  3. Resize Images Within Emails

    When adding an image in an email in the new yahoo email, you cannot resize the image. You could do this in the Classic Email when you added an in-message image. I believe there you could make it small/med/large. New Email does not seem to allow any resizing. Please add this feature.

  4. Images continue to show despite changing setting, this is unsafe

    I want to use the new Yahoo mail but it feels unsafe to do so until the images are truly blocked. They are still there for me. But when I switch to the older version they are gone.

  6. double click on name in address field

    In the previous version, I could double click on a name in address field to display the email address and allow copying. Now it doesn't allow that. It shows the persons address but there's not a way to copy & paste it.

  9. unable to move emails from sub folder to inbox

    i can move emails from inbox to a subfolder, but if i make a mistake i cannot move from a subfolder to inbox. drag and drop doesn't work nor does ticking the checkbox and clicking on 'move to inbox'. it doesn't work in standard or basic yahoo versions.
    This includes the spam folder which now has some emails incorrectly put there by yahoo's filters from my bank that i cannot move back to the inbox.

  13. Send Button in Long Thread

    In the new email, if I'm in a long thread, I have to scroll way way down to get to the SEND button. Can't you put it on the top? THAT would be an improvement.

  14. Keyboard Shortcuts

    Allow pressing delete key to delete checked emails. This is always how I used to delete emails before. I know it's not a huge deal to have to click the trash icon, but I can work faster on my keyboard and this shortcut was nice.

  16. Inbox Categories Options

    In playing with my email settings (and realizing I definitely prefer having the inbox categories disabled), I've realized that the option to presort/filter my mail with a quick button click is actually really handy. Here are some ideas for tweaking it to make it more user-specific.

    1. Please please please, let me set which filter I want as my default and/or allow the option to just go back to the last used filter. I hate that it keeps going back to the 'priority' filter.

    2. It would be nice to be able to select which filters I want being used. I don't…

  19. Coming Soon: Default to "ALL" Instead of "Priority"

    I will often let Offers and Newsletters pile up for a while, then go through them all in one go. But, annoyingly, if I open a message from, say, the Newsletters view, then move the message to a folder, I get put back into Priority view - argh! It should return to the most recent view I was using (Newsletters).

  20. The "Drafts" icon no longer shows the number of active drafts

    In the old version I was able to see how many drafts were currently in the Drafts folder.

    This is no longer possible for some reason
