  1. Marking an email with the star

    I used to be able to star an email from the email list. Now I have to click on the email to star it. No Good.

  2. you screwed up deletions from inbox

    I used to be able to go down the list of email and shift select email in a row that I wanted to delete, move past emails I wanted to keep sop so on. Now all email are selected in the range at some point.

    I've managed my inbox this way for years and now I can't. IT SUCKS

  3. Bring Back My Calendar View IN the Inbox View

    Having the Calendar view accessible makes it easy to add appointments found within email exchanges. There's no need to remove it. No need to make someone click to a completely different window or tab to enter an appointment and bounce back and forth when the information i sin an email. Especially when this feature was readily available in the previous version.

  4. less clicks

    Hate the new format. mail now starts at primary. I have to click to all to see everything, more clicks. I was able to see all my yahoo mailboxes on the left now I have to logo in and out, more clicks. There is a big box asking me if i liked the mail i just got, more clicks. I've been on yahoo mail for longer then most people working on the sire. I've seen no improvements just more clicks and terrible ideas, I think its finally \time to move on from yahoo mail

  5. Email Locations

    I have 3 emails. I want all 3 emails at the top of the page. I DO NOT WANT an icon paper tray with only one email address! I should not have to scroll down and find the other 2 emails to check for mail. Why would you change that? This is stupid! More work, and it is not organised sufficiently. I need to see if I have emails from these 3 addresses in one place. I will miss them if I can't see them in one spot. CHANGE THIS IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!! If you have to have this stupid fancy inbox…

  6. Printing is broken in Microsoft Edge with the new Yahoo Mail version on desktop

    Printing is broken in Microsoft Edge with the new Yahoo Mail version on desktop. Text does NOT WRAP properly beyond the end of the line when scaling the print size beyond 100%. The site seems fix line breaks at 100% scaling keeps it there even when we scale beyond. This did not occur with the previous version of Yahoo Mail

  8. unsubscribe

    Stop with the unsubscribe button that keeps popping up as I scroll thru my messages. I'm not dumb. I can unsubscribe if I want. I don't need your stupid suggestion. I will unsubscribe when I want.

  12. Make the folders section instantly visible again.

    In the new design, I can't see the links to my folders unless I go into another folder. It used to be that my folders were all instantly visible and, if there were any unread messages in those folders, there would be a number next to the folder telling me how many unread messages there were. Now, the number is still there, but it's only visible if I specifically check the "folders" section.

    The folders section should be instantly visible. That way, if I get any mail from someone important, I'll instantly see it.

  14. you can improve it by making it simple like yahoo basic.

    Improve yahoo mail by making it simple to use, like you had before with basic yahoo mail, or even better yet bring back yahoo basic; simple to use, easy to figure out. You can do this, so why not listen to the people that matters, the users. I now have to leave yahoo mail and move to gmail, or outlook, and it breaks my heart as I've been a very loyal yahoo client for many years. Please let me use yahoo basic again. Please. hismusic101@yahoo.com

  16. Old; one box to click to check all new emails and then a box to mark as read. New; no way to check all the emails.

    Most of us aren't going to click each email box so we can mark as read, or trash etc. You need to put the Check all box right at the top. And then options to Mark as Read, Trash, Spam etc.

  20. 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.
