  1. external mail boxes

    I access many other external mailboxes through my Yahoo mail account (Gmail, AOL, etc.) In the old Yahoo mail layout I am able to see all of those mailboxes and if there is new messages in each box. In the new one I have to hover my mouse over the main box at the bottom in order to see this. I like the old layout better for this reason.

  2. Move send button up to top

    The Send button is at the bottom of the mail when composing a mail. This is a pain as I need to scroll down the email when it is a long mail to send it. This should be higher on the screen and in view.

  3. Its terrible The best improvement is to retiurn back to previous mail

    I hate it so much. Can I return to basic mail? You can't even reduce picture size with the new mail. In my view, it's a step backwards. There is nothing wrong with basic previous mail

  5. Starred

    I want "Starred" to appear on the left menu bar. Of the items there, I click on "trash" the least so I'd suggest you replace "trash" with "starred" and move it to the slot second from the top. Starred means you need to reference it, so it's important. Give it an important position in the menu bar.

  7. block or unsubscribe automatically when multiple emails from the same address are deleted

    Automate or use AI to recognize when an account holder repeatedly deletes emails from an account without opening them. Once those are recognize, either automate or offer to unsubscribe and/or block that sender, and/or automatically mark them as spam for all future emails.

  8. admit your error and revert basic mail interface as an option for users.

    in the nicest terms possible - "please give me the option of keeping the "basic" version.
    in less than nice terms, the new mail interface blows chunks and does not suit my work style, ease of navigation, or method of working efficiently.
    I have tried the interface now on several PCs, and used it in setting up many clients - it might suit tablet users, but is a BIG step backwards for PC users. I live in hope you will wake up to this gross error and revert the option for basic - in the meanwhile I am looking for…

  9. Increase number of allowed sender and domain blocks.

    Currently, only 1,000 senders and 500 domains are allowed to be blocked. That number needs to be much higher. Today's spammers are randomizing their sender addresses and setting up fake domains by automated process. If you can't increase those limits can you do better at filtering my email to prevent spam mails from ever reaching my inbox. Emails that do not have a DKIM-Signature should be AUTOMATICALLY BLOCKED. That's the bare minimum protection you can provide to those who PAY for their email inbox. Please assist. Thank you. Luke

  10. increase blocked email addresses allowance

    give users the ability to block more than 1000 emails. spam emails are sent everyday, we need more options to keep our inboxes clean. Lock it behind a paywall, I don't care.

  11. send button

    Please move the "send" button to the top like all other email providers. Ridiculous to have to keep scrolling down to find the "send" button.

  13. Choose folders in left bar

    Hi, I dont want to see folders that I dont use such as Archive, Starred, Unread and Scheduled.
    They are taking too much space on the left bar and I cant see my folders that I use often.
    It would be a good idea to be able to choose what to see.
    Thanks, Ori

  14. I'll be quitting Yahoo mail if I'm not returned to what I originally signed up for

    my idea is to probably quit using yahoo mail from now on as you have violated what you started out to be and that was a free email service that had ads. I don't like being forced to pay for something that was totally free before. I did not make that choice based on knowing that you would eventually force payment. I want what I signed up for and have been using for a very long time or I'm gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. No idea just plea

    You can 'improve' New Yahoo Mail by giving us an option to go back to old mail. New one might look fancy and all that jazz but really sucks. It 'hurts' eyes' and at the same it makes it harder to see the topic, especially in Drafts. It just doesn't look good, no matter how fancy you think it is. And making it so complicated to complain (or 'help with new ideas) just makes us more confident in switching to Gmail.

  17. disappointed

    You can improve it by reverting back to the old one. This new version just throws more and bigger ads in your face while reducing the useful part of the screen.
    We are being bombarded with more and more of this kind of "ads in your face" everywhere. I am disappointed in yahoo mail.

    More theme options. Light or dark theme options do not have enough variability for ease of use.
