Ability to create new filters from an individual mail message
The ability to contextually create a new filter from an individual mail message was a feature I personally used on a nearly daily basis.
This visual UI redesign has removed this functionality. I'd love to have it restored.
Related, messages that would have been previously caught by my existing filters are slipping back into my inbox, rather than to the folders the filter specifies them to go to. If I could contextually create filters, this would be less of an issue for me, but now I would need to open settings --> go to filters --> manually (re)create the filter.

I know i can still manually create filters but it was so nice being able to quickly create mail filters directly from a message.

You removed the ability to easily filter email. Without it, you need to open an email in RAW mode to find the email address, copy it, then to go settings -> filter to create a new filter. Lots of extra steps that used to be simple.

In the regular Yahoo, I could checkbox the message I wanted filtered, then immediately group it all by sender, subject, whatever. Now I have to remember the sender's address, then go to a different page, then go to yet another different page after that and type in the sender's address that I want filtered. Or subject line or whatever. It doesn't copy automatically. Then by the time I get back to my inbox, I've lost my place for how far down I'd scrolled. And I start all over. How do I get back to the regular yahoo mail?

Bring back the ability to filter directly from the email itself. I am only using the web client so that I instant filter messages. I will be switching back to outlook if I am not able to do this.
