Reviews for Yahoo Mail

There's nothing about this app that's easy to use. The only way to attach a file to an email is to find the file on your phone, hit the share button, then choose the yahoo app. You can try to search for the file by hitting attach in the email, but you have an extremely small chance of that actually working. If it weren't for the fact that some things will NOT let me change my email, I'd be rid of yahoo all together.

why! why (fix) something that doesn't need fixing? first, it looks horrible now. it's so bold and crunched together. second, this makes it hard for me to use, which is taking away the option to highlight days, week, month, or older emails. sometimes, it's easier to highlight everything and unmark a few than having to touch every email to delete what I need to. fix this and give back the features you took, or I'll just go back to the basic email app my phone comes with.

Everytime and update comes out the app stops working. I can no longer sent emails at all. It just loads over an over and nothing happens. I have tried everything to fix it and its not working. its unusable. Edit: As stated i attempted to troubleshoot myself. I have the latest app that was the first thing I checked. No updates are available.

Doesn't show all emails. sorting options are bad. Slows way down with any volume at all. Desktop at least shows all emails. Update May 2025: recent update makes it harder/slower to swipe to delete. Still doesn't show all emails in Inbox or using the Unread option. Also a new wrinkle is that the Move option no longer shows up on all emails. I have to leave them in the Inbox and go to the desktop to move them to another folder. Extremely frustrating!

Recently went from seriously bad to much, much worse. This is NOT a 4.5/5 app! Infuriating it's been years and you can't seem to fix major issues. After the most recent UI updates (I was able to turn off some of the most annoying features) I open and am in the middle of reading the content of an email and all of a sudden another email will open in it's place. Still looking for a better alternative while still keeping my yahoo email.

I wish the Google calendar feature was included, to add tasks/events easier. UPDATE: I do not care for the new alterations. I dislike having to download an attachment every time to view it. No preview option? I dislike how I don't get the notifications I have enabled when emails are received. If I revise a draft it isn't always saved when there's a notation confirmation. Folder labels should be longer and refreshing should be frequent or have an icon, condense side settings for convenience. -1⭐

Some of these new features actually make it harder not easier to go through my emails. At first I liked it but quickly found it frustrating when emails are automatically placed in newsletters, Primary, offers, other. For some this may be ideal especially if they deal with a lot of emails or find it frustrating. Maybe I will get used to it in time.

Hate the latest updates. When I open the app, I want to see ALL of my emails, not the ones Yahoo deems "Primary." It's also annoying to have to hold down an email and then select the "select" option. Why add an extra step there? Also, the latest update makes it difficult to delete emails. I can no longer use the swipe function - it simply doesn't work. Feels like this app is going backwards in development. It's just getting more difficult to use with extra steps everywhere.

I've never had issues with Yahoo Mail for as many years as I've had it. that said, I absolutely hate their new update for the mobile app. I have Samsung, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with anything, but heads up. I don't know why they created separate sections for you to see your emails. there's now all, primary, offers, and other. it directs you to see primary opening the app. I don't like this at all. I want to see all my emails since I get offers frequently from stores I sub to.

There are emails that do not populate in the apps inbox or they are not viewable. I thought it was because of some settings, but there are no settings to adjust. If I log in on my computer or Chrome on my phone it is not an issue. Also, there's constant resorting of emails. I don't mind the ads, but it is difficult to respond to emails when I can't even see them. (05/22/25) after the update, this app is worse. It is so glitchy and slow. It was actually working well before.

2025: It's gotten worse!! Swiping left to delete and right to mark read/unread doesn't work the first time, you have to repeat the actions 10x. Still can't find email when searching, email box doesn't load if you have too many emails unread so you can't see last week's emails, just skips over them. Can't add a new folder from the app. This product needs a major overhaul. It's antiquated and slow.

Dislike the latest update. While I don’t mind having my emails sorted into categories, it’s frustrating that when this feature is enabled, the app always opens to the "Primary" tab by default. I want to open directly to all my emails, not just a filtered view. I’ve disabled the categories. The AI summary of emails is unnecessary - so disabled. The catch-up tool just gets in the way as well as the catch-up notification, so I turned off both. I simply just want to check my email.

It has been really buggy lately. Read messages would stay unread, and when I choose an inbox category, it would just keep taking me back to 'Primary'. Deleting a list of messages has also been frustrating. When selecting emails to delete, it would uncheck some of them. With that being said, I don't use it the app much anymore. Web version is still what I prefer over Gmail, however.

Im not sure why the spam, sent, and other boxes are missing from the mobile app. This is horrible. I'm not always near my computer to check those, and the app was convenient until a month ago. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app on all my devices still missing. Please fix this immediately. I've had Yahoo Mail for 20+ years, never an issue until now. This is frustrating. Will change the rating when this is resolved.

Horrible change to the UI. Can't tell which emails are read versus unread. It keeps defaulting to priority instead of all. I missed some really important emails thanks to this. Also, my email addresses are separate for a reason. Stop pestering me to view them all in the same inbox. Wish I could roll back to the old version like I can on desktop and will be switching to a different email app over it. It's totally unusable now.

I don't know what these latest updates did but it's made everything worse! Email shows it deleted but it's still there. App doesn't sync well with desktop. Update 8/8/25: Now what is really annoying is sometimes you open an email and there is a "move" button on the bottom for you to move the email to another folder, and sometimes the button isn't there at all and you have to back out to the Inbox to mark the item & move it. This is ridiculous.

I hate Hate HATE that I can't always move an email while I'm reading it. it seems like it is an available option 100% of the time if there is an attachment, but super glitchy if there is not one. Sometimes I can, sometimes I have to back out, select the message, them move a single message as a "batch" into the folder. This has been broken since March 2025 (currently 07/2025). Please fix! Some of us actually already have filling systems that your dumb categories are no match for!

This app is still absolutely. There are still extra steps to sort emails into folders (when I long press, and also when I'm in a specific email). Half of the time, when the menu comes up, it doesn't allow me to scroll, so I have to close the menu and try again. I have used Yahoo for a very long time, but I am dangerously close to switching to something else. It seems like Yahoo is actively attempting to make things MORE difficult. Oh and the "sorting" feature is obnoxiously bad.

I have so many complaints for the app for Android. The email was sorted by day which I like but now it is not. There was a box you could click next to today, yesterday to select all emails for that day; that is gone. Each email is different when it comes to moving it into a folder. Some show that option when you're in it some you have to select the email. You used to be able to long-press the email to select it, now there is a menu. So annoying. The trash doesn't show all days of emails. Why?

Another terrible update: 1. The search feature is no longer working! This is a basic feature and it's not working. 2. Would like to PERMANENTLY disable the pop-up that asks me if I want to look at my most recent emails (catch up), every time when opening the app. Please give us a choice whether we want a pop-up blocking where our most recent emails are. It's an unnecessary extra step.
