  1. Make Archive the actual Archive, get rid of Priority

    1. Archive box is supposed to store SELECTED e-mails. Now it is random e-mails. Not sure what it is actually. I lost my storred archives. Do you even know what "Archive" means? Google it.
    2. The Priority inbox is confusing. Who are you to tell me what is priority for ME!? Just have one INBOX.

  3. "All" should be set by default and Stay

    I would like my view to be set by default to "All" and stay that way until I change. It seems that if I view my inbox with "All" and perform a certain function my view loses the "All" setting and I must select it again.

  4. How do I get my folders to show on the left hand side. There's just an icon that says folders. I need them to appear as a list below that.

  5. folders open in view

    My folders used to be in view so I could view them and move mails easily. Now I need to click into folders to then select the folder to use. This additional click was not there before.

  6. Expand Folder list

    The latest version of Yahoo mail doesn't automatically expand and show the full list of my folder names. I would like this listed and not have to open a popup window and scroll down through all my folder names.

  7. Scrolling in emails

    When viewing email (on my Chromebook plus) by double-clicking it, I can't use my arrow keys to move up and down through the email. Space bar won't scroll by full page, either. These are standard web page navigation techniques. Please fix soon!

  9. Provide a setting to default to "All" or "Primary" for your inbox

    Typically, I want to see ALL my emails, not just what's "primary". Provide a setting so users can choose what they want their default to be. Or simply have it persist to continue using the one that was last selected.

  12. STOP HIDING THE FOLDERS AND # OF UNREAD IN FOLDERS

    I have set up a gazillion filters and folders across 4 different yahoo emails that I use for business, personal and girl scout purposes and use these religiously every day. Your new update has hidden them off to the side and made it so hard to see how many new email are in each folder. Hate!!! Hate!!! HATE IT!!!! Give me the easy use of folders back or I'm switching off of Yahoo Mail which I've used for at least 30 years.

  13. Hidden email & ugly icon

    When I turned on the computer, several messages stating "It's your turn" on BGA popped up in the right hand corner of my screen. When I went to my inbox, I saw no emails from BGA. When I searched for "Board game arena," I saw four recent emails from them. That screen indicated that those messages were in my inbox. Why can't I see them and what other emails might be hidden from view? Also, your icon one the tab is so pale that I have trouble finding it. Plus, you might want to ask us what we think of…

  14. no select all box

    regarding the new mail foermat......

    There is no easily identifiable select all box. We receive 100 spams for every valid email. I use select all and then uncheck the few valid emails that I need to read. It is a HUGE task to ask us to select every mail individually to delete from the innbox. PLEASE put that function back! .

  16. "..."

    Place the "..." menu above the "Folders". I have an extensive "Folder" list that I like to keep open; and when it is open, the "..." gets pushed below my screen. My main need for the "..." is for "Unread" items.

  17. Show all my folders in left column, as before (I would happily search for my idea if you had somewhere to search)

    In the old mail I could see all my folders at once in the left column, and see my inbox contents. Now if I open the folder section, they cover the message list. I can only see one folder at a time. How can I use your "improvement" (see below) much less use my folders as I have them arranged?

    Drag and drop messages to folders - Just click and hold on an email message, then drag and drop that message into a different folder."

  19. email navigation

    The Yahoo email interface has become significantly more complex on the desktop version. I feel quite lost due to the recent design changes. We need to simplify the viewing, reading, and replying process while also grouping emails in a more user-friendly manner. If there are any tutorials available for new users, please share them so that I can better understand how to use the email more effectively.

    Regards,
    Manoj

  20. Make all the email folders visible again

    Instead of hiding the additional folders under a "Folders" menu item make them visible so that emails can be dragged and dropped to folders again. You could make the list of folders collapsible so the user can choose to see or not see them all at once.
