    Ease of use is absent. Simple things like changing passwords etc is so very difficult. Also daily needs such as conditional forwarding of emails to other mail accounts is absent. Yahoo could be much better is simple needs are addressed. Except for emails, no other utility. Why not allow 1TB of allocated space to also be used for storing files etc. What kind of apps are associated or provided with Yahoo email.

    Just giving 1TB of space will not satisfy a user so easily.

  3. groups

    Why is it so hard to get to groups. All I want in groups and it takes about 5 clicks to get there. Why can't I go directly?

  4. please go directly to selected inbox email not to that new, confusing list of sent & received messages

    eliminate the intermediate list; just go directly to the selected email.
    PLEASe put the sign-out button back in the empty space atop the page, not in a drop-down.

  5. DON'T CHANGE THE SORT ORDER!

    Stop changing the sort order back to "NEWEST FIRST!" Every time YM Hiccups it changes the sort order to YOUR FVCKING DEFAULT. Put a flag in my settings to permanently CHANGE THE DEFAULT SORT ORDER.

  7. Move Up after Delete, not Down

    When I have several unread emails I start at the oldest one and work my way up to the newest. After reading some emails I then delete them. I would like to be moved to the unread one above the delete, not the previously read below. This could be an Option: "After Delete, move to Newer, or Previous"

  8. header line

    The header line that appears at the top of each email - it contains an icon to mark the mail as unread/read, a star icon, and info about the folder containing the mail and its "subject." The problem I have is that this line scrolls off the top of the screen with the body of the mail. This makes it worse than useless, it takes up MY real estate for no puropse at all. Either 1. GET RID OF IT, or 2. FIX IT IN PLACE.

  10. ARCHIVE BUCKET

    WHY DID YOU HAVE TO PUT THE ARCHIVE BUCKET ON THE FAR LEFT, BEFORE THE DELETE BUCKET ICON....????
    Why not move the archive icon to the far right of the line because most people DO NOT ARCHIVE an email as a first option - they delete or move it THEN they MIGHT consider archiving it.
    MOVE-THE-ARCHIVE-BUCKET-ICON-please......!!!!

  11. Why is scrolling through my history now take forever? It was much better and faster on the old version that you forced me away from.

    Scrolling through emails now is extremely slow, it was quicker with the old layout. Make scrolling much much quicker!

  14. navigation panel

    1. The (left-sided) Navigation Panel top section should have the option to hide folders like ' Archived', ' Starred', 'Unread', or the one not in regular use.
    2. The 'Views' section should remain collapsed by default.

  15. USELESS Header info

    There's a "generated" header above the ctual email. It contains a duplicate of the "unread" dot tht appears in the very next line as part of the email itself. This line is useless, as it scrolls off the screen as part of the email. Either get rid of it, or fix it's position as permanent when the email scrolls.

  16. Fix the positions of "dispositions"

    The "archive, move, delete, and spam" actions above the mail window move back and forth depending on whether an item is open or not. You went to the "trouble" of moving them away from the left hand side, just go ahead and give each a fixed position.

  18. disposition icons

    You moved the disposition icons ( archive, move, delete, spam, [more]) to closer to the center of the field. But they're still in different positions when I have an email open from when I don't. Please be consistent. One of the original goals of Windows was to make the user interface consistent and intuitive. Just because you think you're gonna maintain market share by concentrating on your smartphone interface doesn't mean you should give up solid principles. Make them consistent.

  19. Remove "unread," "starred," and "less/more" from the left hand column.

    Remove "unread," "starred," and "less/more" from the left hand column. unread and starred don't belong in this list, they are options, not folders or folder types, and, without them, less/more are unnecessary.Make "views a menu option elsewhere, since people either use it or never use it. AT LEAST, get rid of the leading and trailing blank lines. You're using up MY real estate for no practical reason.

  20. re-size the Yahoo pages when we don't (ever) work Full-SCREEN

    We don't work with any page in full screen.
    Good programs readjust their "frames" to accommodate the resizing.
    The execrable New Yahoo Mail doesn't.
    Thus many commands and tabs are off the "screen" window we have chosen.
    If if is possible, why not make it "readjustable: when resizing an application.
    I want to Sign Out, however that is "hidden" off to the right "off screen"

    Don't
