## Key features

- **Primary inbox:** Puts the most important messages in a Primary tab so that newsletters and promotions stay out of the way.
- **AI summaries and AI compose:** Summarizes long emails into key points and action items, and helps write messages in a professional, casual or friendly tone.
- **Planner:** Turns emails into tasks and events. The mobile app gathers flights, reservations and bill due dates into one view, next to an existing Gmail calendar.
- **One-tap unsubscribe and delete by sender:** Lists mailing-list subscriptions in one place for opting out, and bulk-deletes every message from a chosen sender.
- **Other accounts in the same inbox:** Add Gmail, Outlook, AOL and other mailboxes and manage them from Yahoo Mail, including on the free plan.
- **Orders and package tracking:** The mobile app shows tracking numbers and delivery updates at the top of the inbox and groups receipts and orders for later lookup.

## Good for

- People who want a free address with 20 GB of storage
- Clearing out newsletters and bulk mail quickly
- Managing Gmail, Outlook and AOL accounts from one inbox

## Worth knowing

- The free plan shows ads. Removing them needs Yahoo Mail Plus at $5 per month.
- Auto-forwarding to another account is a Plus feature, and free accounts are limited to 3 temporary addresses.
- Only Plus states that the account will not expire, or its mail be deleted, after long periods of inactivity.
- The US App Store listing shows other in-app purchases with no billing period, such as a 100GB plan at $1.99 and a 1TB plan at $9.99, which the Plus page does not describe.

## What people say

- **App Store rating of the iPhone and iPad app:** 4.7 out of 5 from 4,822,292 ratings in the United States, read Oct 7, 2026. This is the store's rating of the app, not a score from ToolGPA. Source: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id577586159

Often praised:

- Praise is for tools that help with a large, old mailbox: reviewers mention quick search and views that pick out attachments, and a commenter the option to delete and block everything from one sender. (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id577586159, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45027984)

Often criticised:

- Reviewers and commenters report finding years of old mail gone after a long spell of not signing in or not opening a folder. (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id577586159, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48659721, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46374443)
- Reviewers and a commenter object to features they say nobody asked for, such as summaries placed above each message and streaks for checking mail, and to an interface that keeps changing. (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id577586159, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46061245)

Based on 8 App Store reviews about Yahoo Mail, six of them three stars or lower and three more than three years old, and about 14 Hacker News comments from June 2025 to July 2026. These are themes summarised from public reviews and discussions, not ToolGPA's own verdict.
