  1. Implementazione della nuova schermata

    Con il nuovo aggiornamento, in caso di riduzione della finestra (affiancamento, riduzione) sparisce il pulsante (in alto a destra) del proprio profilo non potendo essere accessibile finchè non la si ripristina a dimensioni "minime" o a pieno schermo. Risulta importante poter accedere al proprio profilo in qualunque momento. Si prega di voler migliorare la possibilità di passare ad altro account yahoo, un pò come era possibile precedentemente, con un semplice menu a tendina che compare al passaggio del cursore. Semplificare la procedura! Non è possibile che un aggiornamento porti dei peggioramenti. Attualmente, per cambiare account bisogna: 1. essere sicuri che…

  3. Restore multi-mark-as-Read functionality

    The new Yahoo Mail for iOS no longer allows marking a selection of messages as read.

    Originally, I could go to the "Unread" smart folder, select all the messages I wanted to mark as read, and select "Read" at the bottom to mark them as read.

    A later update added an extra step, forcing a question "Are you sure?" before proceeding with the operation.

    Now it directly made it impossible: Going to "Unread", I select a couple of messages, and press "Read" at the bottom, it directly does NOTHING. Other options, like "Delete" or "Archive" still work, but "Read" is…

  4. missing Mark as read (blue dot) in previous version

    missing Mark as read (blue dot) in previous version - add auto reply on Specific Email id requested by Sender and Approved by receiver - so in future mail conversation auto reply which is templated are sender receive as sender mailed to receiver.

  7. Don't delete people's email!

    All my email, some of it over 25 years old and very personal has been deleted. ALL email is gone. I think if you want to improve you could start by letting your customer's decide for themselves which email they want to delete.
    You could also improve by giving me back my email!

  8. The ability to select own colors

    Give the user the ability to select their choice of colors! Especially, with the Unread emails. In the Dark mode, it is hard to recognize the unread emails, thanks to its color selection.

  9. Hard to distinguish between read and unread mail in dark mode after recent change.

    Now the only indication in dark mode that an item has been read is the dot to the left of a message is no longer visible. It would be great if the item was black instead of gray similar to the hover action. I believe this was the case in previous versions. The class that changes when hovered is here: #Atom .j4_n:hover
    {
    box-shadow: none;
    }

    If this would happen when read that would help with readability.

    Thanks,

  10. Benutzer in der Planung und gestaltung einbeziehen durch Umfragen

    Im "alten" Layout sind auf der linken Seite alle Ordner ( Posteingang, Entwürfe, Spam usw.) direkt übersichtlich sichtbar und sofort anklickbar angeordnet. Auch die selbst erstellten Ordner kann man übersichtlich sofort öffnen.

    Das war "einfach, schnell, übersichtlich und super"! Das hat sich im neuen Layout aber leider zum starken Nachteil geändert. Jetzt hat man dazu mehr Aufwand, man muss suchen, mehrfaches anklicken und es ist unübersichtlicher und für den Benutzer einfach "schlecht" geworden! Man muss auch einiges an Funktionen erst umständlich im neuen Layout aufwändig suchen mit dem Eindruck das Ihr das bewusst versteckt habt um den Benutzer zu ärgern.…

  12. Let the user close/shrink the menu

    So I'm still getting used to the new look. And it's fine. My only advice is that can us users close/shrink the side menu like folders. I use the folders/filtered emails more often than other priotised folders. Like. sent, draft scheduled, tharsh, spam, archive. Or let us customize it. Which are more preferred or unused, so it can be placed on tzhe bottom or such.
    I can collapse the folders, that is okay, but for me that's just the opposite, I would like to hide the others as I wrote earlier. I hope I explaned it correctly. Thank you

  17. Account ID

    I like this format, but I have 3 email address with you (1 private, 1 for subscriptions and 1 for my startup company) it would be great if the I could immediately identify which account I'm using, to avoid send an email from wrong email. As of now the email ID is at the bottom left corner and shows initials but they all have the same color and couldn't find a way to customize them in setup (change color or upload a small picture for example). Also, it might be wiser if you'd have that on the top, closer to…

  18. Contacts

    I can't clean out some mistaken imported Phone number contacts that came over when I used the Yahoo app on my cell.
    I am UNABLE to do a MASS edit on my Contacts book. That's the first problem. I have to clean out everything I don't need in my Email list. The second problem is - As I am deleting one at a time out of my contacts- It STOPS working. It will let me delete around 10 then Says Can't Delete. And I have to reset the whole app to get a chance to delete a contact. This is…
