Please, please, please restore the ability to search by folder. I need to search only the inbox and not the other folders to be able to quickly delete unneeded emails. The loss of this feature makes me want to switch to the older version, but I don't see a way to do that. Thanks!

Should be able to constrain search to a specific folder, such as the Inbox, rather than all of Mail.

it is a pain to have all mails listed , during the search operations. Any selection of the mails in the search results is a real nighmare !! The only option seems to be click each mail to have it selected ... or you can select all mails at once ... but no way to quickly select a sizeable number of mails ... ! So for a baby step solution .. have at least one folder ...u can have one default folder created by you , like Archive .. but which will not be searched for mails, during the search operations ... This will remove GREAT PAIN for the world ... Thank me WELL , IN KIND , if my idea is implemented !

I used to be able to search my inbox or a specific folder. Now when I search, I am shown every single SENT message along with the INBOX stuff along with FOLDERS for that sender or search topic. This makes finder stuff take 5x longer than it should sometimes. Allow me to search inbox only or exclude sent, etc.

Add a button or dropdown in the Advanced filter that allows to search only in the InBox or search only in a specific folder.

search function needs to have the ability to limit search to Inbox only, or only on "non-foldered" emails.

today when you do a search, all emails in all mailboxes come, but does not help to address an specific mailbox you want to manage. I think there has to be a selection box to choose if the email search is in ALL the emails or if selected to specific mailbox, that will make the search more effective.

Old Yahoo Mail allowed you to seach in sub-folders in each linked email box. New Yahoo Mail does not let you select any sub-folders; only main email box. This is like you broke the search function/downgraded or ruined the function when you made what seems like visual "improvements" (not impressed) only.

Add drop down list of folders to make it easier to save the important email. When you do a search for email include folder contents.

I have used my Yahoo account for probably 20 years-personal, work, my child's activities now adult. Life is in folders - I can't easily find what I am looking for...I need a way to search JUST for the folder I want.

Search in one folder only

I move emails from various sources to specific folders. I need a search limited to only the Inbox. Similarly, when searching in a folder, the search should be limited to that folder. Lastly, there should be a way to choose multiple folders in the search.

Another option would be to have "rules" that take incoming messages and move them. For example, all e-mails from anyone@myjob.com move to Work folder.

I used to have many filter options while searching - these included by date and by folder. Could you bring these back ? Why did you remove and reduce basic features and functions ? Do you have all removals/changes documented somewhere ? I am a long time user of Yahoo mail, and feel like this is removing functionality. And maybe Yahoo's way of forcing me to pay a few $ for "improved" email access ???

It would be quite helpful to add a field in the advance search window the ability to choose which folder(s) to search. I just found that I could add "in:folder-name" to the search, but a dedicated field would make this much easier and conspicuous for my aging mind. Thanks!

I have several specialized folders for one subject (genealogy). When I search for a sender I'd like to be able to limit the search to the inbox only, so that I do not pick up all the already sorted messages. As it is, I have to hunt and peck individual messages in the search results to send to the special folders.

There seems to be no way to search my entire email including all folders. This is annoying and makes yahoo mail pretty useless

Search inbox only (exclude emails that are in folders)

Currently, you only give the option to search all messages or search another email account. Please add the option to search a specific folder (one I created) for an email. For example, I have a folder called "Orders," when I make an online purchase I save the receipt email in this folder. If I go looking for this email, I only want to search for it in my "Orders" folder. I do not want to search all my emails. Another option would be to allow users to change the color tint of the headers of all of the emails in my Orders folder so when I search for a specific email, all the emails in my Orders folder would show up in the color tint I had selected for that folder. All the emails still in my inbox would be white. Currently, you have to move the mouse over each email header in the list to see where that email is being stored (inbox, Orders, or some other folder).

Put the Search by Folder Option back in the new Yahoo! Mail
