Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.

    One change you'll see is a new feature called Inbox Categories. So you'll see at the top of your Inbox, your emails are now organized in Categories. If you're not seeing all your emails, it might be because you're in the Priority tab. Please go to your "All" tab so you can see all your emails. Thanks.


  3. Bring back one-click "Mark as Read" from the unread indicator

    First of all, I'd like to say that the new Yahoo Mail UI looks fantastic. It's modern, clean, intuitive, and feels like a significant improvement over the previous version. I really appreciate the effort your team has put into enhancing the overall user experience.

    However, there's one feature from the old UI that I truly miss.

    Previously, users could simply click/tap the unread indicator (blue dot/circle) next to an email to instantly toggle it between Read and Unread without opening the email. This was an extremely quick and efficient way to triage an inbox.

    In the current UI, marking emails…

    Hi there, yes clicking on the purple dot, opens the email, but you can still mark an email as unread without opening it or multi-selecting.

    When looking at your Inbox, hover over the email and a set of icons will appear to the right. One of them is the unread icon. Thanks!

  4. Yahoo! Do better at preventing spam emails!!!

    I erase and block about 25+ emails a day. I don't have this problem with gmail??? You could do better to prevent this from happening!

    Are these legit junk emails or newsletter/promotional type emails from stores, etc? Big difference. For legit spammy emails, please "mark as spam" instead of deleting. For other coupon/promotional type emails like from stores, unsubscribe, at one point (even if you don't remember) you subscribed to these emails. Hope this helps!

  5. Give me back my lost e-mails

    In the switch to the new e-mail, I lost very important e-mails. The only thing that I didn't seem to lose was a raft of old newsletters. I am missing e-mails from my insurance, from medical, from friends - all kinds of contact info was lost.

  6. Get rid of spam

    Recently my inbox is full of spam. It is incredibly obnoxious. I think some improved filters to help me not have to sort out 10+ spam emails from my main inbox would be wonderful.

    I don't know if something changed recently since this didn't used to happen as often? It would be great if it stopped though.

    Please make sure you are marking these emails as spam instead of just deleting. Also, if they are newsletters please make sure you unsubscribe from these. We will also share this with our anti-spam team. Thank you!


  7. 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.

  8. The ability to sort unread messages by sender name

    The ability to sort unread messages by senders name needs to be an option! The option was once there but didn't work. The request has been asked for months and there are no update or changes made. This isn't difficult especially since its an option in most other folders. Please add the option to sort by sender name AND have it sort correctly. Thank you.

    Hi Denise, thanks for the feedback. The sorting by sender was already fixed back in May! Are you still seeing the issue? You're sorting by sender and it's not working? Can you send us a video of this please? Along with your browser and browser version. Please send to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Thank you!

  11. "Catagories" needs to be editable and more reliable

    It's too unreliable to be usable. It hides too many important things that have to be searched for later on. I found a way to move items into other categories, but it doesn't remember my choices and was a waste of my time. I have had to tell people to start using my gmail account rather than getting items lost here.

    Thanks David. We are trying to improve Inbox Categories. When moving emails to another category, it SHOULD remember that, but we will share this with team and see what's going on.

    Also, if you're not happy with Inbox Categories, but want to stay with Yahoo, you can disable Inbox Categories and go back to having just one Inbox. It can be disabled under your Settings. Thanks!

  12. How do I fix my emails from going directly to the trash?

If you need help reinstating, contact our CC team at help.yahoo.com. They have the tools to help with these issues. Hope this helps!

  17. Make a way for "upcoming" in the inbox to be shut off

    I don't want to see "upcoming" in my inbox. I ordered a bunch of ******** and every time I open my email, there's an Upcoming banner showing images of said ******** about how my delivery is coming tomorrow. Can we nix that?

  18. mark sender as not primary

    At the top we have "All", "Primary", "Offers", etc. I would like to mark an email or sender as not primary, so it stops showing up in the primary section. Such emails I will potentially read when I get around to it or maybe not. But I'm seeing newsletters and offers in the Primary section which isn't right.

    Hi Randy, yes correct, you cannot mark something as not primary or not an offer, this will come later. But you can move emails from one category to another category! So you can move an email from Primary to the Offers tab. Hope this helps!!

  19. The AI summary

    PLEASE tell me how I can get rid of this. I HATE it. It takes up the few spaces I can see to preview the email, it's often wrong, and I want to hear directly from my friends and colleagues - NOT from AI. PLEASE make this easier to turn off! I had it turned off at one point, but it's back on and now I can't see how to get rid of it.
    Honestly if I can't turn it off I will finally leave Yahoo .....

    HI Deborah, thanks for your feedback! Yes, the same way you turned of AI Summaries before, it still the same way. Just go to your Settings > AI features and turn it off. We will share with our team about the Setting turning itself on again. Thank you!

  20. Improve security and prevent the fishing emails

    There are too many fishing emails. Some of them, even with Yahoo's name. Like this one: Update Required for Continued Email Access
    Update your YAH00 account information. here.
    You have leaked our personal email info a few times.
