Ad-free

Your inbox, without the ads

Yahoo Mail shows ads inside your message list, beside it and in pop-ups. RetroInbox hides all three, so you only see your own email.

No sponsored messagesThe ad rows that look like emails are removed from the list. Your messages move up into their place.
No ad banners on the sideThe column of ads next to your mail is gone, and the message list gets that space.
No promotional pop-upsPop-ups that advertise upgrades, apps or notifications are closed with their own "Not now" button. Nothing is accepted for you.
