    why can't I move my sent mail to my inbox. It makes it harder for me to keep track of what I have responded to at a glance.

  4. Don't make my inbox jump

    Don't make my inbox jump. When I have scrolled down to a message and delete/file it, don't put me at the top of my inbox. So frustrating.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Navigation via Sender of Email

    I would like to be able to sort email by Sender of the email. This will help to better manage my email account. I would also like to be able to delete all associated emails sent by a particular user instead of having to page through the whole list of emails from the one sender. Thank you for your assistance.

  8. Email contacts

    Why do email Contacts default to First Name only. I list my contacts by last name (as I'm sure many do). I know I have the option to change it each and every time I go into Contacts to compose an email, but I would like the default option to go to Last name and stay there for future emails.

  12. 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???

  13. Return to top of inbox

    Two suggestions to improve the user experience in Yahoo Mail

    1) After moving an email into a folder, the screen always reverts to the top of the inbox . . . which can be inconvenient if you are working your way through your inbox to file away emails (i.e. every time you move an email to a folder, you then have to scroll back down through your inbox to find where you left off). It would be helpful if the inbox could stay in the same spot as opposed to reverting to the top.

    2) When dragging a selected email…

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
