  1. The New Organization of Inboxes Is Terrible

    Hello,

    You recently implemented a new method of organizing my inbox that divides my emails into various categories: Priority, Offers, Social, Newsletters. Unfortunately, whatever method you use to identify which emails go into certain categories is frequently incorrect, to the point where I have had important personal messages identified as Newsletters and Offers several times. Worse, the inbox defaults to the Priority messages, many of which are not a priority for me at all, meaning I have to navigate away from one inbox to view a specific categorical inbox, or the All inbox.

    The load times for switching from one…

  2. Fix the Blocked address feature

    The amount of junk that reaches my inbox compared to other email platforms, such as Gmail, is exorbitant. I've tried everything from reporting the mail as spam, blocking addresses, unsubscribing, and hitting the "ignore conversation" button...nothing works. Why doesn't junk mail filter properly? Do I need to pay for this feature to work? Out of 100 emails, 88% are junk that I didn't ask for, and I've tried to stop at least 100 times. Please fix this!

  3. stop hiding incoming unread mail

    Please stop making Priority the default view. I want to see ALL mail by default. And why are my Offers hidden?? They don't even show up on the ALL view. I think you guys don't know what ALL means. You certainly don't know how to identify spam. No amount of training improves your spam filters. They need to filter based on subject as well as sender.

  4. Please stop shoving your new "features" down my throat!!! So annoying!! I don't need you second guessing what I want to

    Please stop shoving your new "features" down my throat!!! So annoying!! I don't need you second guessing what I want to look at. The default in the inbox now that you forced me into the new version is "Priority" - I want "All" to be shown. Please stop using the AI hammer to hit on anything that looks remotely like a nail!

  5. priority

    Priority should not be the default. Yahoo does not not what a priority is to me. I just discovered that I had been missing numerous important emails because Yahoo did not feel they were a priority, and the fact that I was only being shown "priority" emails instead of All was not obvious. The feature was not announced and was not easy to see. It also meant that a lot of emails built up in my inbox, without me even being aware of them.

  10. Take away priority inbox and AI features

    i hate the new layout of what the email looks like on the web and how it tries to separate priority emails for me, its always wrong and makes me miss emails that are actually important.

  11. Inbox Categories? No thank you.

    Hey Yahoo, I'm really disappointed at the recent inclusion of Inbox Categories - I avoid other mail servers specifically because of these. If you're really intent on implementing them, I'd like an opt-out setting where they don't appear in my inbox. This is not conducive to the way I use my inbox and represents an unwelcome change making my email noticeably harder on every visit, especially on mobile.

    Have been very happy with your service for a long time, and am disappointed to see you just replicating your larger competitors.

  12. Eliminate synopsis of personal email

    Basically, by offering an option to return to the previous version! I read, where you have suggested to try it. I have, and it is terrible. I have and I don't like several things about it...1. the inbox is too cluttered, and the shadowy layout used for read mail is difficult for me to read. 2. The AI synopsis of my incoming personal email. Even though I realize there is no real privacy online, I consider this intrusive, unnecessary for personal mail, and a gross invasion of my privacy. Remember, "new and improved" isn't always better. Sometimes, as in this…

  13. Your priorities aren't my priorities

    Please change the default - you have no idea what my priorities are, and in most cases you're wrong. After a couple weeks, I still despise this new layout.

  15. priority

    Any way to STOP this from trying to guess what I consider a priority? Or at least make the software default to "ALL". Seriously annoying that it flips back to Priority EVERY time I do anything.

  19. Yahoo email is turning into a real menace.

    Yahoo email is turning into a real menace. I have no reason to ever go to Offers, Social or Newsletters. But when I do I find hordes of emails that should be in my inbox, yet I have no way of moving them there from these three totally superfluous imposed without my agreement folders. This is simply Automated Idiocy. I wonder when Karma will strike.

  20. Stop sorting my email into categories

    Get rid of this. I didn't ask for this, I don't want it, and there is no way for me to turn it off. I do not want my email separated into categories, I am not a child who needs someone to hold their hand.
