  1. 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.

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. feedback

    I thought this was for feedback. No category. I like some things about the new configuration and somethings are very annoying and I do not like them:

    *after deleting an email, it goes back to top and I have to scroll down to find where I was; so annoying
    *why is the spam box hiding; hate that
    *also saving a signature that has been updated does not show up (like it used to) unless you close Yahoo and reopen
    *even though I click on ALL, it keeps returning to PRIMARY. Grrr!!! NO!

  9. Differentiating Open Vs Unopen Emails + Bulk Delete and Block Spam

    I see you have already included this, which I am thrilled about, but differentiating more clearly between opened and unopened email is REALLY important to me. The opened emails are both hard to differentiate to my eyes colorwise- the gray is harder to make out, and frankly, it's unsightly. I look forward to being able to see this more clearly.

    It's not navigation, but... I haven't had a chance to check, but my only known annoyance with the old email was that it seemed like a hassle to bulk delete and bulk block spam senders, if that was easier to…

  11. New layout

    Please allow old layout back! Not all devices are mobile defices! New layout is far less productive for PC users! I need to see all my mailboxes (accounts) at once as it was before!

  12. "Enable Auto-Advance"

    I absolutely HATE THIS!!!! The directions on how to turn this off do not line up with what is in my settings folder. Very frustrating!!!! It makes me want to close my yahoo mail box for good.

  13. spam folder rules

    I don't get the new spam folder config. It appears to be a randomly selected set of e-mails, no different from plenty of messages in my in box, INCLUDING IMPORTANT ONES I WANT TO RECEIVE, plus it's hidden behind an additional layer to get to spam and check it, which I now have to do often. I would like to be able to disable the spam filter as it is worse than useless.

  14. cursor keys

    Something I hate about the new email inbox is that it does not allow you to use the cursor keys to scroll through you emails. The only way to scroll is to use the wheel on the mouse which can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome because unfortunately I get a lot of emails. I have heard from users of other mail systems like Gmail blocking more spam messages, but that's another story. I would like for Yahoo to bring back the ability to scroll through your emails with the cursor keys.

  15. Customisable Mail Folders

    Great new design indeed, congrats. The only thing I miss from the older version is the ability to see all my folders at once - yes, in that left column. I do not need that "Starred" folder at all, to be honest. Instead I'd love to have my folders customisable - as, for example. I frequently address Archive and Spam.

    Even more kudos if you'll make it available.

  16. send button

    PLEASE change the "send" button location so we don't have to use "full screen mode" just to see or use it. It's a pain to keep changing from normal to full screen just to send an email..... I'm thinking about just going back to "the old yahoo email".. it was much more user friendly.

    The unread menu option cannot be operated as it gets hidden in the upper portion of the web page after clicking the ... dots on left side of the web page. This is creating dissatisfaction and stress in browsing. Please look into the matter.

  19. While reading Unread messages, Mail goes to the wrong message if I press Shift+K

    I'm reading Unread messages. I've scrolled down to mid-July (it's now September 8). If I press Shift+K to mark a message as Read, Mail should then display the next or previous unread message. It does not.

    Instead, Mail displays the very first message in my Inbox which, having just arrived, is unread. But Mail shouldn't go back to the beginning of my Inbox unless I was already at that location in my Inbox.

  20. ui issues on computer (since update)

    Navigation and Compose issues on UI of computer use of yahoo mail. (using Chrome) I composed an email, but could not access a send button (even using tab and sliders).
    While looking at email in my inbox, I cannot access the trash and other options at the top of the page because the search button is overlaid.
    Hope you can help. Thanks.
