  1. Compact view of emails

    I previously commented that the grey background for "read emails" was distracting and unnecessary. Gmail does the same thing, but I have never noticed. The reason for this is that I have it set on "compact" display so the line for each email is narrower. Please allow the user to set a compact view.

  2. Excessive scroll bars

    I have three scroll bars on the right side of my screen when I'm replying to a message. That seems excessive. Also, the "send" button and the rest of the icons "attach" "emoji" "bold" etc. are cut in half until I scroll down with the outermost scroll bar. The only thing it adjusts is the white space just above the subject line. I'm on a 14" laptop, so it isn't like I'm on a tiny screen.

  3. The More options icon should be more easily accessible

    This option is currently shown after the list of folders. I keep my Folders expanded, so it took me a while to realize this, after scrolling to the end of my many folders. For example, move it into the section with Trash/Spam/Archive.

  4. import csv contacts

    Provide a way to import contacts from Apple contacts or at least a csv file. There is no option for either, only "Connect" to other mail account contacts.

  5. show me my current account name on all mail pages

    I tried the "new" mail layout and found one feature positively missing. I have multiple yahoo email accounts. The new layout absolutely did not display the current account name that I am using. There is no security issue showing me something I had to type into your form just to login. Please ensure the current account name is prominently visible on all mail pages.

  6. Yahoo Need to Post the latest, most recent email on Top when opening the email

    1) Yahoo has failed to show the latest, most recent email on Top when opening the email. This is annoying when there is more than one email in string.

    2) Also, it is painful to go back to see the attachment after responding to original email which has the attachments.

    3)Yahoo needs to take it seriously to support their customers who pay for the email service.

    I'm not sure if it's just me, but I haven't gotten any emails for the last two days. I haven't made changes to my account, so I'm not sure what's going on.

  9. Search box

    It should have just a standard search box, with search by attachment or search by name or search by date you know basic stuff. I hate it when improvements are not actually improvements. Searching by hoovering over someone's name is only helpful if I can actually find the stupid email first. If you have a search box like this it's **** hard to find, I still don't see it so that's no good either.

  11. Messages go to spam in spite of marking them as Safe Hundreds of Times or even if Contact exists in Address Book

    The whole idea of Whitelist is missing in Yahoo Mail. In spite of adding a contact email address in the address book or in spite of marking the message as Safe or Not Spam hundreds and hundreds of times, Yahoo still sends messages to Spam.

    The Spam NEEDS TO IMPROVE AT THE EARLIEST TO HONOUR THE ADDRESS BOOK AND NOT SPAM OR SAFE actions.

  12. Executing Filters In An Ad-hoc Manner On Existing Messages And Folders

    Currently, it is NOT possible to run filters in ad-hoc manner on specified set of folders or on existing messages. This is a a basic basic basic feature of an email that for some reason Yahoo does NOT have from beginning.

    IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO RUN THE FILTERS IN AN AD-HOC MANNER ON EXISTING MESSAGES.

  15. Fix Mail Plus to show all Folders, not based on the email clicked on

    Mail Plus display of Folders in the left column is flaky.
    The Folders displayed depend on what email is selected to display.
    Sometimes all folders are not displayed, only a subset. This also impacts which folder the email that is displayed can be moved to. So most likely the folder you want to move an email to is not displayed.
    THIS MAKES THE FOLDERS USELESS FOR FILING EMAILS !!

  17. give us back the full length reading pane please !

    The first thing you can do is to go back to giving us the ability to have a fill length reading and search screen instead of covering up a quarter of the screen with EVEN MORE advertising. The latest screen grab has made Yahoo mail nearly unusable /unviewable. Please fix this !

  18. Allow us to customize the main page it is not intuitive at all

    We need you to bring back original Yahoo Interface, this doesn't work well and it's very painful to navigate. Specifically, the fonts are too thick, almost bold and thus makes interface very clumsy. We should be able to customize the fonts etc.. on the main page to make this workable.
