  1. Turn off automatic downloading of embedded images

    By default, turn off automatic downloading of images in emails. Everyone knows this is the largest tracking mechanism in emails and puts the user at risk of being spammed. This keeps getting re-enabled and it is a huge security flaw.

  2. I want to see the sender's name ,not just the first line of the e-mail, before I open it. Is there an option in settings that I am missing?

    I cannot find any option is settings that allows me to choose a view that displays the sender's name in my inbox. I wish to know who the sender is before I open an e-mail.

    You're new look is not appealing to many people. The design is so not you!

  4. Cannot add new disposable address

    Cannot add new disposable address

    THe button for adding a new email address is greyed out. It used to work, as I have 237 of 500 and therefore many still available. I have tried in different browsers, inlcuding without any form of blocker.
    THis new mail is just awful.
    For some reason all of the threads that mention disposable addresses are locked, yet the help section still says that we can add disposable addresses. Does Yaho want to get rid of us all?

  7. 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…

  10. allow basename removal or change at least once

    In the disposable email section, my former wife created a basename, which I didn't realize existed until I switched Yahoo formats today. A Yahoo chat specialist told me there is no way to currently delete or change a basename. I have been a Yahoo Plus user for over 12 years and a Yahoo user for 21 years. Please provide an option here, even it's only a 1x option. Thank you!

  11. The latest mail update is a step in the wrong direction, form over substance

    The new settings button opens a huge section dealing with themes.
    ICYMI, email isn't about colors, it's about productivity. Now, to change an actual setting, I need to click one more button for 'more settings'.
    A step in the wrong direction.
    ALSO,
    the one setting that would actually help me is still broken:
    in view mode, with preview pane set on the right, and messages sorted newest first, after moving a message to a folder the view always goes to the previous message, regardless of the setting of 'previous' vs 'next'.

  13. Filters

    Would it be possible to create a filter system that can look for multiple pieces of the same type of criteria? For example, more than one email address, or more than one word in the subject?

  14. selection boxes next to emails are too faint

    the selection boxes next to emails in the inbox are so faint that they're difficult to see, so the cursor ends up outside of the box when selecting emails to delete; then you're taken to the email you were trying to delete, and when you go back to inbox, you have to re-select all of those emails. There is no way to increase this box contrast.

  16. Personalizating options for visually challenged.

    Background options for the visually challenged, which include BLACK/darker text for folders, inbox, etc., with light toned, not bright white backgrounds. The eyes struggle with white ones. To bright! Right now the options do not offer this in settings, for personalizing. The old inbox did. I could have a non-white background and still have dark text. This is exactly why I refused to click the change to new option. I knew I'd lose what worked so well. Judging by other posts, I'm far from alone on this issue. The question is, will Yahoo care and accommodate these needs? I'm sure…
