  1. Less Spam

    I've gotten way more spam in the last few months. I don't want to leave this account behind, but if 95% of my emails in my inbox are spam, there's a point where managing becomes not worth it.

    If you're having account or sign-in issues, please contact our Customer Care team at help.yahoo.com. They are separate from the Yahoo Mail team. They resolve these types of issues and have the tools to help. Hope this helps. Thanks!

  4. Allow the user to select fixed sorting priorities instead of Yahoo arbitrarily changing the setting.

    Allow me to permanently select "All" as the filter for emails. You FORCE the selection to "Priority" without my input thereby causing me to not see new emails in a timely manner. I AM TIRED OF HAVING TO MAKE THIS REQUEST.

  6. "All" needs to be the default folder view of Yahoo Mail

    How can I make "All" my default box? Hate this new tool forced onto me ... just like I hated the new Yahoo.Finance forced onto me. For the life of me I cannot understand why Yahoo developers are forcing inferior products onto its consumer base. Just makes NO sense, at all. Unless, of course, the aim is to drive them off the platform.

  7. Why am I not getting all of my emails from my Cox email account?

    As of a few days ago (that I noticed) I am not receiving all of my emails on my desktop from my Cox email address. This is concerning as I get some very important emails that I only know that I am not getting here is because I do get them on my phone. It is important that I be able to access these emails because I need to attach items from my desktop in my responses.

  8. Email Summary, Why?

    Not sure if this belongs in Priority Inbox, but what's the point in an email summary? I can see the email right there and can read it. Priority Inbox? Now I have to trust that your AI isn't going to hide an important email from me? I think not.

  9. Simplify format and viewing options.

    This format is terrible. Multiple inboxes and the inability to easily sort be sender is terrible. It's like gMail but worse.

  10. primary

    I want the option of which category to pick for my email account to open to. I don't want Primary. I want ALL. If i want to filter down, that is great. But I don't want to have to remember to click thru other categories to see any email. I don't have that many and I don't want category dictated to me.

  11. 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.

  13. 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.

    HOW DO I UNDO THIS!?! PLEASE?

  14. 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?

  15. 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.

  16. 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…

  17. 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.

  20. '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.
