  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. Email lists

    I formed some groups of email lists, so I can email Group 1, Group 2, etc. When it changed to the new Yahoo format, I can't find or access those groups. So, I can't add, change, or delete any email addresses in the groups.

  4. date

    Having emails broken up by date is helpful when trying to locate a relevant email. Yes, it is ordered by date in the inbox, but not being able to see where yesterday, last week, and last month emails start makes it very difficult when doing a visual search because you cannot search using the correct key word or recall the sender - only roughly when it was sent. Please bring back the time periods (today, yesterday, last week, last month, last year, etc.).

  6. Toxic ads

    The email program has ads that show up in line with email messages and some of them try to load viruses. Please get rid of the ads or at least screen them for toxic content

  7. Please Stop With The Annoying 7 Day Inbox Challenges! (I Can't Get Rid of Them-HELP!)

    I accidently joined the 7 Day Yahoo Mail inbox challenge on the account I am logged into currently, and now I can't log out! There is a quick way, but you have to go to the Yahoo Mail prompt on the top left of the screen. Than you have about 10 seconds to log out as the challenge goes away before it loads back again Get rid of this NOW!

  10. SEARCH and/or Sort

    I am new from transfer from Comcast, that had excellent email sort by (column: name, date, etc) options. I cannot find any such capability on Yahoo. The need is to search by SENDER, etec., so I can see my emails, select the ones I do not want in that group, and delete them. I realize Yahoo sells storage, but this necessary to manage and delete old emails.

  11. Move SETTINGS link back to the top right of the page. Took me 15 minutes to find it.

    Move SETTINGS link back to the top right of the page. Took me 15 minutes to find it.
    I finally found it under the folder HIDDEND in the MORE section. OMG, just shoot me.
    I am a systems analyst, if you worked for me I would fire you. :( - Stephen
    If you don't fix my bugs i will just go back to old yahoo. This is not really useable for me.

  12. Regular Email

    Regular email. No conversation, no AI, just regular email like it used to be. Cannot stand email platforms with all the functions and "tools." Want to be helpful? Give me a regular email. If I want to have a "conversation," I will call or test someone. If I wanted AI to filter my email,,, wait I don't!

  14. Eliminate the ads that says "3 MESSAGES" - it is a scam that takes over the screen

    I clicked on this ad - I thought it was an email. I didn't even click on a link.
    My screen was immediately filled with content that my computer had been infected.
    There was also a blaring beeping sound and a warning to not shut down my computer or there would be further damage. I closed my screen but the sound persisted. This was a scary situation for me since I didn't know how to get it off the screen and was 100% sure it was a SCAM.

  16. Spam folder should show number of emails when hovering

    Like the Inbox folder icon, the Spam folder icon should also show the number of emails when hovering over the icon. Showing a small unread emails number on the Spam icon's upper righthand side would be a nice feature too. Currently, I need to open the Spam folder to see if there are any emails. I am using Microsoft Edge browser.

  17. Blocking certain in line ads

    I would like a way to block or remove unwanted types of ads such as dating apps and that type of social media. I do not mine ads, just do not care to see certain types of ads I find offensive or not useful to me.

  19. There's a problem deleting emails from the Inbox.

    I don't really call the problem with Navigation, but nothing else fits.

    Every time I delete an email without opening it, the system opens the next email. I don't want the next email opened! It just started a few days ago, but it's very annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Please go back to the way it was last week.

    Thank you.
