  1. How can you improve the New Yahoo Mail? Like this: let me go to the old view.

    That's unfaire and very client unfriendly to eliminate (or hide deep underground?) the possibility to switch to the old view. I hate the New Yahoo Mail, but cannot switch to the old one. This possibility is eliminated. Very bad of Yahoo.

  5. Auto Direct Incoming Email to Specific Folders

    You have taken away the feature to auto direct to a specific folder.. When I right click on a new message to set it up for auto direct I no longer get an option to name the folder. My choices are only PRIMARY, OFFERS, SOCIAL, NEWSLETTER. that's it. I can no longer direct emails without reading them to a specific folder. There's no add filter anymore.

  10. put a grid on the calendar

    I absolutely HATE the new calendar view/appearance and can't see how to change it. How can I go back to the old calendar view/appearance? At least darken the grid lines (put grid lines in) so the day square is defined and the whole month doesn't run together.

  14. l'idea c'è

    Cara YAHOO ho creato la mia mail nel lontano 1998. Con la limitazione dello spazio mail, mi avete costretto a eliminare tutte le mail che, di fatto, contenevano 38 anni di storia della mia vita. Immagino che sia così per tutti gli utenti yahoo.
    Non accetto di pagare perchè la richiesta fatta oggi appare come una forma di ricatto. Lo spazio mail è pieno di pubblicità che già vi consente di sostenere il sito. E se così non fosse un bravo manager dovrebbe trovare soluzioni alternative. Avrei qualche idea in merito. In ogni caso, manterrò la mia mail nei limiti…

  15. Allow me to manage my Emails...

    I use my cbstevek@yahoo.com mail as my primary Email. I also use cbstevek@hotmail.com as my junk Email. I generally will set up a new account to send to hotmail.com and then for ones that are important, I forward them to myself at yahoo where I have extensive rules and folders.

    I recently made a change to move my hotmail.com application out of my regular Email client and look at it either online or in the app. This seems to be working, except for the following problem (which pretty much breaks everything about what I want to do).

    I am getting…

  17. Better demarcation between days. They all bleed together.

    There needs to be break between emails from one day to other days. As an example, all of todays emails would just show the time, then a breaker that said Tuesday and list Tuesday's emails, then Monday and list them, etc... Go maybe two days and then a breaker for Last week, two weeks ago, over a month, etc...

  18. Setup Filter from email

    As I am cleaning my inbox it would be really useful to be able to setup a filter from the inbox or from the message content. Having an option here would be very useful. I am no having to have 2 sessions open so I can have the inbox in one window and the filter options in another.
    An example would be in Outlook. You can right click on the message and choose Rules and Create Rule.

  19. Ask if I want to save as a draft

    Why does EVERYTHING save as a draft no matter what? I have so many drafts that have nothing in them, or are obsolete, because I closed them, not wanting to send an email, but was never asked if I wanted to save it as a draft. That really needs to be a function. I click the X on a new email, it should ask if I want to save it as a draft or not.

  20. The Preview Email Header is HUGE and AWFUL

    I'll try this new Yahoo for a day or two, but if I don't hear back that the header is going to shrink, or be allowed to manually set the size, I'm going back to classic. It literally blocks most of the email preview (especially in bottom view). That awful header is a deal breaker for me.
