Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.

  1. Yahoo email page squished together

    I am having frustrations with the new Yahoo email. Frequently (80% of the time), the page is squished together with the header overlapping with clickable features. This also happens when composing an email. Often, after composing the email, I am unable to scroll down to the Send button or Bold, Italic, Underline. This has resulted in countless and endless copy/pasting, refreshing page, and starting from scratch. I am also noticing that when I go back into my emails to find info or attachments, they are often completely missing as if they never existed. Loving the new look/features, but these things…

  3. external images

    Even though I have external images disabled in my settings, webmail (I'm using Firefox) is displaying those images anyway, with a message saying that they are shown by default, along with a link to the the settings. I've tried changing the setting back and forth just in case, and it still doesn't work.

    This has only started happening with the recent site redesign.

  4. Sender identification

    You took away the sender field from the email. It's the easiest, best way to determine quickly identify the sender as a fraud or not. Put the sender id back!!!

  7. folder expansion/contraction idea

    Dragging Emails to Folders and Sub-folders. It would be a nice enhancement to require hovering over a folder before the sub-folders underneath it are expanded. Since expansion is more or less immediate, it just requires another action on my part to contract those to make for a "clean" non-expanded folder list. Also, hovering over a folder with sub-folders before it's expanded would alleviate "accidental/unintended" expansion while moving your cursor around and briefly selecting a folder of non-interest.

  8. starred/contacts/more box layout/view setting idea

    Minimizing the Starred/contacts/more Box in view/layout setting: SInce I am a Yahoo Plus customer, I can contract the expanded starred/contacts/more box when I initially open desktop Yahoo mail. It would be nice to the able to save that layout/view in settings instead of having to do that every time.

  9. New Desktop Yahoo Mail intermittently freezes using EDGE, Chrome or FireFox browsers.

    Slow Loading or Freezing Pages. I've tried using EDGE, Chrome and Firefox desktop browsers. All 3 experience intermittently freezes--requires refreshing web page: This same problem has occurred ever since I was migrated to the new Yahoo desktop mail (5-6 weeks ago) I assume that any or all 3 browsers are supported, and the fact that all 3 are having this intermittent issue, doesn't point to having to clear browser cache (and yes, I tried doing that early on). It only happens after moving or deleting emails and it's intermittent, but frequentl. Sometimes it resolves after 30+ seconds and other times…

  10. PUT TABS BACK FOR OPEN MAIL -it's a product differentiator

    The BEST element of Yahoo mail is that the open mails are in tabs across the top. This is what has kept me from going to gmail. It made yahoomail stand apart -did you have gmail (or a consultant/team lead that used to work for google) design the change??

  13. Compact view, read/unread toggle icon, search icon

    Previously, sapcing between messages was compact that allowed more emails to be seen on one screen. This has disappeared. Read/unread toggle icon was available on the left of each message which was useful. Search icon was available on the left of each message that allowed to search all messages from that sender in one click. These features should be reinstated.

  16. Move Row of Symbols (Delete, Move to another folder) in Inbox main menu

    The row of symbols that the delete button and the move to another folder are on, is covered by the search bar when one is on the main inbox page. If I have multiple emails ticked for deleting it is hard to access the delete symbol because most of the symbol is covered by the search bar. This is annoying because it takes extra time to find and delete a large number of items all at once. Can this bar of symbols (delete, move to another folder) be moved away from the search bar when in the main inbox menu…

  17. finding emails from a sender

    Make finding emails from a sender easy instead of typing on the search box -- right-clicking on the message should be the default. And bring back as an option the old feature to group/sort emails according to receipt date (Today, Yesterday, Last Week, etc.) This is helpful in organizing emails, at least for me.

  20. Spam messages multiple times per day.

    You need to prohibit any email starting with symbols, etc. which are all spam. This happens multiple time per day. It does not happen on other email sites so it is definitely a problem with what Yahoo allows. I am sure others are receiving the same ****. These spammers use symbols and key strokes like ++ -- @@ etc.
