  1. Easy viewing of messages with attachments

    When a conversation is expanded, giving 1-line previews, it would be useful to see which messages carry attachments

  2. Can 'select all' be made visible all the time?

    Hello, I saw in a couple posts that the 'select all' box becomes available once an email has been selected. Personally, I'd prefer it if the 'select all' box was always visible. It's honestly kind of annoying that I have to select an individual email in order to make the 'select all' box visible. Also, I recently realized this, but when I'm in a filter/folder other than 'all' I instinctively think the 'all' is the 'select all'.

  4. Pleaseeeeee go back to the old version. Thank you

    It's hard to handle and look for the new "look" of Yahoo main page. Why in the world would change the appearance of the Yahoo?. The old version is very easy to handle and understand. If there are not a button of get back to Yahoo old version, I'm going to look to close the account and open a new one in Google.

  7. Why can I no longer paste a screenshot in the body of an email --- bad for my business

    Why can I no longer paste a screenshot in the body of an email --- bad for my business.
    I often need to screenshot a portion of a document or a screenshot -- no longer have that capability in the new version.
    Please give back functionality we had in the Classic Version.
    Your attempt to streamline and give better functionality is obviously a FAILURE !

  8. We can no longer widen the column with the folders making it impossilbe to see the entire title of the folder

    We can no longer widen the column with the folders making it impossilbe to see the entire label of the folder if it has a longer label. Also, when changing the name of a folder, if you only want to add to the existing label you have to retype the whole thing. Very time consuming. In addition, when you are trying to move a folder you can no longer search by typing part of the name but have to scroll - if you have a ton of folders that is very time consuming.

    Please bring back the ability to widen…

  10. Email chain

    The email chain view or the conversation view in Yahoo needs to be fixed big time, it is so hard to follow conversations as the old and new get all jumbled up in there. It is a mess!

  11. Why am I not getting all of my emails from my Cox email account?

    As of a few days ago (that I noticed) I am not receiving all of my emails on my desktop from my Cox email address. This is concerning as I get some very important emails that I only know that I am not getting here is because I do get them on my phone. It is important that I be able to access these emails because I need to attach items from my desktop in my responses.

  12. Email Summary, Why?

    Not sure if this belongs in Priority Inbox, but what's the point in an email summary? I can see the email right there and can read it. Priority Inbox? Now I have to trust that your AI isn't going to hide an important email from me? I think not.

  15. Simplify format and viewing options.

    This format is terrible. Multiple inboxes and the inability to easily sort be sender is terrible. It's like gMail but worse.

  17. Email account new layout

    Email folder display - I do not like the new setup that doesn't show the folders down the left side without pressing the "Folder" button; how do I change this back to original layout?
    I do not like the separated headers "All Primary Offers Social Newsletters" - how do I go back to all emails showing under one main heading?

  18. Scrolling in emails

    When viewing email (on my Chromebook plus) by double-clicking it, I can't use my arrow keys to move up and down through the email. Space bar won't scroll by full page, either. These are standard web page navigation techniques. Please fix soon!

  20. Block Sender

    Please return the Block Sender feature to my Email. You are setting Yourself up for massive liability. Before, I could permanently Block Senders. Now, Yahoo removed that feature. These bad actors that would have been blocked, finally fooled me and I clicked on and suffered massive financial loss via identity theft. Everyone who had this happen after that feature was removed should start a Class-Action Law suit to recover damages from Yahoo.

    PLEASE RETURN THE BLOCK SENDERS FEATURE TO MY EMAIL.

    Thanks!
