  1. Return to Classic Mail

    Go back to the original Yahoo. This is terrible. Why do I have to click on the 3 dots on the bottom to get the Spam and Trash Folders. They should be on the top with the icons for inbox, etc.

  3. 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. The "Drafts" icon no longer shows the number of active drafts

    In the old version I was able to see how many drafts were currently in the Drafts folder.

    This is no longer possible for some reason

    Please fix.

  6. Remove the ads from the bottom of the email reading screen

    The ads to the side are somewhat unobtrusive, but now with ads at the top of the email and at the bottom of the email, there's hardly room for the message! Please remove the ad banner from the bottom of the email. This has gone too far!!!!

  7. 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.

  10. Arrow to view subfolders of subfolders no longer visible

    When the left side of the screen is expanded to show folders, if a subfolder name is too long, the drop-down arrow to show the subfolders under that folder is no longer visible. This is a new issue. Previously, the folder name would be truncated so that the arrow was always visible. Now, I can't access the subfolders of a subfolder unless I close the left-hand column, click on the icon for Folders, and choose the subfolder's subfolders through the pop-up box. Please fix this ASAP so that the drop-down arrows to access subfolders are again always visible.

  16. 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 !

  17. Reserving Old Emails after an account remains inactive for more than a year due to medical reasons or work related reasons

    Hi, I am in a dilemma. Sometimes back, Life had a good one me, and I was facing major challenges. For a period of time, I stayed without accessing my email. After logging in, I found that all my emails had been deleted, yet there is a very important email that I need. I t was shared in 2010.

  18. Advanced Search -- keyword with other criteria is NOT AVAILABLE

    per Yahoo Help Team -- "Regrettably, the 'Keyword' option is no longer available in the advanced search for the new Yahoo Mail. We apologize that our current articles were misleading regarding this feature. I can see how that'd be useful, though".

    In New Yahoo Mail in the top search bar, click the Advanced Search icon. The search criteria of Keyword is NOT listed per Yahoo help screen. Hence I cannot do Search for multiple criteria per Yahoo help screen -- example ALONG with sender name, date range ++ Keyword as listed on Yahoo help page at

  20. Please fix your Spam and Not Spam filtering.

    Your Spam / Not Spam is not working at all. I find Linked In constantly in Spam as well as other senders I need the mail from. I find sexually disgusting emails in both my mail and Spam. This should not even be delivered. It should be stopped by Yahoo before it gets to our email.
