  1. Tab back to the top of the Inbox

    In the previous Yahoo Mail, there was a very useful square with an upward pointing arrow that when clicked would change the view of your inbox so that you would be viewing it from the top! Please bring that back! It is very useful. Especially now with all of the inbox filters, I need a way to quickly get back to the top of my inbox (keeping whatever filters I am currently using).

  5. REMOVE External images are now more secure, and shown by default. tooltip

    Please remove the External images are now more secure, and shown by default. tooltip it's blocking my limited view of emails.

    Whatever team of monkeys tested this feature failed to note that it is A) Not Working and B) Constantly blocking email content and not allowing me to view my emails on Desktop. It's also impossible to remove.

    Steps to repro: In a new yahoo account with the all settings to default receive a few emails with attachments. Change the Show images in messages option to Ask before showing.

  6. moving new emails to saved folders

    Not as easy to drop your new messages into a saved folder. You now have to drag it onto the folder and wait until you s c r o l l down to the correct folder. Go back to the all your saved folders along the left hand panel so you see more at one time. Or, make the pop up folder a much longer window....to make it easier to find the correct folder.

  7. highlight currently reading

    Highlight the email that I am currently reading so when I back out to Inbox I can see which one I just looked at and know where I left off. Can be confusing when you have several emails from one sender.

  9. Navigation

    I HATE the new Yahoo Mail!! I think it's harder to navigate, harder to delete some information, information isn't right at my fingertips, I feel like it's taking me backwards instead of being able to progress quickly. It's definitely not a step in the right direction. I don't want it!

  12. too much screen used!

    I don't like the new format, it uses too much screen, I don't see as much as I used to. Also, the search bar is sitting on top of the tool bar. When I use the check boxes, to delete multiple emails, the search box is on top of the tool bar with the trash can on it. I am using Chrome.

  13. Desktop Lefthand Nav: Spam and Trash Folders Hard to Find with Large Folder List

    I have a large number of folders, which I like to keep expanded for easy access. However, when the folder list is expanded, the "..." option that reveals links to the 'spam', 'trash', and 'archive' folders is not easily found. It is only revealed when I scroll all the way to the bottom of the folder list. As a result, it takes several steps to view those folders. These important folders (and other features on that menu) should be more accessible.

    I suggest moving the "..." menu button from its present location to the space just above the folder list.…

  14. 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…

  15. only show subject line on emails - do not show body of email

    I don't like the full email in my inbox. The subject line is good enough especially if I am using the preview pane. I feel this needs to be updated.

  17. new layout too much space in compact mode

    The older version was easier to navigate, and more compact. YES, I did choose compact mode. :((
    As a desktop user, this is NOT an improvement. Also wastes space at top by having a bubble at the top for the first email above the list.... on a scale of 5, I rate this change as a 2... Going to "settings" --- IT NEVER LOADS, I waited over 3 minutes.

  18. display list of emails in compact mode

    Could it be possible to get possibility to display the list of emails through different sizes => compact, normal, large (for instance) ?
    On my side I like to have possibility to see a maximum of emails lines on my screen, and with this new version the number of emails displayed is very limited in my point of view.

  20. Mail selection is completely broken

    With the new infinite scroll and separated views, the ability to select mail is broken. When a new scroll occurs sometimes checks are added or when bulk selected, emails that were not selected will still end up being selected and end up being moved to trash. This happens to me every day
