  1. Search by Sender

    One of the key features I use quite frequently is the "Search by Sender". I get lots of emails from specific vendors like Rumble, Zillow, and other vendors that send me notifications. In the past, I click on the "..." and I can select Search Sender, and I can find all my emails. With the new interface, you have to open the email and select "Search Sender". Why move this function to an actual email? For EMAIL management, this capability should be a mailbox feature, not a specific email feature.

  3. DO NOT SHOW MY EVENTS AS “3 MORE” OR "2 MORE" IN THE MONTHLY FORMAT, I NEED TO SEE THEM ALL, ALL AT ONCE

    I am having major issues with the updated changes to the Calendar, very dissatisfied

    PLEASE FIX THIS
    DO NOT SHOW MY EVENTS AS “3 MORE” OR "2 MORE" IN THE MONTHLY FORMAT, I NEED TO SEE THEM ALL, ALL AT ONCE

    I NEED TO SEE THEM TO BOOK TIMESLOTS

    IT IS NOT HELPFUL TO CLICK THE “3 MORE” AND HAVE A LITTLE WINDOW SHOW UP

    I NEED TO BE ABLE FOR ALL TIMESLOTS TO BE VISIBLE ON THE MAIN SCREEN AT ALL TIMES.

    WE HAVE DOZENS OF BOOKINGS IN A DAY
    THE EVENING BOOKINGS AS WELL NEED TO BE VISIBLE…

  5. Allow sort by size in email

    If you are going to limit storage size it would be great if, like with outlook, we could see which emails are the main culprits, like I can in outlook. Its often the back and forth with a big powerpoint presentation or photos from my sister that can be deleted to give me months of additional normal mail space. But if I cant sort by size......

    Think about it. Help us manage the size by deleting our BIG emails. Thx

  7. Split View Removal

    How can I delete (or turn off) the split view option? This option makes it nearly impossible to file the emails I want to keep. Thanks!

  8. FOLDERS

    I would prefer if the folders section was always visible on the left sidebar. Currently, having to click "Folders" and then select a specific folder adds unnecessary steps to the workflow. Ideally, the folders should be displayed by default for quick access.

  9. Manage Storage tab

    Just received a Yahoo! email about the Manage Storage tab. I'm pretty sure I've seen my storage is at around 15GB but I can't recall where now. Anyway. Well let's go check out the Manage Storage tab then...
    Why does the Manage Storage tab not indicate how much storage an account is currently using? Shouldn't that be the most important information on that page, seeing there are offers to extend it? Seems like a super logical thing to do.

  10. clicking outside the selector box of an email cancels all selected emails for deletion

    This drives me nuts. When i'm cleaning out emails, junk or otherwise, by selecting emails by clicking the box next to them, if i miss a box ALL the emails i've selected get de-selected. Then i have to go through it again. Huge pain. Please fix this.

  11. Emails Drafts being deleted

    Email drafts are being deleted when the "delete" button is accidently clicked when typing in the subject of the email. This is extremely frustrating as I always have to restart my email. I have lost work multiple times in the last week because of this. Please look into this issue, otherwise I might need to switch my main email address to Gmail.

  12. Tabs are hard to close now.

    The new "tabs" are ****. You have to hover in just the right spot to get the X to close it, and then it sometimes disappears before you can click it and you have to try the hover move again.

  14. Stop Blocking the Navigation Bar with "Undo Delete"

    This "new thing" is obtrusive and considerably annoying. You moved it up and out of the way for a couple of days yet now IT'S BACK. Get rid of it....move it up...whatever. I'm about an inch away from going back to Outlook. That's how much some of us hate this "led by the nose" experience with Yahoo Mail!

  15. Calendar Scheduling

    Whenever I click on the date, I want to schedule an event, the date is off by at least a day. Even when I amend the date and save the event is off by a day. So I have to end up dragging the event to the correct day. It's a BIG hassle to say the least. Please rectify this buy at your earliest convenience. Thanks in advance !!!

  16. Fix the Calendar!!!

    When I choose a day to add an event-it opens using the current day-not the day I chose. It also does this when I use the dropdown menu for adding an event or task. This is very frustrating & inconvenient; especially after years of choosing a day & have that day screen open.

    The favorite sports team sync with the Yahoo! calendar does not pull over games onto the calendar anymore, and/or it is spotty and missing games.

  18. Fix message hovers on Firefox, esp "Delete" (Trashcan) Icon

    After deleting a message with the trash can hover, the next message pops up. On Chrome, the trash can icon appears as expected. But on Firefox, you have to move the mouse out of the pane (either hover over another message, or move right to the preview pane and then back over the message. This makes deleting many messages in a row painful. It's a simple implementation bug, but worth fixing as Firefox is still a very popular browser.
