Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.

  1. Spam filters not working as expected

    I am not sure of the algorithm used for Spam filtering. I am sure that I dont have any filters enabled myself, but still few important mails unnecessarily get directed to spam folder and I am not sure how many as such I would have lost. The spam protection was really good few years before (before to 2021) and with latest upgrades of yahoo mail, I am seeing this issue.

  2. Please add color labels for categories of messages

    After all these years, I'm disappointed that Yahoo Mail still only offers the very limited visual cues of Starred and Unread as ways of making certain messages stand out in the Inbox or within Folders. It would be so helpful if we were able apply color labels to certain messages, such as to flag certain ones as urgent, backburner, work, private, etc. Ideally, we would be able to edit to define the category colors for our own needs. But even if we couldn't attach a name for each color, just being able to label certain messages blue, green, orange, etc.…

  3. whitelist blacklist

    you've screwed the pooch. You blacklisted my finance provider and there's no way to get it back. filters won't help, contacts won't help, you've screwed it up. I can't call and have you fix without calling and sending you money.
    SO, create a clean, clear pathway to whitelisting a contact.

  10. Need easy access to setup email filter while going through new emails in Inbox

    When hovering over an email in the Inbox, I can take action to "Move", "Star", "Mark as Read", "Archive", "Search by Sender", "Search by Subject", "Mark as Spam" or "Block Sender".

    It would be very helpful if Yahoo could add an option for "Creating Email Filter" in the same place that would automatically place future email with the same characteristics in certain subfolders. This would allow a quick Inbox decluster.

    Right now the Email Filter feature is buried deep in the Settings page that is rather difficult to find.

  15. Now that I found my new folders and missing emails, let me decide what goes in them

    Now that I'm finished complaining that my missing emails were being filed and I didn't know that...

    I kind of like this setup, but emails are not going into the folders I would prefer they go into. I would like to make this determination, but there is no obvious way to do it.

    Please add a feature that lets me determine what goes where. Again, AI is guessing and isn't doing it my way.

    Thank you!

  16. Mailbox view is too small and appearance settings are lacking

    I do not like how small the view is. I don't like that the move, delete, star etc. covers my message in the inbox. It's annoying. It needs to be located on a separate tool bar so I can easily view the mail subject. The inbox should be wider, it is now smaller than half of the screen. And the settings does not allow me to customize the color or size of font. Your choice of purple is not a color I care for.

  17. Replace primary address with alias

    Allow users to replace their primary account email address with one of their aliases. Given enough time, the primary address is certain to fill up with spam. I want to replace my primary account address so that I can delete that address, but keep my account and my active aliases.

    I'm a yahoo plus and I hate not being able to remove the started emails pane. I don't want that stupid window floating there. If I want to see my starred emails, I will navigate to them! Give us the option to disable that!

  19. Smart Mail

    Mails that are commonly deleted by user should be sorted by your system with colors and allow users to filter their mail based on colors. this allows an easier way to sort mail out. Too often i spend time having to sort out junk mail. Its a complete waste of my time.

    Example:

    Day 1 I've opened my email and notice 250 mails. I spend time deleting the ones which are junk. 200 are junk. 25 are responses and the other 25 are important emails like bills.

    My email is cleared.

    Day 4: I do the same thing. Spend 15…
