    I hate this - why does it always change back to the priority setting even after just an hour?

  3. Please default to 'All" email instead of Priority

    Please default to 'All" email there are important emails that are missed because of Priority is being defaulted to. I will be turning this feature off until this has been changed.

  4. MOVE ALL EMAILS THAT YOU DISAPPEARED BACK INTO INBOX

    Where are all my emails? I need all the emails restored to my email inbox before this new version unexpectedly popped up, critical information in them. What the **** did you do with them? Pleaser return my email to the old version you just wiped out. This new version is more than awful. I DON'T WANT AI GOING THRU MY EMAIL.

  5. Priority inbox not working for me.

    This is unnecessary. It causes the reader to miss emails, because not all emails are displayed as default. The reader has to change to the filter to all in order to see all emails. It would be notice to give people the choice to opt in to this priority instead of making it the default setting.

  6. Please stop forcing me back to the "Priority" page.

    Categories are useful, except for the "priority" category. I'll decide what is priority once we filter out the social and offers and other junk. If you have to have a priority tab, fine, but stop forcing it to the front; that adds an extra click every time I use the tool, which becomes infuriating very quickly.

  8. Don't sort my emails.

    I really hate the priority inbox. I don't want Yahoo to sort my emails according to what they think is priority. I am losing important emails and unable to find them.

  9. Disable Priority email classification

    Disable priority mail and display all email continually. Yahoo shouldn't decide what email is priority for clients

  10. 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.

  11. 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"?

  13. 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.

  14. "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…

  15. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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?

    Thank you!
