  1. Easy viewing of messages with attachments

    When a conversation is expanded, giving 1-line previews, it would be useful to see which messages carry attachments

  2. Can 'select all' be made visible all the time?

    Hello, I saw in a couple posts that the 'select all' box becomes available once an email has been selected. Personally, I'd prefer it if the 'select all' box was always visible. It's honestly kind of annoying that I have to select an individual email in order to make the 'select all' box visible. Also, I recently realized this, but when I'm in a filter/folder other than 'all' I instinctively think the 'all' is the 'select all'.

  4. Pleaseeeeee go back to the old version. Thank you

    It's hard to handle and look for the new "look" of Yahoo main page. Why in the world would change the appearance of the Yahoo?. The old version is very easy to handle and understand. If there are not a button of get back to Yahoo old version, I'm going to look to close the account and open a new one in Google.

  7. Why can I no longer paste a screenshot in the body of an email --- bad for my business

    Why can I no longer paste a screenshot in the body of an email --- bad for my business.
    I often need to screenshot a portion of a document or a screenshot -- no longer have that capability in the new version.
    Please give back functionality we had in the Classic Version.
    Your attempt to streamline and give better functionality is obviously a FAILURE !

  8. We can no longer widen the column with the folders making it impossilbe to see the entire title of the folder

    We can no longer widen the column with the folders making it impossilbe to see the entire label of the folder if it has a longer label. Also, when changing the name of a folder, if you only want to add to the existing label you have to retype the whole thing. Very time consuming. In addition, when you are trying to move a folder you can no longer search by typing part of the name but have to scroll - if you have a ton of folders that is very time consuming.

    Please bring back the ability to widen…

  11. Make Archive the actual Archive, get rid of Priority

    1. Archive box is supposed to store SELECTED e-mails. Now it is random e-mails. Not sure what it is actually. I lost my storred archives. Do you even know what "Archive" means? Google it.
    2. The Priority inbox is confusing. Who are you to tell me what is priority for ME!? Just have one INBOX.

  12. Get rid of the AI stuff.

    The AI summary was complete waste of time before this update - I never asked for or needed a summary for a two sentence email or a utility bill - and now you're forcing Microsoft Copilot into my inbox? I avoid using Outlook and Microsoft's entire suite of products BECAUSE of Copilot. There had better be a way to opt out of this nonsense entirely, or I'm leaving.

  19. I hate the "priortiy" mail tabs.

    Why can't we just see all emails? I have missed important emails because of this new feature. It sucks - go back to the old.

  20. Improve spam filters instead of adding other garbage

    I only use my Yahoo email address for websites I don't fully trust (marketing/newsletters/loyalty programs), so about 75% of my daily email is spam from third-party companies, data breach email lists, etc. I don't mean junk I subscribed to, I mean "your cloud account is suspended", "get your free dewalt tool likt", etc. spam. I don't go a day without having to mark at least one email, usually more, as spam instead of being filtered.

    If you really want people to use your product more, work on better spam filtering instead of newer layouts and the "inbox cleanup challenge" garbage.…
