  3. no useful tools for cleaning out old emails; no consideration for people with disabilities

    Your entire web team, including all decision makers, should be *-slapped for a few weeks straight. What the literal *, people? So, for 30-some years you impose zero storage limits AND make it really really hard -- nearly impossible, really -- to clean out old inboxes and folders in any remotely efficient way, but now suddenly you impose a limit, and implement ZERO useful tools for doing so.

    Zero ways to filter by size. The Android App has that, but doesn't allow multiple selections, so the biggest messages have to be deleted one by one. You utter total…

  5. Spam filter does not work

    improve tour spam filter. You are letting blatantly false emails through that borders on malfeasance. I am seriously questioning Yahoo's technical capabilities and whether I should abandon your entire platform. Again, let me emphasis how badly I am disappointed in your ability to protect customers.

  10. default to all

    I would prefer the initial page of my yahoo emails defaulted to "all" instead of "priority". I've been unable to find a way to do so myself. Yahoo's algorithms, or ai, has failed to effectively determine my priorities, and if I don't remember to click the "all" button, I miss out on important emails.

    Thank you for giving customers a chance to provide feedback and for anything that can be done to make this change.

  11. spam

    Too many spam emails are getting through to the inbox. Many more than before you made all these changes.
    Also spam folder is too difficult to get to in order to check in order to search for a missing email.

  13. Remove The Checkmark After Marking Multiple Emails As "Read"

    Please get rid of the checkmark remaining ticked on emails after marking multiple emails as read. Its a completely unnecessary additional step to have to click the 'None' box at the top to uncheck them all. In the vast majority of instances, emails are marked as read with no further actions needed. Why keep them all checked requiring the user to have to perform an additional step just to uncheck them to prevent them as being marked for future actions?

  18. Priority Inbox

    Priority and All categories are frustrating. I'd love it if you got rid of priority or if the default was "all" and you could switch to priority.

  19. mailbox ease of use

    I once found the mailbox option, a way for me to sign up for stuff with a different email address but on this account. Very useful, but I have no idea how to access that or even find that option again, it's buried somewhere and not easily accessible
