  1. "Priority" tab shouldn't be the default tab!

    Users cannot define which emails belong in the "Priority" category—this classification is determined by the developer or AI, not by the user. As a result, the "Priority" tab lacks meaningful control or customization from the user's perspective.
    Additionally, after selecting the "All" tab and viewing an email, clicking the back arrow returns the user to the "Priority" tab instead of the previously selected "All" tab. This behavior is confusing and disrupts the user experience.
    Thanks.

  2. All or Priority as a Preference that can be set!

    It is cumbersome to have to keep clicking on "All" since the default filter is "Priority" for the inbox. Please provide a way to set a preference as to what if any filter is to be used when the inbox is viewed.

  4. Navigational issues with Yahoo! Mail

    I couldn't find a few things, such as the Sort By Unread. I also had difficulty navigating the left column as it kept compacting rather than staying open. I couldn't get the navigation on that column either so as to view icons that are above or below. I gave up and went back to classic mail.

  9. Keep the folder list open

    There is space on the left, why hide all the folders like spam, trash etc. behind the 3 dots?

  13. cursor jumps around in the mail messages

    when scrolling down my mail messages, the cursor will randomly skip 10 or 15 messages down rather than just the next message,

    Very annoying and a big waste of time just to read my mail messages.

  14. 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.…

  15. 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…

  16. drop priority

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

  18. 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.

  19. 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

  20. 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.
