New Mail Basic
Welcome to our Yahoo Basic Mail feedback forum! This is a place for you to help shape the new Yahoo Basic Mail experience. We review the most popular, feasible ideas from this forum to make positive changes to your Yahoo Mail.

Restore functionality to sort by Sender within a folder.
I noticed today that I can no longer sort email messages within a folder by Sender. This is an important way to find and manage emails, since the Search function isn't working very well.

Readd the "return to folder" button
In the old basic mail a week ago, when you clicked on an email, there would be a button in the top left that said "Return to <FOLDER>" with whatever folder you had been in. Clicking that would take you back to viewing the folder in the state it had been when you left, including if any emails were checked off or not.
Now, that button is missing. So there's no easy way to get back to viewing what you were looking at before you clicked an email.
Please restore the "Return to <FOLDER>" button.

Why do I have to scroll way down to reply to and then to send an email? That option would be better placed at the top or directly under.
Please move the reply and send buttons closer to the body of the email.

Monetizing the Email Forwarding Function
Why are you forcing me to pay a subscription just so I can forward my email to another address? This is a basic function in any email app and the new idea to monetize is should be re-considered.

Bulk Delete
Bulk delete of mail is an option that NEEDS to be REMOVED.
Caught once by this when message came up asking to about bulk when just one item was ticked. Message appears too frequently. Too dangerous and a needless option. Yahoo actually mass deleted my emails three times. It is very annoying. FIX THIS67th ranked -

Put back the 'Not Read" folder that was in the old email.
You took away the "Not read" folder. Now I have just the Inbox which has new mail AND old mail mixed in. I don't need to see the mail after I already read it!!! NOT HAPPY!

The Header with search and other tabs takes 1.5 inches space. Tabs can be smaller width!
The tabs 'search your mailbox', 'Account info', 'Inbox, contact, notepad, calendar' and 'Delete, Spam' action tabs are so wide and take up about 1.5 inches of space on the browser.

Not able to move a message to sent folder from trash
Not able to move a message to sent folder from trash. Lets say you accidentally delete a sent message and want to undo that, only able to move it to inbox, which isn't quite the same. The message list then no longer shows the recipient, it shows "me".

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.

In Search results, show folder that emails found are in-
When searching at top level (all emails), in the search results, add a column to show the folder that the emails were found in.
This helps me to find emails on topic / keyword searched for, and to know where they are filed. It helps YahooMail as if I do not need to create another folder if one already exists that I can use. Finally I can keep my email more organized/less cluttered if I have a tool to locate emails by topic, then I am more likely to clean out those that are no longer needed.
Note: I think…
