Welcome. How can we improve the New Yahoo Mail?

← New Yahoo Mail
'Email Viewing - Bad AI Summaries' has been merged into this idea

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.

    This has been completed. You can certainly disable AI Summaries on desktop now too. Just go to your Settings (left hand side, three dots) and from there you go to Settings. Just click on AI features and toggle off Message summaries. Very sorry this took some time, but a lot of work had to into making the happen. Thank you for your patience!

    I find yahoo's AI paraphrasing of my email contents annoying and absolutely not necessary. It leads me to wonder why they are doing this. Do they own the content of the paraphrase that AI produces. Do they now have access to the content of my emails through this? Is my email content no longer secure? Will I find it one day on the Internet for everyone to read?

    You need to get rid of AI summaries in emails. I received an AI summary today on an email from my brokerage firm indicating the email was regarding a purchase of 1000 shares of Apple Inc stock. I made no such purchase and the email content had nothing to do with any purchase of shares. Your f**kin AI summary caused me to contact my brokerage firm and find out WTF was going on. If you keep up this ****, I'll be moving everything to gmail.

    STOP READING MY EMAILS WITH AI THEY ARE PRIVATE AND NOT FOR YOUR VIEWING

  • Karo Germain commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would like an option to turn off the AI summaries at the top of my emails. It's distracting and I feel like I am just reading the same email twice. Can this be a setting I just toggle off please...

  • Jennifer Cato commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please remove the AI Summarize at the top block of each email. Or show me how to remove it myself.

    How do I opt out of the email synopses that Yahoo (via AI) is providing to me? I did not ask for this feature and I want all of the summaries to GO AWAY. Can anyone help me with this?

    Please take AI off when viewing emails. I do NOT want a robot summarizing the emails. I have this selected in settings, but that is not working.

    Get rid of these idiotic, energy-guzzling, water-guzzling "AI" summaries that take up literally half the screen real-estate.
    I don't want to have to read the same thing multiple times in case the "AI" screwed up or left out a part. I want to read the original email text, and ONLY the original email text.
    I'm a grown adult. I can read things and synthesize them into more concise thoughts by my own self.
    Stop trying to shove this garbage tech down people's throats!

    Let me decide what is a priority email, not some AI. I keep moving emails to priority only to have AI continue to ignore my preferences the next time. Your AI sucks!

  • Jan Gareau commented  ·   ·  Report

    HATE the new look - the AI summary - pretty much everything. It is really difficult to navigate. Hate that you can't have different colors per mailbox anymore. Just HATE it.

  • Leslie Austin commented  ·   ·  Report

    Really would like to permanently disable AI summaries of my email. For me, totally unnecessary, irritating, and clutters up my email inbox. How do I disable this asap? I didn't ask for it and don't want it pushed on me. Thanks.

    Add an option to turn off the AI summary so I don't have to scroll past an incorrect summary to see the actual email

  • Kevin Anderson commented  ·   ·  Report

    In Settings it appears I can turn off Dynamic Messages. However, this does not appear to be the option to turn off the AI Summaries on ALL emails (despite many YT videos stating otherwise). My AI Summaries are still happening; and based on the short description under the COMING SOON! banner on this page, my guess is Yahoo does not allow turning that feature off yet.

    Is this correct?

    If no, then please share with me how to turn these off - they are not helpful at all.
    If yes, then shame on you! Enabling such an annoying feature and forcing your user base to be the guinea pigs for this terrible AI is appalling. You do know there are a many other email platforms to use, right??

    For now, I'm going back to the old email bc this feature alone makes the new platform suck!!

  • Kevin James Kalp commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have disabled both Dynamic Content and Message Preview but these are still showing up on some messages. Turn this off!

  • Brandon Spitz commented  ·   ·  Report

    yeah dawg, i don't want an AI summary of the email. Just give me the subject line. For the love of god, please

  • Sandra Vallati commented  ·   ·  Report

    Allow for turning off the AI-Powered Summaries. If I can't turn those off I will most likely leave yahoo because I find them a waste of my time and I don't want it. It is in the way.

  • Judy Scherzer commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please provide option to turn off the AI Summaries. they are not helpful. I have to read the full email anyway, and it takes up too much space on my screen. thank you.
