AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off
Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.

  2. Make email addresses visible when hovering over the name in the "TO" section

    The New Mail does not allow me to see the actual email addresses of people I'm writing to. Annoying, since some people have several and if I want to see an email address now I have to go to contacts.

    Please make starred view optional as a default. The starred box prevents long subject lines and text (which I use a lot) from appearing. I would like to select starred if I want, but I don't use that filter very often.

  9. 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.

  11. 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.

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…

  20. 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.
