  1. Clear searches

    In the yahoo mail app, there is an option to search your mail, however there Ian no way to clear "recent searches". There needs to be a way to clear these searches because after a month, they're not that recent!!

    In the "settings" you need to put where we have a CHOICE as to WHICH SIDE we want the calendar, note pad, and all on because I not only just dislike but I do LOATH, DESPISE, AND HATE WITH A PASSION that the calendar and all are on the RIGHT rather than the LEFT!!!! GAG ME WITH A FREAKING STICK WHY DON'T YA!

  4. Mobile notifications from favorites only

    Will you please make an option for me to only receive notices of new emails from favorite/starred contacts only?
    I appreciate that I can get notices only from "real people" right now, but I'd like to be able to get notices whenever a favorite contact emails me. I don't care to receive any other new mail notices.

  5. In the new Yahoo! Mail, emails in the Inbox are sorted by age. I do not want this. How do you get rid of the age categories?

    Please, how do you get rid of the age categories in the Yahoo! Mail Inbox. I want a simple list of emails, newest on top.

  6. The area for the sender name is too wide and can't be adjusted. If it was adjustable width that would be helpful. if

    Please consider making the width of the sender filed narrower. It is too wide and reduces the subject line info more than needed.

  7. Auto-archive folders after time period

    Would love the option to set a time period for folders after which mail inside auto-archives.

    For example, say I have a filter that moves all promo and deal type emails into a "Deals" folder. By their nature, any of those promotions will likely have expired after a month, so if I could set the mail in that folder to auto-archive when it's a month old, that would be super helpful

  10. rules and forwarding

    Allow forwarding certain emails based on defined rules / filters: nowadays one can only forward ALL emails to 1 address and that's really poor functionality - I'm actually considering switching to GMail for this reason alone.
    Thank you

  14. Disposable addresses randomized AGAIN - please alphabetize and add search function in settings

    Disposable addresses are, again, listed in a randomized order, making it extremely time consuming to find a specific address. Please ensure that all future mail versions have alphabetized disposable addresses when composing a message AND in the settings window to add/edit/delete disposable addresses. A search bar would also be useful in the settings window.

  16. Filters Drag and Insert

    Ordering of filters list make it so you can drag them up or down.
    Adding a new filter make so you can select an existing filter and when you create the new filter have it insert at the current position in the list. If you have a bunch of filters and like to order them into groups then you have to click the up/down arrow a lot

  17. More flexibility for personal settings

    The thing I didn't like about the new look of my inbox is that I can't adjust the layout by just clicking on the edge of the window and dragging it to the desired position like in old Windows. It's most annoying that I can't see full size message straight away and instead of just pressing something like "fit to the window size" I have to waste time scrolling it manually from left to right. It is an enormous pain when I don't have a mouse to use. thanks.
