  1. turn optional the rigth panel (favoreite, contacts, more)

    turning this part into a top line panel like "anchors" will provie a cleaner screen layout and makes the sugested layout more pratical moving away from standard layout (left + middle + right)

  3. Display previews of attachments beside email textbox

    When I click on attachments to preview them, they appear through overlay that has to be clicked out of instead of appearing beside the email message as it was in the old yahoo mail.

    Being able to view them beside my email message made cross-checking and referencing information from the attachments much easier instead of having to close and open the preview each time.

    This would also be a more efficient use of space on for desktop users who have ample horizontal display space for such a layout.

  4. New format for emails is awful

    What ever you changed on the email is dead set hurting my eyes.

    It is harder to find the logo in my tabs.
    It is harder to tell which emails are unread.
    it is harder to see fields to write an email.
    It is already impossible to read emails with multiple replies and is now even harder as everything is less defined making it harder to see what can be collapsed etc etc.

    PLEASE change it back

  5. Calendar changes make calendar more difficult to use.

    Suddenly, week and month displays are abbreviated into one line. I can't read an entry without clicking on it. The previous version of calendar with multi-line readable entries was so easy to use. The new version with ugly colors has just been such a mess.

  6. Please go back to the old Yahoo calendar!

    This new calendar is awful! The tags all show as little dots of the same color instead of the tags I use to color-code my family's activities. The tags are now useless.

    I like to view the whole month at a time. With the last change, it always defaulted to the week view, which was annoying. Now it is back to the month view as default, but it does not show everything that is on each day without having to click a button to see the additional items. I need to be able to see all items on my month-view…

  7. Priority

    When all mail tab is selected the Priority label on all the Priority mail covers part of the subject line in the list of mail, a smaller circle with just a P in in it I believe would be better to not interfere with reading the subject titles.

    Not real important but it does look sloppy.

    Thanks - Paul

  9. Yahoo Email display window layout

    The Yahoo email display doesn't make good use of the display area. Files, folders, contacts and calendars etc... all need to be hidden but pop-out displays and allow the user to utilise the email lists and the window of the contents of the email usefully. ie. email lists + a window for a selected email's contents.

  10. Collapsable Side Bar

    Please make the Starred/Contacts/Calendar/Notepad area a sidebar that can be collapsed. The current implementation takes up too much valuable space in the browser window.

  12. Allow to create small mailing list groups

    It would be super helpful to create a group, like "Summer Vacation" or "coworkers" or "in-laws" and then add people to that group so later when I want to send an email (e.g. forward a photo from my phone I just took) to that group, I do not have to first save the photo, then look for the latest email to find the thread, then add the photo & send it, or manually add every recepient all over again, hoping that nobody is left out. It's such a simple thing, I don't understand why it is not yet possible... It's…

  13. Restore the ability to move folders that have sub-folders

    I organise my holidays in folders. Each holiday has sub folders for flights\hotels etc. Once the holiday is done I want to move the whole folder to "Past Trips". I used to be able to do this but no longer can.

    Here's what I have to do.
    Create a new folder in past trips with a dummy name.
    Move each subfolder in the current trip to the new dummy folder.
    Move any mails in the main current trip folder to the new dummy folder.
    Delete the original folder.
    Rename the dummy folder the the name of the trip.

    I used…

  14. Microsoft Teams invites

    You had this feature before, but now I can no longer accept invites from Micorsoft Teams in my email. I have my email linked to my google calendar so the solution to add invites to my yahoo mail are useless. This would be one of the biggest reasons I may have to stop using yahoo if you guys can't fix this.

  16. Update "More on Yahoo" menu in Calendar to match the one in Mail

    Please update the "More on Yahoo" menu in the new version of Calendar to include icons next to the text (News, Finance, Sports, etc.), so that it matches the "More on Yahoo" menu that can be found when viewing messages in the new Yahoo Mail.

  17. 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.

  18. Adding email address to contacts

    I've tried, unsuccessfully, to add email addresses to my contacts I couldn't get them to SAVE, because I never saw a SAVE BUTTON. . It must be operator error, but I am wondering if this is a glitch in the new system and others are having the same difficulty?

  20. Fix the "recent emoticon" option.

    When I want to select an emoticon, the recent ones are not available. I have to type into the search to find the icons that I usually use. Why is the clock indicating "recent" not working?
    I did an experiment. I searched for two icons and saw the "recents" until I closed the icon selection box. When I opened it a second later, the recents were forgotten.
