  1. Fix "unread" because it doesnt ******* work

    If I look in the "inbox" I can see recently received emails that are unread dated 21st may but if I select the "UNREAD" folder there are no unread emails received since the 18th.

    It doesn't matter how many times I switch between the inbox and unread folder it just doesnt show them.

    I have dozens of different folders and mail is directed to folders using the filters so when your "unread" selection doesnt work I can easily miss a critically important email.

  2. Search is slow

    When moving an email from inbox to another folder, the search feature is very very slow which results in the search results ( in this case folders ) not matching the search criteria.

  4. Exclude folders from search

    when searching for mails, often we need to exclude some mails from being listed, so that we can easily select all the mails and delete them. So if we have one folder that can store mails that will not figure out in search, then we can move all the mails, which we dont want to delete , into this folder and then do search and delete easily. Else these mails, will figure in each search , again and again, and we have to take efforts to exclude these mails from deletion. Any other solution to overcome the issue is welcome,…

  5. Instructions on how to do something in your account!

    The search in the account will not bring up "Domain Blocking". All of Yahoo's help articles provide the wrong instructions. There is NO "Gear Icon", there is no "Privacy and Security" section. They are 2 separate sections and Block Doman is not under either section. It horrible that the "Search" in my account can't even bring up the "Domain Blocking" section, it just sits in whatever section (privacy or security) that I bring up.

  7. Search results with 2 emails at the top

    I dislike how there are 2 boxes showing some likely emails that I searching for and I cannot collapse them or get rid of them from the top. it is too large and it takes up space to a point the list of other emails in the search is like showing 3-5 rows. Please show me how to remove it as it is not helpful at all.

  8. display tally of emails on search by sender/recipient

    20 years ago, yahoo listed on the left panel each sender/recipient on a search. this allowed a filter to then go into the sender/recipient for the search topic. sometimes you do a search without remembering the sender/recipient that you needed to contact. this was immensely useful! BRING IT BACK!

  9. make email search results unlimited

    presently, the search command returns only the most recent emails. many times we want to view a historical record from years ago to present or need a complete record of interactions. the way it is can be extremely frustrating!

  10. put Keyword back into the Search function

    Put Keyword back into the Search function. I'm looking for a bill and I have the dollar amount. If I could search on the dollar amount I could find the bill. Sender and date are pretty much useless in this case

  12. Remove intrusive search preview

    When key word searching in mail and hit enter, sometimes/usually there is LARGE boxes that link to specific emails that are I assume the most recent of the most relevant to your search that show up at the top of the mailbox. Please remove that feature or allow a clear way to dismiss this suggestion. If the suggestion is not what you're looking for, and you don't have the window full screened, the suggestions will take up most of the mailbox blocking the view and impeding of the act of searching for what you're looking for.

  15. Searching Mail Folder

    We can search what is only in the SENT Folder. When I select search for the INBOX folder I only want to see what is in my INBOX folder not what is in any other folder. You include emails in other folders that in the INBOX folder in that search. That makes no sense.

  17. Search by Custom Dates

    There is no easy way to enter custom dates for search in Yahoo Mail. The only option I see is jump by a month. Ideally one should be able to select a year then month and the date. I try to enter the date which is accepted by the field however it does not get selected! This is the most basic way all websites allow date selection.

  19. Keep inbox in the same place it was when you opened a search window

    When you close a search window, please bring the user back to wherever in their inbox they initiated the search, rather than the top of their inbox. It is very frustrating when you are, for example, 100 messages into your inbox, click search, then close the search window and end up at the top of your inbox and you have to scroll back to where you want to be. The previous version of Yahoo brought you back to where you were in your inbox when you initiated the search, not to the top of your inbox.

  20. SEARCH IN BODY OF EMAIL

    SEARCH IN BODY OF EMAIL... IIRC, the old Yahoo Mail allowed you to search not just for words in the title, but also in the body of the email. The new Yahoo email appears to only allow searching for words in the title of the email.

    Can we go back to the old way?
