  2. working window

    This new version still regularly has either the top or the bottom of the window cut off, with no way to scroll. Much of the time, I have to pop out the email that I'm writing in order to have an accessible send button. This new version is a serious step down from the old one, which actually worked.

  4. default mailbox

    Being able to prioritize mailboxes would be nice. I have 4 mail boxes and I'd like to have my main one pop up first.

  5. Problem that's not your fault!

    (Reporting a symptom that seems like a bug in Yahoo mail, but actually has an external cause, so that your support techs are aware of this. Couldn't find any other way to submit this info, so please route appropriately.)

    I was very frustrated when attempting to edit my Contacts list -- the Save and Cancel buttons would not respond to my mouse clicks at all. Turns out that it wasn't caused by anything in the Yahoo window; any item in the lower right corner of the display would not respond. I observed this running Windows 11, and since I use…

  6. filter

    Is this thing working ?

    OK, just in case it IS working, "filtering" should be by "folder'.

    I would likemy INBOX filtered by UNREAD, but my SENT FOLDER, or my DRAFT folder to be ordered by DATE, newest first.

    But what ever order I select for my INBOX, flows through to e, e.g. DRAFTS.

    OBVIOUSLY, NONE of my drafts are UNREAD, so when I click on DRAFTS, I see NOTHING, and am immediately thinking I screwed something up and possibly deleted ALL my DRAFTS by accident.

    Different folders nee different ordering/filters.

  7. Improve navigation

    Two things in Navigating the email are not good in the new version. Firstly the attachment at the top of the email is there, but clicking it doesnt take you to the attachment. This is very cumbersome and makes you scroll down to the end of the email, which if they are very long is very painful.

    Second the Send and attachment bar at the end of the email is not on the screen, its not fixed, and again you have to scroll down to reach it, especially if you are windows are small and you are working in multiple…

  8. UI needs a lot of improvement

    I don't like the Sender icons. Please allow us to hide them. I also need more visible lines dividing the emails in the email list. I saw a tip for keeping the folders expanded, and when the new email interface loads, I briefly see the left navigation showing more details. It looks much more functional, but then it goes away, and hovering on the Inbox edge is not displaying the double arrow, and I haven't been able to resize. Thank goodness I still have the link to go back to the old interface for now.

  9. Navigating in email

    When you are on a note it is not highlighted. After you open to read and click on it to go back, you do not know which email you were looking at to move or delete etc. I have several from the same sender I am looking at with same subject.

    When you click to the right to delete one email, the inbox totally scrolls up to the first email and you have to scroll down to see where you were! Not good. Time consuming!

  10. print icon and scrolling

    I want you to return the print icon to the inbox emails. It is too time consuming to click on "more" then "print" when it was so much easier to just click "print".

    I also don't like how the email scrolls. I have difficulty getting to the bottom to the "send" button. I have difficulty viewing small print and now have to decrease the zoom just to see the bottom of a long email.

  11. Missing links

    You give me no way to access my set emails, my contacts, my trash or my junk emails. I can't fathom how to do any of these. Why do you make this so user unfriendly? WHY?

    If the subject is "optional," why do you insist that i enter something? More nonsense.

  12. Tab back to the top of the Inbox

    In the previous Yahoo Mail, there was a very useful square with an upward pointing arrow that when clicked would change the view of your inbox so that you would be viewing it from the top! Please bring that back! It is very useful. Especially now with all of the inbox filters, I need a way to quickly get back to the top of my inbox (keeping whatever filters I am currently using).

    Please remove the External images are now more secure, and shown by default. tooltip it's blocking my limited view of emails.

    Whatever team of monkeys tested this feature failed to note that it is A) Not Working and B) Constantly blocking email content and not allowing me to view my emails on Desktop. It's also impossible to remove.

    Steps to repro: In a new yahoo account with the all settings to default receive a few emails with attachments. Change the Show images in messages option to Ask before showing.

  17. moving new emails to saved folders

    Not as easy to drop your new messages into a saved folder. You now have to drag it onto the folder and wait until you s c r o l l down to the correct folder. Go back to the all your saved folders along the left hand panel so you see more at one time. Or, make the pop up folder a much longer window....to make it easier to find the correct folder.

  18. highlight currently reading

    Highlight the email that I am currently reading so when I back out to Inbox I can see which one I just looked at and know where I left off. Can be confusing when you have several emails from one sender.

  20. Navigation

    I HATE the new Yahoo Mail!! I think it's harder to navigate, harder to delete some information, information isn't right at my fingertips, I feel like it's taking me backwards instead of being able to progress quickly. It's definitely not a step in the right direction. I don't want it!
