  1. How do you search emails from a sender???

    Previous versions of the email SW had a very easy right-click-menu item that would search the emails sent from the selected sender.

    I can't find that functionality in the latest.... WHat am I doing wrong? Seems that it is a very basic function to have?

  2. "Folders," if you really feel you MUST do something.

    If you really insist on doing something new, give us the ability to create folders like Gmail does, especially if I want to save important types of emails without them being in my Inbox.

    Otherwise I like being able to sort multiple ways. Don't EVER get rid of that.

  5. sort by sender

    I can not "sort by sender". That choice does not appear in Preferences although the Help page indicates that it should.

    I have a tremendous number of emails to go through and that would be very helpful. Thanks.

  7. Lost emails

    I am having an issue finding old emails. I cant find anything past 6 months ago and that is a BIG issue. I need my emails and it feels like yahoo just took them and I have no way of finding them. This very disturbing. I don't like it! Help me find my emails please.

  8. "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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  16. 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.
