  1. Scrolling through mail is jumpy as it skips emails

    Scrolling through email is impossible. I use the scroll wheel on my mouse to look through email as I use a pc. I can start at the top and after one or two short scrolls down it jumps down so I miss several hours of emails For example, my newest email came at 6:12pm today..After I get down to 4:20pm it jumps to mail received at 1pm without my even scrolling and when I go back up I see I missed 32 emails received. No matter how many times I go back to the top and try again it always…

  2. Arrow to view subfolders of subfolders no longer visible

    When the left side of the screen is expanded to show folders, if a subfolder name is too long, the drop-down arrow to show the subfolders under that folder is no longer visible. This is a new issue. Previously, the folder name would be truncated so that the arrow was always visible. Now, I can't access the subfolders of a subfolder unless I close the left-hand column, click on the icon for Folders, and choose the subfolder's subfolders through the pop-up box. Please fix this ASAP so that the drop-down arrows to access subfolders are again always visible.

  3. clicking outside the selector box of an email cancels all selected emails for deletion

    This drives me nuts. When i'm cleaning out emails, junk or otherwise, by selecting emails by clicking the box next to them, if i miss a box ALL the emails i've selected get de-selected. Then i have to go through it again. Huge pain. Please fix this.

  4. Return to old yahoo mail

    I don't like the new layout and I don't like the categories. You make assumptions on what my priorities are. I can sort my own e-mails and move them to folders the way I want.

    The format and layout were better in the old version. At least you changed it so AI summaries can be disable because they was the biggest waste of development time and space.

  5. Please make the select all checkbox always visible!

    The only way that the Select All checkbox appears for me is if I first select an email. Please just make it ALWAYS visible!

  10. After selecting a folder from the Move drop down, keep that location for the next Move

    When an email is to be moved to a folder and you select a folder from the Move dropdown, the next time you want to do the same thing, the Move dropdown has returned to the top folder.

    Fix: Keep the top Dropdown folder showing the last one used. It used to work this way.

    If you reply to an email, that crates 2 emails for the one sent. To move them both into the same folder, you select file from the Inbox, select the Move dropdown, scroll to the folder and move the file. Then go to the Sent…

  12. Recent folder list in move button

    It would be great to have the list of the 5 most recent folders on top when you press the move button to move an email to a different folder. Every time you need to do it, you need to locate the folder again and again. Thanks!
