  3. Acknowledge of receipt

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

  4. All of my important emails were deleted. System difficult to work with.

    The original email system worked best for me. The new system is too complicated to work with. How can I get the prior email system back with all of my emails missing? Can I have a phone number of someone to talk to? System too hard to work with. Nedd to retrieve all of my missing emails.

  7. adjust color theme

    The light is too light and the dark is too dark. Neither of them are easy to read. The old one had more colors to section your view and focus attention and sight better.

    Very sorry, but we currently have no plans to add more themes or colors. We have simplified our colors. We used to have more themes, but it has very very low usage and high upkeep. A majority of our users keep the default. Thanks.

  8. honoring long time users

    I have had a Yahoo email account since 1998, and the one I currently still use daily is from 2003. I recently received a notice that I have used most of the space and that you want me to pay for space. I could easily move things over to gmail or one of your competitors, but I like Yahoo. If you want me to stay, it would be nice to be respected and treated as a legacy customer, rather than being asked to pay for space. Where is your appreciation for loyalty to the brand? I am happy to clean…

  9. Make forwarding free

    its hilarious that comcast moved us here because they have given up on email as a service, and you have no obligation to have feature parity with comcast, but if you think i'm going to pay you a monthly fee just to forward emails out of this ****** service you are out of your mind.

  12. SPAM

    MOVE the SPAM Folder somewhere else, where the TRASH Listed as its Headlines cannot be viewed. I have made this request several times, and I get NOplace. I have had numerous conversations with friends about the Spam that comes UNinvited and I find I am not alone in my opinion that the Spam Folder is ***********. Several of my own friends will not use Yahoo, because of the Spam Folder, worried that their young grandchildren might stumble on that embarassment. Why is it there and Why is it so difficult to Hide it???????

  15. It is very difficult to differentiate between unread and old read mails in new UI

    In inbox, it was crystal clear which emails are unread and which are old emails that have already been open, but in the new UI, it is very difficult; your choice of font and background makes it very difficult to differentiate between the two.

    Thank you for your feedback! We already made a change on unread v read from our Community. Our feedback and data looks much better, therefore, we currently have no plans in changing this again. Very sorry!

  16. Stop the ADS

    I don't care if that you think you need ads to pay for your site, you DON'T need them in my message box!! I complained before and I will start again...DAILY until you stop again! It was nice for the last six months or more, but now you are back at it! It's ridiculous to have them in the mail area, you have enough ads on your main Yahoo home page!!! STOP THE ADS!!!!!!

  17. 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…

  18. No more access to email lists

    With the new format of Yahoo I can't access any more the email lists I built up over the years. I am a volunteer in my neighbourhood and have created a neighbourhood group. One of the facilities of Yahoo mail was the possibility of doing just that. With the new version, I can't access this facility anymore. It is also impossible to answer a person when the original email has been sent to different people. I also still receive doggy emaiils from dating sites despite reporting that to your team. You don't give, like Google does to hop out of…

    We currently have no plans in bringing back themes as when we had it before it had very little use. A majority of our community stayed with the default. Therefore with low usage and high upkeep we made the decision to no longer support themes.

    As for calendar, you can see your calendar in the top, right hand side of your Inbox under "More."

    Hope this helps!

  20. Put back highlighting of unread emails

    Something was changed where unread emails no longer get a different toned background. This has made finding unread emails far, far harder. Please undo that change. It was a horrible quality of life change.
