  1. Priority list is default display?:-(

    I don't like the fact that PRIORITY seems to be the default email display, not ALL. After opening and then deleting an email I am often returned to the PRIORITY list - not the ALL list that I'd been on.

    It's an annoying neuroscience to need extra keystrokes to get back to where I was.

  2. Stay on All

    The interface constantly switches to Priority and not stay on All. Maintaining my inbox (trash mail) requires lots of mouse clicks to select All. Have the interface stay on what is selected.

  3. STOP CHANGING MY EMAIL SETTINGS!!!

    STOP changing MY email settings! You do not dictate what is important to ME!! I get it set how I want it, then you change it. If I want my email different then I will make the changes! If I don't see the "Go Back" to the old version, then I am not able to go back at all?? If people are wanting changes made that's great, however, make it optional! Chances are not everyone is going to be wanting the same changes. I want to see all of my emails, not just some of them and now you have…

  4. I should get to choose what I want to show up in my priority mail!

    This new system stinks. Numerous important DAILY things show up about twice a week, like my USPS DAILY email about what's coming in my mail. The way you categorize things is just stupid to me. What I think is a priority you might not think is. We should each get to decide what we want in our priority inbox. I'm just about ready to make gmail my primary account. This NEW yahoo is so frustrating!!!! I want my classic back!!

  5. Priority emails

    I absolutely hate that you decide what are priority emails in my inbox. How do I change my email inboxes so when I access them they automatically go to "All?" Shouldn't I be the one to judge whether an email is priority? Keep your algorithms to yourself!!

  6. all

    I like the inbox categories, but give me a setting to let me default to "All". I want to see all mail, and then use the categories to filter them, but I want to start with all, and then choose to move to "Priority".

  7. All mail Is Priority Mail

    Why does the New Yahoo Mail default to "Priority" Mail first? Every piece of e-mail you receive is "Priority". The New Yahoo Mail should default to "All" first. We will see the "Priority" mail in the list of "All" mail anyway. When the New Yahoo Mail defaults to "Priority" first, you are led to believe you only have, for example, five e-mail delivered. You switch over to "All" and you find you have fifteen e-mail which needs your attention and action. If necessary, why not just make "Priority" mail a bold font or highlighted with a color tint of some…

  8. select all/mark all as read

    When will you allow us to select all or mark all as read without having to select one item first. Such a downgrade to your service.

  9. What's a priority

    I don't like how you decide what's a priority. How do you decide. Just because you think it's a priority I may not. Let me decide what's a priority.

  10. All or ???

    Just give me "all" my email right from the start, I do not need you to tell me what YOU think is a "priority", that is my decision, not yours. I have missed gobs of email till I discovered the difference. WHY OH WHY would YOU think that is a good idea? STAY OUTTA MY EMAIL.

  11. Stop putting priority emails only for the default

    I absolutely hate this feature. I have to go in and ask to see all my email EVERY time. This should be an option, not a default! It's why I keep switching back to the old email. This really sucks~

  14. Please default to 'All" email instead of Priority

    Please default to 'All" email there are important emails that are missed because of Priority is being defaulted to. I will be turning this feature off until this has been changed.

  15. MOVE ALL EMAILS THAT YOU DISAPPEARED BACK INTO INBOX

    Where are all my emails? I need all the emails restored to my email inbox before this new version unexpectedly popped up, critical information in them. What the **** did you do with them? Pleaser return my email to the old version you just wiped out. This new version is more than awful. I DON'T WANT AI GOING THRU MY EMAIL.

  16. Priority inbox not working for me.

    This is unnecessary. It causes the reader to miss emails, because not all emails are displayed as default. The reader has to change to the filter to all in order to see all emails. It would be notice to give people the choice to opt in to this priority instead of making it the default setting.

  17. Please stop forcing me back to the "Priority" page.

    Categories are useful, except for the "priority" category. I'll decide what is priority once we filter out the social and offers and other junk. If you have to have a priority tab, fine, but stop forcing it to the front; that adds an extra click every time I use the tool, which becomes infuriating very quickly.

  19. Don't sort my emails.

    I really hate the priority inbox. I don't want Yahoo to sort my emails according to what they think is priority. I am losing important emails and unable to find them.

  20. Disable Priority email classification

    Disable priority mail and display all email continually. Yahoo shouldn't decide what email is priority for clients
