You removed "select all unread" I hate most of the new "features" but this is the worst. Also, not refreshing automatically.
You removed "select all unread" I hate most of the new "features" but this is the worst. Much harder to remove the mass of junk that comes in. Also, not refreshing automatically is terrib;e

Bring back the 'Images' option that allowed you to view all images sent/received
We used to be able to see all the images in one location by selecting an "images" option. I found that feature to be unique to Yahoo and that is one of the ONLY reasons I maintained my Yahoo email this long. I would like that back, cause to be honest, the usability has degraded and the fact that having a Yahoo account is seen as outdated as it is, but if the ability to view all the images is gone, I will just start using a more modern server like Gmail.

The top action line HAS to freeze when scrolling! Who would ever want to scroll up and down to do something.
The top action line HAS to freeze when scrolling! Who would ever want to scroll up and down to do something like deleting or archiving. Get it together Yahoo. There aren't many of us still using you.

Please remove the tabs across the top of my inbox
You added tabs across the top of the inbox. This is unnecessary since they are not commonly used. They can be summed in in an options drop down.

Have inbox utilize all available space in window
Have inbox use all available space, not just a third (center "column") of the window, leaving the right side completely blank and useless. This makes reading the inbox and email content easier.

A Fundamental Flaw with Accessing Emails in Folders other Than the Inbox
I have dozens of folders, very common. When I click on any given folder to search specific older emails the system automatically to the Inbox as indicated by the Inbox tab above the email messages. Meaning, I can not use the right arrows to go beyond page one of any folder without the system automatically pulling me back to the Inbox. So any other folder with more than one page worth of messages can never be accessed. This is detrimental to my ability to access historical messages needed. PLEASE FIX ASAP! A folder accessed should remain in that folder!

show then delete all emails from a sender
It used to be possible to check ALL the emails from a sender, then delete them. there was a little symbol... (magnifying glass) now, nothing. Maybe it's possible, but it's hidden. Why fix what works?

Searching Contacts
The "Search" function in Contacts should search the "Nickname" field as well. Currently this field does not appear to be included in the Search function.

Don't have AI filter out my email.
I did not know I had so many messages until I went back to the classic look. I would have missed important information if I would have stayed in the new look. There was no notification that it was filtering out emails. It was not until I changed back for another reason (not able to display full email address when sending emails) that I found out there were a bunch of other emails that were hidden from me.

How about sending my emails to my inbox
I'd like to present the idea of sending recipients their emails into their actual inbox. Especially important emails LIKE FROM VERIZON SO THAT I CAN REPLACE MY PHONE.

Make the email more user friendly.
I got used to your last change, which had good features, such as identifying icons for where the email was coming from; and being able to ask for a specific folder to move something to, rather than having to go down the whole list every time. It was weird when it first happened, but it did improve things.
I don't know who your "improvements" were for this time, but they certainly were not for me. Now I can't figure out how to go back to the old email, though it apparently wouldn't do any good when you tell me it's…166th ranked -

i absolutely hate the new version
the old version, the send button was always accessible without scrolling to find it. Also the old version automatically opened the next email when you deleted the email you were reading, instead of going back to inbox list where you have to start over and find where you were, both options that were taken away save time when trying to answer 100+ emails, I hate the new version

Unlimited email storage
Hello, I have had the yahoo email account since its inception. I was told - in writing and after the big password leak in early 2000s - that my yahoo email will have unlimited storage, forever. Now I suddenly find that I have exceeded my storage quota, the existence of which I was completely unaware! How about sticking to your promises and keep the storage unlimited for faithful clients like me?

Stop assigning my gmail account as spam.
Since I have a computer that cannot handle most modern websites, nor has bluetooth nor an android to pc adapter, I email myself tons of files from my phone to this yahoo account. In the past few months, Yahoo has started marking these PERSONAL emails as SPAM... and continues to do so even when I tell the system they are NOT spam. Please fix this issue. Thank you.
