  2. Restore previous featue of deleting old emails by Sender alphabetically

    I am extremely frustrated that you have deleted your old style of deleting email by Sender listed alphabetically. Your new method is SO time consuming!! I receive so many emails from ads and companies and do not want to spend a crazy amount of time tping in each ad or company to a search box. PLEASE could you RESTORE your original feature of deleting old emails by Sender alphabetically? I have heard the same frustration from friends who also have yahoo email. Many people would greatly appreciate it. My email is jcmichener@yahoo.com. Thank you in advance!

  3. Please take the starred view off.

    Please take the starred view off. I have Yahoo Plus and pay a yearly fee. If there is a way to do it now, please let me know how. I like to see a full PC page of the beginning of the incoming emails. It makes it easier to judge if it's spam without opening it. Anything that is in the "starred" "Contacts" and "More" dropdown could be put in the 9 dots to the right of my profile picture for me to click on and go to what I need. I would much rather have the full space to…

  4. Malware posing as one of your Ads

    Clicked on a Ad in my inbox feed and it took me to a malware warning page, hijacked my computer. I knew better and did a hard reset. Someone is sending malware as ads! Come on guys! I made a screenshot....

  5. Issue with scrolling through emails in New Yahoo Mail

    Hi,
    As I scroll through the list of emails, it frequently will jump back to the email I have open. I'll often scan through the list of unread emails to see if anything is pertinent, and it will jump back, and I'll lose my place of where I was at, and have to either find my place or start over. It is very frustrating, and happens too frequently.

  6. Make layout changeable

    I don't need, nor do I want, the right-hand side bar. It does nothing but take up space and I should be able to put whatever I want on that side (new email box, starred messages (like now), calendar, reminders, or nothing and have emails spread across whole screen. I see you're trying tobe like gmail, but I can pick what I want with gmail.

  7. Spam/filtering

    Not an idea but a note. Spam filtering has gotten pretty bad lately. I've been getting a ton more **** emails in my inbox over the last few weeks.

    So i guess I do have an idea. It would be great if there was a filter option that allowed you to filter out emails that say they are from one sender but the email address in no way aligns with that name. Ie if I get an email that says it is from "AARP Membership Offer" but the email is "sunflower@ame-delivery.artmakingenuity.com", that is spam and I do not…

  10. STOP the random / unwanted automatic "jump to the top"

    Just recently my inbox has begun to have a mind of its own. When I scroll down to pick an email to read, while I'm reading that email the list of other emails on the left jumps back up to the top - which then requires me to scroll back down to where I was in order to pick up where I left off in selecting the emails I want to read right then. It's so annoying!!! Please make it stop!!!!

  12. Select all e-mail

    Please bring back the ability to select numerous emails at one time to delete. The select feature only allows you to choose one at a time. The feature you took away that allowed you to choose all emails on a given day was very useful.

  14. Please allow users to mark NOT SPAM and not continue dumping emails into spam

    Please allow users to mark NOT SPAM and not continue dumping emails into spam. I continue to mark emails as NOT SPAM, and new emails from this sender continue to end up in spam. These are work emails I don't get on a timely basis because they continue to get dumped in SPAM. Please fix this!

  15. Email alias

    I love the new interface along with All mailboxes in one view. Easy short cuts to delete emails and navigate through.

    One issue I saw - not sure if I'm not doing it right, I have couple of alias emails on my gmail workspace, I dont see a way to reply from the email alias I received the email to.

  16. New email jump

    I absolutely HATE that every time I get a new email, it moves me back to the top of the page!!! WTF yahoo, what is the point of that???? If I am trying to go through a backlog of emails, or for any other reason WANT TO REMAIN AT A CERTAIN POINT OR DATE, WHHHYYYYYYY make it jump just because I got another email??? It is THE WORST. Thinking of getting rid of Yahoo altogether, just for that but the other changes also pretty much suck also.

  17. 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!

  18. Search bar has moved down and blocking buttons within my inbox

    For whatever reason the search bar moves down into my inbox area. It is blocking some of the buttons and I'm having to restart my email to back to my inbox area.

  19. 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.
