  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!!

  5. 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!

  7. 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.

  9. 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

  11. block illegitimate email

    Yahoo needs to block emails that fail authentication checks for legitimate email.
    Auth Results: SPF=fail DKIM=unknown DMARC=unknown
    The above example should never be allowed to hit my inbox. Fix it or I'm leaving you.

  12. new emails go into 'unread' rather than 'inbox'

    I don't like that most new emails go into 'unread' and only some go into 'inbox'. Seems it would make sense for all new emails to first show up as 'inbox' and I can move them to 'unread' if I choose. It would be helpful to double space between each date to better identify new mail.

  13. HOW MANY UNREAD MESSAGES?

    NOT a fan of this (unrequested) change. AT all. Immediately can't see how many UNREAD emails I have. Just to begin with. It's really not that easy. God, after all these years, do have to find another platform? Or just switch to GMAIL? God! No thanks!

  14. Not GETTING MY EMAILS

    I just found out that after over 25 years of using my yahoo account my email is full in fact over 128% over. I decided to pay the $5 a month. I still have no emails for nearly a month. I need to get my **** from today.

  15. Sort Inbox by Sender name

    In the last version of Yahoo Mail, I could sort my Inbox by Sender Name, and it alphabetized the list of emails in my Inbox. That helped me easily delete the scams and stuff I wasn't interested -- especially the ads that pile up. I selected. Now that feature's gone, and I'm about ready to scream! Why do you tech people always think when you change something, you're actually making it more user friendly? We don't all think like you.

  18. Sort by Email Size

    Please add a feature that will sort emails by size. This will allow people to review and delete the emails taking up the most space quickly. Thank you.

    We do have this as a sorting option except we don't call it "Sort by Size" but instead "Largest First." So you can click on that as a sorting option and the biggest emails that are the issue with storage limitations is the ones that should be reviewed first and then deleted. Thanks!

  19. Mailbox for subscriptions

    Gmail has it where you can see your subscriptions, it would be nice to have this option in yahoo as well. It will be easier to get rid or unsubscribe from them.

  20. Snooze button

    A button that can snooze an email til a later time or date. Email would go into a Snoozed folder, but show back up in the inbox at the designated time. Snoozed folder could be accessed just like any other folder for changes or switches.
