  1. WHERE have the account settings gone? I can't find privacy settings anymore!

    That little icon (wheel) no longer gives me my account settings. I don't WANT to play with "themes" and colors, I want to change a privacy setting. I had to switch BACK to Classic Mail to do it!

  2. CHANGE THE COLORS

    The colors are not conducive to good reading. Change to allow black and white and get rid of colors. The fonts are illegible in many of the colors and cause excessive eye strain,

  3. Too many line spaces between paragraphs on incoming emails.

    The spaces between paragraphs is grossly overdone (looks like two lines of spaces and then when you reply, the copy of it has 2 X 2 = 4 lines between paragraphs and looks ludicrous with huge gaps. How can I change it? Switching back to Classic seems the only way.
    When highlighting, copy paste, the text takes ages to clean up to a sensible format.

  5. Priority emails

    In today's email-flooded world, it would be helpful to be able to add certain email addresses as a priority list in which emails from that address are automatically starred and/or placed on top until read and/or filed. (Settings / filters / prioritize / add priority / textbox (email address)/ check box (starred and-or on top) / done)

  10. Please give us our settings back

    The "new" YM will be great when you restore many of the features (filters, in particular) we used to have in the old version. Are you still working on implementing those in the new style? It's been quite a while now... Sure miss 'em!

  14. Allow users to run a newly created filter against all the mail in their inbox.

    OK, I see that this idea has been suggesting the past several times (as long ago as 10 years), but someone at Yahoo marks it as Reviewed and people are not allowed to vote on it. So let me try phrasing it in a "use case" style:

    {A user has been involved in a project or group for a while and has now received several hundred emails related to this project over the course of the last 18 months. They realize that their inbox is a bit of a mess and want to move all the mail related to that…

  18. People File Automatic Updating.

    The People file is automatically updated with email addresses of others that are included in the "To" section of emails from a sender who is in my People folder. I am told that there are no settings to prohibit this automatic updating. This automatic updating clutters up the People file and forces the user to periodically delete unwanted email addresses. Please consider deleting this feature or provide a setting that the user can set to prohibit automatic updating.

  19. New Method for Online Registration for a COMMON USERNAME in every websites

    When a website admin tries to get an email account or social networking page matched to his or her domain (or person’s name or business’s name) but fails as someone else has chosen that username already. If any person or organization named ‘xyz’ want to get a specific username blank in every email service and social network for branding, then radical reform is required for current registration process. There are more problems here. A lot of people have the name of more than two, three or four words. For example, Colombian pop star Shakira’s official nick name is ‘Shakira’ and…

  20. Permit customisation of inbox.

    Allow us to customise our own inbox. ie allow us to permanently hide or delete useless, system-created folders such as starred, and that rubbish under Views ( which constantly reappears even though there is a Hide button). Having this rubbish we dont want interferes with a clean, easy to view in box . YOUR unwanted folders push MY folders off the view of the screen.
