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.

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 -

Add the ability to hide the contact cards that sometimes pop up.

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.

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.

Greetings!
1. You say that coming soon is “Right Hand Column - Ability to minimize: Contacts, Starred, More.” This cannot come fast enough for me. I HATE having that right-hand column. I want to see my inbox message subject lines—and only my inbox message lines—please.
2. I prefer a much more compact screen showing my inbox message lines. I have it set to the most compact, but it still has too much horizontal space between each message.
I am so sad that you have made these changes. I have paid for YahooMail+ for years but I’m considering going to Gmail now. ☹

Recently, when viewing my yahoo email home page, I've been seeing a new section on the far right side of my screen. That section seems to be dedicated for viewing Contacts, Calendar, and Notepad.
I want my email PREVIEWs to include more of the screen, so how do I get ride of, or minimize the Contacts, Calendar, and Notepad section?
If I'm paying for Yahoo Mail Plus, why can't I have more control of how my home page looks?
Thank you for your time and attention.
Mike

I do not like the starred view box where it is stationary. I cannot read my emails as that space is not large enough without me having to scroll the bar left and right at the bottom of my email. What is the purpose of having that box there? Or at least hide it and when I want to see the starred messages, I have the option to click on an Open button or similar word. Please take it away.

This new update on Yahoo mail for PC (Windows) have horrible layout, very hard to use. The right side column should be eliminated or at least can be turn off by users. I am a paid user for more than 10 years, never complained before. This new update made the PC Yahoo Mail not useable anymore.
The best yahoo mail is actually the IOS version which has many good features (like message, for today, yesterday). Please implement these features into Window PC (Web version).
Thanks.
