WHAT'S NEW?
AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off
Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.
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. 



COMING SOON!

Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.

TIPS:
Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.
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.
Drag and drop messages to folders - Just click and hold on an email message, then drag and drop that message into a different folder.

  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

    I used emails in a specific folder not the whole mailbox. It'll be nice to have that feature again. Thank you

  3. Search by Sender

    One of the key features I use quite frequently is the "Search by Sender". I get lots of emails from specific vendors like Rumble, Zillow, and other vendors that send me notifications. In the past, I click on the "..." and I can select Search Sender, and I can find all my emails. With the new interface, you have to open the email and select "Search Sender". Why move this function to an actual email? For EMAIL management, this capability should be a mailbox feature, not a specific email feature.

  4. I have an issue with the search emails

    Another issue is with the old yahoo mail I could do a search of my inbox only. With the new yahoo mail when I go to inbox and then go to the search box in upper left, it searches ALL emails in ALL of the folders, not just my inbox.

  5. search doesn't work in spam

    Hello, the Search feature does not work for the Spam folder. even going to the Spam folder and seeing the exact email you want to search for and type in the key word and it says "there is nothing in this folder" This is a major issue as you know the automatic Spam filter is not always accurate and occasionally moves important emails to spam. Someone says they sent the email, you search and Yahoo says it's not there. That is an issue.

  7. blackmailing users

    I think that it is horrible that you are blackmailing loyal users to suddenly have to buy storage space because you decided to cut your storage limit from 1tb to 2gb a drop of 98% I have used yahoo mail for over 20 years and I have 68gb in my account there is no way I can magically remove over 66gb. I can see if you do that policy going forward but forcing loyal customers to do mass deletions or stop receiving mail is pretty much just extortion!!

  8. Search on Sender

    There are many filter and search options that have changed. Now instead of searching on sender, you now can only search on subject line. This is very frustrating. Usually when changes are made it is to improve the service. I would like to be able to search on sender, and I would also like to be able to sort by sender. This makes it much easier to delete all messages from a specific sender. PLEASE bring that back! Thank you!

  10. Yahoo Mail Search History

    There is no way to Permanently Clear your Yahoo Mail Search History, You can delete a mail history item but it will reappear when you next sign-on to Yahoo even if you clear all cookies in all Browsers.

    Please fix!!

    Thank you,
