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.

Unfortunately, you cannot revert back. We are only making the new one better. We know change is frustrating and hard but we really hope you'll give the new layout a fair chance.



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.

Photos View - We added it to the sorting drop down in the top, right hand side of your Inbox. Click on that icon, and you'll see "More Filters" at the bottom, from there you can filter by Attachments and Photos in emails.

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
Unread Count - You can hover over "Inbox" to see the Unread count or you can expand the left hand column and Unread will be in the column below Inbox with the unread count. No hovering.



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

Unsubscribe Button in Subject Line - We are moving it out of the way!



**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?

  2. Search in specific folder

  3. Search function has no keyword search

    I can't believe there is no longer a keyword search for the email search function. That's a 2nd strike. You also removed the ability to search through a specific folder. How can removing functionality be considered an improvement in the email program? I'm thinking of moving to gmail more often now.

    Folders - Most of the folders are not visible and can only be found during a "search" if the name of the folder can be remembered.

  7. Bring back easy sorting! Now Gmail is BETTER than Yahoo!

    Sorting by Sender IS NOT a sorting option! That is VASTLY incorrect. (I wanted to say a LIE.)

    My "Conversation View" (you mean "Group By Conversation"?) is NEVER on. NEVER has or will be.
    I have searched EVERY OPTION in settings, and there is NO WAY to filter by sender or subject anymore.
    N O W H E R E. A T A L L.
    LIARS.
    You've just made my life that much more time consuming and difficult. You have no idea how infuriated I am at you dumbing down your email platform.

    Some evil person sold you a bill…

  8. Bring Back the Magnifying Glass Tool in the SUBJECT LINE

    PLEASE bring back the magnifying tool to the subject line section on the inbox. I like that you kept it in the Sender section. Thank you. I need the subject line magnifying glass to find email chains quickly. I do not like conversation view so this tool is essential to me. I use it all the time. Please bring it back. It takes a lot more time to copy the subject line and paste into the search window. It used to just be a button.

  9. Have a sort feature

    Sure would be nice to sort on a specific sender and delete all those messages at once if not wanted. Or, sort on a preferred sender, to view history.

  10. Reinstate bulk find feature

    In previous yahoo, I could click on the little star next to sender and yahoo would give me a list of the emails from that sender. Then, I could choose which to delete and which to delete. Now, yahoo only gives me a bulk delete option of all the email from the chosen sender. Please reinstate the previous bulk find feature giving us the choice of which emails to delete. Thank you.

  11. Allow the ability to restrict searching to a particular folder.

    In the old Yahoo mail, one was able to specify a particular folder to search in, including the Inbox. That search option is no longer available. I have been told by customer support that it is possible, but not for the Inbox. I would like to see that option added back in instead of having to take a step backward in functionality.

  12. by default keep disposable emails sorted by their address A-Z

    What have your web developers done with the Disposable email address view? by default keep them sorted by email address A-Z I'm trying to do some massive cleanup of my inbox and emails I am trying to find and search is returning really bad results not applicable to my search criteria I just reported separately, paddler4x-shop returning results unrelated to this specific criteria, and finding and either editing or deleting specific disposables, if they were sorted by at least email address, I would find what I am looking for very quickly, when they are not sorted, forget about it!

  13. ADD AN AI CHAT!

    You need a better COMMUNCATION platform (AI CHAT?) for us to be able to ask questions beyond your brief Whats New list. Maybe you don't want to admit how little you have invested in Yahoo Mail?

  14. Suggestion for search function in browser based new email

    In the new email, the search function lacks the ability to search within a specific folder. For those of us who routinely sort our emails into a myriad of folders (both manually and by filters) and basically use the folders as a filing cabinet for old information, this is a lacking. Hope you will return this ability, which the old email had. Thank you.

  15. Restore and maintain the sophistication of the search feature by enabling searches with greater combinations of search criteria

    With previous versions of Yahoo Mail, it was possible to search for messages with a combination of more criteria than it is with the new version.

    For example, one could search the inbox and all folders or just the messages in one particular folder for messages which contain the name "Philadelphia" AND which have a subject that contains the name "Pennsylvania" AND which were sent in the year 2025 AND which have an attachment.

    I suggest that every new version of Yahoo Mail have a search feature which can do this: which is to say, that every new version have…

  16. Return the ability to preview photos by hovering over emails

    I used to be able to hover over emails and see a popup preview of the photos attached to the email. Now it pops up controls to delete, move, .... The ability to quickly scan the photos in emails is very useful for my business. I've relied on it for years to quickly find customer information. Your change is not an improvement. It makes finding vital information impossible.

  17. Return the ability to search by picture.

    The ability to search by picture was very valuable. By removing it you have crippled my ability to quickly find emails that customers sent me in the past about their furniture. I can't understand how removing a beautiful feature could be considered "improvement".

  18. Sorting by sent & received

  19. Restore the Ability to select ONE Folder, such as "Inbox" in Advance Search

    Restore the Ability to select ONE Folder, such as "Inbox" in Advance Search

    In the Old Yahoo Mail, one could edit the Email Search in "Advance Search" to limit the Search to a specific folder, such as "Inbox", or to any other User-folder. The Default Search is to search ALL Folders. One one keeps a "Sent" folder as a backup, then the Default Search would effectively a double-results Result, which would be way too much, and redundant.

    The New Yahoo Mail does NOT provide the ability in "Advance Search" to limit the scope of the Search to a specific folder.…
