  1. don't expand folders immediately

    When I want to drag an email into another folder, and that folder has subfolders, the subfolders are expanded instantly. I don't want that.

    Either have a delay before expanding subfolders, or have the subfolders automatically collapse back after dropping the email.

    Otherwise, I have to manually collapse subfolders back into the main folder. That is tedious.

  2. Add “Disable Hover Actions” Setting

    Dear Yahoo Mail Team,

    Please kindly add a “Disable hover actions” setting in the email listing page, similar to the option available in Gmail.

    This feature would play a vital role in my decision to opt in to the new Yahoo Mail interface. Furthermore, it would strongly influence my decision to subscribe to Yahoo Mail Plus, as I will soon be over quota due to the new Yahoo Mail policy.

    Thank you very much in advance for your consideration.

  3. Problem with sorted mails.

    Dear Mr/Mrs,

    I have a Yahooaccount. For me it is incredibly impractical and enormously frustrating that when I have gotten several e-mails from one sender, after a while the mails are stacked up on one another in an own categori instead of ju be listed one after another unindependently of who have sent the mail. I do not like this at all. I want all my mails to be strict in order of date regardless of who have sent them. How should I do to solwe this problem? As it is now I have marked in the settings that i…

  4. Keep the "More" menu fixed at the bottom of the window

    In the new layout, keep the "More" menu fixed at the bottom of the window so you don't need to scroll past all your folders to find it.

  6. Use Thinderbird to access and open emails

    I have to be able to open the emails with Thunderbird. I have to save the emails to my computer so they can be accessed when I don't have internet access. I have to be able to save and search by date. If I can't use Thunderbird, then this email address is completely and totally useless.

  8. Bug: "Move message to folder"

    I select multiple emails, and press "D" to move them to a folder.
    Most of the times, only one of the selected message moves. The rest remain in the inbox.

    Please, test this using multiple ways to multi-select messages:
    - Ctrl + Click
    - Arrows (up/down), then Space to select messages.
    - Select a message, then Shift + Click to select a range of multiple messages.

    Also, while selecting the destination folder, make sure that both Enter and Click works correctly.

    Thanks

  10. Lose the Horizontal Scroll Bars

    Stop making the format so freaking huge that we need horizontal scroll bars. Everything should be on the screen in the maximum window view.

  12. Allow users to edit Folder pane

    My normal process in Yahoo! Mail is to read a new message and store it in a User folder immediately, unless I need to respond. I regularly sort mail into about 10 User folders (out of 25). Ultimately, I'd like to streamilne the Move process.

    The "Move" button / menu at the top of the email reader pane lists the User folders alphabetically. On my browser, I see the first 5.5 folders before I need to scroll. My current workaround is to rename the most common User Folders to start with numbers so they get pushed to the top of…

  15. custom button order

    First I don't need Unsubscribe to stand out when I hover over every message. That feature will be used once a month at most, not for every email. But more so is the issue that Archive is now buried behind the extra ... buttons, even though that is my most used action to an email If you're going to change the order of buttons, then you should provide the option to customize what order I see them in.

  16. Excessive scroll bars

    I have three scroll bars on the right side of my screen when I'm replying to a message. That seems excessive. Also, the "send" button and the rest of the icons "attach" "emoji" "bold" etc. are cut in half until I scroll down with the outermost scroll bar. The only thing it adjusts is the white space just above the subject line. I'm on a 14" laptop, so it isn't like I'm on a tiny screen.

  17. The More options icon should be more easily accessible

    This option is currently shown after the list of folders. I keep my Folders expanded, so it took me a while to realize this, after scrolling to the end of my many folders. For example, move it into the section with Trash/Spam/Archive.

  18. show me my current account name on all mail pages

    I tried the "new" mail layout and found one feature positively missing. I have multiple yahoo email accounts. The new layout absolutely did not display the current account name that I am using. There is no security issue showing me something I had to type into your form just to login. Please ensure the current account name is prominently visible on all mail pages.

  19. Yahoo Need to Post the latest, most recent email on Top when opening the email

    1) Yahoo has failed to show the latest, most recent email on Top when opening the email. This is annoying when there is more than one email in string.

    2) Also, it is painful to go back to see the attachment after responding to original email which has the attachments.

    3)Yahoo needs to take it seriously to support their customers who pay for the email service.

  20. Messages go to spam in spite of marking them as Safe Hundreds of Times or even if Contact exists in Address Book

    The whole idea of Whitelist is missing in Yahoo Mail. In spite of adding a contact email address in the address book or in spite of marking the message as Safe or Not Spam hundreds and hundreds of times, Yahoo still sends messages to Spam.

    The Spam NEEDS TO IMPROVE AT THE EARLIEST TO HONOUR THE ADDRESS BOOK AND NOT SPAM OR SAFE actions.
