  1. Make Trash and Spam Folders More Accessible

    why make things harder to access? there's plenty of room in the left menu bar for those to be openly accessible.

  2. Add an option to turn off AI summaries.

    It might be useful for people with robust business-style accounts, but most of my messages are already short, or they're notifications. It makes the "summaries" redundant and obnoxious.

  3. See Number of Unread Emails

    I have no overview of how many emails are in my Inbox. Very annoying. Please show that again.

  4. Make "Unread" a visible menu option, more accessible

    Make "Unread" a visible menu option, without having to click into a submenu. Ideally, allow customization of the default menu options that are visible.

  5. Can no longer forward an email and make edits without losing links in body of email

    The new version does not allow me to forward an email and make edits. I can only copy/paste, which loses the links. The old version allowed for forwarding with links remaining and the ability to edit (like filling in data needing to be forwarded). Can this functionality be returned please?

  6. Reply/Forward Arrows to emails do not show in the Inbox

    In the old version, if I replied to an email my reply would show up as the message preview.

    It no longer does that, so at a glance I cannot see if I replied to an email or not until I open it

    Please fix

  8. Search results list should show folder

    In the old version, when you searched for a phrase or sender, and a results list was displayed, one of the columns in the results list was "folder", so you could see if the listed email was in "Inbox" or one of your other folders. I found that very helpful. It's no longer there. Once again, good functionality lost or forgotten for no apparent reason.

  9. How to Keep Folders Expanded? Here's How:

    I read all of the responses about the expanded folders. It is not functioning the way you described it. How do we keep the folders expanded even while going through emails, etc. I need them to stay expanded! All of the time!

  11. ABILITY TO MOVE SENT EMAILS TO INBOX

    Please let people be able to move items from their sent folder to their inbox! Used to be able to (while on a laptop; never was able to in the app). I just had to send a sent email to myself, so that I was able to have it in my inbox while waiting for a reply. That's ludicrous!

  12. Use up and down arrow keys for scrolling

    While I like the new UI, its very annoying aspect is that up and down keyboard keys have been hijacked for "previous" and "next" message navigation. Those keys are normally used for scrolling long messages everywhere else. Without a mouse wheel, the only alternatives are crude PageUp/PageDown or trying to tap the narrow scrollbar.

    Please assign some different keys for message navigation, such as Ctrl+Up/Down.

  13. no send button

    I use a chromebook and it has numerous problems with the new email. For one, when I try to forward an email, there is no "send" button. I may just leave yahoo for another service.

  14. EMAIL PRINT BUTTON

    THE EMAIL PRINT BUTTON IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. YOU HAVE TO SELECT THE 3 DOTS, PRINT BUTTON, AND ALL THAT SHOWS UP IS THE HEADDER OF THE EMAIL AND NOT THE SUBJECT OF THE EMAIL. IN ORDER TO PRINT THE ENTIRE EMAIL, YOU HAVE TO HIT CANCEL AND THEN PRINT AGAIN. THIS IS CRAZY AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SELECT 5 DIFFERENT THINGS IN ORDER TO PRINT ONE DOCUMENT.

  15. Option to view the assigned folder for a message when searching

    When I'm searching through all the messages in my email (usually trying to sort and filter certain messages to place them in their appropriate folders), I desperately miss having the current assigned folder show on the quick view. It is a really quick way of knowing whether or not all of the messages were moved to the requested folder and also if I inadvertently put a message in the wrong folder.

  16. Delete e-mail

    With the new UI I think the pop-up that says "Message Deleted" appears right on top of the Delete button. I typically delete my e-mails in preview mode which I don't see as an option in the new UI which allows me to see the e-mail briefly and then click the Delete button in most cases. Now I have to open the e-mail click Delete, then wait for the pop-up to disappear or manually close it, before I can delete the next e-mail. If you just move that pop-up off to the right of the toolbar then I would be…

  17. Display folders on the side bar

    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.

  19. 'Schedule Send' and 'Undo Send' across all platforms

    I’ve noticed that the Yahoo Android mail app includes the “schedule send” and “undo send” options, which are handy features I regularly rely on. However, these options aren’t currently available when using Yahoo Mail on a web browser. Since these features greatly enhance the user experience and help set Yahoo Mail apart, it would be fantastic to see them implemented consistently across all platforms. Since the backend already supports these functionalities, extending them across all platforms seems like a great addition. Would you consider adding this to your future updates?

  20. Account switcher broken

    The new account switcher (in the upper right) is seriously broken - it only shows 3 accounts after I click on "Add or switch accounts", when I have 4 active accounts. Worse, it doesn't show the most recently used account. For example, I recently switched from account A to account B. Now, when I select "Add or switch accounts", it shows me accounts B, C, and D. There's no way for me to get back to account A!!! Seriously broken. Also, why the extra click on "Add or switch accounts"? - This is an extra, unnecessary step. I switch accounts…
