  2. Delete 'trashcan icon' keeps moving

    Why is the 'trashcan icon' at the top of my email moving all of the time. One day it is the 3rd icon, next day it is the first. Please fix this glitch!

  5. Expanded Folders

    Listed under "WHAT'S NEW?" is this:
    "Expanded Folders - Now you can keep them collapse/uncollapse if you want your Left Rail less cluttered."
    Every comment I've seen complaining about folders has a response from an admin stating you can "click on the down arrow next to folders to expand them."
    There is no arrow. There is no way to keep folders expanded. Yahoo Mail seems to be getting worse not better.

  6. WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GROUPS?

    Why do you keep ******* around with email? All my groups disappeared. And, rather than have a simple "Contacts" button you have to search to find them. Lesson: Make it simple!!!!!

  9. Bugs navigating messages

    Fix bugs when navigating messages in left and middle panels including when deleting messages. Sometimes lands anywhere as opposed to message below. Sometimes even "lands" in a message in a different category. Please pay attention to all these small bugs that make it difficult to navigate.

  12. Switching between email accounts is harder compared to what it was before.

    Switching between email accounts is harder compared to what it was before. Old version had all linked emails in the left side navigation menu.

  13. view all mail accounts on the same screen

    The old page allowed me to see if I had new messages on my multiple email addresses. I really would like to be able to see that on the new system.

  14. inbox

    Not sure this if this falls under navigation but under the sort feature for my inbox I do not like that if I select unread all my other emails are now gone. Prior to the update the unread inbox sort feature showed unread emails at the top of of my inbox and the read emails still appeared but below the unread emails. I much prefer the latter and would appreciate either changing back or at least have a sort option that performs the same function. If I'm missing something and there is a workaround that exists I would like to…

  15. Move e-mails to folder

    I'd like a display of folders next to the inbox where items can be dragged, as in the old version.

    You really should allow users to go back to the old version/interface of Yahoo. I doubt anyone will see this, but I want to say, I hate the new Yahoo interface more every day. I've wasted a lot of time trying to find features I use regularly that were previously very accessible. Not a fan of the new version at all, and it's also buggy--usually I can't even access the Send button on messages unless I "pop out" first, and…

  16. Can you create an option to "Pin" the folders icon to stay open to make administration of folders and emails easier?

    The current function of the folders icon makes it cumbersome to perform administrative tasks like deleting emails & folders. It closes every time an action is completed. Instead of remaining open to continue the same task with multiple folders.

  17. sort by subject

    Please bring back sorting by subject - I get hundreds of emails from the same sender with hundreds of different subjects. I want to sort them by subject so I can delete the ones that are repetitive and keep only the earliest version. Removing the sort by subject function has me falling unmanageably behind with thousands of emails piling up!

  19. Original Subject Line

    I really need to get my original email subject lines back. The AI version is not working for me. It has been causing me an inordinate amount of frustration and I will have to switch to a different provider if this cannot be changed. The subject lines are too wordy and often misrepresent the actual subject.
