'Restore the Spam Folder' has been merged into this idea

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.

    Restore the Spam folder. Some of my desired emails go there. I like to check it regularly. Now it is gone.

  • Brian G Epstein commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why did you hide Spam and Trash? They should be near the top, where they used to be

  • Ronald A Levesque commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please could you make it so that "Spam and "Trash" are always visible in the left hand column as opposed to always having to click on the three dots to reveal them? That would make navigation to and from so much easier.
    Thank-you.

    My idea is to move the Trash and Spam folders back where they were under Drafts. Having to close the Folders view, then click on the ellipse, then click on Trash or Spam is stepping backwards.

    Thanks. Mike

    The menu got cut shorter. I used non read emails a lot, as wel as spam and the bin of the email. they were one click on the maind screen, now they went to a sub menu, i have to click twice and direct atention to locating where the folder i wants is because it isn't on the visual field always. The sabe happens to the folders i use to organize the email. This new menu is set only to look cleaner and "modern", but usability is awful. I used to leave the folder 'im using in focus and drag the emails to them, now every email i have to drag, wait above de "folders" icon, and then scroll until i find it again, and again, and again.... It is not usefull although it is "cleaner".

    Please have an option for us to show/hide the spam folder in the new Yahoo mail. I don't like that I have to click the 3 dots first, then click on the spam folder to see if anything is in there.

    Thank you.

    The old Yahoo Mail had one excellent feature I recommend you bring back: Spam folder was in the main folders list with the number of unread emails and an "empty spam" button right next to it. Now the folder is hidden, it takes two clicks before you even see if there's anything there, and another two clicks to empty it. Hiding the spam folder makes it's very easy to forget to check if an awaited email has gone to spam. Very frustrating.

    Please put back the number next to the Spam Folder. Until a few years ago, a number would appear next to the spam folder. I wouldn't check that folder unless I saw a number next to it. Now I have to check all the time just to be sure (since sometimes things wind up in there, that aren't spam).

    Also, in that same vein, please put the Spam Folder back with the visible folders ("Sent, Drafts," etc). With the new email, that folder is hidden.

    Thanks!

    Please put the Trash Bin Folder back on the main Folders list underneath Inbox, etc. It is one of the most used folders and a pain to have to keep scrolling to the bottom of the folders list to access the More option and find Trash. Thank you.

  • Guy Rozyo commented  ·   ·  Report

    allow us to customize the sidebar for example let us MOVE THE TRASH TRSAH FOLDER TO THE MAIN LIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Larry Le Feuvre commented  ·   ·  Report

    I prefer to have the spam and trash folder visible and not hidden. Also, it's interesting how switching to the new email seems to have opened the floodgates for SPAM emails to continuously bombard my account. Allow more than 3 blocked domains!!!!!

  • D M Goldstein commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please return the Spam folder to the top with Sent and Drafts. Having to scroll to the bottom of the Folders list and expand the three dots is a poor user experience.

  • David Olmedo commented  ·   ·  Report

    can we get a trash bin next to the spam folder just like it is for the trash folder?

  • JustYourAverageJoeSchmoe commented  ·   ·  Report

    Right now, the spam folder is hidden from the default view. I have to press the three dots and then click on spam to get to it. It makes sense that the my archive can only be accessed after I press the three dots, but to get to the spam folder under the three dots is just a bit exhausting for me because sometimes there are things that land in the spam folder and I just need to do a quick check.

  • Carlos Castro B commented  ·   ·  Report

    It would be nice to keep the Trash folder in the same place it was before together with the Sent folder. I have a lot of folders over the years with Yahoo e-mail and going back and forward to the bottom of the folders comes really uncomfortable. I hope you can do this for the millions of people like me using Yahoo's e-mail. Thanks

  • Nina De Sole commented  ·   ·  Report

    Just have the folders handy, not to have to dig at the bottom for unread/spam/trash
    thanks.... In that, the old Yahoo was way better

  • Charles Rose commented  ·   ·  Report

    Trash folder is hidden behind a three dot "hamburger menu". I would like for it to be always visible

  • Mark Montembeau commented  ·   ·  Report

    Could you PLEASE make the recycle bin and spam folder icons visible so I don't forget to empty them? It is very annoying!

  • FIRST USED BOOKS commented  ·   ·  Report

    I want to put icon for spam folder back on top where I can see it without clicking "more". The advice for expanding folders doesn't work. Nowhere I hover produces Double Arrows.

    Keep Folders Expanded - First expand left hand column by hovering on Inbox edge until you see Double Arrows. Then a drop down will show up next to Folders.
