  3. Move Spam and Trash above Folders. Now, Spam and Trash are virtually inaccessible if you keep your Folders expanded

    I saw you currently have a hint about keeping all folders expanded and this is really important. However, this is unusable right now. When Folders are expanded, it becomes a nightmare to access the Spam folder and since your filters do not work (no matter what tricks you try to make them work), easily checking the Spam folder is a must. If you expand Folders though, access to the Spam folder (and Trash as well) becomes quite hard, especially when you have a lot of folders like me. Please, move Spam (and Trash) above Folders (ideally in the section with…

  4. Emails Drafts being deleted

    Email drafts are being deleted when the "delete" button is accidently clicked when typing in the subject of the email. This is extremely frustrating as I always have to restart my email. I have lost work multiple times in the last week because of this. Please look into this issue, otherwise I might need to switch my main email address to Gmail.

  5. Calendar Scheduling

    Whenever I click on the date, I want to schedule an event, the date is off by at least a day. Even when I amend the date and save the event is off by a day. So I have to end up dragging the event to the correct day. It's a BIG hassle to say the least. Please rectify this buy at your earliest convenience. Thanks in advance !!!

  6. Fix the Calendar!!!

    When I choose a day to add an event-it opens using the current day-not the day I chose. It also does this when I use the dropdown menu for adding an event or task. This is very frustrating & inconvenient; especially after years of choosing a day & have that day screen open.

  7. Renaming Folders

    When trying to rename a folder, it greys out the existing name and if you just want to add to the existing name you have to retype the entire thing. For example, if the original name is 2025-03-18 and you want to change it to 2025-03-18 $1485.00 you can't just add $1485.00 at the end - you have to retype what it was called first. Very time consuming.

    It is also cumbersome to have to hit the update button once finished typing the name change.

  8. Tabs are hard to close now.

    The new "tabs" are ****. You have to hover in just the right spot to get the X to close it, and then it sometimes disappears before you can click it and you have to try the hover move again.

  10. 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.

  15. Calendar in the right panel

    In the new version you have starred and contacts on the right side to easily see this information without leaving mail. It would be nice to have calendar there as well to see and make small changes/additions without leaving your email to go to the calendar website. The old version was like this.

  16. Message cannot be saved as draft.

    Using Yahoo! to access my AOL email account, I often encounter an error when drafting an email with an attachment. It can be PDF, JPEG, etc. File size is often less than 1 or 2MB. Most recently, my .jpeg file was 232KB. It attaches a broken file and returns an error saying "Message cannot be saved as draft." It also fails to send. Please fix!

  17. Storage plans confusing

    I got a strange email from Yahoo - it says I have 200GB of storage under the new plans (I subscribe to Mail Plus mobile-only). It also says I am over my quota and need to pay for more storage. But when I check my usage using the newfangled tool, it's only 24.9GB. Am I over quota or not?

  19. FOLDERS

    I would prefer if the folders section was always visible on the left sidebar. Currently, having to click "Folders" and then select a specific folder adds unnecessary steps to the workflow. Ideally, the folders should be displayed by default for quick access.

  20. reply to

    What the **** ever happened to the arrow showing that I've replied to a message? Why is it gone? Is there a setting so I can put it back. So irritating!! And why am I still seeing the search field for suggested improvements right here when it doesn't work? Who's doing your coding these days? How many customers have you lost with the New Mail? Why am I getting a message that my idea is being processed and will appear shortly? WHERE will it appear? You took away the list? If you can't even get this right, what else are…
