    Hi there, we do indeed have a way for you to logout of Yahoo Mail. Looking at your Inbox, just hover your mouse over your Profile Icon (top, right hand side) from there you'll see "Sign Out." Thanks!

  2. starred messages

    when checking my starred emails on my desktop computer and being on the second or further page of my messages, the page jumps back to the first page after un-starring a mail (This doesn't happen when I do this on my phone). This is a very annoying problem ...

  6. Star Email option in Email List

    At the moment, I have to open an email before I can star it, which is quite inconvenient. It would be much more efficient if users could star important emails directly from the email list view. I’m not sure why such a basic feature is so difficult to implement, but luckily your team starting to recognize how essential easy access to starred or important emails list is.

    Yes, you can star an email without opening that email. Looking at your Inbox, just hover with your mouse on the right hand side and you'll see icons show up... one of them is the star icon. Thanks!

  7. Return star options

    Please return the easy Star option to each line and on the filter.

  11. Overall "new" format for Mail

    i do not like this format at all. It looks like a kindergarten drawing. I don't like the starred view, and why does "Priority" continue to be checked and on top so that I have to click on All every time? This is just such a bad format, I am seriously considering just cancelling this account.
