  1. "Search for messages from this Sender"

    Keep the "Search for messages from this Sender" feature. Its extremely helpful to find messages from the same sender/group across dates either to use them or to simply delete them all and free up space.

  2. Make sort by size available in the basic Yahoo

    Make sort by size available in the basic Yahoo email - it is a questionable practice that you don't offer this in the other email versions. Your attempt to up-sell as you reduce the basic space allowed, while hiding the tool, is not cool.

  3. turn off package tracker when searching.

    showing the package tracker is immensely hindering. it consumes most of the screen making it hard to actually find emails. make it so it can be turned off.

  6. Search Results

    Your search results are bad. It doesn't search through all folders, doesn't show all dates, doesn't even do exact matches correctly. Also, when I try to submit feedback, it breaks and says unavailable. Maybe this time it will work.

  7. Search mode

    Be able to search for sender or subject just within a given mail folder. For example, someone (ABC) sends an email and you put it in the XYZ folder -> so be able to search for that ABC sender just in the XYZ folder. The search would be applied to inbox or to any folder but I just want to be able to search in the given XYZ folder only once I am in the XYZ folder.

  9. Search by sender name vs. subject line

    I really like searching by Sender name rather then subject line. Searching by subject line does not pull all the mail from one sender. Can that option be re-instated.

  17. If I do a search on my inbox the option to move to a folder is not there

    Example: I did a search on my inbox for one of my utility companies. I clicked all of the boxes next to the emails I want to move to the folder of the same name. Can't find a way to move them. My options are archive, delete, mark as unread, and mark as spam. Next to that is a menu when you click the three dots ... Mark as unread, star, unstar, block sender. I have gone to the folder itself and right-clicked, and that menu doesn't move any marked emails either. In the old Yahoo mail (which I prefer…

    I am unable to find my contact in Yahoo mail ! I wish there was an easy to access tab on the left panel that would take me to my contacts. This should be an easy fix.
