  1. Sort by Sender

    It would be helpful if the inbox and other folders could be sorted by sender to make it easier to delete unwanted messages. I've had this option in the past on other email platforms and it makes it easier to see a sender and know I don't need anything from them and can delete all of their messages. Searching for each possible sender takes a multitude of time and patience and email doesn't get cleaned out as often. Thanks for your consideration.

  3. Failures of the new e mail set up

    This new e mail is very, very, very, frustrating: 1. The type is so much smaller it is hard to read and I cannot figure out how to make it bigger; The new e mail "Priority" setting is stupid! It picks stuff that is not important to me and it omits stuff that is and it switched back and forth randomly. I could go on but this new e mail set up is so difficult I am considering quitting all together!

  5. Sort by Sender

    I have two accounts and I just logged into my second account and I am not able to sort my mail by sender. Why would this differ between accounts. This should always be an option. Please add it back as an option.

  7. see all filters

    I went to Settings, then clicked on Filters in the left panel. And "11 of 500 used" appears at bottom. How do I see all filters? Why is there a limit? When there are unending spammers and scammers.

  8. SORT BY SENDER .......SORT BY SENDER ....SORT BY SENDER...

    I have used yahoo since 2005 and the most useful feature was that I could sort by sender in addition to the other options you now have available. I do not use this feature very often but it is THE BEST feature that you offered and why I never went to another email service. This one feature makes cleaning a breeze. Not having this feature causes me to spend an inordinate amount of time to accomplish the same. Please, please, please bring this feature back. Thank you very much.

  12. Move Confirmation Popup

    When I do an action to the top message in my list without opening the message, like a Delete or Move, the confirmation popup appears almost entirely on top of the next message in my list, making it hard to apply an action to that new top item. Can you move that confirmation pop-up away to an emptier spot?

  14. 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.

  15. 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!!!!!
