  2. removing list of folders was stupid - bring back folder visibility

    What is the point of being able to drag and drop into folders if you can't see all your folders in the "New" Yahoo? Give the ability to see the list of folders without having to switch to "Old" Yahoo.

  3. Viewing QR codes inside email

    Try not to block downloading and showing photos and QR codes inside emails. Some of them are useful! Or, leave it to the user to enable showing them when opening an email, like Outlook does.
    I have tried all the settings in your system, but could not make it work.
    I might remove this account from here and stick to the Gmail one. At least that one never disappointed me!

  4. Scrolling with Up/Down arrows and Page up/down keys

    My Up/Down arrow and Page Up/Down sometime scroll, but not always. What do I have to do to always have those functions operate? It would sure make reading my emails on Yahoo a whole lot easier, instead of frustrating.

    Thank you very much!

  5. deleting more than one spam/trash at a time when box to check all is just gone to never never land

    Why do you have to delete spam and trash one at a time. The box at the top of the file to check all and then delete just falls off the face of the earth and is just GONE. I'm thinking I just need to go with gmail even though I have stuck with yahoo since the beginning of time.

  6. Make the up/down arrow ACTUALLY scroll up and down!

    Sadly, the up/down arrow does NOT scroll up and down now. Scrolling in a message remains impossible, and unless this is fixed the new Yahoo Mail will remain unusable.

  8. What Options I can or cannot change and where to go to make changes is the problem.

    I wish that I could customize yahoo mail in an easier way. The options are scattered on so many pages. Its too hard to find out what I cannot change or disable.

  9. Messages

    When I read a message from my Inbox, then X out of it, where does it go?
    I'd like to finish messages later but they disappear.
    Why doesn't the message stay in my Inbox as with Classic Email?

  11. settings

    STOP changing my preferences. I look at my email and do not see my emails. I have to keep changing preferences to ALL so I can see what I want. Yahoo does not know what priority is. YAHOO inserted ads are not a priority those should go to spam folder.

    When I change my settings to see emails only from a sender, newest first or anything else I have to keep changing my settings. Please let me choose what settings I want and keep it that way.

  12. My question and problem are not in your files.

    Why do some new messages show up in the IN file and others, often from the same person, show up in the UNREAD file? What determines that splitup?

    Interestingly, if one reads a message in the UNREAD file and leaves that file for a moment, and then comes back, the message will be gone, obviously, because it has now been read. However, one cannot find that original message anywhere else: not in the spam folder and not even in the trash. It has been vaporized!!

  13. All photos or attachments

    Whoever forced this visual change is making me leave yahoo. I have ONLY used yahoo since my first ever email as a kid and now I've had enough. I liked the old email look and NEVER agreed to an update. There was once an option to go back and I did, however that was temporary and it eventually changed to the updated look. I want to be able to see all attachments and photos in my email and that is completely gone. Whoever proposed this change at yahoo is a ******* idiot. Humans are creatures of habit, sometimes we dont…

  16. move settings button to more intuitive location

    The three dots button to access settings and such is in a non-intuitive place. I spent quite a while trying to find my settings and only clicked on that because it was the last place it could possibly be. It looks like it is just there at the bottom of the folders list to abbreviate the list of folders. Also, it doesn't look like a menu button. Use a word or a hamburger button, those are standard and everyone knows what they are. And for goodness sake! Use standard placement. Don't try to be clever. That's how you end up…

  17. Bug: Mail subject lines are truncated prematurely

    I think there is a bug in how message subject lines are truncated. Yahoo Mail switched to the new theme this morning and now some arbitrary subject lines are truncated prematurely. Also, there's a lot more gray text like in folder names which is harder to read.

    Unfortunately I don't see a way to attach a screenshot of either of these issues. I uploaded a screenshot of the subject line issue to https://i.imgur.com/8AVNWYM.png

    You can see in the first subject line it is truncated prematurely. It should say "Mister is missing" but instead it says "Mister is missi...". There are…

  18. Did not see what I was looking for

    Three things:
    1) skips/jumps and jitters when scrolling - not smooth
    2) sometimes returns to a different set of messages after reading the message, not the one you selected to read
    3) sometimes jumps down two screens of messages when scrolling - very annoying

    The new Type, Format, and presentation are so confusing to me, and the colorful icons on each message are extremely distracting! I feel lost, in my own inbox. WHY WAS THE OLD FORMAT CHANGED WITHOUT GIVING US A CHOICE?
