New Mail Basic

Set my sort preference as my default
I would love it if I could set my sorting preference as a default instead of having to set it every single time I open my email. It is a pain especially because I have to reset it every time I file an email after reading it. So if I have 100 emails, I have to reset my sorting preference 100 times! The options could still be available, but my preference should be set as my preference to be my default...

Enable management of Yahoo storage in the basic mail settings
If I have to manage my storage, I should be able to do it somewhere in the basic mail interface.

I don't like the changes.
It seems that I can no longer insert images directly into the text of an e-mail. And the text editor breaks words in the middle at the end of lines.

Gotta simplify things, allow us to 'design' the email experience, fonts, colors etal. I have no control over those things!

Fix mail item start action to NOT refresh page, just update the star icon
As you know the technology and the resulting mail client you created "New Yahoo Mail Basic" is a disaster. No proper AB testing on the client clearly.
1 KEY BUG >>> you implemented the mail item star function incorrectly. WHEN i star a single mail item in the list the WHOLE PAGE SHOULD NOT REFRESH. If you knew UX design you woiuld know why.

When you delete an email, make it so it doesn't go back to page 1 of your emails. This is how it was until just a couple of days ago.
Up until this last week, Basic Email which I used, let you go through your emails and delete page by page and just bring up the next email under the one you deleted. However, now, when you delete an email, it takes you all the way back to Page 1 of your email list which means you have to click over the page number you were on before to continue deleting older emails. I don't understand why this changed within the last week. It's very frustrating.

undo "back to page 1" change
Something changed this week. It use to be if I navigated to another page of my inbox (say page 4) and deleted emails from page 4 using the check boxes on the left to select items for deletion, after I clicked "Delete" the screen refreshed and I was still on page 4. Now when I do the same steps, after clicking Delete I end up back on page 1 and have to navigate back to the page I was on before deleting. Very annoying. Please switch back.

Accidental bulk mail removal
If you accidently fail to click on any email, yahoo mail calls it bulk mail removal. NO. IT IS SIMPLY A MISTAKE that I clicked on something but it didn't register. Sure there is a prompt asking if you want to remove all 3000 emails, but it is a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE idea. Human mind has multiple thoughts and it accidently clicks yes because for sure I was trying to remove 1 particular email not all 3000 in my mailbox. Just GET RID of it. I've already been bitten by it once.
Add a separate bulk removal icon.

I would like the old email
I like to use the down arrow to choose the emails of "unread" "new" "all" etc. I usually choose the "unread" choice and read through them before deleting.
Please reset the emails

deve simplificar com novos critérios segurança, pois criam dificuldades para o dono do e-mail 23 minutos para verificar e trocar uma senha?
1- Deve ser criado facilidades para o dono da senha alterar a senha 23 minutos é muito
2- Quanto mais dados e informações o dono do e-mail fornece mais problemas com o vazamento de dados e mais tempo.
3- Todo o critério de segurança definido, contudo deve pensar que a população envelhece no Brasil somos 30% e ficar com critérios ou mesmo tendo que confiar em sistemas que guardem a senha pelo tamanho que exigem e um futuro sombrio para esses métodos.
4-Veja que se a pessoa não tiver saldo no celular, não consegue acessar se exigir que verifique e…90th ranked -

Go back to being able to Delete Unread ! Every time I try to delete how I used to it threatens to delete my entire inbox.
Go back to how it used to be!! Now I have to click on every damned email individually to delete it, which I simply don't have time for so it builds up. then when you have a bunch to delete there's no way to corral them into a pile for the trash. WTH, Yahoo??? Why are you making my morning email such a pain **********? Go Back. Your improvements aren't improvements at ALL.

Add a VIEW menu
Add a VIEW menu so we can configure the layout at least a little bit - adding or removing the TASK, CALENDAR, etc panel.
