  1. Bring back showing each email account

    Bring back the sidebar showing each email account on Yahoo. With the new version, one has to click on My Account and then select each email account to view. Before, each email account was shown on the sidebar and would show how many unread emails in each account.

  2. For mail filters, reinstate Inbox as a folder for destination

    For mail filters, reinstate Inbox as a folder for destination. This lets me be certain that some emails do not go to the Junk or Spam folder. I know you say that all I have to do is mark the email as not spam, but that doesn't work all the time. I've missed very important emails because several came through, but the most important one wound up in Junk. Please help me prevent this, just like I used to be able to do.

  4. Highlight selected email

    It would be helpful to differentiate the email I'm currently on much like it's easy to differentiate between Read and Unread emails. The new version puts a small sliver of my theme color next to the email I have open but it's too easy to miss it in the list of emails as you scroll through them.

  6. Your folder system is the worst!

    Tru=ying to save an e-mail from teh inbox to a folder is a nightmare. I just lost an e-mail because it went somewhere. Can't drop and drag and when I try to get to the subfolder it won't let me. Just junk. Used to be easy.

  8. 1) Show the latest emails on top when it is part of previous email string or response. 2) The attchements get disappeared during when I send

    I am your paid customer and have been using Yahoo Mail since 1993, but your service need attention which is not User friendly now.
    1) How do you see the latest email on TOP, so your customers don't have to spend time scrolling down? This should be logical, but your email keeps the OLD on top which is annoying.
    2) My attachment disappears after I respond to the original email. This is also annoying and waste my time.
    Previous version of your Yahoo Mail did not have these problems.

  9. page load only 25/50 emails at a time

    For someone who gets a lot of emails, it is difficult to manage when all 1000 emails load at once.
    Would be nice if it could be set to show 50 emails per page, like Gmail.

  11. make it more clear how to expand/contract left hand side navigation

    hello, somehow i managed to contract the navigation on my account today and it took me a good while to discover how to expand it back.
    maybe put an on/off switch at the bottom somewhere?

  12. Yahoo! Mail

    I recently transitioned to Yahoo! Mail from Xfinity (Comcast.net). While I like many of the the new features and security controls, I do not like the readability aspect of the inbox page and when I open an email.

    I cannot easily slide the left inbox or right preview panes to enlarge the primary read pane. The top navigation row w/featured tabs row below scrunches the read pane into a smaller box. There is no easily accessible settings icon (gear symbol) on the main pg. to quickly change views/privacy controls/etc.

    Please consider making the upper row portions of the mail using…

  14. The Trash vs Mark as Spam moves back and forth and creates problems

    I've been accidently marking many emails as spam because the links accessed by my cursor arrow keep moving back and forth inbetween emails.

    Can we keep those click options from moving/stay in one place? will really help move through emails more quickly without inadvertant SPAM designations. Does this make sense?

  16. Lower top icons plus allow starring in list view.

    I am struggling to see the top of the page in Samsung browser (on my Galaxy S7 FE). Specifically my icon in order to log out.
    Can you move it down a few centimetres please?

    I'd like to able to star items from the list as before, rather than going into each one.

    Also, it can't tell what's open. But it looks as though you are on to that problem already.

    Thanks

  17. Make email search functional

    When I use sort by sender name, it doesn't work. emails from Allstate are mixed in with Robinhood and Zacks. Please make this actually sort by sender.

    Also give an option to exclude images. It provides no value and makes the navigation more cluttered.

  20. move the dialog box 1/2 inch higher

    When I delete an email, a little dialog box appears telling me that the message was deleted (moved, etc). Perfect. Love that! But the box appears right over the task bar and as I move on the delete the next email, the dialog box is right over the trash can... so I either have to x out the dialog box (which is an extra step every time) or wait until the dialog box disappears (which slows me down). If the box was like 1/2 inch higher... it would be perfect! thanks.
