    to be able to segregate all emails of a particular 'sender' within that folder - ie. inbox - and do what you want with it - ie. delete all, move to another folder, etc.

    fyi - this ability was in the previous version

  • BRIAN SHELTRA commented  ·   ·  Report

    You can't sort by sender either. This is garbage. Look at years of gmail complaints and you'lll see the removal of these options is the #1 complaint.

  • BRIAN SHELTRA commented  ·   ·  Report

    Where's the "view all messages from sender" option? Don't go all gmail on me or I'll leave. With that option you only had to click a button. Gmail makes you type in the search box. Way more work the search box way. Bring it back.

    It was nice to be able to look up specific sender addresses and delete them all at once. Now my email is exploding with emails I don't want to have and it is so difficult now to weed through everything to find the ones to delete and because of it I have 3000 more emails than I would have from senders I don't need to keep anymore! Why did you delete such a powerful tool for us all to use to keep mail cleaner. Jeff.

    Please bring back the "one click" option to see all the messages from one sender. That was the best thing about Yahoo mail. I don't have the option to sort by sender or the ability to go back to the old mail. Please bring this back!

  • Lisa G commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please bring this back. I used it ALL the time for senders and subjects

  • MAIN - Mary Klauk commented  ·   ·  Report

    YES! Regularly I would switch to the version that allowed me to sort by sent b/c I couldn't do it in the version before this dreadful update.

  • Jason Jakubas commented  ·   ·  Report

    Bring back the sender search function on the actual email line that searches for all of the emails from that sender.

  • Alfred M Granberry commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have a couple of tons of old emails (years old) that I can't get to to review or delete, Some are important keep forever emails (log in info, business contacts for online orders, etc) stuff I remember doing but can't remember the sender to look up the email, but I remember the time it was done or received. Give me a date search function so I can see all emails not deleted or read for a range of dates.

  • Alfred M Granberry commented  ·   ·  Report

    spyglass search for emails by dates. Sometimes I can't remember the email sender name or the subject of email, BUT, I remember it was sent in (date range) let use search by dates an allow us to go to date and delete old emails that no longer are needed

    WHY CAN'T WE SEARCH BY FOLDERS OR SENDER ANYMORE?
    I need to be able to search for emails by sender. Why get rid of the magnifying glass by the sender's name? Having the ability to search by sender was key in organizing emails out of my inbox and into their appropriate folders.

    I also need to be able to search a mailbox's subfolders. The search bar only allows me to search in an email account, not the subfolders. So even searching for a specific phrase will have me sifting through a million emails from multiple unrelated folders.

  • Brett Groom commented  ·   ·  Report

    I get lots of newsletters - I don;t read them all - i used to be able to look at all of them form one sender and could decide to view some or not - and I could do with one click. Why is this gone?

  • BCWatson Watson commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm not exactly happy that you have changed everything, although I'm willing to give it some time to get used to. In the other system I was able to click on an email to drag up all the emails from that particular individual.... how can I do that with this system.

  • Melissa Doll commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is probably the most used feature when it comes to searching through and managing my email. I like to see all of the emails from a single sender. It helps me sort my emails and delete ones that I get multiple times a day. If I haven't checked my email in a couple of days, I'm able to gather the ones that I need and delete if necessary. PLEASE bring it back!!!

  • Ivan M. commented  ·   ·  Report

    Return the lens icon to search by sender email address in one click

  • Jonathan Ward commented  ·   ·  Report

    EASILY the feature I miss most and one of the things that differentiated yahoo from other mail services

  • Roben Alarcon commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you have it in list mode, and you click on the three dots to the right of the subject, you can search by sender name or subject line.

  • Helene Tekulsky commented  ·   ·  Report

    Gone is that tiny magnifying glass that was next to the sender name where you could easily select all emails from that sender to review. Now the action is in a little toggle switch to the right of the message. Why are you insistent in hiding things that were easily seen in the previous version?

  • Mary Word commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why are you breaking function? Infuriating. This is one of the best functions and like many others you just choose form over function.

  • Allison Birmingham commented  ·   ·  Report

    Spy Glass feature is an absolute necessity. It is one of the reasons I use yahoo mail!!!!
