  1. 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.

  2. 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…

  3. 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.

  5. '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.

  7. Primary inbox

    I am missing emails because of this Primary tab prioritization.
    I need an ALL option to be my default, and currently I cannot change the default setting.
    Please, consider it.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

    We encourage you to read at the top of the Uservoice header (forum). There we provide What’s New, Coming Soon and some Tips. There we mention how to disable Inbox Categories: All, Priority, etc. Definitely read those as we update them with useful information. Thanks.

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

    the inbox sorting at the top should default to "ALL" and be a user setting if any other default is desired

  13. Way too much spam not filtered - its so easy to do

    You guys havent figured out how to root out simple spam - cant believe you guys dont have the expertise like Google and others. So many goes into our inbox and simple domain check shows all nonsense domains adveritsing as Comcast, Netflix, paypal, costco etc. Very simple to block it and you should reach out to yahoo mail users for easy fixes. I am sure there are so many folks who can help you make yahoo mail one of the best.

  14. unread mail doesn't show up on primary list

    Yahoo tab at the top of my browser shows I have new mail. When I click on the mail tab, primary mail is listed (as default) but there is no unread mail shown. If I click on the "all" tab I can see unread mail here along with everything in my "primary" listing. Why doesn't unread mail just show up on my primary list like it used to? Alternately, if I could make the "all" list the default setting I would immediately see the unread mail. Why is it when programmers "improve" a program they seem to break more stuff?

  18. SPAM

    There is a major problem with Spam emails. No matter how many filters I set, senders block, send to spam, etc., there are emails that are making it to my inbox. The addresses are complexly long-charactered and the spam/junk filters just aren't doing what they are supposed to. This does not happen on any other email client.

  19. Why did you make the option to block spam emails disappear

    Why did you make the option to tick all and easily block all the email senders in spam go away. You made it disappear and now the three lines only let you star and unstar it's so annoying. The new email has all kinds of features that appear and disappear at random and you can no longer use them. Please bring the permanant blocking for spam back. Please allow us to use control plus and make the mail big enough and stop telling us to go to basic if we want to do that. You didn't use to do that…

  20. Poor Spam Filter

    Your spam filter is literally non-functional and you need to do something about this as I've recently been receiving lots of spam emails.

    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!
