    I did not find the tool allowing to know that the message sent was read (i.e. acknowledge of receipt). Does it exist? Thanks

  5. Bulk Delete of Unread Emails

    I see in the 3 dots you can filter to choose "unread" emails. It would be nice to have it a set box on the left not just in the 3 dots or in the Inbox - have a category of "unread" in addition to Primary, Offers, Social and Newsletters. Then be able to bulk delete all of the "unread" emails as an option. It would also be nice to have the option for bulk delete in each of the categories not just up to 100 emails at a time. It is time consuming to do minimal bulk deletes when…

  8. external mail boxes

    I access many other external mailboxes through my Yahoo mail account (Gmail, AOL, etc.) In the old Yahoo mail layout I am able to see all of those mailboxes and if there is new messages in each box. In the new one I have to hover my mouse over the main box at the bottom in order to see this. I like the old layout better for this reason.

  9. Move send button up to top

    The Send button is at the bottom of the mail when composing a mail. This is a pain as I need to scroll down the email when it is a long mail to send it. This should be higher on the screen and in view.

  10. Make avatars/icons optional in inbox

    Hi. I find the avatars/icons to be like clutter. Please find a way to have them removed from view for those of us who don't like to see them.

  12. Forwarding emails

    Need to be able to forward an email from a frontier.com address to a gmail.com address. It's BS that forwarding is a "premium" feature and not available, give an allowance of so many forwarded emails, like 10. I just want ONE rule to forward ONE type of message, not ALL emails. I understand that, but this requires me to have a computer on, running outlook, so that a rule will automatically do this now.

  14. Terrible colour scheme! Please improve

    Hello, you have changed the look of Yahoo mail and now it is so hard to read on my PC that I hate it.

    Very pale grey font on a white background, makes the writing extremely hard to see, illegible, almost invisible.

    I used to have a purple background I think. Or some of the screen was purple. But either way, the font was clearly different from the background. And legible.

    Can you at least give us the option to change the colour scheme in the settings. Dark mode is not better, White letters flashing about on a black background!…

  15. Please change back to previous version - this is so unclear

    This new version is so unclear and very 'same as'. The original version of mail was so simple and was very easy for me to see exactly what was happening in my mail box. The colours are unclear, difficult to distiguish between messages, the replied arrow is unclear. There is nothing useful about this at all. I use this account for a self employed business but will probably have to change to Gmail. My other Yahoo account is personal, so not quite so important to me.

  17. use the classic yahoo mail dark grey color scheme in the new mail client

    Allow the choice of the different color and style choices from the old or classic mail client. The style choices are too harsh

  18. All white or all black!!! 😨

    All that white is killing me! So is the dark black. Please give us a choice to insert an image in the background. Or give us some themes. That will also help making Yahoo mail more personalized. Thanx.

  20. COLOR - GIVE US BACK OUR COLOR

    The White is too blinding and the Black is too dark and depressing. What made you think that dropping all color or theme options was a good idea? Do you want your brand to disappear because we will all abandon you for Google? I don't want to do that - I WANT COLORSSS.
