A need for an easier way to create a filter in Yahoo Mail
This isn’t a new feature request — it already existed as a beautifully simple option called “Filter messages like this.” One click. Zero drama. Peak UX.
Now? Creating a filter feels like onboarding to a new SaaS product:
Settings → More Settings → Filters → Add new filter → Name it → Define criteria → Realize you forgot the email address → Go back → Copy it → Start over → Pick a folder → Save → Contemplate your life choices.
By the end, I’ve basically completed a side quest that I never wanted.
Please bring back a quick, developer‑sanity‑preserving “Create filter from this message” option in the three‑dot More menu. My wrists, my time, other users, and my patience all thank you.
