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.

  1. Switching between email accounts is harder compared to what it was before.

    Switching between email accounts is harder compared to what it was before. Old version had all linked emails in the left side navigation menu.

  2. view all mail accounts on the same screen

    The old page allowed me to see if I had new messages on my multiple email addresses. I really would like to be able to see that on the new system.

  3. inbox

    Not sure this if this falls under navigation but under the sort feature for my inbox I do not like that if I select unread all my other emails are now gone. Prior to the update the unread inbox sort feature showed unread emails at the top of of my inbox and the read emails still appeared but below the unread emails. I much prefer the latter and would appreciate either changing back or at least have a sort option that performs the same function. If I'm missing something and there is a workaround that exists I would like to…

  4. Move e-mails to folder

    I'd like a display of folders next to the inbox where items can be dragged, as in the old version.

    You really should allow users to go back to the old version/interface of Yahoo. I doubt anyone will see this, but I want to say, I hate the new Yahoo interface more every day. I've wasted a lot of time trying to find features I use regularly that were previously very accessible. Not a fan of the new version at all, and it's also buggy--usually I can't even access the Send button on messages unless I "pop out" first, and…

  5. Can you create an option to "Pin" the folders icon to stay open to make administration of folders and emails easier?

    The current function of the folders icon makes it cumbersome to perform administrative tasks like deleting emails & folders. It closes every time an action is completed. Instead of remaining open to continue the same task with multiple folders.

  6. sort by subject

    Please bring back sorting by subject - I get hundreds of emails from the same sender with hundreds of different subjects. I want to sort them by subject so I can delete the ones that are repetitive and keep only the earliest version. Removing the sort by subject function has me falling unmanageably behind with thousands of emails piling up!

  8. Original Subject Line

    I really need to get my original email subject lines back. The AI version is not working for me. It has been causing me an inordinate amount of frustration and I will have to switch to a different provider if this cannot be changed. The subject lines are too wordy and often misrepresent the actual subject.

  10. Where is the Spam folder?

    The Spam folder does not show up on the New Yahoo mail and there is no mention as to if it has bee removed or what is happening with the Spam emails. How do you find the Spam folder? I tried the contact us option but it won't bring up all of the options to fill out the form. It won't let me pick a topic, in fact there are no topics listed.

    I want to see my folders without having to click on 'Expand' each time I open Yahoo mail.
    I have rules sending incoming mails to specific folders and now I have to click on 'expand' every time to check if I have new e-mails in my folders.

  17. cannot move emails to folders very easily

    If you have a lot of folders, like I do, the new version of Yahoo Mail makes it impossible to move emails to folders. There is no way to simultaneously drag the emails and scroll down the folder list to the email folder you want.

  18. Expanded Folders

    Under What's new, I see you have "Expanded Folders - Now you can keep them collapse/uncollapse if you want your Left Rail less cluttered". However, I am not sure it is working as expected.

    I still have to click on folders to open the small window. It goes away if I click somewhere else. I think a couple of weeks ago, the folders list did stay open in the left Rail. It doesn't do that now.

    Can you please check this one ?

    I also tried incognito mode in case it was a caching issue.

  19. There is no gear icon, or any other way to exit Settings in the new Yahoo! User Experience. Also, I was required to sign in again in order

    There is no gear icon, or any other way to exit Settings in the new Yahoo! User Experience.

    Also, I was repeatedly asked to sign in again in order to post this bit of feedback. Do you perform any QA before releasing these changes?

  20. top bar move folder is in different places

    The icon for moving selected emails is in a different location depending on if you have an email checked or if you're reading the email. This is confusing. I've marked messages as unread instead of moving them several times now. It disrupts the work flow. The top bar should be the same wherever you use it. Secondly, it should just be constant and not disappear unless something is selected. That's very confusing also. A consistent menu, please.
