  2. Inbox too **** crowded

    Why the **** is the inbox so crowded? The font is big, there's too many ****** icons that are completely useless, and those stupid buttons pop up and obscure the subject. The sender email is cut off after 10 letters. Hovering over used to give the full subject and sender, but now it's some random email from the mailing list and a huge ******* label saying "UNSUBSCRIBE". This new email is TERRIBLE!

  5. sort emails in a folder by subject

    A request, not an idea. I'm a 30+ year Comcast email user required to convert to Yahoo. For all those years have been able to alphabetically sort emails in a folder by subject, size, date from, unread. AN IMPORTANT FEATURE apparently not available in Yahoo. Most important one to me is ability to search by subject. Am sure many others would also appreciate that ability.

  6. Honor your free subscription

    I am still listed as being able to use the free (old) system. I am not interested in paying $5 a month for this. And is it going to try and charge me for every email address I have I have?
    I want to keep using the free system.

  12. So slow it is unusable

    I need the option to return to the old basic user interface. This new one is so slow it is unusable. Don't force this terrible user experience on us. Where is the option to revert to the old basic interface?

  13. stop going to the top of the list

    ok removing the pages really messed up my workflow .. this being said I know I have it set to go back to the inbox after I move a message.. but can we at least make it not swing all the way to the top? like if im on message 152 and I delete it go back to the main list but keep it down where I was working like 152 not all the way to the top because now I have to scroll all the way back down this giant list to where I was. Really I just want…

  16. I don't want to wade through all of the messages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This new "look" is almost identical to google mail and I don't use that because I don't want to have to deal with so many messages or look at Primary, Offers, Social, etc when I delete in bulk. This is terrible and will waste a lot of time. The list is too GD long- break it up into pages the way it was before or let us choose to go back to that version!

    This is terrible!

  19. Put back the day/yesterday/last week/month headers

    As stated, Put back the day/yesterday/last week/month headers. Why on earth would you remove that feature? It doesn't impede the larger ad space that the developers were seeking, The inbox just looks like a cluttered mess and it's harder to differentiate recent emails. It was so much easier to look at a weeks worth of emails and see yesterday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, last week etc..

  20. yahoo mail

    Sir,

    Every time not allowing to me login when I put the password and username. it is simply annoying. Could you please make sure that once I verified the email at least give me some more time to verify my identity.. For the past few days, it is simply irritating.

    Please understand my situation and do the needful. what I considered as decent harassment.

    Thanks
    Kris
