  1. double spacing instead of single spacing

    This is still related to composing email having extra spaces between lines. It looks like double-spacing between lines on email -- when you get to the end of the line, the email goes to the next line but has extra space between the 2 lines. I've tried all the fonts possible. I'm thinking maybe the new yahoo email adds extra space either before or after a line. When I'm in a Word document, I select paragraph 'single, no space before and no space after. That is perfect. And it used to apply in the old yahoo email. When I view…

  2. joined date

    Dear Yahoo Mail Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am a long-time user of Yahoo Mail and have appreciated the platform's features and reliability over the years. However, I have noticed that the joined date feature, which previously allowed users to view the date they created their Yahoo Mail account, is no longer available.

    This feature was incredibly useful for tracking account history and providing a sense of personal milestone for users like myself. Its removal has made it difficult to access this information, which I relied on to recall when I first joined your service.

    I…

  4. Search by Name:

    Search by Name: It would be helpful to return to the search option where we can view the previous and sent messages for the email I'm looking for.

  5. unread options do no allow for bulk actions, they either contain all read inbox messages or all unread sent messages

    Your two unread options are now very confusing. Selecting for unread in the main view shows even the read emails from the inbox. Adding the required two extra mouse strokes to get to the "unread" folder under the 3 dots now also includes every unread "sent" email that I've accumulated from at least the last 10 years and who knows what else further down the view and cannot do a bulk "mark as read" but have to singly select all of the new ones, instead of unselect the specific ones that aren't junk that I need to read.

  7. After search I cannot sort between all, sent, received

    Older version had the option after searching for someone's email; I could sort them into all, received or sent.

  9. Being able to narrow the search tool to specific folders like the inbox

    Bring back the search feature, which allows you to narrow your search to just the inbox, instead of all the folders. Much easier and quicker than having to search through files that have already been moved to specific folders.

  12. Sort Problems

    The removal of the spy glass feature has made it difficult to clean out my mailbox. I see that you can sort by sender from the dropdown box. However, this does not enable you to focus on one particular sender. I don't want to see all senders alphabetically and have to scroll down to find a particular one. Please fix this. My inbox is a mess.

  14. mark as read for ALL unread email, not just what is showing

    I want to periodically be able to select ALL unread messages (even those that do not show) and mark them as read. I have thousands and need to restart.

  15. Create a possibility fo filter by name "send to"

    Dans ma Yahoo Mailbox, j'ai des dossiers mémorisés par sujets (p.ex. Vacances). Je peux y trouver les mails par ordre chronologique. Je trouve également facilement d'un simple coup d'oeil de qui j'ai reçus les mails. Par contre, ceux que j'ai envoyés moi-même, apparaissenst avec l'indication "moi". Mais si veux chercher tous les mails que j'ai envoyé à une personne XY, je n'ai pas de filtre pour le faire. N'est-il pas possible d'ajouter une colonne "envoyé à" ?

  16. Search returns irrelevant documents

    It is often the case that search returns irrelevant documents because the query gets aggressively expanded. For example, I recently searched for "Tri-ad", and I got back results without the word tri-ad, but with the words "trial", "tried", or "tricks". This kind of thing happens to me all the time - I'll enter a very specific query, and get back a lot of irrelevant messages - please dial-down the query expansion and spell correction settings for search! - LuVogt
