WHAT'S NEW?
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.
Sender's Email Address - You don't have to open the message to see the sender's email address. Just hover over the sender's name from your Inbox. 



COMING SOON!

Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.

TIPS:
Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.
Keep Folders Expanded - First expand left hand column by hovering on Inbox edge until you see Double Arrows. Then a drop down will show up next to Folders. 
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.
Drag and drop messages to folders - Just click and hold on an email message, then drag and drop that message into a different folder.

  1. gray lines in inbox

    Please remove the gray lines on my emails in the inbox. I would prefer all my messages to be white instead of gray, wtih the ads being white. It makes me feel like all my emails are highlighted.

  3. folders

    on my pc when I logged in I always had all my folders down the left hand side. They have appeared to have gone and now I have to manually open each folder to put my emails into. When getting things like tax ready this is a real pain!! Please give me the option to put them all back there permanently!!
    Thanks

  4. use old themes

    i want the old themes back.it had more expression. the black(dark is to back with no contrast while is white is to bright with no contrast either. they both are to white and to dark. the lines to separate arent bold enough. i wish we had gotten notice that the change was happening. i feel like there needs to be a dark gray/black theme with a dark or lighter lines to divide thing ( for the dark them would be much easier on the eyes.. i really really miss more options id love to have even the option to change…

  7. Why are spam and trash folders now hidden.

    Why are spam and trash folders hidden. I guess you don't want us to access them and clean them up to free up space, so you can charge us more for storage? Please have the Spam and Trash folders show with the other main folders in main folder in dashboard.

  12. Add a feature to allow large number of sorted emails to be delete quickly

    Given Yahoo is asking people to reduce their storage space it would be great if I could select thousands of emails based on a set of requirements and click on delete... done! What I am seeing is that while I am able to sort emails based on criteria that produces a list of 15,000 + emails, I can only select 50 at a time to delete... at that rate it will take me forever to delete them all.... and worse I don't know if I have to take the extra step to then delete them again, 50 at a time,…

  13. Navigational issues with Yahoo! Mail

    I couldn't find a few things, such as the Sort By Unread. I also had difficulty navigating the left column as it kept compacting rather than staying open. I couldn't get the navigation on that column either so as to view icons that are above or below. I gave up and went back to classic mail.

  16. ai summary

    AI summary keeps switching itself back on when I've toggled it off multiple times and refreshed each time.
    This thing that you say at the top of this very page: "AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off"
    doesn't do anything

    I keep seeing the same pointless AI summary at the tope of each email.

  20. Be able to change density of subject line display

    Since you seem intent on copying Gmail, please include the other display features, like the ability to display things in a more compact view. I don't want or need icons for each sender, I just need to see their name and the subject line, and miss the density of the prior version of Yahoo Mail. I hate this new one. Hate it.
