  1. Mail settings

    I have a lot of folders and have to scroll down below them to find the MORE link to get to email settings. Since I use it rarely, I forget where it is and have to search all over the screen looking for it. Move MORE to the top of the screen as one of the links already there like y!mail+, HOME, or account avatar.

    Hi Richard, thanks for the feedback! We currently have no plans in moving Settings or More to a different location. These options were placed near the bottom because they were hardly if ever used in the old version. Sorry about that!

    The best way to get rid of spam is to mark as spam, not delete or block! This helps with your spam filters and does exactly what blocking does, prevents that email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam! It is free and part of regular Yahoo Mail. Thanks!

  3. Email Folders Always Show in a List

    I would like to be able to have all items in the "Folder" show in a list below the "Folder"

  5. MAILBOX FULL AND STILL FULL AFTER DELETING 70000 EMAILS

    I cannot free up space on my mailbox, although I deleted about 70,000 emails. It's been more than a week, and you are LOCKING MY EMAIL WHILE THIS EMAIL IS REGEISTERED FOR THE FRENCH TAX DEPARTMENT. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE.

    Hi there, thanks for the feedback. This is mentioned in our email communication to you and in the help articles, but after deleting emails you still need to empty out your Trash folder. Once you do that, and even your Spam folder, your storage number percentage will decrease. Thanks!

  7. Add a button

    I would like to see a button added that would lock in an email on my email home page so that I could keep it with my recent emails in plain sight and avoid deleting it by mistake. This is different than putting that email in a specific folder. Sometimes, I would just to see an important email in plain sight every time I open up my email page.

  10. Change shortcut keys for delete

    I really like using shortcut keys in yahoo mail but it's not perfect. My biggest issue is the use of backspace to delete mail. I often accidentally delete mail while I am typing because of this.

  11. Ads are atrocious

    There are ads within my email list, on the side of the page, on top. It's awful. I have moved on to Gmail and iCloud.

    Yes we do have ads today on our platform. We know not everyone will enjoy the ads, so we do offer an ad-free experience (like many apps today) if you upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus, but of course it's not mandatory. Thanks!

    You can delete all from your Inbox. Just click on a checkbox and a new checkbox will appear at the top. From there you can Select All and then Delete All. At first it might seem like you can do a few at a time, but a floating message will pop up in the middle asking if you'd like to delete all the messages. It can be done! Thanks!

  13. Let us read our emails

    Wow, this is horrible. All I can see if adverts moving everywhere I actually got motion sickness trying to read my emails. I could only read one line at a time as your screen is filled with so much rubbish. The flickering motion of the adverts will give me an epileptic seizure.

    Hi there, thank you for your feedback. Are you referring to the ads on our Desktop? We only have a pencil ad at the top of your Inbox, another one as you scroll down and then the two ads in the right hand column. Are you seeing more? If so, where? You shouldn't see any while you read your email, only the ads that stay put in the right hand column. Thanks!

  14. High Importance

    There needs to be an option to send an email as High Importance. This feature is very helpful when sending an email or a response to someone's email so they see its urgent.

    Thanks

    Hi Laura, thanks for your feedback. We are working on adding a way for you to say a certain email or sender is Priority, so stay tuned. For now, you can move an email to a certain category. For example, if an impt email goes to the "offers" category, you can move it to "Primary."

  15. Still cannot find contacts in my contacts!

    I search for 'Peter' but it does not find peterdyounng

    I search Higgins and it find him and suggests peterdyoung and allows me to 'update' his email and add to contacts but still cant find him on his own.

    I search contacts, find the target, click the email address and it goes into the To: box. Search and find second address, select email address does not go into To: box but searches for all emails from that person instead! Inconsistent behaviour!

    Hi Andrew, thanks for your feedback. You can actually see all your Starred emails in two places:

    1. In the left hand column. You'll see Inbox, Unread and then Starred.
    2. In the right hand column, above the ads, you can see Starred, Contacts, More.

    Hope this helps!

    Yesterday I could sort the mail. Today I can't. Where did you hide that option.

    Not sure we're following? We haven't moved the icon/button to sort your emails. When looking at your Inbox, the sort icon is in the top, right hand side. From there you can sort your emails. If you want more sorting options, you'll need to disable Conversation view under your Settings.

  19. PLEASE BRING BACK 4 THINGS

    PLEASE BRING BACK 4 THINGS:

    1. THEMES / BACKGROUND COLOR OPTIONS

    2. STAR MAIL ON THE LEFT SIDE AGAIN (NOW IT IS ON RIGHT AND KEEPS DISAPPEARING)

    3. MARK AS READ/UNREAD MAIL SHORTCUT ON THE LEFT SIDE AGAIN (NOW IT IS ON RIGHT AND KEEPS DISAPPEARING)

    4. THE TRASH ICON TO DELETE MAIL ON THE RIGHT KEEPS DISAPPEARING HAVE TO HOVER OVER FOR IT TO APPEAR. PLEASE LET IT BE VISBLE AT ALL TIMES LIKE BEFORE

    1. We have no plans in adding more themes or backgrounds. We had this before and it has very very low usage, and high upkeep. We no longer support it because not a enough users were using it. Sorry!
    2. It does not disappear, it simply shows when you're hovering with your mouse. We currently have no plans in moving the "Star."
    3. Unread is in the left hand navigation, under Inbox and before Starred.
    4. This is by design, all the icons to the right of the email is meant to show up when hovering, and when not hovering, it goes away so that the Inbox is less cluttered.

    Thanks!

  20. Turn off shortcuts in website version

    Make it possible to disable keyboard shortcuts in the website version. Sometimes when I am writing an email all of a sudden shortcut mode kicks in and 10 commands have been executed with emails deleted etc. If people want to use shortcuts fine, but please provide an option to turn it off for normal users
