  1. Please restore and bring back the multi-tab feature to Yahoo Mail for browsers

    Hi Yahoo mail team,
    I’m requesting the multi-tab feature for Yahoo mail for browser.

    Please restore and bring back the multi-tab feature to Yahoo Mail for browsers.
    It is a vital tool for productivity, and bringing it back would significantly enhance the user experience.
    Thank you for your help.

  3. Notification Prompt Irritant

    Stop the "notification" popup! It appears several times a day when I'm checking mail. Checking "Maybe Later" doesn't cut it. I already get a notification on my phone, I DO NOT NEED A DESKTOP EMAIL NOTIFICATION!!! What an annoyance!

  5. Filtering is fine, but by default, I want to see All, not Priority

    Filtering is fine, but by default, I want to see All, not Priority. How do I fix this? If I want priority, I can click on it later. I've missed important emails that your 'AI' nonsense put in another category.

    Hi Joe, if your emails are going directly to Trash, this is an indication that your account has been compromised. We recommend changing your password immediately and then checking your Filters again. If you continue to have issues, please contact our CC team at help.yahoo.com, they handle all account issues like this. Thanks!

    The best way to get rid of spam is to mark as spam, not delete or block! This helps with your spam filters and does exactly what blocking does, prevents that email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam! It is free and part of regular Yahoo Mail. Thanks!

  9. COULD NOT FIND THE LIST OF CONTACTS

    I WANT TO DELETE A FEW EXPIRED CONTACTS BUT COULD NOT FIND THE LIST OF CONTACTS. THE CONTACTS INSIDE THE SETTING ONLY SHOWS THE BUTTONS TO CONNECT VARIOUS EMAIL PLATFORMS. WTF?

    Friendly reminder to always check your Settings. Yes, we introduced AI Summaries to help skim/read your emails better, but we also understand that not everyone would need or want, therefore, you can disable it under your Settings.

  11. Forwarding an email message

    I'm new to Yahoo email. (not by choice) I don't see a way to forward emails in Yahoo.

    One change you'll see is a new feature called Inbox Categories. So you'll see at the top of your Inbox, your emails are now organized in Categories. If you're not seeing all your emails, it might be because you're in the Priority tab. Please go to your "All" tab so you can see all your emails. Thanks.

  13. Stop pop-up ads

    Why am I getting many pop-up ads if I'm paying for ad-free Yahoo Mail Plus?

  14. Remove frivolous marketing campaigns

    I like opening my mail box, seeing what mails I have, and doing normal email things. I dislike opening up my mail box to get frivolous "challenges" or gimmicky "junk mail cleaning incentives". It is e-mail, not a Steam game. Please at least allow us to opt-out of this kind of stuff.

  15. Feedback on gamification

    I don't need my email account to give me a pat on the back for reading an email, deleting an email, etc. The 'gamification' of yahoo mail is really annoying. Yahoo isn't DuoLingo or a fidget game on my phone, it's my email inbox. Please stop trying to "make it fun" or trying to give people dopamine hits when they read emails - it's not working (speaking for myself), and I think it looks completely ridiculous.

    Hi Connor, thanks for your feedback. Yes, you're right, we are trying something fun. A fun way to reward our Community with triaging/organizing their emails. No harm there and our Community is definitely engaging with this fun new feature.

    But we also understand, not everyone will like everything we launch, therefore, you don't have to participate and can disable it under your Settings. Thanks!

  16. Setting Email Senders to timed delete

    It would be great to have emails self delete after a certain amount of time. The user could choose an option to have emails from a specific sender self-delete after 30, 60, or 90 days. For example, I get newsletters weekly. I read through them sometimes, but there are other times I am unable to read them in time so the newsletter is no longer current. By designating this particular sender's emails to self-delete after 30 days, this would also passively manage my inbox.

    Hi AP, this would certainly help your use case, yes, but a majority of our community would not go for this. Most like to have control of their Inbox. We will share your feedback with the team, but we currently have no plans in adding this at this time. Thanks!

  17. Search cards in results????? Why??? Need to be able to delete or close

    I wish I could share a screen shot but currently there are search results that show "cards" which I know someone is trying to be helpful but on a small screen, I cant even read the emails. The "cards" in the results need to be allowed to be closed or minimized so I can actually read the results of teh search.
    Do NOT assume you know what I'm looking for.

    Please make sure you are marking these emails as spam instead of just deleting. Also, if they are newsletters please make sure you unsubscribe from these. We will also share this with our anti-spam team. Thank you!

    Hi Sheryl, there are many ways to delete fast!

    You can tap on any checkbox and a new checkbox will appear at the very top. You can select all and then delete all. You can sort and then delete by sender by tapping on the sender's logo/avatars in one of their messages.

    You can also go to the cloud icon in the left hand column which will take you to your Manage Storage page. From there we provide more deleting tools. Thanks!

  20. Your ad's

    You think, if you keep sending me distasteful Ads, I will subsribe to Ad free. Think again; some adds are good and useful items and ideas, some are the biggest frauds, some to shows how low the human race has stooped (degraded). We need to know all walks of life. Knowledge, good are bad is power.
    I am OK with with Ads for now. You need better tactics. You are one of the great companies; I chose you over Google for my seconday email. Stay great!!!
