  1. date

    Having emails broken up by date is helpful when trying to locate a relevant email. Yes, it is ordered by date in the inbox, but not being able to see where yesterday, last week, and last month emails start makes it very difficult when doing a visual search because you cannot search using the correct key word or recall the sender - only roughly when it was sent. Please bring back the time periods (today, yesterday, last week, last month, last year, etc.).

  3. folders

    Folders List Stays Collapsed. I see a lot of closed comments saying you can open the list with an arrow next to the FOLDER. My screen shows no arrow and I cannot find a setting to keep it expanded. Please don't tell me you have no intention of changing this, the expanded folder list allows me to accomplish work faster.

  4. inbox messages by day

    There used to be delineations in the inbox from "Today" or "Yesterday" up to "more than a week ago". That was very handy to find emails received within the past few days to help with follow-up. You removed it, and I cannot imagine why you would do that.

  5. Show sender's address

    You say it's easy to see the sender's email, but when I hovered yesterday, the first part of the address was hidden by my cursor. Why not put it above the cursor, or better yet,, also show it so I can copy it if I want to? Today I can't even see the address when I hover and it's not inside either. How do I know who it is really from???

  7. Navigation

    Could you please place the Archive on the main menu. Now is in a dropdown list and it takes me awfully long time to archive my mails.

  8. How do you view the attachments from all emails on 1 page

    The page where you can view the attachments from all emails was nice. I liked using the arrow keys on my laptop to view the attachments from all of my emails in a continuous chain all on 1 page without having to switch emails.

  9. Top header with Category Tabs & Sorting menu not always visible

    When switching folders or categories in the Inbox, I lose the top header with the Sort menu options and category tabs, and keep having to refresh. This makes it impossible to sort emails in my subfolders as when I refresh it goes back to the inbox. I only check my subfolders once or twice a week so need to be able to access the sort menu when I go to those folders.

  11. Can't access filters in new version

    This is rediculous. Why are there no more filters that are easily accessable? I should be able to filter straight from my inbox. Trash upgrade pointless changes as usual. Only gets worse.

  12. select all

    What happened to the select all + mark as read option? I have approximately 200 emails, and all are spam. The select all option made it simpler to clear my mail box. It is overwhelming seeing the number go higher daily.

  13. Sort by Sender

    It would be helpful if the inbox and other folders could be sorted by sender to make it easier to delete unwanted messages. I've had this option in the past on other email platforms and it makes it easier to see a sender and know I don't need anything from them and can delete all of their messages. Searching for each possible sender takes a multitude of time and patience and email doesn't get cleaned out as often. Thanks for your consideration.

  15. Failures of the new e mail set up

    This new e mail is very, very, very, frustrating: 1. The type is so much smaller it is hard to read and I cannot figure out how to make it bigger; The new e mail "Priority" setting is stupid! It picks stuff that is not important to me and it omits stuff that is and it switched back and forth randomly. I could go on but this new e mail set up is so difficult I am considering quitting all together!

  17. Sort by Sender

    I have two accounts and I just logged into my second account and I am not able to sort my mail by sender. Why would this differ between accounts. This should always be an option. Please add it back as an option.

  19. see all filters

    I went to Settings, then clicked on Filters in the left panel. And "11 of 500 used" appears at bottom. How do I see all filters? Why is there a limit? When there are unending spammers and scammers.

  20. SORT BY SENDER .......SORT BY SENDER ....SORT BY SENDER...

    I have used yahoo since 2005 and the most useful feature was that I could sort by sender in addition to the other options you now have available. I do not use this feature very often but it is THE BEST feature that you offered and why I never went to another email service. This one feature makes cleaning a breeze. Not having this feature causes me to spend an inordinate amount of time to accomplish the same. Please, please, please bring this feature back. Thank you very much.
