  1. unsubscribe

    Make the Unsubscribe button smaller — a lot smaller. It takes up so much horizontal space when I mouse over a message that it's far too easy to click it accidentally when I'm just trying to open a message.

  2. Filter Email address wildcard

    When using the filter option "ends with', allow a special character to act like a wildcard that matches both . and @. This would result in less filters as organizations will often use both variants. For example, Adobe currently uses both mail@mail.adobe.com and mail@email.adobe.com which can be filtered using .adobe.com but changes to an individual's profile or 2-fact authentication emails come from message@adobe.com so you need a 2nd filter for @abobe.com. Selecting a different special character which isn't valid in email addresses to act as a substitution to match either would allow creating 1 filter for both.

  3. my idea is not already listed

    The ad in the inbox- I mean... why? It should be highlighted in a way that people aren't confused that it is an email that they need to open.

  4. Inbox interface/appearance is ugly, wastes space, and functions poorly for me.

    I had yahoo set up exactly the way I wanted, with a tight interface so I could view more emails at one time and review them quickly. Neither the old nor the new option allows this now. If you add a new interface, please keep the old one AS IS. It is not that hard. This is a massive fail for yahoo. Will probably start forwarding my accounts elsewhere so I can appropriately customize my inbox.

  6. Mail going to spam that is important- How do we fix it

    You have marked my client as spam when it should be priority. I never blocked him and if I go into blocked emails there are only two and he isn't one of them. Hate this email!!!!!! How do I fix it. Why do you get to decided what is priority and what isn't. He is in my contacts. You should let us pick that the category with a button.

  7. No distinction between Subject and Body text? You couldn't even make Subject bold text?! My god!

    You couldn't even make Subject bold text?! My god! Inbox looks like Windows XP core dump.

  8. Tab counter error

    I keep my mail count at 0 unread messages. If I open an email and do not delete it, and do not click inbox, but I go back a page to the inbox, the tab counter will not refresh. The tab counter will not say there are no unread messages but the tab counter will say 1 unread message even if there are no unread messages. When that happens, the counter does not reset until you reload the page.

  9. "search by" function now is a right click

    "search by" function now is a right click.
    The old mail had a hover-over search icon on the sender and subject line, it was very convenient to just click that (i used it daily to follow threads) now i have to go to the <...> more at the end of an email subject to "search by" . not critical but old hover-over was more convenient
