seriously,, 20 GB for long time customers? Surley you Jest,,
terrible Yahoo customer service ,, you should have not forces existing customers to comply with 20GB storage,, anyone that signed up when the 1TB offer was valid should have been allowed to keep it. Also, you need to have an option for annual or semi annual or whatever length of time the customer wants to pay for in advance if they choose larger storage program. Not everyone is willing to do monthly payments,, you have poor planning and no idea how to run your business.

Set my sort preference as my default
I would love it if I could set my sorting preference as a default instead of having to set it every single time I open my email. It is a pain especially because I have to reset it every time I file an email after reading it. So if I have 100 emails, I have to reset my sorting preference 100 times! The options could still be available, but my preference should be set as my preference to be my default...

Enable management of Yahoo storage in the basic mail settings
If I have to manage my storage, I should be able to do it somewhere in the basic mail interface.

When you delete an email, make it so it doesn't go back to page 1 of your emails. This is how it was until just a couple of days ago.
Up until this last week, Basic Email which I used, let you go through your emails and delete page by page and just bring up the next email under the one you deleted. However, now, when you delete an email, it takes you all the way back to Page 1 of your email list which means you have to click over the page number you were on before to continue deleting older emails. I don't understand why this changed within the last week. It's very frustrating.

undo "back to page 1" change
Something changed this week. It use to be if I navigated to another page of my inbox (say page 4) and deleted emails from page 4 using the check boxes on the left to select items for deletion, after I clicked "Delete" the screen refreshed and I was still on page 4. Now when I do the same steps, after clicking Delete I end up back on page 1 and have to navigate back to the page I was on before deleting. Very annoying. Please switch back.

Put it back the way it was before the recent change in how uploads are done.
Recently, adding photos in the oldest available version results in the message “Compose Failed The message you are trying to open is no longer available. Back to Inbox [link]”. When I click on the link, two new messages are in the inbox, one with the attachment! The other without the attachment. To add another attachment, I must open the one with the attachment and select Forward, then add the attachment. This combination of actions must be repeated for every attachment I want to add. 5 attachments, 5 forwards and duplicates. It’s a mess. Please put it back the way it…

Verification code
Verification code is a disaster. I ask for it to be resent many times only for them all to eventually arrive all together sometimes after a wait of at least 10 minutes. Have checked all my setting and can find no reason for this. Please explain.

FIX THE NEW UPDATE FOR MACS
I can't get the new update for yahoo mail to work on my Mac computer. I have tried on both they are both updated to their latest software that's available to them which is Catalina 10.15.7
I feel like there needs to be an option to fix this otherwise I will be forced to move to a different email platform.
I tried downloading google chrome and that won't work either on this version of the Mac.

Need an option to choose how many emails per page
Unfortunately, I had to switch back to the basic version, which has about 25 emails per page, and when I click the check box to "select all", it affects only the 25 emails on the page, and no more. It's much easier to process and clean up 25 emails at a time. On the new Yahoo Mail, when I click the check box to "select all", it selects hundreds of emails. I hope it has an option to allow users to choose how many emails they want to see on each page.

I don't like the changes.
It seems that I can no longer insert images directly into the text of an e-mail. And the text editor breaks words in the middle at the end of lines.

A Fundamental Flaw with Accessing Emails in Folders other Than the Inbox II
Request #2: I have dozens of folders and most when accessed to search for specific older emails the system automatically defaults 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 most folders without the system automatically pulling me back to the Inbox. So most folders with more than one page worth of messages can never be accessed. This is detrimental to my ability to access historical messages needed, some for my financial livelihood. PLEASE FIX ASAP!

Inbox, or any folder for that matter should have all the emails which break them up with multiple pages.
Go back to how it was

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!
