  2. Yahoo mail layout

    ubject: Please Restore the Original Yahoo Mail Layout

    Message:

    The new Yahoo Mail layout is confusing and requires too many steps to do simple tasks. The previous version was much easier to use, especially for accessing contacts and composing emails. Please give users the option to switch back to the original layout or restore the old interface. The new design has made everyday email tasks slower and more frustrating. Thank you for listening.

  3. Let me delete all emails within a specified date range.

    It's truly upsetting that I can't select a date range of emails to delete in one .command. I have over 68,000 emails and most are over three years old. I have backed them up, so that doesn't concern me. You force me to scroll down over and over and over and over again to select just 1,000 emails to delete. That's pathetic. I should be able to enter "before 20220101", see all the emails, and then delete them all with one delete command. FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY! I've seen several comments about this all over the Internet about this. People are…

  7. the new UI for yahoo email is s basic and hard to read. CLassic mail even with ads is easier to use and better organized

    Yahoo mail seems to default to another category instead of seeing all. The starred email column on the right is very distracting. Go back to the classic look. it is so much better or make it more similar. I would pay for that version. I hate the new UI in yahoo email

  8. Android app swallowed really important email, then the whole thread

    I've been desperately trying to reply to an important email, last of a thread counting 5 messages. At first I thought I missed something and forgot to send my reply, that's why my email is in the Drafts folder. So I've modified it with what changed in the meantime, and resent it. A few days later, when I came back to check the status, it once again was in the Drafts folder, and showing as a draft in the sent folder. So I've once again modified the contents a bit and tried to send it, a 3rd time. This time…

  13. At least allow users the ability to revert back to the previous version.

    I would like the opportunity to be able to revert back to the old or basic layout of Yahoo which displayed my folders next to my inbox allowing me to drag emails directly into a folder. I did not ask for this new layout and am finding it frustrating. I was told I could revert back by clicking on “More Options” but there is still no mention of being able to revert back under that. Although I know that various systems are always being updated which is understandable, users of Yahoo should at least be given the choice as to…

  16. Fix "unread" because it doesnt ******* work

    If I look in the "inbox" I can see recently received emails that are unread dated 21st may but if I select the "UNREAD" folder there are no unread emails received since the 18th.

    It doesn't matter how many times I switch between the inbox and unread folder it just doesnt show them.

    I have dozens of different folders and mail is directed to folders using the filters so when your "unread" selection doesnt work I can easily miss a critically important email.

    You don't allow us to contact support, you have reduced the storage quota to a fraction of…

  17. Dissatisfied

    I want my old look back now! I was not even given an option. I have been a LONG time user. Change it back so I can clearly read my messages. This is NOT reader friendly at all. I guess it's time for gmail.

  19. What happened to Preferences to sort by date on Sent items?

    Every other folder has a preferences option, where I can change the sort by date from oldest to newest. It no longer exists in Sent items. What happened? Please restore this capability.;
