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.

Make this an optional view. I do not need to see my "Starred" and "Contacts" persistently displayed. It eats up valuable real estate. Just want to focus on my emails.

Yes Yahoo Mail Team, please give the option to remove the "Starred and Contacts" box at the right of the screen. As it is I can only read half of the email subject line which is very frustrating and forces me to go back to classic mail.

I think Miguel mis-spoke. This feature is **not** useful when two windows are being displayed side by side because then the real-estate that remains to work with is 1/2 what it used to be. Therefore this blank (for me) box where starred messages or contacts might be displayed is taking up approx 1/3 of the right side of the screen for no good reason, cutting off the valuable information in the email section of the screen. One just needs the ability to collapse that right column, or turn it off permanently in settings. IMO

The Starred and Contact box needs to be removed. It's taking up too much space that could be used for the mail's subject, and beginning. Starred? Never use it. Contacts can be put where they have always been...at the left.

It's amazing you would dedicate 1/3 of the screen to something that is blank 99% of the time (starred messages) or useless (all contacts). At the expense of only being able to read 4-5 words of the subject line and half the user name.
Please tighten up the interface, remove whitespace down the left hand side, eliminate/hide the right side box, so that the main content we are actually here for (the messages) has enough room to be usable. Design it so at about 640 pixels wide you can read entire usernames and most of the subject heading and have the remaining fields usable.

I dont' see the "SETTINGS" gear. I want to turn off the right side panel that takes up about 1/3 of the screen. It makes a main purpose of email - scanning subject lines - impossible. Only 2 or 3 words show up.

Thanks Miguel. We really appreciate the feedback. You mean the Starred AND Contacts box. So you'd like to remove it, collapse it or even in general make it more narrow?
