  2. Filtering is fine, but by default, I want to see All, not Priority

    Filtering is fine, but by default, I want to see All, not Priority. How do I fix this? If I want priority, I can click on it later. I've missed important emails that your 'AI' nonsense put in another category.

If you need help reinstating, contact our CC team at help.yahoo.com. They have the tools to help with these issues. Hope this helps!

  7. Make a way for "upcoming" in the inbox to be shut off

    I don't want to see "upcoming" in my inbox. I ordered a bunch of ******** and every time I open my email, there's an Upcoming banner showing images of said ******** about how my delivery is coming tomorrow. Can we nix that?

  8. mark sender as not primary

    At the top we have "All", "Primary", "Offers", etc. I would like to mark an email or sender as not primary, so it stops showing up in the primary section. Such emails I will potentially read when I get around to it or maybe not. But I'm seeing newsletters and offers in the Primary section which isn't right.

    Hi Randy, yes correct, you cannot mark something as not primary or not an offer, this will come later. But you can move emails from one category to another category! So you can move an email from Primary to the Offers tab. Hope this helps!!

  9. The AI summary

    PLEASE tell me how I can get rid of this. I HATE it. It takes up the few spaces I can see to preview the email, it's often wrong, and I want to hear directly from my friends and colleagues - NOT from AI. PLEASE make this easier to turn off! I had it turned off at one point, but it's back on and now I can't see how to get rid of it.
    Honestly if I can't turn it off I will finally leave Yahoo .....

    HI Deborah, thanks for your feedback! Yes, the same way you turned of AI Summaries before, it still the same way. Just go to your Settings > AI features and turn it off. We will share with our team about the Setting turning itself on again. Thank you!

  10. Improve security and prevent the fishing emails

    There are too many fishing emails. Some of them, even with Yahoo's name. Like this one: Update Required for Continued Email Access
    Update your YAH00 account information. here.
    You have leaked our personal email info a few times.

  11. Spam Folder Misclassification Issue

    Dear Yahoo Support Team,

    I am experiencing an issue with my Yahoo Mail account where most of my important emails are being incorrectly routed to the Spam folder instead of my Inbox.

    This has been happening frequently and is causing me to miss important communications. It appears that the spam filter may be misclassifying legitimate emails.

    I request you to please investigate this issue and help resolve it at the earliest.

    Thank you for your support.

    Hi Rahul, thanks for the feedback. We recommend checking your Filter settings to make sure everything is going to your Inbox and if there are some emails still going to your Spam folder, please mark those as not spam. Thanks!

  12. Delete the "Type" folders

    I do not need some dumb AI to decide for me which email goes where.

    Delete those unnecessary "Primary", "Offers", "Social", and "Newsletters" categories.

    Your broken system keeps putting important emails in the WRONG folder and every time I click "Inbox", it forcibly shoves me into "Primary" when I CLEARLY want the ALL box!

    I do not want your AI, I do not need your AI, your AI is a POISON to both my system and the world as a whole.

    STOP PUTTING AI IN EVERYTHING YOU BRAIN DEAD IDIOTS!!

  14. A spam filter that works.

    How about having a spam filter that doesn't filter out emails from senders in my address book that I even have filters for and have marked as not spam several times!

    Please make sure you are marking these emails as spam instead of just deleting. Also, if they are newsletters please make sure you unsubscribe from these. We will also share this with our anti-spam team. Thank you!

  15. You have ruined my memories

    How could I trust Yahoo to keep my email intact safely.
    Worst decision in the history of your company - deleting all my data.

    This is terrible, absolutely irredeemable.

  16. Please Stop With The Annoying 7 Day Inbox Challenges! (I Can't Get Rid of Them-HELP!)

    I accidently joined the 7 Day Yahoo Mail inbox challenge on the account I am logged into currently, and now I can't log out! There is a quick way, but you have to go to the Yahoo Mail prompt on the top left of the screen. Than you have about 10 seconds to log out as the challenge goes away before it loads back again Get rid of this NOW!

  18. Delete the priority inbox

    I don't like the priority inbox. I have to constantly switch to "all." Please allow an option to delete the priority inbox. It is an extra and annoying step.

  20. Show the email address instead of To:Me in the header

    At present the Yahoo Mail user interface shows the To: value as Me. This is not helpful as one of the several aliases may have been used. To see the correct and actual address I need to click on the Me to see the address which is a needless step like in many other places in the UI.
    This is a bug that needs to be fixed
