  2. Give people the option to default to All vs Priority

    Why does the inbox default to priority? I don't like it. Of course, I'm not like most people. I probably have 2 messages in my inbox and I unsubscribe/mark as spam from all junk.

  5. "Priority Inbox" feature has NO CLUE what's a priority!

    ANOTHER USELESS FEATURE to the "new" yahoo mail that needs to be thrown away.
    Your "Priority Inbox" feature has NO CLUE what's a priority!!! What I'm mostly seeing in this "Priority Inbox" feature is **** and spam! The "Priority Inbox" should NOT be the FIRST inbox that you get as it gives you a sense that you have far less "new" mail than what you actually have. The "Priority Inbox" also has the knack of actually filtering OUT what is most important. It would be nice if it did any kind of a useful job but that is NOT what…

  6. New Format may be Lacking old features

    I don't see an option for changing sort order, i.e., by Sender, Date, size, etc.

    N.B. You have removed in the new layout a way of editing one's folders. A big loss!

  11. Priority BOT

    First day of services was August 1st, 2025. AI filters are unable to decide what I deem as a Priority message. These changes are beyond invasive.

    It’s also very deceptive for Yahoo to hide a large percentage of messages in the “ALL” tab, making it more difficult to manage the new storage restriction and charge for mail service. These are marketing tricks that I will not abide by.

  12. Inbox sorting

    How do I make the default set to "ALL" instead of "PRIORITY" emails? And it is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous that I have to pay to speak to someone on the phone!!! I have looked everywhere for help to my question and it's nowhere to be found. Yahoo is so user UNfriendly!!

  14. Priority and All Email Setting

    Please advise me how I can return to my previous Yahoo Mail. There is much I dislike about the new version. Having to manually select "All", search for ''spam and deleted messages and default being "Priority" are a nuisance to me.

  17. default to all

    I would prefer the initial page of my yahoo emails defaulted to "all" instead of "priority". I've been unable to find a way to do so myself. Yahoo's algorithms, or ai, has failed to effectively determine my priorities, and if I don't remember to click the "all" button, I miss out on important emails.

    Thank you for giving customers a chance to provide feedback and for anything that can be done to make this change.

  18. Priority Inbox

    Priority and All categories are frustrating. I'd love it if you got rid of priority or if the default was "all" and you could switch to priority.

  20. priority inbox

    Filters seem to only allow us to send things to folders. I want to be able to control what appears in the priority inbox. Allow us to filter to Priority instead of having to dig in "All" to find something.
