Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off
Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.

  3. PROBLEM WITH UPGRADING TO HAVE MORE STORAGE, NOT LIVING IN THE USA, BUT IN SWITZERLAND, AND THUS OPERATION NOT A CCEPTED

    Good morning,
    My account is "luisperezbayas@yahoo.com"and I am located in SWITZERLAND.

    I am informed that MY MAILBOX STORAGE IS FULL.

    But when I want to upgrade BY ADDING STORAGE, I fill every slot with the right information (Name, Address)

  4. Priority is flawed!

    I missed three important emails today because I didn't realize Priority was selected instead of all. Not sure how to change emails so the ones that I want are priority.

    I prefer the old Yahoo mail.

  5. I didn't ask for a Priority Inbox

    I didn't ask for a "priority inbox". You don't know me and you don't know what my ******* priorities are. So ******** and let me see all of my emails, including the ones you hid from me that I really needed to answer but didn't even see existing.

  6. How do you set mail to view "All" mail not "Priority" mail?

    How do you have "All" mail appear rather than "Priority"? I always want to see all my mail.

  7. storage

    I have been trying to work on the storage of my emails for the last three weeks but every time I go to delete my archived emails the system says it has deleted all messages but I go back and it still has over 750,000 emails. How can I delete the emails to leave space for my storage? I am trying to delete so not to pay for the service. Many services are tied to this account.

  10. my mailbox

    Why and how you deleted ALL my mail from my inbox since April 2nd 2025 to 18th of August 2025,and the most of other years, without any asking?!!!
    It was important mail for me there.
    I have thought better about you.
    Or it is special treat just for me?
    Or it is "ohh we cut it without asking" treat ?

  11. When visiting the home page layout. Priority Vs. ALL (Mailbox layout)

    When I first open up my Yahoo Mail, I don't want to see the Priority Inbox category.
    I want to see ALL my emails when I first log in. I don't want to have to click on ALL category each and every single time.

    Please correct. Thank you.

  12. Categories for emails

    I'm not liking that my emails are marked Priority. Also not caring for the fact that All button. I've missed it a few times after logging in and missed emails I was was waiting on or looking for. Pretty unnecessary to group them like that.

  14. Give people the option to default to All vs Priority

    Why does the inbox default to priority? I don't like it. Of course, I'm not like most people. I probably have 2 messages in my inbox and I unsubscribe/mark as spam from all junk.

  17. "Priority Inbox" feature has NO CLUE what's a priority!

    ANOTHER USELESS FEATURE to the "new" yahoo mail that needs to be thrown away.
    Your "Priority Inbox" feature has NO CLUE what's a priority!!! What I'm mostly seeing in this "Priority Inbox" feature is **** and spam! The "Priority Inbox" should NOT be the FIRST inbox that you get as it gives you a sense that you have far less "new" mail than what you actually have. The "Priority Inbox" also has the knack of actually filtering OUT what is most important. It would be nice if it did any kind of a useful job but that is NOT what…

  18. New Format may be Lacking old features

    I don't see an option for changing sort order, i.e., by Sender, Date, size, etc.

    N.B. You have removed in the new layout a way of editing one's folders. A big loss!
