  3. 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…

  6. 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.

  7. 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. 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.

  13. Change folder access

    Please move your folders back to a drop down menu. It is easier to move emails to folders the old way.

  14. Calendar

    Why are you paying overpriced coders to make something worse? Why replace "New Event" with a plus sign? Why doesn't the calendar disappear after you click to select a date? I'm curious to know how your employees justify these changes in a meeting.

  15. Ads look like unread messages

    Ads look exactly the same as unread email! Makes it impossible to differentiate between an ad and an important message. VERY annoying, please fix!!

  16. Color options

    I’d like to have other options besides a page fully white or fully black. Other colors and gradations of those colors would be easier on the eyes and more pleasant for those who have preferences. If there is a way to do that now, please tell me how, for I haven’t found it. Thank you.

  18. Unread counter or indicator on Spam folder

    Personally, I would highly benefit from a counter or indicator for unread messages in the Spam folder. Sometimes messages go to Spam, without really being spam, and without any indication for that I see them after months.

  19. show number of emails in "Deleted" and "Spam" folders

    If you hover the mouse over "Inbox" or "Sent" folders, it gives you a count of emails in the folder. With "Deleted" and "Spam" folers, you need to enter the folder to find out how many (if any) emails are there. The previous version gave this functionality.

  20. Move list of accounts back to the top

    I loved Yahoo mail for being able to work easily with several accounts at the same time. New Yahoo Mail moved the account list to the bottom in a dropdown, so I have to scroll down and click to see if I have a new message in other accounts rather than knowing at a glance.

    Switching back to the old UI to get the reason I keep using Yahoo as my main mail interface back.
