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. Move send button up to top

    The Send button is at the bottom of the mail when composing a mail. This is a pain as I need to scroll down the email when it is a long mail to send it. This should be higher on the screen and in view.

  4. 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.

  5. MAIL MESSAGES ARE DON'T TRANSITION TO "READ" UNTIL YOU MOVE TO NEXT

    I don't think this is intuitive, and I'm fairly sure the old mail wed app used to work differently. I'm hoping the behaviour can be restored, so that clicking on a mail message in a list of messages immediately transitions it to "Read" style (i.e. Bold -> Normal).

    With the behaviour as it is, if I'm working my way through messages to clear down all unread items, when I've read the message content, what feels most natural is to navigate to the next item down that has the Unread Style in the list (because I'm looking for the Unread style…

  6. WASTED SCREEN SPACE - Right hand contact panel and "Inbox" icon/button against every item in Mail List

    Both of these should be hideable. I get a fair amount of messages per day, so something that seems like a waste of space is very annoying. I want to be able to choose to hide the right hand contact/whatever pane as I don't think I'll ever use it.

    Also, I have no idea what those "Inbox" rounded buttons that precede every email item in my Unread messages mail list are for. They are also a wate of space in my opinion and I can't work out why I would I need them

  8. It's Hard to See Which "Unread" Items I have now Read - Needs to be Easier (Use Bold on an Icon)

  9. Leave the page design alone.

    Absolutely hate the new-look email page design. It seems to be utterly childish with large print and toddler-friendly icons and print and guides and changes. For goodness sake, give us the option to return to an adult page design, rather than this insulting baby-look Email for Dummies presentation. Please don't change things that aren't broken. Also what is the point in allowing us to choose our own personal themes for how we want to make our page comfortable and familiar for us individually, when you just make a sweeping change and delete the lot? Really angry about this. And I…

  10. "All" needs to be the default folder view of Yahoo Mail

    How can I make "All" my default box? Hate this new tool forced onto me ... just like I hated the new Yahoo.Finance forced onto me. For the life of me I cannot understand why Yahoo developers are forcing inferior products onto its consumer base. Just makes NO sense, at all. Unless, of course, the aim is to drive them off the platform.

  12. Worthless

    I cannot possibly delineate ALL of the flaws in both the mobile app and the desktop app. I cannot find ANYTHING. On the desktop APP, the search box blocks other icons within the app itself that I need. It's almost impossible for me to open a prior message because the search box is in the way. This is a complete failure of an app.

  17. Your recent update sucks.

    Hello, your recent update has managed to make using Yahoo Mail awful. Congradulations. Everything looks white, nothing stands out anymore. And you've made switching and viewing different email accounts more difficult. It was fine before and was very easy to view if i had emails in any accounts. You've decided to make this harder and hidden the other accounts. Everything looks like ****. Nice work.

  18. Grey read messages

    The read messages in grey are difficult to read. The style before with the bold letters was easy to see which message was read and which was not. I can't even see the starred ones which makes it difficult to find the important messages. Is it possible to change that?
