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.

Bulk Delete - Click on a checkbox from your Inbox and a new checkbox will appear at the top. From there you can Select All and Delete All.

  3. leave it alone

    Here's an amazing idea: Leave it alone. The last time you added the unwanted AI ****, useless bubbles, and pastel colors, I suspect the majority of your customers absolutely hated it (thank you at least for putting it back).

  7. Left Navigation Pane Bottom Items Collapsed

    On the left Pane where you choose which email folders to view (like: Inbox, Sent, Custom Folders, etc.), if I scroll to the very bottom there is a dot-dot-dot that I have to expand to see things like Trash folder, Settings, etc. Anyway, <b>if this is the extreme bottom of the Navigation pane</b>, and nothing else in the pane is collapsed except nested custom folders... <b>why does the bottom-most item need to be collapsed?</b> Even worse it's collapsed and I have no idea what in there (no descriptor) so I have to hit the dot-dot-dot every time just to find…

  8. Notification prompting

    (Please add another category of feedback)
    Please stop prompting users to turn on notifications!
    I get a LOT of emails on my Yahoo mail accounts and do NOT want have a notification pop up each time a message comes in.
    Yahoo prompts me multiple times per day to turn on notification and the answer is NO!

    I want to be able to work in peace.

  11. Search in specific folder

    I would like to search my Inbox for emails from a sender. The advanced search option does not offer the option, instead searches all folders. I'm not saving much time this way, I still need to look through the list to see which folders the emails are in. (I'm using this to bulk filter emails so I can send store them in the appropriate folder. I've been away from emails for a few days, and this would be the quickest way to organize the incoming emails.)

  12. Grey Highlighting for Read Emails

    The new design that highlights read (opened) emails with a grey background makes the inbox harder to scan.

    The previous layout, with all emails on a white background and using Bold text for Unread emails and Regular text for Opened emails, was much easier to navigate.

    Please go back to that cleaner and more readable format. It made managing emails much more efficient. This is a big one for me and would be a deal breaker.

    Thank you.

  14. Easy throw it out and go back to old!

    Why change something that isn't broken why would I change to the new one when you have already removed all the function I use in the old one. The old way to differentiate between read mail and new mail was just fine how are you gonna change that, some a ridiculous way that makes everything harder to read? Every time you make a change you make it less functional and harder to use whether you think you're making it easier you are not.

  15. UNREAD items category

    While not always accurate, I preferred the "unread" mailbox as my first mailbox in the old system.

  16. Search Inbox - specifically - for a message

    Please add the option to search by mailbox and folder, like we could on the old versions of Yahoo Mail. The Advanced Search does not provide this option. I am looking for mail in my Inbox... this has been particularly difficult to manage.

  18. Multiple Suggestions

    Amount of space above white box that contains actual emails eats up too much space. It looks nice but Yahoo Mail | Search Mail etc eats up too much space. I have a 17" screen and I want to scream!

    Action Icon Tool bar is too large for the size of the icons and eats up way more space. May look nice but shrink it and put a border around it. Yes, I see it is the same size as the ad space above emails. Shrink that too. Sorry, but keeping me is way more important than the size of…

  19. colors and themes

    Bring back the old and some more new colors and themes for more personalization. Start with those available with the old Yahoo email and those in AOL email also. Personalization is important.
