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!

Please give the option to hide the bcc and cc options in draft emails.
Basic Yahoo! Mail does not give you the option to hide the CC and/or BCC email address lines. Having them appear should be an option for users, at least in the Settings for Basic mail.

make it so emails in the inbox are not deleted when you delete "all" in drafts" box
Today I was sorting numerous unsent emails deciding which to keep and which to delete. I clicked all and then unclicked all I wanted to keep. Believing I was only deleting the drafts I clicked delete. I discovered it delete all of mail in the mail too. I had over 20 pages of emails I had specifically kept in my mail. They are now all gone. There are so many bugs in this new program it should never have been put out for use. If you are going through your mail and star one, any that you have checked for…

So a 7 second video is too big to send? Yahoo SUCKS
Why is a 7 second video too big to send? Why do you suck so bad?

I do not like the delete button being right next to the spam button.
Put something in between, even a space. I keep sending things to spam accidentally and then have to retrieve them.

Block senders
The older version allowed you to hover over an email sender, see the address, right click it and add it to block senders list.No longer able to do this.The old version was fine and easier to use.Some actions take more than one click to do what was a one click operation.Progress?

Attachments should be attachments, not thumbnail previews that can't be opened full size.
The idea below mine is the same, but it won't let me "vote" w/o signing into something i don't want. Attachments need to have an option to open the attachments. People don't send them so we can only access a preview/thumbnail of it.
Note, I am signed in. I don't know what hte problem is with this feedback option, but it needs fixing too.38th ranked -
Increase number of messages on a page to 50
I get a lot of messages in a day. The inbox would be more manageable if I could see 50 messages on a page, especially since I like to sort them by sender so I could see what I want to read first.

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
