  1. Priority

    When all mail tab is selected the Priority label on all the Priority mail covers part of the subject line in the list of mail, a smaller circle with just a P in in it I believe would be better to not interfere with reading the subject titles.

    Not real important but it does look sloppy.

    Thanks - Paul

  4. Option to run filter on SPAM folder

    1. I am getting too much spam mails. while I setup a filter based on trend seen on the spam mails, but filter is not working. Here the filter is setup based on email id and not on sender display name.

    2. When i use block sender, provide the feature to identify the trend on blocked senders email id and yahoo should block them all. (sample email id trend 550355955@nodekwn.twjys233.com, 550355955@node20g.redlinecircuits.com, 550355955@lbox.damnserver.com)

  5. Show folders more clearly.

    When I move an email, it does not go out of the inbox. It stays in the inbox woth a notation as to where a copy was sent. This is crazy and ineffective.

  7. colour fonts are very dull

    Colour fonts are very dull, and it is difficult to distinguish between read and unread messages. They need to focus more on the read messages.

  8. Fix Spam Filters!

    Every day, I have to mark emails from my union, the NTEU as NOT SPAM! Every day, I get phishing emails not from who they claim to be that purport to offer something free, but want me to give information. You spam filters do not work at all.

  9. Better mouse management on hover/activation on deleting emails.

    Most people do not want to use the select boxes and then click delete. People want to hover their mouse over the delete button, read the email subject and click delete and repeat this action. This works great in Gmail but in your system, when you hover over delete and click (mail is deleted), the new mail row doesnt activate the delete icon and you have to move your mouse to another email record and then hover back over. Makes things very tedious when you are quickly cleaning up your mailbox

  10. Slow Emails

    Since migrating from Comcast, I noticed that emails are slow to get to my inbox. When a code is sent to my email, it expires by the time it gets there and is taking as long as an hour. How do I fix this as I'm not able to use my email to access other items. Thanks!

  13. current email selected

    The little blue bar to note your highlighted email is terrible. give an option to highlight the ENTIRE SELECTION.
    When your rushing to delete unwanted emails you cannot do it with just scanning because it doesn't jump out.

    Also the delete under the mouse shifts positions and you have to shift your mouse as you do deletes and doesn't stay in one spot.

  14. message window impossible to read

    Hello, this new layout makes it impossible to read my messages on a desktop. Having the small window with the message covered up by a large box containing redundant sender information is beyond unnecessary. I much prefer the message opening as a full page, or if you insist on making the small side by side window an option, then at least make it something that can be turned off for those of us who just want to read our messages without frustration.

  15. option to disable the text preview in subject line

    Please offer the option to disable the text blurb in the subject line. It clutters up the Inbox, & shortens the sender's subject line, which could cause confusion, or even upsetness. Imagine a subject line, "grandma is dying to see your reaction to this!", but, with the shortened subject line & blurb, the receiver sees, "grandma is dying (and then, in lighter text) [name], Grandma is", and that's all. I do like that you're planning to make it easier to see, between read & unread, that was really difficult.

  19. Run Filter Now for Emails

    It would be really helpful if filters could be applied to emails already in the inbox, not just new ones. A “Run filter now” option or the ability to reapply filters to existing folders would save a lot of time when organizing older messages.

    Super glichy... overlapping buttons making sending, filing, trashing completely inaccessible. Honestly very bad. WHAT HAPPENED... was excellent before.
