  1. The email 'delete' option keeps shifting around.

    The screen setup: Currently in 'preview the current email' mode, where symbols for actions like 'reply', 'forward', and 'delete' appear above the preview area.

    The problem: People who are quickly previewing and deleting emails, one after another, are annoyed by a 'delete' symbol that keeps moving about during the preview&delete process. STOP SHIFTING IT AROUND!

  2. How to UN-BLOCK senders

    Hi,
    I blocked many unwanted senders. By accident I blocked some friends who I would like to un-block. I went to SETTINGS next SECURITY & PRIVECY, I found the email addresses I wanted to unblock and I clicked the TRASH icon. I thought I unblock them. Unfortunately they remind BLOCKED. Please HELP. How do I confirm this UN-BLOCK function?

  5. Delete messages from IN Box that have been moved to a folder

    When I move an email to one of my folders, it continues to show in my IN Box, though it shows as read. Can I change that in settings so that when it is moved, it no longer shows in the IN Box?

  6. Deleting folders automatically when trying to move to a NEW folder?!

    I despise your new email set up from PC. I accidentally deleted very important emails regarding my car purchase trying to select them move to a new folder. i tried renaming the new folder now my emails are not in Trash they are GONE. Very displease with an already obnoxious email set up.

  8. Deleting email from the preview pane

    When deleting an email in the preview pane, I occasionally delete the wrong email if I click on the trash can at the "wrong" time. That "wrong" time is when new email arrives and pushes the list down by however many emails are posted in the preview pane at that time. Thus, if 2 emails arrive just as I click on the trash can, I end up deleting the email that is 2 spots above the one I intended to delete. This is greatly annoying as I receive 300-400 emails a day and now have to go to the Trash…

  9. Can't DElete

    Why the **** isn't delete working for removing trash and spam? Every new "improvement" does nothing but cause more problems. What happened to being able to bring up a menu of all of the mail options, select trash or spam and click on delete and have it gone This whole thing is an incredible mess. Go back to the old one

  10. select today for delete all

    Why would you take out the option to have a button to select all in order to delele several emails at once. You use to be able to separate your emails by day and week, then be able to delete them all at once. Now you force us to delete each email one at a time. it is very time consuming. If you did this to force us to pay for your subscription in order to have this feature, then you may have just found a way to lose your members and go to another provider. Or at least just…

    Please remove the pop-up "Message Deleted" within emails. It's not helpful when going through email and needing to delete quickly.

  12. restore deleted draft

    My computer has been acting up the last few days and has been deleting drafts while I am typing them which only frustrating because when a draft email is deleted it is deleted permanently and the yahoo website says it cannot be restored. Can we please change this setting so that a draft email goes into the trash rather than being permanently deleted? Its extremely frustrating to be halfway through a one page email with a lot of detail to then have it be completely deleted.

  13. Deleted items but, message highlighting too obtuse

    2 things. I just deleted a bunch of messages, but they don't show in deleted messages. This feels like a bug. Also when going through inbox hitting delete, the currently selected message is not highlighted. You can only tell where you are by the floating controls on the right, but the eye is to the left looking at sender. Highlighting needs to be much clearer for this prices. I'm going back to classic until these issues are fixed

  14. deleing draft

    I’m writing to express my deep disappointment with a recent experience I had using Yahoo Mail. I was in the middle of an important conversation and attempted to delete a draft. To my shock, this action deleted the entire conversation thread — not just the draft itself.

    This behavior is highly unintuitive and extremely frustrating. When a user chooses to delete a draft, the reasonable expectation is that only the draft message will be removed — not the entire conversation history. Losing an important conversation in this way was not only upsetting but also very disruptive.

    To make matters worse,…

  15. filters

    How about .... making it so user filters actually work? As far as I can tell, your system offers these, but they do not work at all. For example, I would like to block anything with the letter pattern "offeestor" - it's almost like yahoo sponsors this spam, i.e., Yahoo is incapable of blocking it, and my user filters which should enable automatic deletion of anything having this letter pattern... are also completely nonfunctional. Please don't comment that my filters interfere with your spam protection, i.e., that's nonsense.

    I am surprised how an email from my inbox was transferred into drafts without the original email in the inbox. Now I have deleted the draft and lost a very important email.

  17. Delete stupid additions

    unsubscribe pop up box and the whole thing just plain irritating. Get rid of the receipts, don't want it to be gin with, don't use it, and it takes up too much room. I don't need a record of my spending in my mail account.

  20. how to delete email using arrow keys

    I used to be able to delete email by highlighting one email and then using the arrow keys go down or up and select emails for deletion. It now seems that using the arrow keys selects from either the beginning or the end and starts highlighting versus where i have selected a particular email to start highlighting. What happened
