  1. Various topics

    I'm using Yahoo Web Mail Plus (trial version) and would like to make a few observations.
    1) The first column in the web interface (the one with the folder list) could be wider. Ideally, you could change its width by dragging its right edge.
    2) Some options are difficult to find (see "Settings").
    3) The account selection was better in the previous version.
    4) The toolbar that appears when selecting a message could be wider and should also display the print function. Ideally, the toolbar could be modified by dragging the function icons.
    5) When moving messages, automatically focus the…

  3. Largen the capacity of each email attacment

    you can connect the email with some kind of drive so we can upload larger attachment to the email, I think this is a big issue that the capacity of the email attachment is limited, this does not allow us to send big files and this is very needed somthing.

  7. Banners hinder

    When messages are selected in Inbox, "x messages selected" appears just over the toolbox icons and is a hindrance.

  9. 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…

  12. 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…

  14. 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!

  15. 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.…

  17. 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

  20. 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…
