Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.

  2. I no longer can "search" for a keyword.

    I no longer can "search" for a keyword. The only field available is "subject". This field was especially helpful when I can't remember the subject line. Please fix.

  8. E-Mail Format

    I find the new yahoo format very confusing. I would like to have the old classic format to be available to all users. It is quite disturbing that this format is not available.

  13. can we change the colors of the email headers

    The color of purple is a little harsh on my eyes. Can you make it so that email users can change the color of the email headers?

  14. Exporting Yahoo Mail

    The way things are "evolving" with Yahoo Mail and features, I would not be surprised if we receive notificiation in the not-so-distant future that Yahoo Mail will be going away or that it will be FURTHER downsized to an incredibly low and impractical size or users will need to pay big bucks to kee it.

    It seems to me Yahoo is tone-deaf to the needs and wants of its user base vs beta testers. So I'd like to start transitioning to another email provider with an effortless way to export all my mail.

  16. Hard to move emails into folders

    Am I missing something? It's hard to move emails into my folder categories in the new Yahoo email experience because I can't expand the folder pane on the left to easily drag an email into the appropriate sub folder. I can select an email, click on Move, and type the folder name. However, it only lets me move one email at a time. This is a significant hinderance to may ability to navigate the interface quickly. Can you 1) allow expansion of the Folders pane on the left to show sub folders? and 2) allow me to move multiple selected…

  19. Help only available for subscribers is wrong

    Help should be available to all. I have used Yahoo mail almost since it was created but I can't get help is wrong and unprofessional.

    Stop changing the look of Yahoo Mail. This new look is bad and makes me want to stop using it for my primary email.
