Keyboard Shortcuts
Allow pressing delete key to delete checked emails. This is always how I used to delete emails before. I know it's not a huge deal to have to click the trash icon, but I can work faster on my keyboard and this shortcut was nice.

With the forced updated to the new Mail UX, there is no longer an ability to use keyboard shortcuts to move messages to my folders. For example, I used to be able to type D then a number 1-9 to move a message to the corresponding folder. The new UX has lost this feature. Please bring this back.

Since you've updated to the garbage interface of New Yahoo Mail, keyboard shortcuts have stopped working. Seriously? I've been able to push Shift+D for over a decade to move emails out of my inbox and into folders. The New Yahoo Mail is trashing core features. And for what? An absolutely horrible aesthetic?

In the previous version of mail, we could use keyboard shortcut to move an email to a specific folder. This still exist now. But before, we could then press a numeric key to move the email to a folder in alphabetic sequence that align to that number. With this function added back, we don't need to use a mouse to click on the folder we want to move the email to on the window pop up that appears. So before we can move an email with 2 key presses, now we need to press a key and then manipulate the mouse to move something. It's more time consuming and not as efficient.

When I press D to move an email to a Folder, your popup which lists my Folders used to allow Hotkeys 0 through 9 to choose among the first 10 Folders (sorted alphabetically). Please bring back that function, I need it badly.

In yahoo mail, while viewing a message, I used to be able to hit "D" and then a number on the keyboard and it would send me current message to a folder of my choice that corresponded to at least the numbers 1-9 I think. Why can't we have that functionality in this new layout of mail? I complained about this same thing months ago before I was forced out of being able to use the old design, and it still has not been addressed.

The new Yahoo browser client appears too buggy. Apparently, during auto-save keystrokes are treated as shortcuts. Therefore, while composing a message, navigation jumps all over the place: it can create a new message or try to delete current message, without me even attempting any of these actions.
That's super annoying and I'd like that be fixed -

I need to move an email to a folder. No problem. I hit "Shift+D" and tried to type the folder that I wanted to move the email to, but nothing was being typed in! Welcome to the new Yahoo Mail! Now I have to move my hand to the mouse, click the "Search" button, move my hand back to the keyboard to search the folder, then move my hand back to the mouse to select the folder! Why was this changed?! Things worked flawlessly in the old Yahoo Mail—Shift+D, type folder, hit enter, done in under 3 seconds. Bring back the old (and better) workflow!

I can select multiple emails but then an option bar to delete or move would be nice.

Deleting emails. It used to let me click on an email, scroll down and SHIFT+Click another email, jump over 1 or more emails (to keep them), click another email, scroll down and SHIFT+Click another email. I could then click on DELETE and it would delete the groups, and saved the ones I skipped.
Now it randomly selects backwards or forwards and captures the ones I wanted to save and deletes them!!! Especially if you scroll down a few "pages". I'm trying to selectively save and delete my In-Box with 200+ emails! This is crazy!!!!Try it. Click on 3rd email, SHIFT+Click on 6th email (you made group 1, and are saving the first 2 emails), now click on the 10th email and SHIFT+Click on the 15th. (you made group 2, and are saving 7th,8th,9th emails, and eliminating 10 - 15. On my windows pc it will randomly grab the ones you were saving, or select everything in the entire In-Box... In my case, that's 8,348 emails.... SO FRUSTRATING.

I used to be able to click one email and then hold down the SHIFT key and click another email below and all the emails in between would be selected in order to delete a bunch of emails at once. Now I have to click every single f-ing email to select it. I don't want to delete ALL my emails, but it was MUCH MORE CONVENIENT to be able to select a bunch at once. Bring this feature back please.

Without the ability to delete emails this way, it would take me far too long to ckeick one by one through all of the 100s of junk emails I receive each day. If I use select all, I would have to look through all of the checked a=emails and manually uncheck each of the emails I want to keep and read, and that means I woould risk depeting an important email. I strongly dislike many of the so called "features" of the new yahoomail. Please bring back the onled version.

I am upset that the new YahooMail no longer gives me the option to use "shift+click" to delete groups of emails. I used to be able to click on the first email I wanted to delete, then go down to the last email I want to delete, do "shift+click", and delete those two emails and all of the ones in between. Now I can only select all emails or click each box one at a time. I want to keep some of the emails, so selecting all doesn't help, but clicking each box could take forever with all of the junk mail I receive. Now it takes me SO much longer to go through all of my emails. I'm thinking of switching to a more user friendly email provider, since I don't have the time for this. I wish you would bring back the old version of Yahoo Mail. I prefer that version to the new version for many reasons.
