Mailbox List
The New Yahoo format is not user friendly as it relates to the navigation pane on the left. I need to be able to see my mailbox list in that pain like i used to. I now need to click on the one mailbox at the bottom to get the other one to show. That means I can no longer just glance at the screen to see if either mailbox has mail. This is a complete hassle. I don't have time to switch over to see each box to find out if there is new mail in that box. Please change it back to the classic view because it allows a user to see - AT A GLANC - if there is new mail in a specific mailbox.
Hello, just wanted to let you know we already have designs on bringing back your mailboxes/accounts back to the top, left hand side. So when the column is expanded you will be able to see all of them, clearly (no hovering) along with the unread counts.
Thanks for your feedback! 💜

I put in a complaint a week ago with the 4 issues that have made yahoo email horrible to use, but I'm not PLEADING to at least correct UX/UI functionality that lessens your whole brand.
The list of synced email accounts, which used to be at the TOP LEFT, above the mailbox of emails so that you could both immediately and easily see what email address you were in, and then easily navigate between addresses due to that UX/UI toolbar being far superior to quickly clicking to the address you need, is now at the very, very bottom of the list of emails/mailbox. With that UX/UI change, you have 100% negatively affected basic, common-sense workflow speed. Beyond the whole emails/mailbox now being too small a font for quick viewing, I don't even clearly see which email box I'm in, whereas even the phone app allows you to clearly see which email box you are in and THE BEST drop-down email address list to quickly get to another address.
What also needs to be restored is the basic functionality of making a PNG/JPG insert into the body of an email have the size options of "small, large, attachment, or remove" that was there for years! Now I insert a tiny PNG and it is HUGE in the email and embarrassing to send but no other choice. I now notice the ability to adjust the size of a PNG that the phone app still had is now also gone. WTF??? It is a basic UX/UI that didn't need fixing, much less removing it altogether. Who is making these choices? It seems clear no one has studied human-design functionality. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Originally, you would simply select the account to switch to. Now, there is an additional click involved; moreover, that dialog is not always working as expected.

Besides that everyone I know who uses Yahoo mail just wants to go back to classic UI, including me, at least let me see all my other mailboxes without having me switch the view. I made Yahoo my primary mail reader and my other mailboxes are linked to Yahoo. I am used to UI changes, but this one is pointless. I need to be able to see my mailboxes at a glance and not switch. Maybe it's time to start using another app or provider.

all linked accounts used to be listed at the top (on the left) and as such were easily accessible with one click.
,..this feature has now moved to the bottom (on a pop up pane), which is really annoying and impractical when you frequently switch between different mail accounts.. ..because it now requires 3 actions instead of one (1. scroll to the bottom of the slide bar, 2.click on the mail account you are currently viewing 3. view the pop up pane and choose alternative account)... Grrrrrrrr!

Multiple mail accounts should appear at the top so that we know which account being used. In YOUR it appears at the bottom and cannot see the account. LOUSY DESIGN

You have made it much more difficult to switch between my various Yahoo Email accounts. Takes a lot more time going through all of the process that was so easy with the past Classic Yahoo Email account. Earlier this evening it would not let me switch back to my Yahoo accounts that I had just come from. Not good. Finally, was able to make the switch. This really needs to be improved and go back to the way you could easily switch between accounts with the Classic Yahoo Email accounts.

I want my email address accesses at the top and visible. I don't want to go to the bottom to switch out my emails

Either list all mail boxes above Inbox to facilitate switch mailbox (preferred) or move the subscriber icon from bottom to above Inbox for easy access without having to scroll left column down to switch Inbox.

You have made it so much more time-consuming switching between Yahoo Emails. You had it perfect with the Classic yahoo email. So much repeat processes. With Classic Yahoo Emails it was easy and quick.

Like the title said. This was in the old Yahoo mail that you refuse to let us revert back to. Each of my inboxes was accessible by clicking the inbox name right under my main inbox folder link for whichever account i was signed into. I don't want to go down to the inbox link at the bottom of the navigation to select my inbox. i want access to my inboxes right in my main folder navigation.

Since you made it more difficult to jump between different email accounts (removing them from being visible and listed at the top of the interface) combine all registered email accounts into a single "ALL Inboxes" folder so that I can see all incoming mail from all attached accounts.
What you have done with moving all the accounts to a pop-up at the bottom is almost unusable.

When I read messages I need to see ALL the email addresses.
In the new WebMail, all that is hidden now.There is no option in Settings -> Viewing Mail to fix this.
Please help -

When I'm writing emails to more than one person, you only list one email, and then list however many additional emails with a number and a plus. This is annoying, especially when there are only two emails total. I can understand when there are many email addresses listed, but not when there are only a couple and they would still fit on the same line. Thanks for considering changing this.
On a different topic, huge thanks for allowing me to sort my folders by email size. I easily deleted over 6 GB of mail this morning.

It used to be that my different email accounts were listed at the top left of the screen. I could easily see all three of my accounts at one glance. Now I have to hover at the bottom of the screen to see them and see if there are any new emails for any of the accounts. The new Yahoo is not an improved Yahoo. I am considering just forwarding my Yahoo emails elsewhere. Unfortunate, because I have loved Yahoo for decades, but not anymore!

Let people adjust the left hand side, so that multiple email addresses are on top so we can see them!! This new layout is just terrible.

it would be much better to have somewhere visible on top of the NEW MESSAGE button all added email addresses, as it was before.
I have 4 different emails that I use on a regular basis and I find it extremely inconvenient and confusing to look for what email I am currently in (it is on the bottom, but in a very inconvenient location and not clear which email is active now)Also lack of themes is a big drawback for the same reason - hard to visually identify which email I am currently using. Personally, those 2 features are a must in my professional life. Would highly appreciate to have them back asap.

I like the new Yahoo mail but I absolutely hate how the email accounts are shown at the bottom and that you can only see one account on the screen. there's no way to know you have emails on another account.

I do not like the fact that I cannot see each email inbox separately and see which has mail at a glance. I now have to mouse over and select each one which is cumbersome and inefficient. I need a setting to provide this option.
