  2. SEARCH and/or Sort

    I am new from transfer from Comcast, that had excellent email sort by (column: name, date, etc) options. I cannot find any such capability on Yahoo. The need is to search by SENDER, etec., so I can see my emails, select the ones I do not want in that group, and delete them. I realize Yahoo sells storage, but this necessary to manage and delete old emails.

  4. Sort by sender

    Why can't I 'sort" by sender? I want to sort my inbox in order by sender so I can easily see all the emails from one person/sender and review/delete quickly

  14. functional search engine with easy navigation

    As a long-time Yahoo Mail user, I would like to point out that with the latest version of this mail I have a problem with searching for emails by sender name.
    I don't get what I need at all and like it was in the previous version.

    When I select to see an email from a specific name, I don't get just the name I need, but all possible emails sent by others. It completely blocks my quick browsing and selection activities.

    Please show me a solution.

  16. Storage -- Dark Pattern UX

    It should be a given that an email provider gives a user a way to sort by size of the email. With the new storage limit, it seems like you've neglected this critical feature in an attempt to get users to purchase storage from you. It doesn't appear in my inbox, even on desktop, and doesn't even appear in the "helpful" options you provide to manage storage. As a long time yahoo user, I am floored by this dark pattern.

  17. Sort by Sender

    Need to be able to sort by SENDER!
    You've taken this away in the previous version AND in the new version
    This is a NECESSARY sort as you can then sort then do what you want with them as a Group!
    As it is now, there is no way to sort by sender at all (that anyone can find).

  19. Searching for (messages) by sender, or by subject

    In the old email, there is a circle next to the sender, when you click on that circle, ALL email from that sender appears. You can do the same with subject. There is no need to retype any of that information. It was much easier.

  20. 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?
