  4. sort inbox by starred emails

    I am no longer able to sort my inbox by 'starred'. Meaning all the starred emails in my inbox should appear first, and none of the starred emails that have been moved to other folders. Is this a function that is no longer available to me, or are you experiencing some sort of glitch? Thanks!

  6. Sender address

    In the old version, I could hover my cursor over the sender, and it would show me the email address the message was coming from. That way I could automatically see if it's spam. That has gone away, so now I have to click on the message, check the sender's address, to determine if it's spam. It used to be that even clicking on an email was dangerous, so I don't know if this is still the case, but it's very inefficient at best as is now. Thanks!

  8. Emails not getting delivered

    I can't get any emails from Southwest airlines, they say it is something in the yahoo email server. I looked through to make sure it wasn't blocked, and it isn't. Should be a way to add an email or company to make sure that emails will get through, or to easily see what can't get through.

  9. putting AI content on the side

    I get annoyed by the AI summaries, so I have turned them off. I think my annoyance is less about them as AI or doing work I can do then it is that they take half the screen space, and it is a priority space, for the email. I bet that is the intention, but putting them elsewhere should be considered for people like me. At least to make us less annoyed at yet another tech company telling us AI is what we should be using.

  11. unread messages filter

    You should have an "unread" messages option to click on, makes searching for new emails SO much easier.

  13. Marking emails as read

    Hi! In the old Yahoo mail, there was a way to click on a blue circle (I think) to mark an email as read without having to open that up. Is this possible in the new mail?

  14. Can't MOVE my email out of span

    1. Don't like YAHOO deciding what is priority mail. I am a HUMAN BEING and can decide for myself.

    2. I can't MOVE emails that are NOT spam out of spam. The button is BROKEN. Has DOGE been messing around in our emails?

  15. what do you want in this box?

    how about having functions that actually work? like being able to mark something as not spam and being able to muve it from spam to the inbox. there appears to be no way to move something to the inbox these functions don't work. I liked the old yahoo email not this one. this is to hard to use. takes to many clicks to get what you want I can't even get the idea to post why is that?

  16. stop spam

    Why can't you stop this recent (past few months) onslaught of obvious spam? Multiple times a week identical spams come in bunches of 3 or 4. They always have a variety of random icons in the subject line and other places. On 6/13 I got 3 like this: ❉♚♞ Confirmation Needed: Your Omaha Steaks Reward ❉♚♞. It is SO OBVIOUS these are spam e-mails. I can't create a filter because the sender and subject are always different. In this day of AI, why can't you detect and block these OBVIOUS SPAM e-mails?

    This new mail sucks. I can't figure out how to add a contact (very easy with old Yahoo mail). Also, there seems to be no way to default to all mail.
