  1. Current Open Email Indicator Bar

    When i am reading my emails with my inbox or folder on the left and the email on the right of the screen, the only indicator on the left in the list of emails of which one I am currently reading is a small, slim purple bar on the right of the email subject and first line card. This little purple bar gets partially covered by the scroll up and down bar when not hovering over it and is completely covered by it if you start using the scroll bar. My preference would be that you make the purple bar…

  2. When I click Mail, my mail should load

    Over the last week, I've had about a 30% success rate in getting my mail inbox to load (I'm on Chrome browser on a Macbook). Most of the time it opens a new tab, the header loads and underneath that is just blank.

  3. Select All checkbox behavior

    For the select all messages checkbox, i think it would be nicer if it would uncheck/unselect everything if there is already at least one item checked - similar to gmail's select all checkbox.

    Enable a more compressed screen layout with more messages per page.

    Enable selection of "starred" directly on the inbox page.

    Enable selection of "unread" for deletion by time frame..

  5. I want the old Yahoo back

    I really hate this new version. For example, it is impossible to copy an email address when I want to use it on another platform. Previously, one could put it as the recipient of an email, click on it, and both the name and the email address could be copied.

  6. Conversation Viewing

    When selecting a conversation it would be nice to see the last 2 messages, as opposed to just the last 1. This is especially true when I'm the last to reply in a conversation. I want to be able to easily view the message I've replied to.

  7. Improve Mail Switching & Add Refresh Button

    When I switch from one Yahoo Mail account to another, the inbox often shows an error or doesn't load properly. I have to manually refresh the page every time to see my emails. Also, it's not clear how to refresh the inbox because there is no visible Refresh button. Please fix the account switching issue and add a dedicated Refresh button so users can easily reload their inbox without refreshing the entire page.

  8. Trouble with folders

    When mousing between folders I often will get a little pop up with the folder's name. I don't think it is necessary, as we can see the name of the folder already. I also quite frequently will get that pop up frozen on my screen for multiple folders, creating visual clutter. I believe the latter is a glitch.

  9. Deleting Multiple Contacts at the Same Time

    Need the ability to mass delete contacts.
    Need the ability to delete en masse contacts.
    Need the ability to delete multiple contacts all at the same time
    This is not rocket science. The new format is not that friendly when it comes to maintenance like this.

  10. Send From Username

    In order to get to the Settings to change my username, the user has to go to the Mailbox settings to do so. This process is cumbersome and takes far too much time. Please consider having all settings everywhere in one scrollable page.

    The old style of Yahoo is very good and popular,,, The new style of Yahoo is very cramped, with many ads on the sides and it is extremely difficult to access it and follow the desired pages,,, If I am not allowed to use the old Yahoo system, I will give up Yahoo, I have talked to a few dozen friends, and they will do the same,,,

  12. Feedback Comment Only

    I don't have an idea, just feedback. My email account migrated from Comcast.net. I find it very difficult to manage and organize my messages by folder structure in the Yahoo email exchange. I save a lot of specific messages and I have a complex folder structure in my account. In Yahoo's email tools, it is very difficult for me to access my folders. The task of browsing to and finding my folders is very cumbersome. The email tool is very touching and "jumps" out frequently, causing me to start all over again. For these reasons, I have chosen to leave…

    1. Some of the frequently used functions (like Archive, Move, Print, etc.) which used to be horizontally with Delete, etc. have now been moved under 3 dots requiring 2 clicks to move a message between folders. WHY? Whose idea is this?
    2. There used to be clear separation between Yesterdays's and Today's emails; that separation disappeared. WHY? Looks like you don't have any User Interface guys; only programmers who have nothing else to do other than messing up which is already working fine and everybody got used to. I'm seriously thinking of moving to Gmail if you keep doing this....

  17. Horizontal scroll bar at the bottom missing

    For a wide email content, horizontal scroll bar must exist at the bottom. It is very inconvenient to navigate while reading the content without that. By the way, there is no option to attach screenshot of the issue here

  18. Leave the email icon alone!

    Moving the mouse over the list of emails, and perhaps more annoyingly it just being left there, highlights a line, which should be more than enough, but also pointlessly replaces the email icon with a useless magnifying glass, except for GitHub notifications. Navigating up and down using the keyboard does the same highlight plus a fairly gauche extra border, but leaves the icon alone, as it should. I often look for a particular green icon, and end up missing one because the mouse pointer happened to be "inadvertently somewhere on screen", very irritating.

  19. Tooltips are Broken

    Tooltips pop-ups are getting in the way of navigation. The tooltips are popping up way too quickly. I go to click on a folder, and I can't because the tooltip is already up and blocking it. Please slow down the tooltips. We should need to hover for a few seconds before the tooltip appears. I keep getting thwarted by these.

  20. Decrease in display view of Email content

    I am unable to navigate to the email content as view is very obstructive and unable to see anything at all, not even able to the read the text of the content intended as received. Scrolling is available but content of email is not shown it just scroll down, viewing should available in all type of viewing preferences of the user. need improvement here, please.
