  2. Get rid of Primary and let me decide what is important

    Please let my email open to "all" and not "primary". Let me decide what is important. At least give that as an option.

  3. Notify users of changes

    This morning I went to Primary inbox to find changes. Changes I was not aware that were going to happen. I personally do not like the changes to the Primary inbox. Not a good look. Hard to find what I was looking for. Other major email service companies such as Google gives you notifications of changes. That would be nice if Yahoo could do the same.

  4. Objectional emails

    Sir/Madam,
    The emails are coming recently to my email containing obscene nude photos. I am deleting them everyday. The senders are different. So, it is now difficult to use this official email in such condition.
    With regards,
    S Sarkar

    Please do not delete these types of emails. They will keep coming to your Inbox. Instead, please mark these emails as spam. This will help your spam filters and keeps them out of your Inbox. Thanks.

  5. Where are the "settings?"

    "You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox."

    OK, but where are the "settings?"

  7. You give too little storage space.

    You only give 15gb of storage for email now. You took away my unlimited storage. I have had this account since 2006. Twenty years! This is by far the scummiest thing I think any company anywhere has ever done. Your greed will destroy you. You are in a fast race to the bottom. Cutting back storage to 15gb is in effect forcing people to pay for storage. I will not be manipulated like that. You are by far the worst company in America.

    Yes, we've announced some storage changes to align more with the market changes. Most email clients have made this change already. If you have additional questions on the storage changes, please feel free to check out our FAQs: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/yahoo-mail-storage-faq-sln37064.html.

  8. Keeping older emails in the inbox

    I don't have an idea, I have a complaint. I had years' worth of "read" emails that I had saved in my inbox & all of a sudden they were completely deleted & erased from my inbox. I don't know why that was done, but those were emails that were a) sentimental b/c the senders are deceased; b) very important for my financing and c) contained personal information that I needed for recent & future transactions. They are all gone & I can't find them in any of the other folders. Please leave the inboxes alone even if the emails…

  10. Block domain for an email directly from the email

    Would be nice to block a domain for a sender of unwanted emails directly when I am in the email just like I can block a particular sender. It would save a lot of steps related to having to open setting and then go the the security/privacy selection to accomplish this task. Would make the process more effective and easier.

  11. Inbox default and CalendarTab

    I want to be able to change the default setting so when I open the inbox, it defaults all emails and not the primary emails. What an unnecessary pain to change tabs just to see what I'mm missing. Also, accessing the calendar page now requires one to click on the "More Tab" and then "Calendar." Please add a Calendar Tab along side All- Primary-Offers-Social-Newsletters.

  12. Default my main mailbox to showing All emails

    Why does my main mailbox default to hiding a lot of my emails?
    This is useless. Every time I open my mail, I need to change it back so I can see whatever Yahoo has decided I might not want.
    At least remember my previous selection or make it a toggleable option somewhere.

  14. Allow more customizations for notifications

    Please add more customizing of notifications. I can't stand that I get notifications for 'daily check ins' or 'catch ups' with my mail. I also can't stand that when I open my email, it defaults to showing only Primary emails instead of All emails. Please improve.

  18. Improve spam filters instead of adding other garbage

    I only use my Yahoo email address for websites I don't fully trust (marketing/newsletters/loyalty programs), so about 75% of my daily email is spam from third-party companies, data breach email lists, etc. I don't mean junk I subscribed to, I mean "your cloud account is suspended", "get your free dewalt tool likt", etc. spam. I don't go a day without having to mark at least one email, usually more, as spam instead of being filtered.

    If you really want people to use your product more, work on better spam filtering instead of newer layouts and the "inbox cleanup challenge" garbage.…

  19. Improve spam detection

    I have received over 2,000 spam emails in the last year and a half, a problem I don't have with my other inboxes. I am starting to think that you sold my data.

  20. Make e-mail summaries at the top of the email optional! They delay me, wasting my time, and are not dependable. I HATE THEM!!!

    I want to get rid of the summaries that appear at the top of each email. Some people may like them. I HATE THEM! At least give us the option of getting rid of them.
