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.

  3. backspace deletes emails that are being replied to

    When I try to reply to an email and I hit the back space, at all, it deletes the entire email. I just hit the back space on a very important thread of emails and it permanently deleted the entire string of emails I have been trying to work out a return for an expensive product for. When an email is in my inbox, it will automatically send it to the trash folder and exit the email if I press the back space and it does this without warning. the reply function/forward seems very buggy and there was also an…

  4. Visibility of complete email address

    when selecting a recipient for the To field, auto fill are presented, but the shown information is the name of the contact and not the full email address. This could lead to errors in selection, with possible security pitfalls.
    It would be better to have both the name and the full email address.

  5. Mult colored themes and backgrounds

    I have read from millions of users, and nobody wants to have their UI be all white or all black. And neither do I. Keep the multi-color themes and background images. Also, you can implement the backgrounds that change during the time of day and night.

  6. Option to Hide Right‑Side Panel

    Hello Yahoo Mail team,
    I would like to request an option to hide or collapse the right‑hand panel that contains “Starred”, “Contacts”, and “More”. In the new interface this panel takes up valuable horizontal space and cannot be removed, which makes the layout feel cramped on many screens.

    Please consider adding a toggle to disable or collapse this panel, similar to how the left navigation panel can be collapsed. This would greatly improve usability and customization for many users.

    Thank you for considering this improvement.

  8. Allow sort to be saved, instead of having to choose every day

    if a person likes to look at their mail by oldest first. They shouldn't have to change sort by everyday. Their preference should be saved.

  9. In-app PDF preview

    In the old version it was possible to preview pdf attachments directly in the mail. I used that feature a lot. Now I have to download attachments to open them, I perceive it as a downgrade.

  10. togliere righe bianche e grigie

    non mi piace l'alternanza di righe grigie e righe bianche per indicare le mail di giorni diversi, non mi è di nessuna utilità distinguere le mail per giorno di ricevimento, e le righe grigie fanno sembrare quelle mail come "selezionate", crea confusione, le rivorrei tutte bianche

  11. Make the system messages smaller or move them to the bottom.

    It's nothing major, but it's kinda annoying. The system messages, such as "Message Deleted" or "Message Selected," take up a bit of space and obstruct the top view, especially on a smaller window. It's not a huge issue, but it's kinda annoying. Other than that i love the new look!

  14. Make email addresses visible when hovering over the name in the "TO" section

    The New Mail does not allow me to see the actual email addresses of people I'm writing to. Annoying, since some people have several and if I want to see an email address now I have to go to contacts.
