  3. Way to eliminate the folders on folders' lists.

    I would be good, if you would provide a way to delete folders we create, but that we don't need anymore. Only the content of the folder can be deleted. But not the face of the folder with the name we assign to it, on the list of folders. . I tried to look for a way, but could not find a way. It only gives me the option to save, reload, and such. No way to delete it. It's quite annoying. to have a folder we don't use anymore, and no way to delete it from folders lists.

  4. Get rid of New Yahoo!

    Stop constantly shifting my mailbox. I want it permanently set on 'All Messages'. Why is that so hard? Your categorisation of messages is nonsensical and useless. Please give me my old mailbox back and let me see all the messages I have received.

  5. Type face size

    I don't kniow how you expect people to read emails in 4 point type size. It is ridiculous to expect that - how can it be changed for all incoming mail?

  6. Remove AI from Yahoo or make an easy opt out. Stop filtering out verification emails.

    The forcing of ai on users is a huge problem and is resulting in a massive loss of control. Another major issue is the filtering out of certain websites that don't even reach our spam folders because this makes it impossible to confirm emails. This is not easy to fix and causing a massive headache for me.

    Schwab Volatility Update

    By Joe Mazzola

    The roaring chip sector fell sharply Friday, pushing down the entire market in a bruising session. The impetus was rate worries after solid jobs data, along with Broadcom guidance.

  9. Really Differentiate Unread v. Read

    Right now it is difficult to see if any new messages. It would be helpful to have a message count next to each mailbox.

  14. Keep the inbox sorted as selected

    I want to love the new Yahoo Mail, but it is very hard to do so. I do not have the amount of time it takes to efficiently clean out my email. With the free storage limit, it is quite frustrating. I like to go through email by sorting by "sender"; however, as soon as I move a chunk of emails to a folder or delete them, the inbox goes back to being unfilted. I do this by being on the "All" category, and not only is it unfiltered, but it also moves me to the Priority category. It is…

  17. NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR "PRIMARY" CLASSIFICATION

    LEAVE THE DEFAULT EMAIL STATUS AT "ALL", NOT "PRIMARY"... OR HAVE A WAY THAT WE CAN SET OUR OWN DEFAULT. SICK AND TIRED EVERY TIME I LOG IN OF SEEING THIS WORTHLESS "PRIMARY" FILTER ARBITRARILY WHITTLE MY VISIBLE EMAIL LIST DOWN TO HALF A DOZEN EMAILS WHEN I WANT TO SEE MY ENTIRE LIST. IT'S NOT EVEN CONSISTENT WHAT IT CALLS "PRIMARY" OR NOT!!!

  18. The Filter option doesn't work

    The Filters don't work. I tried every variation possible. Comas, no comas, contains, begins, from, subject, content. I tried everything to remove some repetitive SPAM content and they keep poping on my SPAM folder, instead of going to the trash, like I costumized. On the other way, mails from the electricity company and others from legit sources, are going to the Trash folder. I checked to see if I have a filter or a word that could filter these messages...and there isn't. I'm so mad, having to check the spam and trash folder constantly.

  19. Put filters back

    It used to be really easy to add filters to incoming emails. You've taken the option away from the main screen and hidden it inside options. Please put it back so that emails are much easier to screen and pre-sort. This is one of the main reasons I still use a Yahoo edress.

  20. Ich möchte Alte Desing haben

    Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

    ich bin der Yahoo-Kontoinhaber

    Wegen meiner langen beruflichen Tätigkeitim Medienbereich, darunter fast 50 Jahre mit dem Computer, habe ich eine fortgeschrittene Makula-Degeneration an beiden Augen, unbehandelbaren Graustarr und nur unter 10% Sehekraft an dem linken Auge.
    Als alleinstehender schwerbehinderter Rentner muß ich immer noch sehr viel Schriftverkehr selbst erledigen.
    Fast alles funktioniert ausschließlich über die oben-genannte Mail-Adresse.
    Eine bittere Überraschung kam vor drei Tagen mit der Einführung eines neuen Designes bei Yahoo Mail.
    Ich bin dadurch verurteilt mit den neuen zwei Design-Varianten – in Weiß oder Schwarz- meinen Yahoo-Mail nicht mehr zu benutzrn.

    Das ist…
