New Mail Basic

Not being able to add photos to the body of the text
Why have you got rid of adding photos into the text of the email? It is so annoying that you have to have everything as an attachment which is an extra step all round. Plus you can't choose multiple files in one go to upload to your email you have to do each separately. This new version of the old Mail is really not user friendly. you have added more steps for so many functions. Can you go back to the old version please. the new one is not good.

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.

NEED algorithm stopping spam like this
PLEASE write an algorithm to stop '****' like this from getting through the system. I should not have to deal with this daily to mark as 'spam' when it is OBVIOUS.

One click switch between accounts
I have more than one Yahoo mail account, for different purposes. I used to be able to click on the user icon and change between accounts. Now I have to go to the home Yahoo page, click the icon, choose the account, login again, explain again that I don't want biometrics or two factor authentication, and choose to view email, and close the tab with the home page on it. And often you make me verify my recovery information. It has been the same for years. It will continue to be the same. This is not useful, it is annoying…

Cannot control Enhanced Contacts
Hello,
I am using Yahoo Mail Basic (and have no desire to switch to a newer version), and I have noticed that the people I correspond with are automatically being added to my contacts without any action on my side. According to the Help pages, I should be able to disable this feature by disabling Enhanced Contacts, but there is no control setting for Enhanced Contacts on the Contacts page that I am able to access.
When I click on Settings > Contacts, I just see a list of people that I have added manually to the list. So, I…
