  1. BLUE DOT - Unread

    I have been depending on that blue dot next to an email to see my new mail. It's gone. Get it back.

  2. Infinite Scroll to Next Email

    Absolutely HATE the new feature that concerns scrolling inside of an email and automatically loads the next email. Dozens of times already have read an email, then go to hit the delete key only to realize the next unread email has been loaded and is now in the trash can.

  3. From field not available on Reply/Forward

    ISSUES:

    1. REPLY does not allow you to change the FROM email (it is not even visible). This is a problem if you have multiple emails.

    2. The FORWARD has the same issue as above.

    Both of these are an option on the old version of Yahoo. This is forcing me to copy and paste the entire email and create a new one.

  5. 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…

  6. Let us opt out of planner

    On the PLANNER- For God's sake at least let us be able to take stuff OFF of the planner. Your AI is getting all the stuff wrong. It's a headache and very stressful.

  7. 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…

  8. Don't advertise virus infected ads

    My Yahoo mail is showing an Ad indicating it is coming from McAfee.com that says "Payment has failed". It is an obvious scam intending to infect my computer. Use AI to come up with better software to prevent obvious scams from coming into a users InBox.

  9. Sort by Sender does not stay intact; list pops

    When sorting by sender, the sort does not remain after taking any action, ie opening an email, moving to a folder, deleting, etc. It always goes back to sorting by Newest. I have to resort by sender every time i do anything. This is extremely frustrating and time consuming.

    In addition, once I do resort, the email list pops back to the top and i have to scroll down to the place i was. Every. single. time. I've gotten to the point i just drag to the bottom and hold it while the unending amount of ads on the right…

  10. 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.

  12. Option to view only unread messages in the Inbox

    The "Unread" menu option in the left menu shows ALL unread messages, including those in folders, not just those in the Inbox. Can you please create a single click option to view only the unread messages in the Inbox?

  17. As a user it would be good to be able to zoom in on an attachment when in the view attachment screen.

    It appears that a user cannot zoom in on an open attachment in the attachment view screen. This seems crazy and if it is the case, it should be fixed. It was so easy in the old interface and appears to simply be missing in the new interface. I have already gone back twice to the old interface and am trying hard not to do it for the third time but silly stuff like this is making it harder to stay with the new interface. Thanks.

  18. Reduce the thickness of the rows without affecting the size of the character

    1. The row thickness i.e. distance between the two should be reduced with out affecting the size of the characters. This would cause best utilization of space and minimise the westage of space.
    2. The compose of a new email, at the end of the box there is no facility/possibilities to attach a file. This is a must.
    3. There is no facility/possibilities of formatting the text entered into the new email

  19. Allow for USER DEFINED DEFAULT VIEW based on SORT

    God's sakes, I KNOW this has been requested over and over.

    "The inability to set 'Sort by Sender name' as a permanent default inbox view makes inbox cleanup incredibly frustrating. The page constantly forces a reset back to chronological order while I am trying to delete bulk spam. Please update the UI settings to allow users to permanently lock their preferred layout view" ... he screams again into the void....

    Yes, you have added OTHER TOOLS to help in this but has it occurred to anyone that we may actually NEED to use our actual senses (eyes) before a deletion??

  20. Switching Between Email Accounts

    I have 2 Yahoo Email accounts, one personal use, and the other is the more "serious" one that I use for work, banking, etc. It did not used to do this, but recently, EVERY time I try to switch between these two accounts, I have to enter my password AGAIN every time and sometimes that's not enough and I have to enter a code, go through other security stuff, JUST to switch between my accounts. PLEASE just let me STAY signed in and just simply SWITCH between my accounts with ease!!!
