Welcome. How can we improve the New Yahoo Mail?

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.

    Please put the spam and trash folders back on top closer to the inbox so that we can check those folders if needed. Why are they hidden on the bottom under a clickable three dots when we need to use them?

  • Kadir Korkmaz commented  ·   ·  Report

    Spam folder is inside the three dotted more section. If it is moved to a more visible place with a notification of how many unread email inside, it can be more easier for users to notice missing important emails tackled mistakenly by spam filter.

  • Steven Pintsak commented  ·   ·  Report

    Worst change ever. You hid the trash, spam, and archive folders in the setting at the very bottom! Why?? This is the most disorganized layout I have ever seen. Give us the option to go back to the "normal" yahoo mail. This is a complete mess.

    Go back to having the trash and spam folders show up under the Inbox heading. Or at least provide an option to control the folders under the Inbox list. I'm not talking about the standard add folder list; I'm referring to what used to appear just under "Inbox". i.e. - Sent, Drafts. Spam, Trash.

    Hiding the Spam, Trash and Archive folders is not smart. Wanted mail is regularly sent to Spam. Needed emails can be moved to Trash accidentally. Some people need easy access to the Archive folder. A panicked search for these hidden folders is not good. Paying for this productivity choke point is unacceptable.

    I hate not having the trash folder easily accessible in the folder list. Why do we have to go to More options to see it? I constantly need to go back and look in my trash folder, now it is a nuisance to do so.

  • Jobby Jones commented  ·   ·  Report

    It makes absolutely ZERO sense that the Spam and Trash folders were hidden under the menu that users have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the folder for.

    They should appear up below the Inbox and Sent folder just as they did in the past.

    At the very minimum, I should easily be able to move/drag them to there if I prefer them being there and not hidden under a sub-menu.

    Sometimes mail goes to spam. I would always like to be able to see SPAM folder all the time in left sidebar for easier checking.
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    In the new Yahoo Mail interface, the Spam folder is only accessible through the “More” or “…” menu. It would be really helpful to have the option to pin or show the Spam folder directly in the main sidebar, just like Inbox or Drafts.
    As someone who checks the Spam folder regularly, having quicker access would improve usability and workflow.
    Thanks for considering this improvement!

    Today, it's hidden after all my folders and not easy to access. (and where did all the other ideas/posts go?)

  • Ayame Morrie commented  ·   ·  Report

    Should have kept the spam and trash folders in the quick list. I do not like having to scroll all the way down to the bottom of my folder list and clicking on the three dots to access them.

  • Mark Montembeau commented  ·   ·  Report

    PLEASE make the trash bin icon visible so I don't forget to delete my old Emails!

    The spam folder should be easily visible. On my desktop Windows PC (Google Chrome browser) it is now hidden at the bottom of my folder list under the ... clicktab. Extremely impractical and thus unhelpful.

  • Marilyn Barkasy commented  ·   ·  Report

    I liked the idea of going through my spam and trash before deleting in case I missed something accidently, now im not given the option, pease tell me how to return to old way.

  • Joy Pike commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would like spam folder and trash folder to be on the main screen with inbox, starred, sent, draft. I don't ever use the starred so it could be moved to the 3 dots. Take extra time for me to hit the 3 dots all the time to clean up spam & trash folder.

  • Bill Horcil commented  ·   ·  Report

    Add possibilty to customize menu on left side -

    e.g. to move "Unread" up in the menu !!!!!!!

  • mcheins commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have important emails that are continually being found in my SPAM folder. I have, for many years had to move them to my inbox or have missed them all together. If there is NO way to make certain that if I label it NOT SPAM, never to see it again in that folder, then can you please incorporate a way to make "rules" for emails that will override the spam algorithm (which doesn't seem to work well).

  • Andrew Godfrey commented  ·   ·  Report

    I like the old yahoo mail but if you change list spam in the inbox categories
