  1. The "Drafts" icon no longer shows the number of active drafts

    In the old version I was able to see how many drafts were currently in the Drafts folder.

    This is no longer possible for some reason

    Please fix.

  2. 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…

  4. Change the mailbox look

    This is probably the 3rd time I write and complaint about the way the email inbox look. I hate it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    The old version was just fine and easy to navigate. I have such a hard time to see what email I read or not. It takes me more time to find what I'm looking for now. Wasting time every day. It has been months you made this change and despite so many complaints from other people it seems like you don't care.

  6. Fix message hovers on Firefox, esp "Delete" (Trashcan) Icon

    After deleting a message with the trash can hover, the next message pops up. On Chrome, the trash can icon appears as expected. But on Firefox, you have to move the mouse out of the pane (either hover over another message, or move right to the preview pane and then back over the message. This makes deleting many messages in a row painful. It's a simple implementation bug, but worth fixing as Firefox is still a very popular browser.

  7. BUG: Folder menu floating offset in Safari browser

    I am using Safari browser Version 18.6 (18621.3.11.19.1, 18621) on a MacBook M1 Pro running Ventura 13.7.8 (22H730).

    I drag and drop messages from my inbox into folders to stay organized. Recently, when dragging messages to the "Folders" icon on Safari, the subfolders popup menu that appears on hover is too far above the Folders button. The subfolders menu disappears as soon as I exit the Folders button hover area because the submenu is too far away. For now, I'm using the expanded left sidebar to avoid this.

    This popup menu offset issue does not occur on Chrome browser.

  8. can't scroll through folders anymore when dragging message to folder

    It used to be that, when dragging a message to a folder, if there were more folders than could be viewed, you could just drag the message "beyond the bottom" and the folders would scroll up... This no longer works (on new or old yahoomail). instead, I just get a red circle with a slash.

  10. 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!
