  1. viewing mail

    I need a setting to switch to ALL mail for the default view. It is set to priority as the default, and I see no option to change this. Today I missed NEW emails in the ALL category, because this defaulted to priority without my knowledge.

    Also, we need a way to determine what emails are priority to us or not, so that this priority view is actually useful.
    Currently, I have no use for priority the mail category, since I cannot choose what emails are actually a priority to me. We need better explanation of how this category works.…

  2. Up/Down arrows stop working on message view page

    You finally fixed the issue with arrows navigation - up and down arrows now scroll the message as it does everywhere else on the web. But there's still something wrong - frequently, after some time the arrows stop working (on Google Chrome / MacOS). I'm not sure if some JS code is overriding the arrow controls, but when first viewing a message, the up and down arrows scroll, but after some time on the page, it becomes unresponsive. If I switch messages and come back (e.g. by using the left/right arrows), they become responsive again. But it's super annoying that…

  3. drop priority

    I don't like the "PRIORITY" tab. It does not allow access to some emails. Need to default to "ALL" instead. Thanks.

  5. More efficient reading ability with new email system and ability to block email addresses

    I am finding the new email setup for Yahoo Mail almost unusable on my laptop. I get 75 or more emails a day, and the new system is very inefficient for checking emails in a timely manner. Please help! I would also like to see a feature added back that was removed some time ago. I would like to be able to block email accounts from appearing in any of my feeds, rather than just going to Spam or trash.

  6. Mass Delete

    It should not be a HIDDEN option. It should be a easy key to find. I need to remove dozens of emails daily. Playing hunt to find what should be an easy key to hit is foolish. I read the directions for "finding the HIDDEN option - BUT I still cannot find it. It should not be this much work to clear my inbox

  7. Make "All" the default view instead of "Priority"

    The default view of "Priority" is completely useless and unhelpful to me. It often has false positives and false negatives. I just want to always see "All" and want to make that the default.

    Also, I never read the AI summary and immediately skip over that. It is useless waste of time and space and unnecessarily gets between me and the message.

  9. removing list of folders was stupid - bring back folder visibility

    What is the point of being able to drag and drop into folders if you can't see all your folders in the "New" Yahoo? Give the ability to see the list of folders without having to switch to "Old" Yahoo.

  10. Viewing QR codes inside email

    Try not to block downloading and showing photos and QR codes inside emails. Some of them are useful! Or, leave it to the user to enable showing them when opening an email, like Outlook does.
    I have tried all the settings in your system, but could not make it work.
    I might remove this account from here and stick to the Gmail one. At least that one never disappointed me!

  11. Scrolling with Up/Down arrows and Page up/down keys

    My Up/Down arrow and Page Up/Down sometime scroll, but not always. What do I have to do to always have those functions operate? It would sure make reading my emails on Yahoo a whole lot easier, instead of frustrating.

    Thank you very much!

  12. deleting more than one spam/trash at a time when box to check all is just gone to never never land

    Why do you have to delete spam and trash one at a time. The box at the top of the file to check all and then delete just falls off the face of the earth and is just GONE. I'm thinking I just need to go with gmail even though I have stuck with yahoo since the beginning of time.

  14. Make the up/down arrow ACTUALLY scroll up and down!

    Sadly, the up/down arrow does NOT scroll up and down now. Scrolling in a message remains impossible, and unless this is fixed the new Yahoo Mail will remain unusable.

  16. What Options I can or cannot change and where to go to make changes is the problem.

    I wish that I could customize yahoo mail in an easier way. The options are scattered on so many pages. Its too hard to find out what I cannot change or disable.

  17. Messages

    When I read a message from my Inbox, then X out of it, where does it go?
    I'd like to finish messages later but they disappear.
    Why doesn't the message stay in my Inbox as with Classic Email?

  19. settings

    STOP changing my preferences. I look at my email and do not see my emails. I have to keep changing preferences to ALL so I can see what I want. Yahoo does not know what priority is. YAHOO inserted ads are not a priority those should go to spam folder.

    When I change my settings to see emails only from a sender, newest first or anything else I have to keep changing my settings. Please let me choose what settings I want and keep it that way.

  20. My question and problem are not in your files.

    Why do some new messages show up in the IN file and others, often from the same person, show up in the UNREAD file? What determines that splitup?

    Interestingly, if one reads a message in the UNREAD file and leaves that file for a moment, and then comes back, the message will be gone, obviously, because it has now been read. However, one cannot find that original message anywhere else: not in the spam folder and not even in the trash. It has been vaporized!!
