  1. Complaint About Excessive Ads in Cox/Yahoo Email Service

    Hello,

    I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the current advertising experience in the Cox.net email service now managed by Yahoo.

    The amount of ads displayed throughout the email interface has become extremely frustrating and distracting. It negatively affects the usability of the service and makes the experience feel cluttered and unpleasant.

    What is especially disappointing is that other major email providers such as Gmail and Outlook offer much cleaner, less intrusive experiences. Users should not feel overwhelmed by advertisements simply to access their email accounts.

    My Cox.net email address is still active, but due to the excessive advertising,…

  2. improve mail writing formatting options

    The limited formatting options here, are leaving my messages looking completely unprofessional. Like someone who doesn't know how to use a computer. Even copy pasting doesn't work as expected.

    And what is it with not being able to resize pasted images?

  3. Update subject changes in conversation view

    In conversation view, it does not show when the subject line is changed in the conversation. This is important information to show! Maybe the most important!

  4. Make less vertical space between messages in inbox list

    The classic mail showed approx 30% more messages in one screen of the list. The new mail is wasteful of space.

  6. keep the right hand pane closed or make a setting to hide it

    it wastes space. When I click the right arrows to minimize it, it reappears next time I login.
    It would be nice to not have it.
    Thanks

  7. Get rid of Primary and let me decide what is important

    Please let my email open to "all" and not "primary". Let me decide what is important. At least give that as an option.

  14. Notify users of changes

    This morning I went to Primary inbox to find changes. Changes I was not aware that were going to happen. I personally do not like the changes to the Primary inbox. Not a good look. Hard to find what I was looking for. Other major email service companies such as Google gives you notifications of changes. That would be nice if Yahoo could do the same.

  17. collapse right-side panel

    I'd love to be able to collapse the right-side panel (contacts/starred) so that I have more screen real-estate for the body of the email (which is my focus/priority when checking my emails). For those of us who navigate the web on smaller screens, or who utilize a vertical tabbed view on our browser, the right panel doesn't provide a lot of value when it causes the main email window to shrink so small...
