    I received an email from "CVS", but the sender's email address is offer@hotmail.com. And you wrote that it is "This message is from a trusted sender". Are you serious??? If I'd click on their link, it would take me some other website, not to the CVS!!!! And you think it is a trusted sender????
    GIVE BACK THE OLD VERSION!!! THIS IS NOT USEABLE AT ALL!!!!!

  2. Why do I have to log in every time I want to change accounts?

    Changing from one account to the other is tedious now! I have to log in every time I want to switch accounts. Ridiculous!

  5. 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…

  11. Get rid of the Actions button. It is more difficult to move e-mails to folders.

    I can only see a few characters of each folder name. All the changes that Yahoo has made to mail have made it WORSE

  13. Simplify moving an email to a different folder

    I used to be able to just drag an email from my inbox to a different folder. It was simple. Now, it seems that I have 1) click the email, 2) click on Actions, 3) Click on the folder, 4) click apply. 4 clicks for every email I want to move - it's a pretty stupid method.

  14. You made searching emails WORSE! and it was already sketchy. You can't search on a keyword in the email.

    Put BACK searching for a keyword in the email. It sucked but it sometimes worked at least. Now it's gone completely.

  16. deve simplificar com novos critérios segurança, pois criam dificuldades para o dono do e-mail 23 minutos para verificar e trocar uma senha?

    1- Deve ser criado facilidades para o dono da senha alterar a senha 23 minutos é muito
    2- Quanto mais dados e informações o dono do e-mail fornece mais problemas com o vazamento de dados e mais tempo.
    3- Todo o critério de segurança definido, contudo deve pensar que a população envelhece no Brasil somos 30% e ficar com critérios ou mesmo tendo que confiar em sistemas que guardem a senha pelo tamanho que exigem e um futuro sombrio para esses métodos.
    4-Veja que se a pessoa não tiver saldo no celular, não consegue acessar se exigir que verifique e…

  20. Accidental bulk mail removal

    If you accidently fail to click on any email, yahoo mail calls it bulk mail removal. NO. IT IS SIMPLY A MISTAKE that I clicked on something but it didn't register. Sure there is a prompt asking if you want to remove all 3000 emails, but it is a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE idea. Human mind has multiple thoughts and it accidently clicks yes because for sure I was trying to remove 1 particular email not all 3000 in my mailbox. Just GET RID of it. I've already been bitten by it once.

    Add a separate bulk removal icon.
