  1. Deleting more that 100 emails

    I tried to delete 250K email from my archive folder. I see that every time I seleted 100 emails, it allowed me to select all the emails in the folder; However, when I hit delete all, it did not delete anything. Even though, it seems like it delete via the progression bar 100%. - None of the emails were deleted. Can someone instruct me to delete empty a folder or delete more than 100 emails at one time? Thanks

  2. New email indication

    Another issue I have spotted. Indication of new mail in other folders or the inbox is not as robust as the prior application design. After going to my spam folder and leaving that folder open in anticipation of viewing incoming spam for a few days, new mail landing in other folders have no indicators or numbers. This used to be a blue dot beside the folders in the older design ...

    I do not know about large sidebar but on the icon only sidebar, if I am in my spam folder for a day or two and a few new…

  4. Allow configuration of number of emails displayed when viewing INBOX and slightly increase the viewing window for preview

    The new layout has extremely small windows to view the inbox and preview. This is due to distinct space created between each viewing boxes and then filling with adverstisements. Either thin the gaps or allow to configure viewing font size in inbox.

  5. I need to search mail by keyword not title

    Please go back to the old Yahoo Mail. This new one won't let me search mail by keyword. Searching in the title isn't as good as searching by keyword.

  6. Stop marking automated emails from Indeed as spam

    Twice now i've stopped receiving automated emails from Indeed (alerting me to potential jobs) because yahoo has apparently marked them as spam. They never showed up in my spam folder and i never manually marked them as spam, but Indeed claims that my provider (you) must have marked them as spam - so my address got blocked and they stopped sending them. Who know how many opportunities i missed!

    Anyway, they've unblocked me - so i will add the addresses to my contact list once i start receiving them again - - - assuming you don't mark them as spam…

  7. Contacts and sending email addresses

    The very first contact in my contact list cannot be found by search! Nor can several others. Indexing problem? Also when I click contacts why don't they appear in the send. cc, bcc box?

    When I hover over a sender (in read or compose mode) I want to be able to right click copy their address. I often need it for other, legitimate, purposes like creating a website ID or distribution list elsewhere.

  8. Allow ability AGAIN to select all messages

    In the old version, I can select all messages and de-select the ones I don't want to delete. then select delete and it wipes away all the messages I don't want. I like my inbox clean so I did this often. It's important enough for me that I will either go back to the old version or slowed get rid of Yahoo mail.

  9. offer possibility of addingcolours to the folders

    when creating folders they just appear as names and all the same, ideal to be able to colour them to browse quicker and highlight accorging to them or importance.

  11. Contacts

    Selected contact DOES NOT open a screen large enough to see all information on desktop at 100% view.
    I must reduce my view to 75% to see all the contact information.

    Selected contact should open in a pop-up window WITHOUT REDUCING SCREEN to see details.

  12. Stop bundling emails

    Recently, emails have been "bundled" for those Yahoo deems as rarely interacted with. This is annoying and I didn't turn this feature on. I have tried to find a setting to turn this off but haven't been able to. Please turn this off or at least post how this can be done by the user.

  13. Base64 mails

    I've recieved some mails with base64 content, but these are not displayed. Yahoo shows an empty mail. In the inbox I can see a short message of the first line, but the message itself is empty. I now have copyed the <original message> and put the content in a base64 decoder, paste this content in an html-file to read this in my browser. Not how it is supposed to work!!

  14. provide ability to delete "Events from Mail" calendar, improved training, and improved notification

    I spent +3 hours between Yahoo and Apple customer service. I recently noticed a new calendar named "sys-ext-events$ on all of my Apple devices. Not knowing what this is, I tried to delete but it kept coming back. I thought my devices were infected, putting my personal files at risk. Apple said it was a Yahoo issue and Yahoo said it was an Apple issue. Apple eventually directed me to calendar.yahoo.com where I was able to see my calendars. There is one listed as "Events from Mail." I tried to delete but cannot. It was confirmed by your representative that…

  17. spam mail

    I get an awful amount of sex spam mail. There should be a way to stop this before even coming into my account. I have not visited any **** sites nor actively sought such emails. It is very frustrating not to be able to prevent these types of mails coming in, blocking does not help since the sender emails keep changing.

  18. Make tech support work

    My Yahoo Mail suddenly stopped receiving emails. I have checked multiple devices, including mobile and web versions. I have tried logging out and reinstalling apps. Nothing works.

    I also tried calling support. I get to the point of getting a text code, but no text ever arrives. When I try to do support chat, the chat never starts and it loops me back tot the create chat form.
