  1. Remove Yahoo Scout

    I received an email that said my son was dead because your AI is so flawed!! Imagine getting an email from your childs school and the giant headline is your childs name passing and describing how they trragically passed away! This is not acceptable. My wife was hysterical,This is not OK!!
    It was an email from the school about a student that passed away and it was regarding my son because he was in the same class and that is what Yahoo Scout created.

  3. Why do I have to select ALL?

    Why do I have to select ALL in my inbox to view all of my new e-mails?
    I do NOT want Yahoo to just show me what IT DETERMINES is MY PRIORITY emails.
    I WANT TO SEE ALL OF THE NEW E,MAILS AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECT ALL !!!!
    This is a TERRIBLE feature of the new Yahoo email.

  4. All messages default; trash can icon for multiple delete option

    I want to default to the "all" setting for the inbox, not the "primary" setting. I know what's a primary email, and AI doesn't. How do I do that?

    Why isn't there a trash can icon for deleting multiple selected email messages at the same time?

  5. Ability to Choose Folder for Certain Emails

    Please let us choose what goes in in the priority email. I waste so much time looking for items since I can't use the ALL button all the time.

  6. Give back our storage with ads

    To Yahoo Mail Product Team,

    I am writing as a long-time user to express my disappointment regarding the recent reduction of free Yahoo Mail storage from 1TB to just 20GB. Many users, including myself, chose Yahoo Mail specifically because its 1TB offer far exceeded what other providers like Gmail and Outlook provided and positioned Yahoo as a uniquely user-friendly leader in the market.

    The drastic reduction—a 98% cut—directly affects users who relied on Yahoo for archiving and managing years of important emails, attachments, and memories. While it is true that not every user fills a terabyte, a 20GB limit is…

  7. Default Mailbox to "All"

    Hate that my e-mail defaults to "priority." Have to go through an extra click when I have mail. And frankly, I don't trust you guys to know what a priority is to me.

  10. 'Primary' vs. 'All' tabs

    How do I make the mailbox stop automatically going to the 'Primary' tab? I'd prefer it to be on the 'All' tab all the time.

  11. Comcast.net assured me my email could be kept.

    To forward the email that is no longer comcast.net you are trying to charge a monthly fee. Won't work.
    Shove it where the sun don't shine. Changed all my accounts and no longer need it.
    I thought Comcast was greedy and disingenuous but Yahoo takes it to a new level. No wonder the platform failed in the 2016.
    I had no idea Yahoo was still around. Not just ads but Monthly fees too? Up yours.You too Verison and Comcast.
    I see now Comcast/xfinity is now giving 5 year prices to get customers that they lost by lying about pricing. LOL

  12. unsubscribe popup

    Give the option to disable the unsubscribe popup. As I click to view the email, the popup appears and a click the popup instead of the email. I then have to back out and click a different part of the email.

    Annoying and a waste of my time. Maybe make it a right mouse click instead?

  18. Allow me to select All Mail as my default mailbox not priority

    I absolutely hate that priority mail is the default mailbox. You don't know what my priorities are. I am missing important emails because they are not showing up in my inbox. Allowing a user to select "all mail" as their default would solve this problem.

  19. DO NOT SEPARATE OUT MY EMAILS!!!

    I DO NOT WANT A "PRIORITY" INBOX OR SEPARATE INBOXES FOR PROMOTIONAL OR SUBSCRIPTIONS. I like having everything all together, and I just delete what I don't want to see. It is MUCH WORSE to have them separated. All i want to see is the "ALL" inbox, nothing else. I just hate having them separated. I also really hated having the AI previews as well. I DO NOT want those included! Please don't change my yahoo mail again, I hate the way you changed it.

  20. Inbox list: please default "ALL" as primary sorting
