  2. inbox categories on/off switch on home page

    Hello
    I used to have the inbox categories and now they are missing. I cannot find the Personalize Inbox in settings to toggle the icon on to enable inbox categories. I suggest this option being moved to the home page to turn on/off.

  3. other category

    Why does the Android app have a Inbox category for 'Other' but the web version does not? On the web version I have to choose 'All' to see the same emails that show up in 'Other' in the app.

    Other would be most helpful.

  4. Blocking Spam, Junk, and Scammers!

    I block quite a few incoming mail (scammers, sales, junk), and after a while it felt like the ones I blocked are no longer blocked. An online Tech person stated that we should not delete Blocked/Spam so that y'all you see and record all the spam mail. Is this true? I would put so many in Spam folder, hold there a couple of days, and then delete. I keep getting spam in my incoming mail AND in the spam mail. It is never ending!! How do I stop the spam, scammers, and junk/sales mail?? Thanks!

  5. Snooze Feature

    I don't use Yahoo as much as I would like, as I really use the "Snooze" feature in other email providers A LOT! Any chance that Yahoo will implement a Snooze feature soon?

  6. buttons and spam can't be found unhandy

    With this new email, spam folder is not on the list shown, have to click folders. Checking spam should not require two clicks.
    Also, I have to scroll the page down to find the send button, this is not better from my first impression of it.

  8. Alias Removal

    A long time ago, we were able to add aliases to our accounts. I added muros@yahoo.com
    , and after some time, someone named Alvaro created that account somewhere and started using it. Now I keep receiving his messages, and to prove this is not just a coincidence, I was even able to change his Spotify, Netflix, and Mercado Livre passwords. Now he has enabled more authentication factors, and that is no longer possible.

    I have already reported this to Yahoo before, as I consider it a serious privacy issue, but I only received the simple response that this was not…

  9. Update

    I absolute hate the update to the Yahoo app on my android. I can't find out how to access my other email accounts which is hindering my ability to do my job! I have considered moving solely to Google and this is pushing my decision. I have never seen a user unfriendly update.

  11. An off switch in mail settings that stops scrolling into the next email

    I want an OFF switch for this new process that scrolls me to the next email if I scroll down too far or fast. Some of the newsletters I read have content I want to see near the bottom of the mail received, and I seem to be getting tossed to the next message before I can scroll down that far. Please make it stop or give me a control in mail settings that I can disable this unwanted and unnecessary feature.

  12. Improve inboxes

    This is the only topic related to my problem. The problem is that ALL of my emails are going to my TRASH folder. And my INBOX is now hidden unless I collapse the folders I created. Which doesn't matter anyway because none of my emails are going to the INBOX anymore. I have made several attempts for help. No one seems to know how to fix the filters so that my emails go back to going to the inbox. I am seriously thinking of leaving yahoo and ending my $1.99 a month subscription.

  13. checks in check boxes are removed when you reply to an email

    Whenever I put check marks in the check boxes next to my emails (listed in my inbox) all the check marks disappear when I reply to an email. Sometimes I'll spend 15+ minutes going through my email checking the box next to each email I want to delete... and then if I respond to an email and go back to the list all of the check marks are gone! Please don't do this. It's a hassle going through all my emails again. Is this a bug?

  14. Cannot receive emails from my Wife ?

    It would be nice if I received an email from my wife. Strangely, I cannot receive emails from my wife's Gmail account on my Yahoo account. I called support, but they say nothingis wrong with my account, but still I cannot receive email from my wife. Does Yahoo Mail not like my wife?

  15. turn off automatic continue to next message when scroll to bottom of current message

    There seems to be a new feature that automatically loads the next message when I scroll to the bottom of the current message. This is a very annoying feature, I can't actually get to the bottom of a long email to read it, it keeps jumping forward. How do I turn it off?
    Thanks

  16. Click here to jump to next email. Get rid of that!

    Please, please delete the new feature of Click here to jump to next email. I'm still trying to read a long email or hit the send button and this Click here stops me from doing what I want to do. Definitely not an improvement. I can't even get to an attachment before this stupid feature jumps in! Please get rid of this "improvement."

  17. Auto opening of messages

    Give us a way to OPT OUT of the automatic opening of next message while we're scrolling thru/reading a message. It's ridiculous!! And marks the message as "read" when we aren't ready to read it yet.

  19. Automatic Scrolling

    Hey team 👋 — I’ve noticed the new Yahoo Mail web feature where the next email auto-loads when I scroll near the bottom. It’s actually creating a UX issue for me: I can’t fully scroll through an email before it forces the next one to appear. Would love it if there were an option to disable this behavior. Thanks for considering! 🙏

  20. cursor keys

    Something I hate about the new email inbox is that it does not allow you to use the cursor keys to scroll through you emails. The only way to scroll is to use the wheel on the mouse which can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome because unfortunately I get a lot of emails. I have heard from users of other mail systems like Gmail blocking more spam messages, but that's another story. I would like for Yahoo to bring back the ability to scroll through your emails with the cursor keys.
