Right Side Panel (Contacts, Starred, Etc)
There should be a way to remove the contact box on the right. This feature is useful when two windows (one is yahoomail) are displayed side-by-side. During these situations, window real estate is valuable.

Starred email panel should allow to be eliminated. I don't use it. However, because it can't be eliminated I lose 1/3 of my laptop screen. It shows as a big open blank area while trying to use the new email. I opted to use the old interface and eliminate the issue. Unfortunately, I can't use the new features and developments Yahoo mail has created.

Concerning the look of the email page--I know I can expand the size of the email lines and hide the "Starred" section but it isn't permanent. If I close the page--or even just refresh the page it goes back to half of emails and half "Starred". Could you please make it so we can set our preference of hiding the "Starred" section and it would be permanent until we change it (if we want) in Yahoo email settings?
Thank-you. -

ASAP, Get rid of the side bar on the right! Make it an option if someone wants to add it. Annoying!!

Ability to completely get rid of right column. This should be a top priority as it takes so much space that we can't see full preview of mail. Shocking that nobody thought of it before launch!

Would love to be able to hide the "starred view" list, which persistently displays to the right of listed emails (Inbox, Drafts, Sent).
Hiding this view would give me more space to see subjects of the listed emails.
Thoughts?
Thank you, Tim -

The star box is way too big. We should be able to minimize it

remove the contact list from the right side of email screen. It takes up space and is annoying. I want to be able to choose to see my contacts, not have them visible taking up screen space all the time. I want it removed to be able to expand my email. chat said contact list is permanent part of New yahoo mail design and cannot be removed. CHANGE that. chat also said I could not get back my old yahoo email .

PLEASE GET RIDE OF THE "Starred/ Contacts" Bar on the side and let me have the whole screen back!

Allow the right side column width showing starred emails to be made smaller or deleted since it interferes with reading the emails.

Diego Carlton commented
Please do away with right panel showing starred email or contacts. I prefer to just have the more space to list and preview more text from my emails.

Please allow me to trmove the star area on the right. i don't use it and it takes up so much room and is useless to me.

This new Yahoo Email display sucks. I do not like how short Email list is because of Calendar etc (I do not use and have Ad Blocked) but cannot increase the section width of Email List.
