  1. Remove the big UNSUBSCRIBE from on top of the subject line on mouse over

    When I'm on desktop, it's natural for me to move my mouse over an email that I'm going to open or delete as I'm going through my emails. When I do that, many of the emails have their subject line now almost completely hidden by a big UNSUBSCRIBE button. I don't generally want to one-click unsubscribe from my emails. I want to scan the sender and subject line, see if they're worth opening, and then make a decision based on that. But when the big UNSUBSCRIBE button comes up, I can't see the subject line so then I have to…

  2. MAKE THE CHECKBOX AREA BIGGER

    Please, for the love of god, make the checkbox are bigger. The only use for the area left of the purple unread dot is to select messages. Yet if I miss the checkbox by 1 pixel, it opens the message I want to select for deletion. I get too many emails I don't want to read everyday. Make it easy for me to delete them.

  4. Filter Unread by Sender Name

    Previously I was able to sort UNREAD emails by sender's name however it wasnt sorting correctly. Now the option is removed and I'm not able select the option.
    Can you PLEASE add back the option to sort Unread emails by sender name AND have it sort correctly. This is currently working in other folders. It is NOT user friendly the way it is currently!

  5. Subject Line in List View

    When I view my inbox I only want to see the subject line and not the first line of content. I cant find a way to remove this so I have a cleaner view of emails. Very cluttered.

  6. totally unhelpful

    it is a total chaos in switching from one inbox to another inbox when i have 2 or 3 inboxes at the same time opened.
    .

    i need to see the different emails in the list of "added emails" at the top
    of the email i am logged in
    so i may switch between them
    easily

    it was better before when
    i was able to simply click on it
    and see the list of all added emails
    and switch between them

    instead of: going outside
    the email and then log in again
    i am already logged in

    it is total…

  7. Make it less busy.

    Too many dark lines all over the inbox. It's hard to focus. Maybe a lighter color except for when the cursor goes over it?

  10. The subject of the email should not be replaced by yahoo

    Currently with the new Yahoo the subject of the email is getting replaced in the inbox view. The actual subject can be sent when I click on the email. The subject should not be changed just like it was in the old Yahoo.

  13. Adjust spam folder rules to allow for calander invites not to be sent directly into the spam folder

    I have recently noticed how every calendar invite I'm being sent by people I've been in conversation with have been automatically placed in the spam folder with no indication something was moved into the spam folder. I have almost missed multiple important meetings, so I ask for the ability to change the way calendar invites are treated in the spam sorting algorithm or at least the ability to recognize people I've been emailing for a few days as trusted senders.

  17. Folders

    I'd love it if like gmail, there could be some folders at the top of your inbox like 'Promotions' or 'Updates' so emails could be categorised into personal and marketing sort of categories. Also a more advanced settings page would be ideal.

    I have to

    2. click more on the left panel;

    5. create a new file name and enter all setting by myself.
