  1. Manage account button getting in the way

    Hi, on the Yahoo (Singapore) homepage, when I move my mouse to access the mail button at the top right hand corner, my cursor sometimes moves over the 'manage account' button (the one on the right of the mail button), which triggers a pop up. This pop up only disappears when I move my cursor to the very left of the mail button where the icon of the envelope is. It would help navigation smoothness if the 'trigger area' of the mail button encompasses the whole button (icon and text) and the manage account pop up disappears as soon as…

  2. Hello

    I'm looking for some help. I started typing an e-mail last night. A long one. Then my computer froze. But it was auto saving. And I copied it after it froze. But after the computer rebooted, it was gone. Not even able to paste it. It says I have 5 drafts but only 2 are in there. Is it hiding from me? Can you help me recover it please? Thank you so much. -Kevin

  3. Casella email peggiorata

    La casella è brutta, poco funzionale, peggiorata rispetto a prima. unica cosa "decente" è che si è adeguata alle nuove risoluzioni bianco o nero. Per il resto sembra di vrede quell'aborto di windows vista

  6. Per cortesia rimette i colori nella mail

    Per cortesia rimette i colori che permettevano di personalizzare la casella mail, era molto più chiaro vedere i messaggi ancora da leggere e quelli che invece erano già letti oltre che avere un tocco di vivacità che ora non ha.
    E e mio avviso l'IA che legge la mia corrispondenza (anche se in modo sicuro) non è cosa gradita e ora provo a disattivarla come dite, spero che sia effettivamente cosi..

  7. Remove contacts tab, or at least give ability to toggle this

    Please add a button so I can toggle the starred/contacts tab. It is way too big, and really not very useful. Waste of space, since the rest of the parts cannot be moved to be smaller, and emails are still too cropped.

  9. give accurate mailbox numbers

    you said my mailbox is full so I can no longer receive or send messages. I have deleted THOUSANDS of emails tonight and emptied my trash and it still says my account is 100.1% full. The size isn't going down no matter how much i delete. i'm ready to just let this account go dormant.

  11. Move the send button up to the top

    it is a very long way to the bottom on email chain. Plus the inner slide bar doesnt take you fully to the send button at the bottom. Very annoying!

  12. DELETE ALL

    I don't like that I have to go through each email to delete them. 99% are just trash and I would like to select them and delete. In fact, after I have reviewed the inbox and handled the ones I need to, I would like to "select all" and delete. I am not able to do this now.

  13. Stop putting my sent emails behind a paywall!

    When I send an important email, I move it from the sent folder to a subject folder where it belongs, i.e. School, Automobile, etc. Now I can’t find my recent sent emails in those folders. They appear to have been relocated behind a paywall. Is an upgrade to a paid account needed to access my important sent emails?

    There should be an option to disable keyboard shortcuts in the web UI. I'm always hitting them by accident.

  17. Being able to tell if you read an email or not

    Go back to the old way. New emails were white and turned grey after reading. Now they stay white whether they were read or not.
    You can not distinguish if the email has been read or not.
    This is causing a lot of confusing and wasted time.

  18. Fix email delete defect

    If you select one of more mail items and select 'delete', the mail is deleted. If you accidentally double click your system will delete the next email even though it is not selected. If I am lucky I notice and can recover it from the trash.

    Only delete selected items!

  20. Add a "compact" view to the email interface

    Paddings are way too large, text is too big:
    - Around the top nav bar
    - The rows with the emails are way too large, I'd like to see more of them on my screen
    - The buttons are way too big they have too much padding

    Other issues :
    The search bar is not centered in the middle
    Hovering over the rows (emails) has an outer box shadow which feels clunky, I prefer the subtle highlights.
    The new message button is HUGE too much padding and margins
