  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.

  8. 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 !

  9. 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. Get rid of the message summaries

    They are redundant and messy. If you don't want to get rid of them, at least let people opt in or out depending on their preferences.

  12. Stop spam better

    Either improve your spam filters or allow us more flexibility to block it ie increase the amount of email addresses and domains that we can manually block

  14. Keeping older emails in the inbox

    I don't have an idea, I have a complaint. I had years' worth of "read" emails that I had saved in my inbox & all of a sudden they were completely deleted & erased from my inbox. I don't know why that was done, but those were emails that were a) sentimental b/c the senders are deceased; b) very important for my financing and c) contained personal information that I needed for recent & future transactions. They are all gone & I can't find them in any of the other folders. Please leave the inboxes alone even if the emails…
