  1. Delete all offers

    I would like to delete all "Offers". The UI is really weird for this. If you select "All", then you are no longer targeting offers. With the new UI, you have to select at least one message on the "Offers" tab, then you can select "All" messages, but it's limited to just the 100 messages in your current list. I would like to nuke them all, from all time, similar to how Delete all Spam was on the old UI.

    What's even more troubling is that I can select the Offer messages and delete them 100 at a time, but…

  3. Current Open Email Indicator Bar

    When i am reading my emails with my inbox or folder on the left and the email on the right of the screen, the only indicator on the left in the list of emails of which one I am currently reading is a small, slim purple bar on the right of the email subject and first line card. This little purple bar gets partially covered by the scroll up and down bar when not hovering over it and is completely covered by it if you start using the scroll bar. My preference would be that you make the purple bar…

  4. Automatically show editable "Subject" lines when replying/forwarding an email

    When replying/forwarding an email I can't edit the subject line or CC/BCC lines without having to click a little arrow next to the "to" line and selecting "edit subject" or "edit BCC and CC".

    It's confusing when the subject line is already large and bold at the top of the email, but I can't click on it to edit. Instead I have to go hunting around for how to edit it.

  5. A few usability suggestions

    Great new design, I like it. There are a few things that I think could be improved:

    1. Ads look the same as new emails so its hard to see how many emails you haven't checked - good for ads click through, not so great for user experience.

    2. The inbox icon doesn't show the number of unread emails which is a bit odd.

    3. The inbox default to Priority not All even if you haven't set the priority emails.

  6. BUG: Issue with Attachment Viewer

    When pre-viewing an attachment on an email with multiple attachments, ability to select a file from the dropdown is great; allows the user to quickly select a particular file.

    However, when I wanted to go back to the email, for each of those selected files, I need to click the "X" on the top right. If I viewed 3 files, using the dropdown to switch between them, I have to click "X" on top right 3 times.

    The UX should be that a single click on "X" closes the attachment previews and goes back to the email.

  7. There is so much wrong with this, I don't know where to start!!!

    1. it seems the reason for your change was to use 1/3 of my screen for that ad on the right side!
    2. When I set up my choices way back when, they worked for me, and still would if you would let me be.
    3. You didn't give me an option...you hi-jacked my account and forced me into this new email garbage.
    4. The color choices and changed layout makes it very hard to read and file my emails.
    5. I used to be in one of my 4 email accounts, and could easily change to the others with a click of the mouse.…

  9. SEARCH IN BODY OF EMAIL

    SEARCH IN BODY OF EMAIL... IIRC, the old Yahoo Mail allowed you to search not just for words in the title, but also in the body of the email. The new Yahoo email appears to only allow searching for words in the title of the email.

    Can we go back to the old way?

  10. Email Deletion

    Please return the ability to select the emails that I want to delete such as starred or unstarred. At this point, I am using the basic email format, but I can only select "All" emails for deletion. I also can not see how to move emails into folders. In the new format I can not even find how to delete emails. This is very unfavorable change.

  11. multiple attachments at once

    Previously I could attach multiple files by selecting them from their folder, new mail has me attaching them one at a time. very inefficient when I have a folder with an invoice and packing slip files side by side and can no longer box both at once for attachment. Same thing where I need to attach multiple photos, 1 at a time, very inefficient attaching process. Too many repetitive process extra clicks, do you not beta test this junk before just dumping it on us?

  12. Inbox spacing

    Basic mail has 3 choices for inbox spacing. Small lets you see many more emails in a browser window. This new mail shows too few, with no option to change (that I can find, anyway).

  13. email missed returned

    There was a time when an email, if misspelled and needed to be removed as an option when populating in the To: Cc: Bb: for word wrap completion would generate and an X appearing as an option for removal next to it. Can that be reinstated...as i once sent a misspelled email, and it continues to populate, and I accidentally send to it again, and it comes back as missed or failure...we'd like to remove the (incorrect email from ever populating) as an option to avoid future failed sent messages

  15. New Version vs Classic Version

    If you can't go back, then tweak the new version to make it more like the previous classic version. This new version is more difficult to read and doesn't even tell you the total number of emails in your inbox.

    To improve upon something means that a newer version should do everything and older version does and then some.

  20. attachments

    When an email has an attachment ( coming or going) please make the file name of that attachment visible. It only gives you"x" amount of letters and the only way to tell which document is which is to open it. Then you have the WHOLE screen preview, which is cumbersome. Please make the font smaller for the file names on attachments.
