  1. "To:" searches should work similar to "From:" searches. THEY DON'T. For example...

    The "To:" search is broken. It should work very much like the "From:" search, but it doesn't. For example:

    Let's say I have been emailing, Back AND Forth, with JoeSmith@corboy.com.

    If I search for "From:corboy", the results DO correctly show some of the emails.

    If I search for "To:corboy", the results are Incorrectly empty.

    If that isn't and error, then it is certainly a weakness.

    I am a Yahoo Mail+ subscriber, so I am also surprised that your email searches don't allow the use of wildcard symbols.

  3. I don't think you can improve it. It is beyond insane! Suddenly I can't move emails into categories I want to keep or view later.

    Please just forward ALL the email I get from Yahoo mail to my gmail account where I will be able to organize the emails I get. What you've done is INSANITY!! I'm done with Yahoo mail.

  5. An icon on which to save an email without waiting

    It would be preferable to have an icon to save an email instead of waiting for Yahoo to save it first, especially when there is a need to go to another site.

  7. Let's Improve Yahoo Mail Together! 🚀 Vote for Sorting Options!

    I've noticed that Yahoo Mail currently lacks an alphabetical or sender-based sorting option, making it a bit challenging to manage our emails efficiently. I believe many of us would benefit from these sorting features.

    To show our collective interest, let's join forces! If you'd like to see alphabetical or sender-based sorting options added to Yahoo Mail, give this post a thumbs up or comment your support. The more votes, the better chance we have of making our email experience even smoother.

    Let's make our voices heard for a more organized inbox! 📬✨

  11. Alphabetical List Names

    Put the Lists in Alphabetical order. I can list the contacts in order but not the list names in alphabetical order. Let the user sort the names or at give them the ability to move the list name higher or lower.

  12. search emails alphabetically

    Why can't I search alphabetically my emails? that way I can scroll and read emails only by Home depot, or amazon, etc....or delete all emails by that sender.
    AT@T lets you do that, its so convenient to delete unnecessary emails all at once.

  13. viewing emails

    My emails are still showing as a thread even though the "group converstions" tab is not on. I want each email to be separate. When they are grouped together it is very difficult to view the separate email I want. I liked the old yahoo mail better!!!!!!!! I may have to change email servers.

  15. Advanced searches for phrases

    It used to be possible to do an advanced search for phrases by putting quotes (inverted commas in British English) around the phrase. Now it searches for each individual word in that quoted phrase separately, making the search results useless. This applies to both paid an free accounts. Please restore this functionality so I can actually find things I'm looking for.

    You need to go back to the old format/layout for Yahoo mail. The new format is confusing and it is difficult to access my mail. I will be dropping Yahoo and will be using Gmail for everything from now on,
    Thank you

  20. option to remove search history and top contacts

    I would really like an option to remove search history and top contacts from the search bar. I can remove the search history through some horrible one by one process, but when I reload the page they simply are there again. The top contacts can't be removed or edited at all. I think this is a privacy. Please let me permanently remove these entries.
