  1. Display folders on the side bar

    I would prefer if the folders section was always visible on the left sidebar. Currently, having to click "Folders" and then select a specific folder adds unnecessary steps to the workflow. Ideally, the folders should be displayed by default for quick access.

  3. Add an option to turn off AI summaries.

    It might be useful for people with robust business-style accounts, but most of my messages are already short, or they're notifications. It makes the "summaries" redundant and obnoxious.

  4. Make "Unread" a visible menu option, without having to click into a submenu.

    Make "Unread" a visible menu option, without having to click into a submenu. Ideally, allow customization of the default menu options that are visible.

  5. After moving a message, I am returned to the Priority tab, instead of the tab I was looking at before I did the move.

    I will often let Offers and Newsletters pile up for a while, then go through them all in one go. But, annoyingly, if I open a message from, say, the Newsletters view, then move the message to a folder, I get put back into Priority view - argh! It should return to the most recent view I was using (Newsletters).

  6. Left Panel Should Show Number of Unread Messages in Inbox

    The left side panel on the new Yahoo Mail needs to show the number of unread emails with a number beside the email inbox icon. As of now, (November 19, 2024) it is too hard to see unread messages in the inbox because there is no number that says, how many emails are unread.

  7. 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.

  8. "Show Images In Messages" constantly resets to "Always"

    My idea is to have this setting stay where I put it instead of resetting all the time.

    If I select "Ask before showing external images" then it should stay that way.

  9. ABILITY TO MOVE SENT EMAILS TO INBOX

    Please let people be able to move items from their sent folder to their inbox! Used to be able to (while on a laptop; never was able to in the app). I just had to send a sent email to myself, so that I was able to have it in my inbox while waiting for a reply. That's ludicrous!

  10. 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'.

  11. Inbox Categories Options

    In playing with my email settings (and realizing I definitely prefer having the inbox categories disabled), I've realized that the option to presort/filter my mail with a quick button click is actually really handy. Here are some ideas for tweaking it to make it more user-specific.

    1. Please please please, let me set which filter I want as my default and/or allow the option to just go back to the last used filter. I hate that it keeps going back to the 'priority' filter.

    2. It would be nice to be able to select which filters I want being used. I don't…

  12. Inbox spacing

    Basic mail has 3 choices for inbox spacing. Small lets you see many more emails in a browser window. This new mail shows too few, with no option to change (that I can find, anyway).

  13. recent

    Show recent folders in the "move" message option, similar to how Outlook manages it. After you move a message, that folder should be listed first. Up to 4 or 5 recent folders could be maintained there. Thank you!

  14. calendar in the right pane

    In the new version you have starred and contacts on the right side to easily see this information without leaving mail. It would be nice to have calendar there as well to see and make small changes/additions without leaving your email to go to the calendar website. The old version was like this.

  15. Bug: Print Preview in New Yahoo Mail's Dark Mode Does Not Show the Body of the Message

    It shows all the headers of the message in the browser preview window, but not the body of the message. The hard copy itself, prints fine.
