  1. Yahoo Inboxes are getting confused between mail accounts.

    Yahoo Inboxes are getting confused between mail accounts. Even when I delete one account, the deleted account still opens on my PC. Not happening on my Android. This is very annoying. I've deleted browsing data, cache, cookies, reboot PC. Happens in both Edge and Chrome. Please fix!

  2. PLEASE HIGHLIGHT THE EMAIL YOU ARE CURRENTLY READING

    WHEN I AM GOING THROUGH MY EMAILS, THE SPECIFIC EMAIL I AM CURRENTLY READING OR WORKING IN IS NOT HIGHLIGHTED OR A DIFFERENT COLOR. IT REMAINS GRAYED OUT WHICH MAKES IT BLEND IN WITH OTHER "READ" EMAILS, WHICH IN TURN ALSO MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT AND CONFUSING TO KNOW WHAT EMAIL YOU ARE WORKING WITH OR READING.

    IN ADDITION, THAT RIGHT SIDE VIEW BOX IS A NUISANCE, VERY ANNOYING, AND UNNECESSARY. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHANGE DEFAULT SETTINGS TO NOT HAVE THAT BOX OPEN EVERY TIME YOU OPEN YAHOO MAIL.

    AS AS GENERAL COMMENTARY, THIS NEW VERSION OF YAHOO…

  6. problems w/script on page and unable to use features

    SEVERAL ISSUES W/THE NEW MAILVERSION OVER THE LAST WEEK:
    1. I am unable to to reply directly from an email that I open unless I minimize it. It is like the script is too big (I have not changed anything on my computer) and I can't scroll to the bottom of the original msg to hit send.

    2. the scripts running at the top once I do send an email are overwriting any useable features and I have to keep refreshing the page, I am unable to use the group features at the top of page unless I do so…

  7. Interface design

    In the previous interface, I used more screen space and could see more information without opening emails. Now this is more cumbersome. It seems like folders were also more easily visible.

  8. Filter emails like this

    The original Yahoo Mail had an option to "Filter Emails Like This...."
    The new Yahoo Mail does not.

    Please restore this option on the main page. Thank you.

  9. Add filter option in email header

    In the header there should be an option to define a filter on the sender. Way too cumbersome to set up filters.
    Also it is impossible to register for premium for non-US citizens! It is a recurring problem. Very strange.

  10. left column navigation

    Left column navigation is impossible with new yahoo mail on smaller screens. On a 13" laptop, the left column menu options (inbox, sent, drafts, etc.) become "frozen" since the vertical scroll bar disappears.

  13. search

    Have you noticed that the Search box under "How can we improve the New Yahoo Mail?" has TWO circled X's to clear out the selection? Isn't one of them supposed to START the search? It seems that your Feedback page hasn't been properly tested.

  14. individual email navigation buttons

    Please put the email navigation buttons ABOVE the inbox all the time, as they have been in the past. Having it jump to between the inbox and preview is not helpful.

  16. Managing emails

    The changes to Yahoo Mail are intolerable for me. The only way I can manage my Yahoo Mail account is by using the options you had before, where you can select 40 emails at a time, then click the sideways arrow at the top to move to the next section of 40 older emails, where you have numbers at the top and can move over 40 email sections at a time. Now that you have deleted that functionality and can only scroll downward into infinity, I cannot manage my emails. To think you are trying to charge people now that…

  17. allow moving to different folder via keyboard shortcuts (number keys)

    When an Inbox message is selected/previewed, selecting "Move(D)" and then hitting the appropriate number (1-9) for a destination folder used to move the message to that folder. However, with the new website changes, the number key no longer selects/confirms the destination folder. This removes the efficiency of using the keyboard only for organizing messages. Please return the functionality to its previous state. Make the number keys work again for moving messages.

  18. Filter Patterns

    Please please please add the ability to use patterns for Filter conditions. This pattern could be regex or globs.

    This would simplify the filtering because we wouldn't have to create so many of them.

  20. Move 3 "More" dots to Top

    Move the 3 more dots to the top above folders. I often try to go to Spam or Trash and since I have so many folders, I either have to scroll all the way to the bottom or collapse the folder list.
