  2. Coming Soon: Default to "ALL" Instead of "Priority"

    I will often let Offers and Newsletters pile up for a while, then go through them all in one go. But, annoyingly, if I open a message from, say, the Newsletters view, then move the message to a folder, I get put back into Priority view - argh! It should return to the most recent view I was using (Newsletters).

  3. Inbox Categories Options

    In playing with my email settings (and realizing I definitely prefer having the inbox categories disabled), I've realized that the option to presort/filter my mail with a quick button click is actually really handy. Here are some ideas for tweaking it to make it more user-specific.

    1. Please please please, let me set which filter I want as my default and/or allow the option to just go back to the last used filter. I hate that it keeps going back to the 'priority' filter.

    2. It would be nice to be able to select which filters I want being used. I don't…

  4. Microsoft Teams invites

    You had this feature before, but now I can no longer accept invites from Micorsoft Teams in my email. I have my email linked to my google calendar so the solution to add invites to my yahoo mail are useless. This would be one of the biggest reasons I may have to stop using yahoo if you guys can't fix this.

  5. Dark mode is not dark. The entire screen should be enabled to dark background with light lettering.

    I was excited for the "dark mode" I use this with my work and other group email platforms. Unfortunately Yahoo's dark mode only changes everything but what is most important, the messages. While reading long emails the white background makes it difficult to read and ultimately for longer emails, I have to copy the text and paste into a document with actual dark mode to not get a headache from the stark white background. I do enjoy my yahoo mail which I have had since yahoo came about. With this major flaw paying for Yahoo premium for something other email…

  6. Remove Yahoo Scout

    I received an email that said my son was dead because your AI is so flawed!! Imagine getting an email from your childs school and the giant headline is your childs name passing and describing how they trragically passed away! This is not acceptable. My wife was hysterical,This is not OK!!
    It was an email from the school about a student that passed away and it was regarding my son because he was in the same class and that is what Yahoo Scout created.

  9. Inbox right section changes

    First of all thanks for the new look, i thought the yahoo mail was dead.

    When I'm in inbox section on my laptop, the right side is just displaying nothing which is wasting space and compressing inbox into even smaller section so its hard to read emails, I have to open the email to read the starting of the email. I'm sorry If I could not explain it properly.

    We can have it replaced it with something useful and not the ads please - it just makes the whole thing look like disaster. Looking forward to see more changes on…

  10. Inbox subjects scroll by themselves! Hard to return to my inbox spot after opening a message

    When I finish reading an email and try to go back to the inbox, I have a hard time finding where I left off. The screen has automatically scrolled up instead of staying where I was before. ??????

  11. I search for one topic and the tab in the bubble at the top repeated that search 20 times!!

    I love the multi tab option, as I often go back to previous emails, but when I search the "tabs" (really bubbles) for one search seem to multiply...20 copies of one!! This makes it hard to see other tabs. Please fix.

  14. Unread Selection on the new mail is not working

    The “Mark as Unread” option in the new mail interface is not functioning as expected. The change is neither reflected in the inbox view nor reopening the application.

  16. 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!

  18. 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. unsubscribe popup

    Give the option to disable the unsubscribe popup. As I click to view the email, the popup appears and a click the popup instead of the email. I then have to back out and click a different part of the email.

    Annoying and a waste of my time. Maybe make it a right mouse click instead?
