  1. your tech developers...I send a message, then unable to move the message to a file

    After one sends a message and the blurb says 'message sent' it is blocking the spot to see and use the MOVE to folder click on spot. so you have to either WAIT while it vanishes or go x it out.

    site design needs to fix that

  4. Emails being grouped together in Inbox or Sent folder

    Please stop putting all related emails together! It is clunky and very user-unfriendly! Just leave them separated out in their own right. I have accidentally sent myself a reply or having forwarded emails to a third party, then sent an email including the forward, to the original party. It's convoluted and unnecessary. Gives me a headache trying to find parts of a thread!!

  5. Why do you make it hard to setup filters in your new UI?

    Why do you make it hard to setup filters in your new UI? In the old one we could do it directly from the email. Now we have to go to settings and copy/paste in the sender address. I thought new was supposed to be better.

    I want mail from a specific sender to automatically go into a folder I have created; why is this not a feature of Yahoo Mail ?

  10. Notification of the number of unread e-mails should also include those under filters and not just the inbox!

    Because I would frequently miss out on unread e-mails in the filters and I have to ensure now to scroll down and check out my filtered folders if there are any unread e-mails.
    And also, can you get rid of the extra classifier 'unread'? It just wastes space and blocks viewing further classes of e-mails.

  12. What is going on with not being able to save messages in personal folders? These messages are saved for a reason.

    What is going on with not being able to save messages in personal folders? These messages are saved for a reason. This is a recent occurrence from 9/20/18 until present, and I'll be one unhappy customer if I loose my foldered messages-like I have been reading in the comments section, or like now; messages will not save in folders.

  13. Multiple email addresses to the same filt

    For each filter that you make, there should be a way to enter multiple emails into the "From" and "contains" to the same filter. With a comma or semicolon, perhaps, like when you place them into email messages? I spoke to a chat guy and he said that it cannot be done. This is very tedious to have to create 16 different email addresses to go to the same filter. Please advise if there is a way to do this. Thank you!

  15. Unread Mail another color

    I think the unread mail should be a different color text. That way it would be easier to differentiate between read and unread.

  16. Unread count not showing up for Sent, Starred folders

    Sometimes I want to follow up on a mail I have sent. I tried marking it unread and starred so the unread counter in these folders shows something like (1). However, unread counts in the left nav bar doesn't seem to work for these folders. Please fix.

  19. folder name should show full path in search results

    When you do a search (even just clicking on the magnifying glass to get all the emails from the same sender), the folder name displayed is only the ending subfolder & not the whole folder path. Even hovering on the folder name doesn't show the full path.

    The whole folder path is helpful because I might have many subfolders of the same name & I want to know which is the actual full path of the emails (e.g. financial/credit cards/Chase instead of just Chase).

    This is how is works in gmail & I believe that way is much better.
