Welcome. How can we improve the New Yahoo Mail?

← New Yahoo Mail

Add an option to turn off AI summaries.

It might be useful for people with robust business-style accounts, but most of my messages are already short, or they're notifications. It makes the "summaries" redundant and obnoxious.

    No one needs a summary of what is in an email when the message is already opened!! This feature along with the useless box on the right side just makes my inbox look cluttered and messy.
    PLEASE GO BACK TO THE OLD VERSION!!!!

    From finance page, My Yahoo, now email...next what? You dummies are making your yahoo website totally horrible. What the **** is wrong with you clowns?

  • Mark commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don't want AI interfering with my private emails. Turn that **** off or tell me how to turn it off.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    AI Summary of email needs to be optional. Besides taking up valuable real estate, user ends up reading two messages instead of one. Now user productivity is cut in half. Did you ask AI if cutting productivity in half was a good idea? Oh - also - STOP LETTING AI READ MY EMAILS! Geez!

    If I wanted to use AI, I would have already started using one of the big name AIs. Not this dime-store version yahoo is offering.

    I'm getting summaries of purchase confirmation for free ebooks. This is literally useless to me.

    I followed your instructions to turn off dynamic settings, logged out and back in, cleared my browser cache, but it's still happening. Please fix the mechanism for turning off this feature

    Not useful and adds time and more scrolling to each message. Will consider switching and shutting account if not removed.

    AI summaries to emails showed up a short while ago. Emails are short. It is not useful or necessary to have an AI summary of an email. It creates an additional box of text that has to be scrolled past to view the actual contents of the email being read. In addition, this added box seems to come at the expense of seeing the recipients of the email without added effort to view who received and who you would be responding too. An option to at least turn off this feature would be beneficial.

    Lame idea. Adds no value to the consumer, and in fact costs us time reading the same item twice.

  • Jeffrey Jones commented  ·   ·  Report

    All I want to do is read the email the way the sender intended for me to see it. Companies that I pay a lot of money to, pay a lot of money to send their e-mails with a certain structure for them to make it easy to read, pay bills, etc.

    I don't need, nor do I want the dynamic interface when viewing e-mails..

  • Zac Sirna commented  ·   ·  Report

    Just want to reiterate that this is awful. I hate this so much.

  • Kelly Guest commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is an annoying feature. The summaries are inaccurate and I have to scroll past your AI junk to see what my actual email says. I hate this.

  • Joel Thomas commented  ·   ·  Report

    Make all summaries produced by large language models (a.k.a. AI) optional

  • Lou Fernandez commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please remove the AI summaries.
    AI summary: Please remove the AI summaries.

    See how annoying and redundant that was?

  • Ron Tull commented  ·   ·  Report

    Having an AI summary indicates to me that something or someone must be reading the email in order to prepare a summary. I don't need a summary to understand an email nor do I want anything or anyone besides myself accessing private and personal email messages that are for my eyes only. Perhaps it's time to switch to a less invasive email provider.

  • Carrie Bergherm commented  ·   ·  Report

    Give us the option to turn off the AI summary! It wastes my time becuase I have to read things twice! I don't need AI to tell me what's in my email! I want to read my email only! Also... GIVE US CLASSIC BACK!!!!

  • Kathy Manchip commented  ·   ·  Report

    Coming back to repeat how awful this "feature" is. It's making my desktop email *unusable*. Not only are the "helpful summaries" not necessarily accurate, and always redundant, they are making it impossible for me to see the actual email with the relevant info visible without physically scrolling down.
    I will only do email on my phone now, and that has its own set of inconveniences that the classic version DID NOT HAVE. Get rid of it altogether, or at least provide the option to TURN IT OFF.
    Adding that I pay for my Yahoo email, and in addition have not asked for this option nor would ever give my permission for AI to scan my emails in order to summarize them. This is unacceptable.
