Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
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.

  5. Auto Deletion of Trash

    It would be nice if you had periodic and automatic deletion of email in TRASH. Giving a few optional periods of retention of these emails would be optimal.

  10. PLEASE RESTORE THE TRASH EMPTYING 7-DAY SCHEDULE

    Despite their FAQ page info Yahoo Mail has NOT been emptying my Trash folder every 7 days. Evidently this is their way of forcing me into a $14/monthly paywalled plan by leaving almost 800,000 emails in my Trash folder without emptying them and claiming "Your mailbox storage is full" even though my inbox is currently EMPTY. How can I "manage storage" when Yahoo has apparently disabled the only effective tool to manage it? Hmmmm... could it be they're just after my money without providing any added value?

  14. Block senders

    In the new version of Yahoo! I don't see an option for selecting and blocking senders. If this is available, please make it more visible. Until then I'll be staying with the Standard version.

  16. delete

    I have long wished for a way to mass-delete email. For example, I would be able to delete everything older than a certain date, say Delete all messages dated prior to 01/01/2015.

  19. group deletion

    Why did you get rid of the ability to sort by date and then do mass deletions at once? going through each one is time consuming and an inconvenience?
