  1. Make "Unread Mail" one of the categories.

    Make "Unread Mail" one of the categories. The current default categories only show mail in the inbox, not in the folders. I have setup filters to have mail automatically go to folders based on who the sender is, so much of the mail is missing. The Unread search folder shows them all at once and makes it easy to delete mail I don't need to read. Without that shortcut, I will have to go back to the old Yahoo mail setup. Please make "Unread Mail" one of the categories!! And make the categories customizable. Thank you.

  2. Make the shortcut to delete the email you're writing UNDOable and harder to trigger

    I REALLY HATE that you have a keyboard shortcut that deletes the email your WRITING with NO chance to undelete it. I clicked the delete/backspace key, and if my comp shift/ctrl sticks at all then it's just gone. Horrible. At least send it to the trash where you can undelete the thing. Not even an 'undo' that I saw. Tried ctrl z. Arg!!

  3. Switching easier between inboxes and accounts

    Fancier but harder to use. I want to switch between connected inboxes with just one click (like the old view) but now, I have to click on my username on the bottom left and then click on the inbox. Also, I want to be able to switch to other accounts more easily (like before) but now, I have to click on my account icon at the top right and then click on "add or switch accounts" then click on the account. Make it easier please as before, not just sleek and fancy.

  4. Unread

    The menu under "compose", I'd like to be able to arrange them myself by dragging and releasing. I'd like to be able to click on Unread instead of having to click on the 3 dots to expand to get to it, Every time.

    PLEASE put the number of drafts remaining unsent next to the 'draft' folder title. Also, don't make me look for the trash & spam folders. Have them in plain sight on the sidebar for quick access.

  6. new yahoo mail glitchy

    The new yahoo seems glitchy. When I click a box for an email, the box flies across the screen but doesnt end up checking the box. So then I have to check it again, and it may fly across the screen again, so I have to click the box again. Eventually I am able to successfully choose the email I clicked on.

  7. Be able to have all inboxes on the side like it is now.

    Please allow me to see all inboxes I have linked on the side like it is now. It is the only reason I am NOT using the new inbox and if you dare change it, I will seriously consider using a new primary email app for the first time in 15 years. I don't want to click an arrow button to reveal them. I was all my inboxes listed plain and simple. If you do not, I will give you hll until you turn it back.

  8. Allow for left bar items to be added, removed, moved in the new UI (10.2024).

    I prefer to have the Spam folder right under Inbox. Now I have to click the 3 dots at the bottom before selecting Spam. I find it more useful to have the option to choose what to display from the start.

  9. Highlight unread emails more emphatically as you can't tell the difference. Also allow emails to fill the entire screen.

    I really do NOT like the looks of the new Yahoo email. It is tough to tell new messages from old and there is no apparent way to have the emails go across the entire screen. Suggest background change as option for users and the ability to minimize the rectangle to the right of the emails, allowing the emails to fill the screen.

  10. Sort The SENT BOX BY RECIPIENT

    Hi - I LOVE THE NEW interface - My idea is : I would like you to put a SORT option on the SENT folder - SORT BY RECIPIENT - Please do this one - when I want to delete sent messages I have to scroll through them all to find the people I just do not want to keep.

  12. Filters

    How about adding a tool that sots filters alphabetically by filter names. Having to manually reorder them is wat too time consuming. If a user has filters with hierarchical issues, those could be manually moved afterwards if they decided to use the feature.

  14. My subject has not been previously posted.

    The unread folder is a needless feature. Just put all incoming messages that are not spam into the inbox. The unread folder is too unstable and messages in it are too hard to deal with, especially after they have been read and disappear into the great unknown.

  15. Options to make things more compact

    Right now everything has so much space around it that very little fits on the screen. Can we have options that tighten things up a bit so we can see more without having to scroll.

  17. remove glitch in email

    I think it would be super helpful if your ****** email page doesnt automatically send emails after i try to tab in to start the email. It would probably help if i could choose when to send an email. Very silly big dumb company! IM SURE THIS WILL NEVER GET ADDRESSED!

  18. Keyboard shortcuts to move message to folder

    Keyboard shortcuts to "Move message to Folder" no longer work. We used to have "D[0-9]" (the D key followed by a single number) keystrokes would move message to folders 0 through 9. The "D" key works, but the numbers are gone. Really Yahoo? Is this the best that you can do?

  19. multiselect

    The multiselect is still not working. Clicking on the top email and then scrolling down and clicking shift select doesn't select the right things. If one of the emails between the top and bottom item selected is read, then it only selects from the read message down.

  20. Customize Yahoo mail shortcuts

    It would be nice to add folders that are used that I access quite frequently instead of just the main four
    such as trash or spam
