New Yahoo Mail


Welcome to the new Yahoo Mail Desktop experience! This is a place for you to help shape the redesign. We review the most popular, feasible ideas from this forum to make positive changes to your Yahoo Mail.


COME HERE FOR THE LATEST UPDATES.

*Those asking about going back to the old version. Unfortunately, if you do not see the "Go Back" button you cannot go back. We really hope you'll try the new experience! Thanks!



TIPS:
Disable Inbox Categories (All, Primary, etc) - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Inbox Categories.
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.
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.
Sort By Sender - This is still a sorting option, but you must disable Conversation view under your Settings. Then you will see "Sender name"
Disable AI Summaries - Go to Settings > AI features > Toggle Off



COMING SOON!
Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon!




**Please do NOT post about Account, Password, Login issues here. It will be deleted. Please go to help.yahoo.com.

  4. Account verification codes for Publix Pharmacy.

    I am not receiving Publix Pharmacy emails that include an account verification code. I cannot get into my online pharmacy account with accessing that email but those emails are being blocked from being received into my account. Until you allow these emails to go through, I cannot access my account.

  6. Complaint about Yahoo Mail app search function

    Hello, the search function in Yahoo Mail app is terrible. If I search for a term such as "Amazon receipt", the search function instead pulls up ALL "Amazon" emails and all "receipt emails". So instead of finding Amazon receipts, I instead get piled with all Amazon emails such as ads and all receipts from non-Amazon senders.

    This is really annoying and I'm seriously considering deleting the Yahoo Mail app. The computer website does not have this issue tho.

  8. Bring back sort by sender filter

    You have crippled the search and sorting capability in the new interface. Quite honestly, I am no thrilled by the new browser look and feel. The classic look and capabilities was far superior. I wish you would give us the option to switch back to classic.

  9. Include the option to search in only the INBOX

    While in the INBOX, using the SEARCH YOUR EMAIL option, add an OPTION for a SEARCH CRITERIA to limit a search to only the INBOX. Retain the current global search while in the INBOX. This was available in previous versions of Yahoo Mail.

  11. Keyword Search sorted by a folder is no longer available?

    With this new version, it doesn't appear that the option to do an advanced Keyword Search sorted by a folder (Inbox, etc) is available. I use this function weekly, if not more often.
    Since this new version was implemented, I have missed 2 bill payments and 2 other important messages because the user interface is not optimal. Very disappointing.

  14. please allow SPAM settings to hold mail longer

    When I am traveling I do not always have regular access to my email. I frequently find email that is NOT SPAM in my SPAM mailbox. I want to be able to rescue those emails, not have them automatically deleted. Most of the time 30 days is long enough, but NOT ALWAYS. Please let me designate a longer time period - not indefinitely, but at least long enough to take at LONG vacation away from WIFi and cell phones.

  15. Email advanced search

    Hello, generally the new email client is fine, thank you. However, I need one modest but significant feature please. In email advanced search, I (and I assume others) need to filter by only the Inbox, so the results do not contain messages in other folders. Filtering by a folder is possible, but I don't see a way to filter by just messages in the Inbox. Thank you!

  16. Additional feature to Search your mail

    The current Search your mail feature performs a comprehensive search across all folders, including subfolders. It would be beneficial to have an Inbox‑only option that allows users to exclude subfolder results and limit the search to the main Inbox.

  20. Potential Searching Issue

    I was looking for an email by searching for the Subject's name. The email contained a subject that container "Flow". I searched for "Flow" and "flow" but it did not show. I had to instead guess the content of the body in order to find the email.
