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!


WHAT'S NEW:
Calendar - We moved it from under "More" on the right hand side to it's own icon. Still on the right hand side, but it's now the first icon next to Starred and Contacts.

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.




Thank you! 💜

  1. Search by Subject & Folder

    I use Mail search almost everyday and the old Yahoo mail let me search by subject and folder. folder search is now gone in the new version. How do I switch back or get this daily used feature back ASAP?

  3. Search tabs results

    I am so, so upset that you have changed the layout of search results. I have always praised to everyone how great your search option was and now it just sucks. You have become like everyone else. You used to search for an email, then get 3 simple columns. Under email, you could use the drop menu to choose to or from or all. The next tab over is where you could easily see all of the attachments sent to my clients or from my clients and you could easily see all of the photos back and forth all in…

  4. I would appreciate a Search button or bar at the top of the Folders to let me enter the name of a folder I know, but can't find

    I would appreciate a Search button or bar at the top of the Folders to let me enter the name of a folder I know, but can't find. -Or to be able to confirm another folder by the same name doesn't exist in a different location.

  5. persistent sorting

    In the spam folder, allow sort preference to persist. It defaults to newest when sorting by sender is much more useful. I shouldn't have to re-select how to sort each time I check my spam folder.

  6. Please allow search within a specified folder

    No matter what tips I try and follow, nothing allows me to search within a specific folder. I cannot search just my inbox, or just search within another folder. Please give us back this option. It is not an option under advanced menu.

  8. I'd like to be able to arrange my Home view (main Inbox, etc) how I'd like; I thought paying for a Yahoo Mail+ account would give me more.

    I still want to have the ability to remove the "notes" thing that's now in my Home view - no use for it.
    I'd like to have the emails grouped by day still - that is very useful to me, and the fact that it's gone without asking me is annoying at the minimum.
    You only give three possible ways to arrange the home area, and none of them is to my liking. Please put it back or let me arrange it how I like.

  9. Search Items lost the ability to select search in a specific Folder

    Your new, improved e-mail sucks. Give us the opportunity to go back to the previous version. I did not opt to use the new version; you have forced it on me. Newer is NOT ALWAYS BETTER.

    Put select a folder back in search!

  10. bring back the block feature under the spam folder

    You are degrading my ability to block spam emails from senders. There is no reason for this other than the senders of spam are paying you to not allow us to block them. Give us back this BLOCK feature.

  13. collapse and expand gone

    I love the collapse and expand feature to search for particular email among a sequence of emails. Now it is gone. How can I go back to the original email?

  14. Please make it easier to differentiate unread versus read emails in the inbox

    Your new layout makes it almost impossible to tell unread from read emails in the inbox. Please make it easier to differentiate them.

  15. Put back a way to see the breakdown of inbox emails for each day like you had before.

    Now that you've made your changes (whether I wanted them or not or like them or not), you've made it harder to see the breakdown of emails for a day-by-day set - it was much easier for me to see what was sent and not sorted on previous days, and now it all just blurs together into one big jumble, making it much harder to recognize what was received in my inbox and when. Please put that back in or at least make it an option for sorting the inbox.

  16. Get rid of it!

    How long must I wait to have Yahoo revert my mail to the Classic Mail style/layout? I am one of many thousands waiting for the new look mail to be ditched. Get rid of it ASAP please.

  17. Search By Subject Line

    The search by subject line does not always work correctly. If I click to search on the last email for a particular subject line, the search brings up all the prior emails but does not include the last email that I clicked on to initiate the search.

  19. fix the spam folder

    Please back the ability to bulk block senders directly from spam folder. Being able to mark multiple emails as not spam would be nice, too, but being forced to individually enter each spam account I want blocked makes this the worst "upgrade" yet. Seriously considering abandoning my 30+ year old account over this issue.
