  1. Yahoo app

    Something has changed with the Yahoo app and now you can only see different categories of emails instead of all your emails that come in in the order they arrive. I really don't like this because it disrupts the way I organize and prioritize my emails. Please restore an option to have it the "old" way. Thanks! And, I would suggest that you give some warning before you change the format of the app again. At first I thought it was just not working or that I had lost lots of mail.

  2. inbox not showing all

    Bugfix: Inbox not having "all" email option, only some of subcategories.

    Few days ago things changed so that by default inbox shows "priority" that it seems to determine very randomly to just couple of emails, other available options are "updates", "offers", "social", and "newsletters", together these do not show even close to all mails, and other options are not available when using "inbox categories", despite settings listing "all" as one category.

    however "all" category is for some reason not shown at all in ui.

  4. Get rid of the pointless videos in the email inboxes etc

    It states that the videos posted are "the most exciting" whereas the same video about allergies has been posted for a long time. The idea of videos in inboxes is, in my opinion, a nuisance and a waste of bandwidth.

  5. I don't think you can improve it. It is beyond insane! Suddenly I can't move emails into categories I want to keep or view later.

    Please just forward ALL the email I get from Yahoo mail to my gmail account where I will be able to organize the emails I get. What you've done is INSANITY!! I'm done with Yahoo mail.

  7. Ack! Put it all back in one inbox category! You've just added a lot more clicking to my life! Put it back!

    I don't want a bunch of extra tabs to sort through. I want all of my inbox email in one single view. These tabs suck!

  9. security

    when I go to my email account, and click on a folder (any folder), the system automatically opens one of the emails within that folder. that is nonsense. the fact that I am checking to ensure something didn't accidentally get put into spam folder does not mean that I want things in spam to open. let me just see the contents and then I most likely will delete everything. but the system opens something I have no interest in seeing - nor do I wish to confirm to the sender of spam that I have opened it and am ripe…

  10. Not Spam Optiton Not working

    The Yahoo 'Not SPAM' option is defective and is not working. I have tried to deselect different emails from different legitimate senders and the Yahoo SPAM filter moves them right back to JUNK or SPAM. I can see there are several people with the same issue but the system does not allow me to select critical on these items so I have created a a new entry. Please fix this

  11. Improve the layout of folders on the app

    When I click on the Folder icon bottom left on the mobile app I want to see the spam and deleted folders immediately below the inbox and drafts folders as they are the only three I use. I don't need an archive or scheduled folder so please give an option to remove them or remove them altogether.

  13. Why moving a conversation to folder also moves any "Sent" Email with it?

    Why moving a conversation to folder also moves any "Sent" Email with it? I should be able to view my Sent Emails in the "Sent" folder no matter where the actual or full conversations is moved to, whether archive or a folder. This is really bad email experience that I have to struggle to find my old Sent Emails.

  15. I fully understand how to mark mail in my inbox as spam. I also understand how mail is directed to my spam folder. The question I have is

    I fully understand how to mark mail in my inbox as spam. I also understand how mail is directed to my spam folder.

    The question I have is for a situation that is somewhat less obvious. How can I "see" a list of mail addresses that are being/would be directed to my spam folder? I.e, is there available for my yahoo mail address, a list of email addresses that will automatically be directed to my spam folder.

    Thanks in advance for your understanding and help!

  16. delete

    Either fix the 'Select All' option to really select ALL or add a choice to do this. Maintaining an active mailbox 50 msgs at a time is not user friendly. This was suggested before (2018 et al) but apparently fell on deaf ears. Almost every Yahoo mail user would benefit, as would Yahoo by freeing some storage space.

  17. filters

    while using with yahoo mail filters... the filter does the job as per the criteria set to move emails from specific organization mail to a specific folder... but the thing is there is no notification alert when a new mail arrives with conditions matching the filters. I have to open yahoo mail each time to check for any new mails for the filters that i have created. A new mail notification would be great for filters !!

  18. User configurable auto trash deletion- NOT 7 days!!

    The time period for auto trash deletion should be configurable by the user. 7 days is too short. I had to stop deleting my mail.

    Be able to SORT in UNREAD.

    You don't read these complaints and fix a very annoying problem for everyone!
    Why have a "complaint section" when you totally ignore every single one of them?!

  20. Can you allow a user to set up subfolders in order to better organize the folders they have created?

    I would like to create subfolders by topic so I can organize my folders. I don't know if that option already exists in Yahoo.
