  1. expand conversations

    the inbox needs the ability to expand the conversation to show all emails included in it. i don't always want to reply/forward the entire convo to someone i need the ability to quickly be able to navigate to a certain email in the conversation.

  3. ad pops up when i click on email

    Please restore all folders in left rail. Also, I tried to open an email from my local library but every time I clicked it, it opened the ad in the right rail. It was so frustrating. I had to go the email above the one I wanted to open, and then arrow down to the message from my local library.
    I'm thinking if this continues, I'll look at another email service.

  6. Navigation on the main screen on the Desktop version

    For those of us who have multiple email accounts, can you give us the option to show all of the email accounts in the left pane on the main screen instead of having to navigate to each individual mailbox by moving the cursor to the bottom at the email account field, and then sliding to the right to view the other mailboxes. Then if we do have email, we have to slide back up to the proper email account. This would save time. Thanks.

  7. Spellcheck Squiggly Line Errors are too Hard to See in Dark Mode

    Good Afternoon,

    When there is a spellcheck error in the New Yahoo Mail's Dark Mode, it is too hard to see, making it hard to navigate through the message to catch all of the spelling errors

  8. What are you asking for?

    The unread/read categories have really made this platform unworkable and difficult. Now, some of my new messages go the unread folder, but disappear once I open them. I have no idea where to look for them now. Meanwhile, some new messages come into my inbox, as I am accustomed to seeing. How do I make all my new messages go to the inbox?

  9. Add @iCloud.com email account to Yahoo Mail

    Why I can't add my @iCloud.com address to Yahoo Mail?
    I receive an error message about me.com accounts do not support your logins method.

    I can add @icloud.com address to Gmail, Outllok Mobile and others apps for android and iPhone. But Yahoo mail is not one of those.

  10. Improve the design of the left side bar!

    Why would you have the settings hidden and force the user to click the elipses to get to it when you have the entire left margin mostly empty?

    Why not show all the folders there and only fold when there is no space?

    This is user interface design 101.

  11. Multiple line message previews

    Multiple line message previews would be really helpful. The clean compact Inbox look is a nice upgrade, but I wish I could see two lines in the preview and I don't mind scrolling a little more.

  12. Facelift is fine... the only suggestion would be bringing back the cogwheel for settings

    Facelift is fine... the only suggestion would be bringing back the cogwheel for settings instead of hiding it in with the other "other" three dot button. Maybe just but the settings button above the three dots on the left

  13. spam folder button on main menu

    Please put the spam button back on the top-level menu along the left side of the page, like it used to be, rather than buried in a submenu. A fair number of perfectly valid messages wind up in the spam folder. I always check it along with the inbox to avoid missing them, and the new layout adds an extra and un-necessary step to get into the spam folder.

  14. Preview box when I open an e-mail is unnecessary.

    Please do away with the preview box at the top when I open an e-mail. All you're doing is making me have to scroll farther down to see my actual e-mail. Completely unnecessary.

  15. Show more than just Compose, Inbox, Starred, Sent, Drafts, and Folders

    Im on Desktop and the left side has Compose, Inbox, Starred, Sent, Drafts, Folders and "..." to open up a menu with Unread, Archive, Spam, and Trash

    But... why? The six visible options only take up half the vertical length of the screen. The four options that are hidden behind a menu can EASILY EASILY EASILY fit in the remaining space. The "..." menu isn't even needed

    Please fix.

  16. Resurrect top right drop down that was in classic for sorting the mailbox

    This was one of the best features of Yahoo mail and not found on GMail etc. Please restore this option under the categories as well as it allows for quick sorting and handling emails - especially promotional and newsletter categories.
