  1. keep emails from same person separated

    Reply / forward - keep emails separated. They are all jumbled together and nothing is in order. Hate this format of email. And show them all - no one knows what I prioritize but me.

  4. Auto Fill in Email

    I absolutely HATE the autofill feature when trying to write in the email when replying / forwarding emails. It totally replaces what I'm trying to write with completely nonsensical information.

  6. Expand email filter functionalities

    Hi,

    Would it be possible to consider adding more filter rules to inboxes? Moving emails to other folders is great and all, but it would be even better f we could have other features such as auto-marking emails as read, auto-forwarding emails based on the filter rules, etc.

    Most other email providers (Outlook, GMail) already have these features and more set in place.

    Thanks,

    André

  7. Tabbing to next option or field is in wrong order

    When I forward an email, it starts my cursor in the To field. But when I hit tab -- expecting to go to the body of the message -- it goes to CC and BCC but then goes to the Yahoo Mail logo in the left corner. Next it goes to Search, Advanced, etc. It should go to the body as that would be my most likely next area I want to type.

  9. Attachment when replying

    I do not like that the e-mail is attached to a previous e-mail, even with a different subject. It confuses the recipient. And sometimes he can not find the attachment

  13. Organizing emails in a more orderly fashion

    I really dislike the way email chains are shown. If I am trying to respond to someone who has responded to me, my reply doesn't always go at the top. When looking at an email chain, it doesn't always display in chronological order so it makes it really difficult to read through the chain. I have outlook at work and it is some much easier, I reply , they reply and its all in order. Plus they don't combine all the emails in to one. The new look of the whole email is really difficult, it was better before you…

  14. Go back to original message after reply

    Go back to original message after reply. Right now it is going back to the previous message (one message before).

  15. Update Reply Indentation Formatting

    It would be great if we could disable the indentation in replies for both the website and mobile app. The way Outlook handles previous messages with a dividing line is much easier to read after multiple replies. Thanks.
