Make Trash and Spam Folders More Accessible
why make things harder to access? there's plenty of room in the left menu bar for those to be openly accessible.

Let me see all my email addresses in a visible list and not hidden away at the bottom of the page.

Allow the user to adjust the width of the folder column (too narrow) vs the email column (too wide). As it is, you can only hide the left column. When you want to see your folder names, only half the text is visible because the email column takes too much space. This means the user has to scroll to each folder to find the correct one. Too much time!
Example: I have folders named 2025: 1st quarter, 2025: spring, 2025: summer. With the new version I can only see 2025: 1st, 2025: s, etc. Therefore I have to click/scroll each folder to determine which one I want. Just make the column adjustable so I can decide how much I want to see in each column.

It's hard finding the trash and spam folder since on the bottom of everything. Can you move back where they used to be? Can I go back to the old version? It's a lot better. I don't like the dark background when you open emails. Thank you

Hiding folders is ludicrous. I check my spam folder every day, why make me use an extra step now to do it?
The trash and other icons are hard to see.
You made yahoo mail worse, why ruin something that isn't broken?
You are going to lose people to Gmail if these aren't fixed.
It's even harder to see the inbox email titles.

The spam and trash folder should be in left window panel for easier access, Why hide it???

Make it easier to access spam and trash and then delete them. You took something that was simple in the classic email and made it so much more difficult.

Trash and Spam folders should be in the left panel, not hidden. Also, each folder in the left, inbox, sent, spam, trash should have a delete button.

Put the spam folder back in. I need to check it for real emails to me. Also, what happened to clicking "unread" to just check new email. I have to change back to it every time I read an email.l

Hiding the Spam and Trash folders in the bottom of the folder list hidden inside three dots (...) is the stupidest design idea ever. Most people delete trash every time we check email so adding extra steps is a waste of time. FIX THIS!

Who decided to hide the folder, such as Spam and Trash? I *want* to see the Spam folder in case messages get sent there accidentally.
I also want to see the Trash folder to be able to recover messages.I agree with the other comments that this option should be customizable to users can choose to keep the folders hidden or not.

How about a "likely spam" folder? Or maybe even a sort on spam score in the spam folder ??

I agree...or at least make the List customizable where the user can decide which categories to put in that list

Please show all folders together. There's no need for a pop-up box to be able to access Unread, Archive, Spam, and Trash.

This is a law office and because you moved this away from sight, we have missed multiple emails.

PLEASE bring back the trash and spam folders on the left nav rail!! Why on earth would you make it harder for us to access those folders? Use those as much as inbox.

need a quick way to examine SPAM folder. Now I have to go to the bottom of the folder list to where there is a line of three dots. Clicking on that shows the SPAM folder plus other actions.
Would like that list up near the top. -

Your "new" version of email makes me want to look for other email services or programs.
Why do I return to my inbox when I delete a message. I am unable to find any way to change that in the old classic version after you switched me to you new awful version!
