  1. Current Open Email Indicator Bar

    When i am reading my emails with my inbox or folder on the left and the email on the right of the screen, the only indicator on the left in the list of emails of which one I am currently reading is a small, slim purple bar on the right of the email subject and first line card. This little purple bar gets partially covered by the scroll up and down bar when not hovering over it and is completely covered by it if you start using the scroll bar. My preference would be that you make the purple bar…

  2. BUG: Issue with Attachment Viewer

    When pre-viewing an attachment on an email with multiple attachments, ability to select a file from the dropdown is great; allows the user to quickly select a particular file.

    However, when I wanted to go back to the email, for each of those selected files, I need to click the "X" on the top right. If I viewed 3 files, using the dropdown to switch between them, I have to click "X" on top right 3 times.

    The UX should be that a single click on "X" closes the attachment previews and goes back to the email.

  3. A few usability suggestions

    Great new design, I like it. There are a few things that I think could be improved:

    1. Ads look the same as new emails so its hard to see how many emails you haven't checked - good for ads click through, not so great for user experience.

    2. The inbox icon doesn't show the number of unread emails which is a bit odd.

    3. The inbox default to Priority not All even if you haven't set the priority emails.

  5. Some important functions disappear at certain levels of screen zoom

    Because of my eyesight, I often increase the zoom on my screen. In this new design, certain essential buttons disappear "below the fold" and require either a scroll or even resizing the zoom level so it appears. This includes the list of MAILBOXES at bottom left and also the SEND button when composing a message.

    These crucial functions should either be moved up to the upper part of the display or remain durable at the bottom of the screen regardless of the level of zoom. Or at least allow the left panel and the overall page to be scrollable so…

  6. Fix the PDF E-Signature Preview Bug or Default to the Old Features

    The attached PDF file we previewed in the emails didn't contain the E-Signature our company needed to verify with our clients. When we downloaded the PDF file it showed the E-Signatures. This caused some miscommunications and confusions.

  8. Filter Patterns

    Please please please add the ability to use patterns for Filter conditions. This pattern could be regex or globs.

    This would simplify the filtering because we wouldn't have to create so many of them.

  10. Keep the Inbox Still While Navigating It

    Flow of inbox navigation is interrupted by ads changing in inbox while screening unread emails. I lose my place as the inbox scrolls back up a handful of emails I've already checked, and I have to scroll back down as the inbox is bouncing up and down in order to find the email I was last looking at.

    It's more time efficient to keep the inbox stationary while the inbox ads change as your eyes glance over your emails checking for the ones that are most important to the specific user. Because the defaulted priority category of emails doesn't really…

  11. Want to see all my email addresses at a glance - not in a popup

    Don't like the new layout. It takes me twice as long to see whats in my inbox when I have to mouse over a pop up containing all my email addresses. It was much easier and convenient to have all my email addresses listed at the top so I could see how many emails I had at a glance. Additionally, you can no longer delete several emails at a time, and one at a time is a waste of time. Get rid of the AI **** and KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)

  12. click inbox to refresh

    In the new mail interface, I'd like to be able to click the "inbox" icon on the left nav and have it check for new mail and remain in the mail view I'm in. Currently if you click the "inbox" to check for new mail you are always reset back to the "priority" view. I need to do this for MFA tokens and the like, but they don't always end up in the "priority" tab. So I have to do one more step and switch back to the "all" view. I dislike the browser reload as I feel like I'm…

  13. Accessibility in dark theme (Web-browser): in the message list, make the selected message more visible

    I am using Yahoo mail via Web-browser on a PC. In the dark theme, when I select a message from the list, it is marked with a narrow purple stripe on the right side. If there are lots of messages in the folder, it is hard to notice the selected message. I offer to make the whole background light-purple for the selected list item.

  14. Show all Mailboxes

    List all mailboxes under the navigation area in the desktop browser app. I need to see an overview of all mailboxes and the amount of new emails in each box, like the left panel was previously. The navigation of selecting each mailbox individually to view is clunky, and a annoyance. I have over 10 mailboxes connected and this new layout is very inconvenient. Even a tab in the Right panel would work.

  15. Cannot be done because of restriction on Yahoo part.

    It is impossible to navigate between Yahoo while a search from another folder is taking place. Not even a split page is in place. The information that is being sort is for purpose of completing a request so that a report sorted can be seen.

  16. sorted by sender

    When I have the "All" category sorted by sender for easy email management, it unsorts after I move a group of emails to a folder. Please make it so I return to the "all" category, sorted by sender as I had it.

    Also, when you select email to move to a certain folder, can it default to having the cursor in the search field to find the folder quicker? It takes too many "clicks" to move emails to folders.

  18. Include a logout link which is visible at all times

    On my PC, the logout link is only visible for a short time after I refresh the page. So a simple attempt to logout becomes a bizarre game of skill in which I need to click the logout link before it disappears. This is extremely annoying and pointless -- unless your goal is to make logging out difficult so you can better track users' browsing activities.
