  1. Increase Folder dropdown width while Creating a Filter to show entire folder path along with subfolders

    The size of the folder dropdown list available while creating a folder and clicking on Move To folder should be large enough to show entire folder path along with root folder and sub-folders. As of now, it is of fixed width and not showing full folder path. As search option is also not available here like that available for move mail search folders, it is very time consuming and frustrating to search for the actual folder based on trial and error.

  2. Search within Entire Folder ALONG WITH Subfolders

    Currently, it is NOT possible to select a folder and search with the folder along with all the subfolders of that folder. It should be allowed to search this way as the main purpose of organizing mails in folders and subfolders is precisely to categorize different emails properly.

  3. font

    I opened my email this morning and - Surprise! - the font had been changed overnight. The new font is very difficult to read and trying to check my email is giving me a headache. Accessibility should be a primary concern for websites. But I can't find a way to change the font face or make it bold. Am I missing something? Can this be added? Or can the font simply be changed to what it was before??

  4. My folder list is scrunched on top of each other so only half of the folder name shows. I can't find how to fix and there is no contact

    My folders are scrunched since the last update. I can't find any help and there is no way to contact anyone. They appear as the top half of the name and then the next is overlayed onto it!!!

  6. Menu bar width

    The left hand side menus bar is not sufficient to accommodate a longer file name after file created, suggest to expand. Thanks

    Name of the main folder and sub-folder is not significant enough to differentiate after sub-folder created. Suggested to make a clear. Thanks

  7. Show that Spam and Deleted Items Folders have unread messages

    This is a stupid idea that there is no indication of unread messages in the Spam or Deleted Items folders. Yahoo keeps flagging some of my important emails as Spam, when they are not and I missed a very important email which was in the Spam folder, with no indication that there was any unread messages in the Spam folder. Now I have to look in the Spam folder every time I check my emails.

    Yahoo seems to be determined to make this new version of Yahoo Mail harder to use than the previous version and anything but user-friendly.

    I…

  8. FIX ALL THE BUGS

    Make folders compact like they used to be so that I can see as many folders as I could see in the previous version.

    Put the menu back at the side instead of in the middle where it's necessary to move the mouse half way across the screen to use the menu.

    Put contacts back where they were.

    Get rid of Starred and Unread and show Spam and Deleted Items.

    Get rid of the blank line above and below Views.

    Get rid of the blank line at the top of the email which can't be used or deleted.

    Easiest way…

  9. SPAM BOX BLANK --Yahoo mail is going to be in a lot of trouble when users open the (supposedly empty) SPAM box and see all the junk there

    i just opened the blank spam box and find over a hundred spams there.
    This is far more than the usual, so your spam filter is not blocking a lot of spam in the first place.
    I can see about 1000 spam in a week. How can other people deal with it and see if anything is not spam?
    Select All -- Delete is not a good solution.
    Tell us what is inside each folder every time. Post the number of entries.

    And please stop being so rigid in design that when I adjust the "size" of the Yahoo screen,…

  11. Where has the search icon gone for **FOLDER TITLES**

    I asked the same question in:

    https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/600772-new-mail/suggestions/36800845-folder-search-icon-gone?tracking_code=12b7284f3995cbd6c6a3d4e59dd2c043

    And the answer the admin gave me was how to use advanced search to find emails in folders and closed the thread.

    No mate, that is NOT what I asked.

    There used to be a little icon beside the folder group header in the classic email. It's gone now. Can we have it back please.

  14. I don't want the purchases I've made showing up here on yahoo! That's AWFUL and needs to be changed ASAP!!!

    I don't want the purchases I've made showing up here on yahoo!

    That's AWFUL

    It needs to be changed ASAP!!!

    And while you're at it, just get rid of your new folders (Photos, Documents, Deals, etc).

    They're awful.

    But at the very least DO NOT SHOW MY PURCHASES. I don't care who can are cannot see them. It's NONE of your business!!! Stay away from my purchases, Yahoo!

  15. When I forward an email, the original automatically goes into the "Trash" folder. I want the original email to stay in my "Inbox" folder.

  16. On new mail, move the trash can back to the left of the subject, and condense the folder menu, please!

    Everyone's already said please move the trash can back to the left, and may I add that the extra white space between the messages in the list is worthless, as are the Archive folder and the category names for folders. Just change it all back so that as much information as possible shows in a single screen. Thanks!
