  2. New navigation

    I have a few issues with the new Email from Yahoo. While I miss the old version as it was easier to use and read, I realize the need to modernizing. I am OK with using the new Yahoo however there are two issues that drive me nuts.
    First, I would prefer to have the option of which email box to default. I am always being directed to the PRIMARY box and even after a page refresh, it continues to default to that box. I would prefer to use the ALL inbox. Can a configuration setting be created for this.…

  3. seeing all of the page.

    I hate this new version. If I click the view all tab I can't see all the messages (they are up so high on the page they are not retrievable. I also can't access the delete etc. tabs on the top of the page.

  4. Get Rid of AI Summary

    Nobody wants. your stupid AI summary shoved down our throats. Knock it off. Look, I get it. Your CEO and other upper level managers are clearly as dumb as box of ******* rocks. They are either lying to themselves about what AI is and what it can do, or they are the dumbest people on the planet. AI is a tool, nothing more. Right now, it's a very very ****** tool. We do not want this. Stop ******* up my email account.

  7. Cannot access unread email easily

    If I was a computer genius, I could maybe figure this out, but most of us are not. All my incoming emails come into unread, not into the Inbox. In order to get to the Unread section, you have to make two keystrokes to get to it. The Unread section is the most important section in the email.

  9. Group mail by sender feature

    How about an option to group mails by sender in the inbox just like regular messages. It's neater, easier to find older mails.

  13. general feedback on the new design - needs work!

    Some general feedback which I hope you will consider from a 30yr Yahoo Mail user!

    • overall this is the best new iteration in over a decade; HOWEVER 1) the 'send' button is poorly positioned. there should be a 'send' button at the very TOP, in addition to the bottom of an email. Reason being...if it's a long email (or an old one with lots of back/forth) it takes a very long time to scroll to the bottom to send. Poor design, which should never have slipped through QA! 2) there is NOT ENOUGH real estate for message preview! if placed…

  14. New 'move' function unusable (PC - web browser)

    In the new interface, the mouse wheel won't make the folder dropdown list scroll so I can't drag'n'drop the email I'm trying to move into the right folder. It's also awkward having to hold the mouse button down while trying to scroll with the mouse wheel. (Web browser: Brave. OS: Windows 11. Mouse: Razer Naga Trinity)

    We encourage you to read at the top of the Uservoice header (forum). There we provide What’s New, Coming Soon and some Tips. There we mention how to expand folders and keep them expanded. Definitely read those as we update them with useful information. Thanks!

  15. Sorting by subject

    I would really LOVE if I could sort my emails by subject. Most of my email's come from the same sender and I dearly need to be able to sort them by subject.

    Yes, you can sort by sender in this version as well. You will first need to disable Conversation view. We cannot sort by sender when Conversation view is enabled. Once you disabled it under your Settings, you will see a sorting option as Sort by Sender. Thanks!

  16. Contacts

    Why is there not a large and obvious Contacts button??? It's an EMAL app. How is it that something as basic as Contacts in a communication app is hard to find??

  17. add message count to Spam Folder

    In the left column, the "..." button to pull up the special folders, it would be nice to show the # of messages in the Spam folder.

  20. unread filter is now useless

    I'm now stuck in the new UI and the unread folder doesn't have the option to filter out the sent items. I need to find and remove some 50,000 old emails and now I can't reach them because of all the unsubscribe emails you sent on my behalf.
