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.

    I am perfectly able to read my own email, I don't need nor want some AI to digest and regurgitate my emails to me

    I have used the same yahoo email account for approx. 25 years. I was shocked to see an AI summary at the top of my email today (annoying, inaccurate, invasive, waste of screen space & energy, etc.). I am exploring my options now to leave Yahoo, as well as the affiliated properties that this account has kept me connected to. I hope it is undone immediately.

    The more I suffer through this ****** implementation, the more annoyed I get with the stupid AI summaries. They're pitifully inaccurate... but don't try to fix them. Beyond the inaccuracies, they're entirely unnecessary. Just get rid of them. Oh, and fire whoever thought it was a good idea to roll this piece of **** out for a public viewing.

    Get rid of these AI summaries in my emails! Then I just have to read the summary AND the email and it's obnoxious! I hate the new categories, i just want all of my emails in one spot, in order, without AI.

    It is -extremely- important to me to disable AI notifications. I find this a huge violation of my privacy, for no value at all. It summarized a delivery notification but didn't shorten it, so the summary was useless, and told me I had received "dishes and herbs" - it was yarn. So the summary was also wrong. My continued use of Yahoo as a mail platform is contingent on being able to disable AI summaries.

    AI uses tons of resources, electricity and water.

    Why? Just why?

  • Maggie Cascio commented  ·   ·  Report

    I completely agree. I just searched in settings on how to turn it off, and then chatted with an agent to learn that it's not possible to turn it off. I would prefer no AI features. The AI summary is unnecessary. It makes the screen more cluttered, and is, IMHO, confusing.

    These summaries are so freaking obnoxious. If I want them I'll turn them on but 99.9% of the time, I do not want them, I know how to read an email.

  • Lynn Dodsworth commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have yet to see a correct AI summary. I pay for Yahoo Mail Plus -- Let me turn it off!!! Why are your forcing us to be your guinea pigs for this? I'd like to knnow how many POSITIVE comments you've received on this.

  • Teresa Emory commented  ·   ·  Report

    Welcome to stupid "AI", my cat is smarter than the so-called "AI" I see!!! I would like to see the ability to turn off any and all AI, it's as useful as a screen door on a submarine!!!

  • Sean Mahoney commented  ·   ·  Report

    I just want to read my email, not constantly realize I am reading some ridiculous summary of it. What moron created this tripe?

  • Lori Lawson commented  ·   ·  Report

    The AI summaries contain hyperlinks to my bank and credit card. How is this a good idea? Every time I get an AI summary, I'm giving it the thumbs down and writing feedback. Why keep something NO ONE wants? Yahoo mail is typically used by older people who have had this address for a long time with many of us willing to pay for the service. Stop trying to make it something the Gen Z will use. They won't. Know your base and keep us happy or you'll lose money.

    STOP READING MY EMAILS, AND STOP MAKING SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT PEOPLE WRITE TO ME...INVASION OF PRIVACY..I HAVE THE ILLEGAL MESSAGE YOU LEFT ABOUT SOMEONE SENDING ME PRIVATE EMAIL....YOU PEOPLE ARE BIASED IN YOUR POLITICAL MEDIA PROPAGANDA ....NOW YOUR COMMENTING ON MY PERSONAL EMAILS SENT TO ME......

  • Bill Rayburn commented  ·   ·  Report

    I stayed on Classic Yahoo email so I would not see these useless AI summaries. Now that Classic Yahoo email has been hobbled by removing shortcut keys, I am forced to use the New Yahoo Mail. The imperfect and redundant AI summaries immediately train me to ignore them, because I actually want to read email when the email is important. Do the people working on Yahoo Mail not use email themselves?

  • Mitchell Bonds commented  ·   ·  Report

    This "feature" feels intrusive and redundant, seldom adds anything beneficial, and doubles the scroll length of any important email, most of which are the same length as, or shorter than, the summary. I neither need nor want this, and there isn't a way to turn it off. Please adjust this so that people who find it as obnoxious as I do can disable it.

  • christopher rodriguez commented  ·   ·  Report

    This AI Preview is a pain **********!!! it is so unneeded and aggravates me to the point of leaving yahoo all together!

  • Fernanda B commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please let me get rid of all this AI intrusion, I'm perfectly capable of understanding what my messages are about

  • Shawn Barrett commented  ·   ·  Report

    This needs to be a priority change. The summaries are not helpful and in many cases are completely useless!
