  1. Filtering is fine, but by default, I want to see All, not Priority

    Filtering is fine, but by default, I want to see All, not Priority. How do I fix this? If I want priority, I can click on it later. I've missed important emails that your 'AI' nonsense put in another category.

  2. Email lists

    I formed some groups of email lists, so I can email Group 1, Group 2, etc. When it changed to the new Yahoo format, I can't find or access those groups. So, I can't add, change, or delete any email addresses in the groups.

  3. date

    Having emails broken up by date is helpful when trying to locate a relevant email. Yes, it is ordered by date in the inbox, but not being able to see where yesterday, last week, and last month emails start makes it very difficult when doing a visual search because you cannot search using the correct key word or recall the sender - only roughly when it was sent. Please bring back the time periods (today, yesterday, last week, last month, last year, etc.).

  4. issues with new format

    several issues. 1) it doesn't go to the next email after delete. 2) the down arrow doesn't go to the next email. 3) can't click 1 email, hold shift and click another email to have all those in range be selected. 4) you don't need to select an action and then apply. just have the action button. 5) don't require clicking Refresh to show new emails; just refresh automatically.

  5. Summary

    Please go back to classic format. At the least, you need to provide the option to remove the bothersome AI. And why is Yahoo defaulting to judge what is a priority email in my inbox? Isn't this my email? The new views stink. Why did I have to hunt for the Spam and Trash folders? Really bad idea to change the format and really, really bad new format!!.

  6. Allow users of the original Yahoo Mail to adjust font size and style

    For those of us who prefer the old Yahoo Mail layout, please restore the ability to change font size and style. The inbox shows the correct font, but when I go to compose, the font is very small.

  7. Inbox issues

    New Inbox design does not show # of unread email as it does for folders like older version. Inbox unread/read coloring is NOT easy to notice.

    Moving emails between folders or back is not as smooth as older version. Have to attempt 3 or 4 times & multiple ways before it works.

    Prefer older version but NO WAY to go back to it now.

  8. when selecting multiple emails, it jumps around then defaults to selecting all

    when selecting multiple emails, it jumps around then defaults to selecting all, needs to keep the list as selected and not average the length of the selected emails, for example if you select the first email, then the 20th email, the list will jump from somewhere in the middle and you have to scroll back to the 2nd , and then it jumps back to the new midddle section

  9. Expanded Folders

    When I first signed into the new yahoo, it gave me the option for expanded or condensed view for the left side (inbox, sent, folders, "dot dot dot"). Now that option is gone, and I am stuck in condensed, but I want expanded so I can see my folder. You gave me the option in "what new?", but now I cannot adjust that setting.

  10. trash and spam buttons too close together and move after each email, accidentally marking trash as spam

    the trash and spam buttons are too close together and move after deleting an item. when i trash an item, the same mouse location sometimes becomes spam, accidentally marking emails as spam.

  13. Mass delete made easier

    1) allow searching emails by folders (or exclude folders)
    2) allow searching by emails "other than"
    3) allow "delete all" button in tabs (promotions, newsletters, etc)

  15. Sort function

    Bring back sorting the inbox (and every other folder) by sender or subject line. Enable searching within a specific folder instead of the entire account. In other words, when I am in folder 'family' and I conduct a search I don't want results from 'inbox' and 'work.' The updates have degraded my ability to sort and clean out my inbox from the previous experience/user interface.

  16. Introduce schedule mail

    Namaskar, I've been using it for a long time, and I'm happy to be a Yahoo user. Now, I would like to request adding a feature like scheduled send mail, as it would be very helpful for users who rely on their mail for personal and official correspondence.

    I hope I'll soon get a new update on my feedback.

    Thank you.

  17. functional search engine with easy navigation

    As a long-time Yahoo Mail user, I would like to point out that with the latest version of this mail I have a problem with searching for emails by sender name.
    I don't get what I need at all and like it was in the previous version.

    When I select to see an email from a specific name, I don't get just the name I need, but all possible emails sent by others. It completely blocks my quick browsing and selection activities.

    Please show me a solution.

  18. unread filter is now useless

    I'm now stuck in the new UI and the unread folder doesn't have the option to filter out the sent items. I need to find and remove some 50,000 old emails and now I can't reach them because of all the unsubscribe emails you sent on my behalf.

  19. Extra, unnecessary navigation and features being forced

    I like the new look, however there are a couple things I dislike. It seems now I need to actually select an email to "Star" it. That wasn't necessary prior. Also, the trash icon will not appear on the email in the left column unless you move your mouse away and return. These new aspects are seriously annoying and would prefer an option for that not to be that way. When changing the look, please don't change folder structures. Every time you give a facelift, I have to take time to put things back the way they were through a…

  20. PageUp and PageDown

    Would sure like to be able to use Page Up and Page Down in an open message. It worked in old version, can you restore it to function in this new version?
