New Mail Basic

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.

Why can I only see 20 messages per page? If it would be more (like it was before) then it is much each easier to scroll.

what happened to color scheme options??
I managed to get to a page that let me choose my preferred color scheme again but when I applied these changes it didn't take (to my inbox). Now I can't even access those options anymore??

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.

Why do I have to scroll back up to delete emails that are checked?
Why do I have to scroll back to the top to delete emails and how do I remedy this? It is a huge time waster! Additionally, I am forced to scroll back up in order to hit delete after checking the boxes on emails. Another drag on my time! And lastly, why do I get routed back to the home page after deleting a read email? I need to go to the next email. Please fix this immediately! I have always preferred to look at my email on my desktop because it was easier than my phone but not anymore.

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

Latency has increased. After clicking to open an email and clicking to delete an email, the latency is noticeably slower.

Go back to the old version
It takes me twice as long to get thru my mail, moving it to another folder;; blocking addresses is very cumbersome. I want to see all my mail on the same page.

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!

What happened to being able to mass select emails via CTRL+ right click?
I used to be able to select an email, then CTRL+right click one several emails down and select them all at once without having to use the select all button and unselecting the ones I don't want included.
And are you going to answer any of these? Or return our beloved classic to us and quit screwing with as close to perfection as we're going to get?

Auto Refresh Inbox
When a new message comes in you put a notification on the inbox page. Why not dispense with the notification and just auto refresh the page either when something comes in or on a regular schedule such as every five minutes.

Please for the love of all things, go back to the font/format you used before!
Yesterday as I went to check my email I was hoping it was just a bad dream and that today when I checked it, it would be back to normal I would be able to actually READ who the email was from, the subject AND the actual email but I was very disappointed to see that it's still the same ****! When you have a c looking like an o and a i looking like a l, that is about the dumbest font you can pick! Let US pick what font/size and all that for our inbox. I get that…

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????
