  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.).

  4. issues with new format

    several issues. 1) it doesn't go to the next email after delete. 2) the down arrow doesn't go to the next email. 3) can't click 1 email, hold shift and click another email to have all those in range be selected. 4) you don't need to select an action and then apply. just have the action button. 5) don't require clicking Refresh to show new emails; just refresh automatically.

  5. Summary

    Please go back to classic format. At the least, you need to provide the option to remove the bothersome AI. And why is Yahoo defaulting to judge what is a priority email in my inbox? Isn't this my email? The new views stink. Why did I have to hunt for the Spam and Trash folders? Really bad idea to change the format and really, really bad new format!!.

  6. Allow users of the original Yahoo Mail to adjust font size and style

    For those of us who prefer the old Yahoo Mail layout, please restore the ability to change font size and style. The inbox shows the correct font, but when I go to compose, the font is very small.

  7. appearance

    Where's my emails? You've knocked them out. Please put back my email the way it was. I need my emails and I shouldn't have to pay for more storage. You are trying to fleece me.

  8. Please allow me to see the email address that the email was sent from, as you did before forcing me into this horrible new interface.

    Please allow me to see the email address that the email was sent from at the top of the email, as you did before forcing me into this horrible new interface. Having to open the raw email in a separate tab and try to parse through all of the condensed text is neither easier or more helpful.

  10. Inbox issues

    New Inbox design does not show # of unread email as it does for folders like older version. Inbox unread/read coloring is NOT easy to notice.

    Moving emails between folders or back is not as smooth as older version. Have to attempt 3 or 4 times & multiple ways before it works.

    Prefer older version but NO WAY to go back to it now.

  11. Batch Delete Search Results (More than 100 emails at a time)

    There needs to be an easy way to delete more than 100 emails at once in the new Yahoo Mail view. Right now I only see the option to delete more than 100 emails at once for entire folders - but there's no way to, for instance, delete all of the emails sent to me by Zillow by searching for Zillow as a sender and then selecting all.

  12. making email work normally?

    Why is there a line half way down the left side of my emails? It's creating a "pasted paragraph" look on new messages?

    I CC myself on these message and my version shows this line. My sent items show the same but if I foward it, it's not there before sending. Why are they not all the same? How do I know which version the recepient is recieving?

    Why do I have to contact you so much about sending an email??? It's email, not new technology, but somehow you seem to make it so difficult.

    Can you send me instructions…

  13. delete all newsletters

    Its great that you have created "Newsletters" and "Social" auto categories but still have to scroll thru screen after to screen to select the emails to delete. Please add a delete all function for these categories so I dont have to scroll thru screen after screen selecting only 100 messages at a time. thanks

  18. Blocking Spam, Junk, and Scammers!

    I block quite a few incoming mail (scammers, sales, junk), and after a while it felt like the ones I blocked are no longer blocked. An online Tech person stated that we should not delete Blocked/Spam so that y'all you see and record all the spam mail. Is this true? I would put so many in Spam folder, hold there a couple of days, and then delete. I keep getting spam in my incoming mail AND in the spam mail. It is never ending!! How do I stop the spam, scammers, and junk/sales mail?? Thanks!

  19. Snooze Feature

    I don't use Yahoo as much as I would like, as I really use the "Snooze" feature in other email providers A LOT! Any chance that Yahoo will implement a Snooze feature soon?
