  1. NO MATCHING MESSAGES

    What idiot thought it was a good idea to put NO MATCHING MESSAGES as a notice that your folder is empty?!?!?!??!?!?! IF my folder is empty have it read: FOLDER EMPTY . The phrase No Matching Messages just tells me that I need to do some more digging to find the messages I was wondering if I had. Can't think of a worse message than no matching messages, that denotes that I need to spend the next 2 hours looking for messages that DO match. I was thinking of switching my emails over to Yahoo plus but if you are…

  3. inbox pages

    Can we please go back to having "pages" of emails? I prefer it so I can manage the number of emails I have. Scrolling continuously to delete is annoying. I like to select all 50 (or whatever) on the page and then unselect the ones I want to keep, and repeat.

  4. Why Make Things Difficult For Subscribers?

    I've been a longtime paid subscriber to Yahoo. I was comfortable with the way things were, then the big change came about and everything I was used to with Yahoo went to ****! This "Unfortunately, if you do not see the "Go Back" button you cannot go back. We really hope you'll try the new experience!". I gave it a chance and it got even worse. Now when, after reading a message in one of my folders, I press the back button which used to take me back to that folder but now throws me all the way back to…

  5. More folders on top of the left "folder bar"

    Right now we have to go to the very bottom, find "..." to access "Unread", "Scheduled", "Archive", "Spam" and "Trash". Is there a way to move them up to be positioned with "Inbox", "Starred", "Sent" and "Drafts"?

  6. 2 AREAS to IMPROVE - Scroll the page + Unread/read switching is TERRIBLE

    Der, I'm VERY FRUSTRATED from this new version. Using only Basic mail version as new Standard version is even more terrible. 2 main Areas you should IMPROVE !!!!

    1) Not possible to scroll page with emails - need to click each page ( this is step 10-15 years back !!! )

    2) Terrible switching of Unread /read messages - again step many years back !!!! Make one click circle as before !!!

  7. Navigation

    When using the Yahoo Mail Desktop experience, each new pages takes you to the top. It would be useful and less work to go to the next item when selecting the next page at the bottom of the one you're on.

  8. Multiple issues with the update

    it takes too long for the message to show that it has been read

    It is too hard to tell which message you are reading

    delete messages button in new location

    mark message as unread was so much easier, now much harder to do

    no button to get to Spam Folder. I OFTEN have emails go there even though they are not spam.

    Attached message preview used to open next to the email, now it takes up the whole screen.
    I prefer the old way.

    Messages are greyed out, but the message you are viewing is also grey.

    I can't…

  9. Make "Unread Mail" one of the categories.

    Make "Unread Mail" one of the categories. The current default categories only show mail in the inbox, not in the folders. I have setup filters to have mail automatically go to folders based on who the sender is, so much of the mail is missing. The Unread search folder shows them all at once and makes it easy to delete mail I don't need to read. Without that shortcut, I will have to go back to the old Yahoo mail setup. Please make "Unread Mail" one of the categories!! And make the categories customizable. Thank you.

  10. Make the shortcut to delete the email you're writing UNDOable and harder to trigger

    I REALLY HATE that you have a keyboard shortcut that deletes the email your WRITING with NO chance to undelete it. I clicked the delete/backspace key, and if my comp shift/ctrl sticks at all then it's just gone. Horrible. At least send it to the trash where you can undelete the thing. Not even an 'undo' that I saw. Tried ctrl z. Arg!!

  11. Switching easier between inboxes and accounts

    Fancier but harder to use. I want to switch between connected inboxes with just one click (like the old view) but now, I have to click on my username on the bottom left and then click on the inbox. Also, I want to be able to switch to other accounts more easily (like before) but now, I have to click on my account icon at the top right and then click on "add or switch accounts" then click on the account. Make it easier please as before, not just sleek and fancy.

  12. Unread

    The menu under "compose", I'd like to be able to arrange them myself by dragging and releasing. I'd like to be able to click on Unread instead of having to click on the 3 dots to expand to get to it, Every time.

    PLEASE put the number of drafts remaining unsent next to the 'draft' folder title. Also, don't make me look for the trash & spam folders. Have them in plain sight on the sidebar for quick access.

  14. new yahoo mail glitchy

    The new yahoo seems glitchy. When I click a box for an email, the box flies across the screen but doesnt end up checking the box. So then I have to check it again, and it may fly across the screen again, so I have to click the box again. Eventually I am able to successfully choose the email I clicked on.

  15. Be able to have all inboxes on the side like it is now.

    Please allow me to see all inboxes I have linked on the side like it is now. It is the only reason I am NOT using the new inbox and if you dare change it, I will seriously consider using a new primary email app for the first time in 15 years. I don't want to click an arrow button to reveal them. I was all my inboxes listed plain and simple. If you do not, I will give you hll until you turn it back.

  16. Allow for left bar items to be added, removed, moved in the new UI (10.2024).

    I prefer to have the Spam folder right under Inbox. Now I have to click the 3 dots at the bottom before selecting Spam. I find it more useful to have the option to choose what to display from the start.

  17. Highlight unread emails more emphatically as you can't tell the difference. Also allow emails to fill the entire screen.

    I really do NOT like the looks of the new Yahoo email. It is tough to tell new messages from old and there is no apparent way to have the emails go across the entire screen. Suggest background change as option for users and the ability to minimize the rectangle to the right of the emails, allowing the emails to fill the screen.

  18. Sort The SENT BOX BY RECIPIENT

    Hi - I LOVE THE NEW interface - My idea is : I would like you to put a SORT option on the SENT folder - SORT BY RECIPIENT - Please do this one - when I want to delete sent messages I have to scroll through them all to find the people I just do not want to keep.

  20. Filters

    How about adding a tool that sots filters alphabetically by filter names. Having to manually reorder them is wat too time consuming. If a user has filters with hierarchical issues, those could be manually moved afterwards if they decided to use the feature.
