  3. E-mails

    Mail, that I send to myself, I can't even view, because of possible viruses. This is a taking security a little over board. By now everyone should know tnot to open mail, when they don't know the sender. However, you would let me download the email, so, if a virus is in the mail, it would be ok, having it on my computer. What kind of logic is that????

  5. MAKE THE CHECKBOX AREA BIGGER

    Please, for the love of god, make the checkbox are bigger. The only use for the area left of the purple unread dot is to select messages. Yet if I miss the checkbox by 1 pixel, it opens the message I want to select for deletion. I get too many emails I don't want to read everyday. Make it easy for me to delete them.

  6. Delete emails

    Could you make the delete all emails an actual working function? I can only delete them 100 at a time- when I choose to delete all option it deletes NOTHING. It's been like this for years. I am just confused why you have a delete all option if it does not work, especially since I pay for premium. Anyway, just an idea.

  10. Slow Performance

    Slow/sluggish performance within the past 2 months. Both for the desktop and mobile app. More sluggish performance noted on the andriod mobile app. Not sure what changed. Before it used to be nearly seamless switching from folder to folder. Now, I cannot tell if the application is locked up and crashed or it is just being sluggish with the way the speed it takes to switch from folder to folder. This is very annoying. Its only email and not some movie. If the slowness is due to Yahoo trying to add AI or something to better crawl our e-mails, get…

  11. New version is very messay

    why I love my old version cos
    - unread emails have clear subject headers with their categories / folders name behind
    - now it is infront and makes reading mail headers interrupted by folder name first
    - row separator colors are clear and distinctive, making scanning email headers easy
    - fonts are better compressed and clear

    i really prefer the old email

  12. Remove the hover over folder names

    Every time i go down through my folders the stupid hovering popup would show up and prevent me from clicking the folder below which is actually what i wanted to access. Just remove it. It is unnecessary and flat out stupid

  15. Keep the inbox sorted as selected

    I want to love the new Yahoo Mail, but it is very hard to do so. I do not have the amount of time it takes to efficiently clean out my email. With the free storage limit, it is quite frustrating. I like to go through email by sorting by "sender"; however, as soon as I move a chunk of emails to a folder or delete them, the inbox goes back to being unfilted. I do this by being on the "All" category, and not only is it unfiltered, but it also moves me to the Priority category. It is…

  16. Put filters back

    It used to be really easy to add filters to incoming emails. You've taken the option away from the main screen and hidden it inside options. Please put it back so that emails are much easier to screen and pre-sort. This is one of the main reasons I still use a Yahoo edress.

  17. Filter Unread by Sender Name

    Previously I was able to sort UNREAD emails by sender's name however it wasnt sorting correctly. Now the option is removed and I'm not able select the option.
    Can you PLEASE add back the option to sort Unread emails by sender name AND have it sort correctly. This is currently working in other folders. It is NOT user friendly the way it is currently!
    It is not difficult to add especially since the option is already working in other folders. PLEASE reply with and update and ETA.

  18. Switching between accounts

    Hi there,
    It would be awesome if you could place the "switching between accounts" link or button back to the main screen.
    It used to be a lot more easier and faster to change between accounts.
    Thanks for your consideration!
    Kind regards,

  19. Forwarding emails- the cursor should be in the adressee field, not in the message section

    Forwarding emails- the cursor should be in the adressee field, not in the message section. You do not necessarily need to write a message when forwarding and email, but you definitely have to enter an addressee. Move the default cursor to the addressee field.

    I would like to be able to type someone's name as it is in yahoo and their email populates with their name visible as it already does. Then I would like to be able to right click on that name and copy their email address.
