  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

  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. Provide a link to return to original/older version of yahoo mail

    Provide a link to return to original/older version of yahoo mail with all versions of yahoo email. There is a version that offers such a link on the right-side menu listing, but not all versions do. Get programmers that know what they are doing so there is uniformity on all version of yahoo mail!

    You can also allow these messages to go to someone in charge so action/corrections can be made quicker!

  10. Too much cognitive overload, not enough personalization preferences

    1) be able to disable the logo avatars next to emails, this is unnecessary visual noise and makes scanning the inbox for a senders name difficult

    2) when selecting an email I would prefer a split screen view (much like you see in desktop clients) so that users can stay oriented to where they are vs moving to a full screen take over.. too many clicks and friction to read and interact with message

    3) option to hide pre-headers. The subject line is typically enough to understand the email content. The additional preheader also add cognitive load, complicates the inbox…

  11. Read email

    With the latest update, or a bug, I'm not sure, all the emails are highlighted exactly the same, the only difference between a read and un-read one is the small blue bullet point in front of it.
    Before, or when it was working properly, the read emails were not highlighted, but left on a black/white background (depending on the theme used, I use only dark theme), while the un-read ones were highlighted with a whiter black

  12. Free Account Advertisement Idea

    I really like Yahoo Mail; however, the advertisements are quite annoying. Yahoo could provide 10GB of free storage and offer paid upgrades for additional space, instead of relying on ads in free accounts. Additionally, Yahoo should consider launching a cloud storage service.

  14. PLEASE GET RID OF THE HIDDEN HOVER UNSUBSCRIBE BUTTON!!!!!

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, get rid of the hovering "Unsubscribe" button that ONLY shows up when hovering over the title of an email in the list of emails to select and read. It is way too easy for someone to accidentally click on the "Unsubscribe" hidden button when just reaching to point and click on an email title because the hidden button is not visible when moving the pointer quickly over the email title. Also, there is no way to undo this "Unsubscribe" function. This is a terrible feature for email as it is can be too easily accidentally triggered.

  15. Make it easier to enlarge the print

    I can't find anywhere that makes the appearance of everything, especially text, larger. No offence but your target demographic is getting older and our eyesight is getting worse. I've had this email for 20 something years. Whenever I give out my email the kids are telling me that I'm showing my age. :/ But if you could make an "accessibility" tab where you can change things like that, that would be great.

    Thanks

  16. Still should have a way of showing the read/unread more than the blue dots.

    My read messages are not grayed out anymore and I don't see a way to make that happen. Hunting via the blue dots is not ideal.

  17. Get rid of the HUGE "unsubscribe" blob that blocks the subject line of the email!!

    My idea is that you did not sample "real" users of yahoo email before implementing MANY of your stupid degrading "improvements"!

  18. Please fix read vs unread emails!!

  19. Message Deleted Undo Action Bubble

    After you delete a message, a bubble pops up with the "Undo" option. It needs to be smaller in size and disappear faster. It sits there for about 3 seconds and stays activated, meaning that even if I open another email, I have to click in it to unlock my mouse from the delete bubble. It stays about one second to one and a half seconds too long. The timing in the old version was too short, and this one is too long. I mean, it isn't like we can't go into the trash folder and find it if we…

  20. Change back to grayed out for read mail

    Please change back to grayed out read mail, as the new dots are difficult to see and quickly detect. I really don't wish to go back to the old format for this issue. Thanks much.
