  2. Remove bug due to sort by "unread" flag

    When emails are sorted by "unread" flag, if you enter a message to read it, then leave the mail window and then go back to the mail window, you will see a different message. All messages, from the one you had originally selected to the current one shown in the yahoo mail window, are then flagged as "read", whereas you have no read them yet.

  3. FIX the Layout and line wrap

    The advertisements on the right side are WAY TOO LARGE. Cut that space in half and give us our email space back. As it is there is very little room for displaying the email message.
    Furthermore, the displayed email does not wrap the lines forcing me to have to scroll over to read it---except there are no scroll horizontal bars. I have to select the text and drag off the screen to see the rest of the line. If that is a very long line, it will scroll past the middle section of it with no option for viewing it. …

  4. Message deleted Undo

    Message Deleted - UNDO this is a simple fix. Move the option to UNDO (or allow the user to move the box) up and out of the way. Between the Search button and the user profile is a good location for it. It lays over top of other tabs when I have several messages open, and it is a performance issue. Simple, please fix!

  5. Please STOP auto-scrolling the message list

    Please STOP auto-scrolling the message list or make it an option to do so. Do not auto-scroll after updating the particular box or after the user has deleted or read a message, etc. I am constantly starting to click on the "delete icon" for a message in the message list and just before I click the list auto-scrolls and I end up clicking delete on the wrong message. Then I have to go find in it in the Trash folder.

  6. Make finding where to change my password easier!!!

    You have received numerous complaints about how difficult it is to find where to change a password. Don't you realize you are causing grief to millions of people? Somebody needs to put the hurt on you from within Yahoo, a boycott, public embarrassment. It works for you and that's all you care about. You're living anonymously in your own little world where the only people that matter are your boss, your bosses boss and the guy down the hall. You don't see the people who your are affecting. This has been going on for years. Somebody needs to come down…

  8. check

    Please make the check boxes work better! When I am selecting a row of spam emails to delete, I often click just outside the tiny checkbox. Suddenly, all my work is gone as I mistakenly open an email. This did NOT happen in the previous version!! SO FRUSTRATING!!!

  10. Feedback approach itself very un-user friendly.

    If there is an existing idea, if that's not resolved the user should be allowed to add further comments. if its resolved then there should be clear steps about how user can use it. if its in progress then let the user know how soon this will be available.

  11. COLOR OPTIONS FOR STARS

    Desperately need more ways to flag / star an e-mail. Please add additional shapes or colors for better organization.

    We currently use Yahoo Mail Pro for business and our shop shares a single e-mail account that our customers send to. Having additional flag options would make it so much easier to organize e-mails per employee.

    (For example: Everything marked red would be jobs Josh is responsible for and green would be Andrew's current jobs / or blue are jobs waiting for a customer response and yellow are jobs that need proofs sent to etc.)

    This would let us quickly see…

  13. Preview scroll

    Message Preview is cut off on right side by the settings/folder/pethetic-ads HUGE box and there is no horizontal scroll bar available. AND there are more stupid ads on the left of the screen. It seems you care less about us reading our email (which is why we are here) than you do about showing up tons of ads we have absolutely no interest in seeing. GET RID OF THE FLUFF and give us our email back.
    I wonder if there is a way to install a software-feedback-loop to jam all that garbage back at YooDoo (Yahoo). Similar to an audio…

  14. problems with new version

    Delete key from keyboard no longer works.

    And after deleting an email from the inbox it opens an email in the reading pane that I moved to a subfolder...multiple subfolders depending on the order of the emails received and which email in the inbox is being deleted.
    i.e i received and email about my solar system that I moved to the "home" folder. I then deleted the next email i received (based on time stamp, so above the one I just moved) and the email about my solar system opens in the reading pane.

  15. buttons disappear

    Please get rid of the disappearing toolbar when composing an email. Just leave it there. I don't want to have to scroll up several times for it to reappear. That's annoying.

  16. stop making backspace delete mails

    Not sure when this feature started, but I've deleted multiple emails on accident now because I use my backspace button to get me back to the Inbox after reading an email. (I have a chrome plugin for backspace to go back a page) Now it looks like my backspace deletes mails. And if you don't click undo quickly enough, they don't seem to even be in the trash. They're gone as far as I can tell. Please consider stopping using the backspace to delete. This is very ******* me. Thanks.
