  2. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. receiving emails to to my account

    I think it would be perfect if I could receive same emails to my account for both pc browser and app in android phone. Now it seems that I don't receive same emails to my pc using yahoo via chrome browser.

    Just an idea

  10. Priority list is default display?:-(

    I don't like the fact that PRIORITY seems to be the default email display, not ALL. After opening and then deleting an email I am often returned to the PRIORITY list - not the ALL list that I'd been on.

    It's an annoying neuroscience to need extra keystrokes to get back to where I was.

  11. Stay on All

    The interface constantly switches to Priority and not stay on All. Maintaining my inbox (trash mail) requires lots of mouse clicks to select All. Have the interface stay on what is selected.

  12. STOP CHANGING MY EMAIL SETTINGS!!!

    STOP changing MY email settings! You do not dictate what is important to ME!! I get it set how I want it, then you change it. If I want my email different then I will make the changes! If I don't see the "Go Back" to the old version, then I am not able to go back at all?? If people are wanting changes made that's great, however, make it optional! Chances are not everyone is going to be wanting the same changes. I want to see all of my emails, not just some of them and now you have…

  13. I should get to choose what I want to show up in my priority mail!

    This new system stinks. Numerous important DAILY things show up about twice a week, like my USPS DAILY email about what's coming in my mail. The way you categorize things is just stupid to me. What I think is a priority you might not think is. We should each get to decide what we want in our priority inbox. I'm just about ready to make gmail my primary account. This NEW yahoo is so frustrating!!!! I want my classic back!!

  14. Priority emails

    I absolutely hate that you decide what are priority emails in my inbox. How do I change my email inboxes so when I access them they automatically go to "All?" Shouldn't I be the one to judge whether an email is priority? Keep your algorithms to yourself!!

  15. all

    I like the inbox categories, but give me a setting to let me default to "All". I want to see all mail, and then use the categories to filter them, but I want to start with all, and then choose to move to "Priority".

  16. All mail Is Priority Mail

    Why does the New Yahoo Mail default to "Priority" Mail first? Every piece of e-mail you receive is "Priority". The New Yahoo Mail should default to "All" first. We will see the "Priority" mail in the list of "All" mail anyway. When the New Yahoo Mail defaults to "Priority" first, you are led to believe you only have, for example, five e-mail delivered. You switch over to "All" and you find you have fifteen e-mail which needs your attention and action. If necessary, why not just make "Priority" mail a bold font or highlighted with a color tint of some…

  17. select all/mark all as read

    When will you allow us to select all or mark all as read without having to select one item first. Such a downgrade to your service.

  18. What's a priority

    I don't like how you decide what's a priority. How do you decide. Just because you think it's a priority I may not. Let me decide what's a priority.

  19. All or ???

    Just give me "all" my email right from the start, I do not need you to tell me what YOU think is a "priority", that is my decision, not yours. I have missed gobs of email till I discovered the difference. WHY OH WHY would YOU think that is a good idea? STAY OUTTA MY EMAIL.

  20. Stop putting priority emails only for the default

    I absolutely hate this feature. I have to go in and ask to see all my email EVERY time. This should be an option, not a default! It's why I keep switching back to the old email. This really sucks~
