  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.

  6. New navigation

    I have a few issues with the new Email from Yahoo. While I miss the old version as it was easier to use and read, I realize the need to modernizing. I am OK with using the new Yahoo however there are two issues that drive me nuts.
    First, I would prefer to have the option of which email box to default. I am always being directed to the PRIMARY box and even after a page refresh, it continues to default to that box. I would prefer to use the ALL inbox. Can a configuration setting be created for this.…

  7. view email

    provide access to the old mail layout. the new layout is unusable. I cannot see the full info of the sender. without this I have to view each email to see if I can delete it. managing junk email is not possible any longer easily.

    I doubt this will be available so it is time to complete remove my dependence on yahoo.

  8. Changes

    Mail is always freezing. What happened to he function where you can delete all mail sent from the same sender? When you want to block multiple senders you can't block them cause the block function is cut off by the search box.

  9. Sort Inbox by Sender name

    In the last version of Yahoo Mail, I could sort my Inbox by Sender Name, and it alphabetized the list of emails in my Inbox. That helped me easily delete the scams and stuff I wasn't interested -- especially the ads that pile up. I selected. Now that feature's gone, and I'm about ready to scream! Why do you tech people always think when you change something, you're actually making it more user friendly? We don't all think like you.

  10. Turn off next email opening automatically

    When I delete an email, the next one is opened automatically. Please turn this feature OFF. I want to open each one manually when I have time.

  11. Old Mail Features

    I wished you would bring back Stationary in the email and the option to pin messages at the top of my inbox. I also was not pleased that you dropped the storage limit from 1TB to 20 GB thats a huge drop. Then you act like it was done for our benefit. It would also be nice to have a button to insert pictures instead of having to copy and paste or drag and drop from from a folder somewhere. Many times, when you do that it inserts several copies of the same picture. Very screwy.

  14. CANNOT DELETE BULK TRASH OR SPAM

    The delete or trash icon does not show up in Trash or Spam. Can't click on Bulk square as there is no spacing for it.

  15. New to Yahoo Mail and find it nothing but wanting money

    How do I go back to Xfinity mail? This is too confusing for me. Ads I've never had and I refuse to pay to get rid of them! Absolutely ridiculous!

  16. Adding a new contact

    I've been trying for days to add a new contact. The "add contact" button does not appear at the bottom of my contacts list. When I click "add a contact" using the 3 dots, it allows me to put the information in but does not give me a save button and when I check back, it does not automatically save the contact.

  19. Select all

    If you want us to be able to clean out our inboxes more easily, but a select all back on the screen, so I can empty the entire box without clicking on each message.
