Links in Signature
I used to have links in my signature and now the links have become inactive and there's no way to edit them to re-do the links. Bring back ink functionality in signatures.

After hitting the "Reply" button - how about putting the cursor in the BODY of the email ready to type.
Right now, when you hit Reply, the cursor is not active anywhere. So if you hit Reply, and then start typing - nothing happens. This BREAKS the way Yahoo email used to work before the "update". Please put it back.

Sortieren der Kontakte
Warum bleibt die Sortierung nach Nachnamen nicht bestehen, sondern wechselt immer wieder auf Vornamen (z.B. wenn man eine Löschung gemacht hat). Das ist supermühsam.

missing items or can't find them
can't find where to change font, size , color etc.
tired of closing mail, thinking i am in an internet tab, wish it would be able to freeze the top of the email, where it notes it is mail,
system is now slower since you have changed, more frustrating to navigate, more steps to activate an action, before you could just click on move, pick the folder and it went, now you have to activate it as well and waitbefore I could paste into the email directly, now I have to create a file, and attach it, can't seem…

Please add back the folder list on the left margin
In the new email format the folder structure can be found in a drop down box. Having the folder list visible was much better user experience.

Yahoo mail is terrible
Why can't I remove the folders that show on the Left side if the page? That would leave more room for the message that should show without having to click on the email - like Xfinity and some other Mail servers. Also, the delete function is slow and cumbersome. How about just copying Xfinity email???

Can't edit forwarded messages
You've got to be kidding me! So now when I forward a message I have the choice of sending the entire thing or deleting the entire original message. No way to delete part of it, not even the part showing the person's name and email, which is a privacy issue. Again, do you even TEST this stuff before forcing us to use it?

get rid of right panel that opens when one searches in Yahoo Plus
dunno why anyone thought that I need to see a panel when I search for an email that tells me how long I have been corresponding with someone, how many emails I've sent and what the subject was in the first email. How is any of this information remotely useful? I used to work as an human factors engineer for Boeing and this is pretty much the same as a pilot opening a chart and a panel displaying telling him/her how many times they have flown to that airport and when the first time was. Point of all of this…

Readd the "return to folder" button
In the old basic mail a week ago, when you clicked on an email, there would be a button in the top left that said "Return to <FOLDER>" with whatever folder you had been in. Clicking that would take you back to viewing the folder in the state it had been when you left, including if any emails were checked off or not.
Now, that button is missing. So there's no easy way to get back to viewing what you were looking at before you clicked an email.
Please restore the "Return to <FOLDER>" button.
