  2. Expanded folder area larger

    I have sub categories in folders. When I click folders I get a small list that I can scroll. There is a lot of white space below. I believe the old email would allow me to use this complete area. That was much better.

  4. Unable to delete 2900000 + items from my account

    I have been trying for months to tidy up my account and every time I try to it will say something like 290000 (or similar) items deleted... when I look back nothing has changed. Before you start trying to reduce the amount of starage, you need to fix this.

  6. Issue with the new way of marking Read vs Unread emails

    The recent change to how Read vs Unread emails are marked means that there is only a small dot to the left side if the email is Unread. The reason this is a major issue is that most people, myself included, are looking at the short snippet of the message and the date of the message to the right to check which emails are of interest while working our way backward until we see messages we have seen previously. Because we frequently receive important emails that look similar, without a way to easily recognize emails that have already been read…

  7. Reduce font size

    Love the new appearance, but the font is too large. If there's not a way to reduce font size, it'd be a great addition (for me)

  8. blocking junkmail & servers

    instead of fixing things that don't need fixing, how about you put an effort into stopping junkmail, fix block and delete so it works and actually blocks senders and especially senders that say no sender address, there is thousands of scammers that send emails out with no sender address, time you became smarter than the scammers and spammers and block these senders and the servers they use, start protecting people and help keep your users safe by putting proper proticols in place so people can block these junkmail senders and servers they use, its not rocket science it just comon…

  10. A couple of important changes that will fix the new Yahoo Mail.

    Hello,

    I've been using the new Yahoo mail style for a while now, and actually I wanted to switch back to old mail style because of many problems in the new style, but I decide to stick around and give the new style a test run for a while...

    Here are the couple of key problems I believe are important and needs to be fixed first for the new style to become usable and appealing:

    First, most emails are designed with white back ground, inside the new Yahoo Mail style the white is replaced with the color 'rgb(153, 153, 0)…

  11. Please let us change the colours!!!

    I really hate the new design colours - it's all grey and I cannot have it bright and without the grey. Sorry, but it is very annoying.

  13. Comcast.net assured me my email could be kept.

    To forward the email that is no longer comcast.net you are trying to charge a monthly fee. Won't work.
    Shove it where the sun don't shine. Changed all my accounts and no longer need it.
    I thought Comcast was greedy and disingenuous but Yahoo takes it to a new level. No wonder the platform failed in the 2016.
    I had no idea Yahoo was still around. Not just ads but Monthly fees too? Up yours.You too Verison and Comcast.
    I see now Comcast/xfinity is now giving 5 year prices to get customers that they lost by lying about pricing. LOL

  19. I need to be able to view the raw message

    RAW Message Data View - I need it!
    How can I see why a message was marked SPAM if I can't see the raw message data? You took away the ... at the bottom of each message that offered that option.
    Switching back for now. Keep trying.

  20. Remove the "Starred and Contacts" box on the right side

    I generally use the "Right" message layout, where I select an email and I can view the message on the right. Now you have an additional box on the right which is taking away space from email view. Please have an option to remove the "Starred and Contacts" box on the right.
