  1. The "Drafts" icon no longer shows the number of active drafts

    In the old version I was able to see how many drafts were currently in the Drafts folder.

    This is no longer possible for some reason

    Please fix.

  3. stop the AI

    Ever since you have gone to the AI summary of an email, which is unnecessary for me, the entire management of the inbox has slowed down significantly. It is very frustrating to bulk select and delete emails anymore. I don't know what happened, but I think it started around the time that you introduced the AI summaries. Please go back to the easy old way to use Yahoo. I have had an email account with you for more than a decade. Your platform was the best until the last few months.

  4. Make Archive the actual Archive, get rid of Priority

    1. Archive box is supposed to store SELECTED e-mails. Now it is random e-mails. Not sure what it is actually. I lost my storred archives. Do you even know what "Archive" means? Google it.
    2. The Priority inbox is confusing. Who are you to tell me what is priority for ME!? Just have one INBOX.

  6. Stop trying to sort the emails

    I am so tired of the new Yahoo mail. The system has this idea it knows what how to sort my mail. It automatically puts me in "Primary" when I'm looking at emails. I have all these emails to look at, and the system is only shows me a tiny few, I want to see all the emails because I know what is important and what is not. Stop making Primary a default place to start looking at mail. You need to put an option where you choose the default on how your mail is sorted. Even when I'm away…

    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 disable Inbox Categories: All, Priority, etc. Definitely read those as we update them with useful information. Thanks.

  8. "All" should be set by default and Stay

    I would like my view to be set by default to "All" and stay that way until I change. It seems that if I view my inbox with "All" and perform a certain function my view loses the "All" setting and I must select it again.

  9. Please make the new tab / window when dragging an email optional!

    When trying to store emails in folders, it is very hard now to navigate. Another tab / window will try an open up before you can even zero in on the folder you want to put your email into. It is a constant fight. Please make this optional in the settings so it can be turned off. It is a chore to work with this browser based email now! Please change this. Thank you.

  10. How do I get my folders to show on the left hand side. There's just an icon that says folders. I need them to appear as a list below that.

  11. folders open in view

    My folders used to be in view so I could view them and move mails easily. Now I need to click into folders to then select the folder to use. This additional click was not there before.

  12. Expand Folder list

    The latest version of Yahoo mail doesn't automatically expand and show the full list of my folder names. I would like this listed and not have to open a popup window and scroll down through all my folder names.

  13. Scrolling in emails

    When viewing email (on my Chromebook plus) by double-clicking it, I can't use my arrow keys to move up and down through the email. Space bar won't scroll by full page, either. These are standard web page navigation techniques. Please fix soon!

  15. Split Windows when mouse drag over

    Please! Please! Remove this feature! Let it be a setting, rather than built in! Every single time I try and drop a email into a folder it tries to do a split view! It makes you dizzy! It makes it so you can't put your emails away with triggering that split view! If people want to have this, have a setting they can choose, but not as a default or automatic without being able to turn it off!!!! Please! Please! Turn this off!!!!

    Hi there, this is not a new feature from us, Yahoo. This is actually a new feature from Google Chrome. You can certainly disable this or turn this off under your Chrome settings. Thanks!

  16. Provide a setting to default to "All" or "Primary" for your inbox

    Typically, I want to see ALL my emails, not just what's "primary". Provide a setting so users can choose what they want their default to be. Or simply have it persist to continue using the one that was last selected.

  17. spam emails

    The spam emails have no way of clicking on them to select a folder in which to place them in and no unsubscribe options on their landing page. I don't want to be swamped with garbage. Please help us in being able to funnel this off our Inbox... Thanks!

  18. Blocked Email Addresses and Spam Filters

    Can we please have more than 1000 email addresses blocked. It's so easy for scammers to set up a new email address that this limit is too low.

    The filters are **** and do not work. Please provide a better, detailed description on how to set them up. For example I want to filter out all emails that have sewellenn.net in the email address. I have this at the top of my filters but it just doesn't work.

    The best way to get rid of spam is to mark as spam, not delete or block! This helps with your spam filters and does exactly what blocking does, prevents that email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam! It is free and part of regular Yahoo Mail. Thanks!

  19. Challenge Completed

    Please remove Challenge Completed, on my screen it hides the scroll bar. Or move it somewhere else.
