  1. Open ALL tab when I go to my Inbox instead of highlighting the Priority tab

    The emails you seem to consider priority are not the ones I consider priority. How can I get the email to open to the ALL tab automatically instead of having to click on it.

  2. How to disable the "Priority" function?

    How can I disable the "Priority" function in this new e mail system? It is a huge waste of time for me continually having to go back and click "All"! How can I delete an e mail address that keeps coming up, but it is not in my "Contacts"?

  4. Stupid priority inbox

    This thing sucks. I missed a few important emails because apparently they weren't deemed as priority. I did not realize that you have to click "All" for it to show all messages in my inbox every time you log in. should be default set to "All" instead of "priority". Yahoo has no idea what is a priority to me or not.

  5. "Priority"

    ...I think you got it backwards - I ALWAYS go to "ALL" FIRST, and then if need be, check in with "PRIORITY".
    "Priority" LACKS the stuff I am looking for on a DAILY basis.

    The way you have it set up, I gotta always make an EXTRA "click" to get to "ALL" because that is where what I want "happens".

    I would be delighted if I didn't always have to click onto "ALL" because your new email first goes to Priority.

    A small perv yes, but why the priority first when it's more useful to me that ALL comes up…

  6. Priority inbox

    I don't like the fact that every time I go to check my mail it shows the priority mailbox. I keep changing it to see all of my email and it keeps changing back. It's a pain. Also, I don't like the new version and I can't go back.

  8. please stop moving me over to the priority tab by default

    it's already a pain ********** to clear my inbox out but every time I switch over to another tab I don't want to be yanked back to priority. "All" should be the default and whatever tab you've selected you should stay on until you change it yourself. This is basic stuff. Come on. The new layout is still awful overall and I'd rather go back to old yahoo.

  9. Provide my old emails. Currently, they are missing. I feel violated.

    I just gained access to my yahoo.com account for the first time in a year. Where are all of my emails?
    They're missing and not in the Archive folder. Please help me find my emails?

  12. Get rid of priority box

    Please please don't make it so when I first open my mail it shows 'priority'
    so many actually important emails I miss because I forget to check 'all, it's so horrible. Or at least ad an option to choose what folder you want it it to default to.

  13. Make sure that all emails delivered.

    How come I miss some emails (e.g. from Nature journals) in my Inbox on my workstation whereas I see them on my phone connected via wifi also at work. I was gonna read the Nature journals online on the big screen but the emails are missing. Disconcerting! The emails are not in any other boxes, checked.

  14. remove priority inbox.

    Priority Inbox has caused me to miss messages, and even meetings. It SUCKS. Remove it. NOW. It's not helpful and I'm going to stop using yahoo if you don't. If I can't get my messages? It's useless to me. do better.

  17. Stop prioritizing my emails

    Please take away the Priority emails. It is especially annoying when I switch to show "All" emails, then open an email, and then my. Inbox goes back to "Priority." Please let me see all of my emails, all the time.

  18. make prioritymail an option

    i just missed an important mail in time because the system had putted the priority mode on and did not think that it was priority. Looks very random what is chosen as priority. Do not agree with the choices made and would like to disable priority option. is it possible. looks like it always start there by default. I did not ask for the new edition, and have no choise to go back to old.

  19. Get rid of Priority mail

    I HATE the priority inbox!

    --Who decides the priority? Certainly not me!

    --It seems that priority is decided by who paid the most to become my "priority".
    --Why do I keep getting switched into the priority mailbox when I don't care about it?

    --How can I get rid of it?
