  1. Attachment placement

    Please put Attachments at the Top, or make an Option to choose between attachments at top or bottom. When an email conversation or chain becomes quite long it is easy to miss a new attachment, and a wast of time and effort to scroll down to see it, or scroll back up after adding one.

  2. scroll position

    Recently, when using the web version, I'm seeing the scroll position preserved when I click from one message to the next. Please restore the old, correct behavior of loading each message at the top. If I scroll to the bottom of one message, that certainly doesn't mean that I want to begin the next message scrolled to the bottom. I always want to start at the top.

  4. Add number of emails in trash and spam folders.

    The draft and inbox both show the number of emails in each folder. The trash and spam folder need to also show the number of emails the same way. Hovering over the folder to see the number of emails in them is a pain in the butt. You took away something so simple just to make a change. Why??? It is not an improvement.

  5. When I open an email and read down - it jumps back to the top all the time

    Stop interfering when I am scrolling down and reading an email. The program keeps jumping me back to the top of the email.

  6. Sort by Unread

    When i sort by unread, I want to go to the next unread message when I click the down arrow or delete a message. Right now it goes to the next oldest email, not the next unread one.

    Also I like being able to keep tabs of emails open if they are something I need to return back to soon.

    I also don't like the "Deals" header and things that show up above the body of the email now. Distracting and complicates getting to the actual message.

    All in all, I do not like the new mail format!!

  7. Stop auto scrolling in my inbox!

    Scrolling through my Yahoo Mail inbox was made more difficult with the last 'update', but this newest one makes this service almost unusable. Now when I click to scroll down to look at emails in my inbox, it suddenly scrolls automatically on its own. It's impossible to browse through my messages that way, and like most of the new features wastes more of my time. I now have to do all sorts of acrobatics to stop the scrolling, and go back to the place in my inbox I actually want to go to. Yahoo Mail has become increasingly inaccessible for…

  8. Auto Highlighting

    Auto Highlighting. Please return auto highlighting. I like to close an email before moving or deleteing it. It's easier to just click "delete" after closing a just read email. Now when you close an email that highlight line shows up somewhere else in a random pattern. To keep that highlight on the email just read I have to "check" the box before reading. That adds an extra stroke I never remember to do.

  9. field separator lines

    WHY is the "Delete" button all the way on the far right???

    Keep it handy closer to the other message buttons. It's annoying to have to move that far for something that in the earlier verison of Yahoo was right in line with the other options and checkboxes.

  10. Advertising

    Hello,

    Using email via the website is an atrocious experience with all the advertising banners and ads masquerading as real inbox emails. I'm in disbelief as how this is even tolerable given the competition of Microsoft and Google. Fix the situation right now before you bleed all your subscribers. Remove the ads!

  11. Please put the Archive,Move,Delete,and Spam functions back over to the left of the bar.

    Please put the Archive,Move,Delete,and Spam functions back over to the left of the bar, as that is where I think people naturally go for these functions because their cursor is mostly over the left two columns. I do not use reply or forward that much, so I wouldn't mind that being to the right of the other functions. Thank you.

  12. ads inside the inbox

    I have to sift through lots of emails and highlight and delete the spam. I really hate that in the middle of all of my email there is an ad that i am accidentally clicking on. Please remove these ads from the inbox, or allow me to return to the old format.

  13. Curent mail message focus

    In the old version, if you click on a message and view it and then return to the box, the email you were just viewing still has focus. The entry has would be bolded blue, and any new action taken would be on that 'focused' message. In the new version, when you return to the box after viewing a message, you have no idea where that message is, so you have to go looking for it again. The old version was so convenient. The new version is a pain. Any chance you can migrate this feature to the new version…

  14. Put the menu back at the side where it used to be

    Whose stupid idea was it to move the menu to the middle of the screen? This means having to move the mouse a lot further to access the menu to do anything with an email.

    This idea seems to be targeted at making life more difficult for the disabled, as it makes it a lot harder for anyone with mobility issues to be able to use Yahoo Mail.

    Put the menu back on the side where it used to be, which makes it a lot easier to use the menu.

  19. little notification flashes

    when going through my email, it is hard to click on the above or below box to delete as a little message obscures the little box stating what the message is, ENOUGH! I can read the message on my own, this little pop up message is annoying as all get out!

  20. Your "delete draft" button on the desktop is in the same spot as the "+" (attachments) button on android. Not good.

    Your "delete draft" button on the desktop is in the same spot as the "+" (attachments) button on android. Not good. Features need to be in roughly the same place from one interface to the other. I just deleted an email that I'd spent 5 minutes tweaking for nuance. Deleted in an instant. Not cool.
