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.

get rid of AI
YOUR signing in process from HUngary is flawed since you have a hungarian subsidiary and hungarian text i must go through, Most often I get the msg "uuuh start over" or "we cannot sign you in" AFTER I entered even a verification code. This is evidently ABUSE. this is criminal actvity so I highly recommend you fix it and stop using STUPID AI which just adds to the problem. AI is good for nothing other than killing off life. YAHOO IS JUST WASTE F MY PRECIOUS TIME.

LOVE the New Calendar format!
Beautiful. Defaults to Monthly, highlights the current day with the Blue dot, and has pastel colors behind the text instead of the dark colors. Beautiful set-up! Thanks

Unsecure feature
In web version Yahoo Mail, I randomly clicked on "Delete" (I thought I've selected one email but nothing was selected) and it showed a message "Are you sure you want to permanently delete 1072 emails?" and the "yes" was preselected as default!
If I didn't notice, I was going to delete all my years email history!More Detail:
there was no email selected at all
I clicked on delete by mistake
a small window popped showing: "Are you sure you want to delete 1072 emails?" (I'm not sure about the exact words or the number, but that's not the point)…168th ranked -

Hi
Hi, I'm getting more than fed up with verification codes and alternate emails. Either you stop this or I'm canceling my Yahoo account. Regards.

Remove the countdown timer for a new 2 step code to login into your email,its not needed,just have a button saying send new code!
When you have a timer it stresses you out to add the numbers quickly,its not needed,just add a button to send new code like other sites do.

Can't edit forwarded messages
You've got to be kidding me! So now when I forward a message I have the choice of sending the entire thing or deleting the entire original message. No way to delete part of it, not even the part showing the person's name and email, which is a privacy issue. Again, do you even TEST this stuff before forcing us to use it?

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…
