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?
Search by Sender - Just hover over the sender's profile image and a spyglass icon will appear where you can search all emails by that sender.
Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
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!
Differentiate Unread v. Read - Better ways to see the difference.
Resize Images - Resize an image within the message.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.
Right Hand Column - Ability to minimize: Contacts, Starred, More (Currently for Yahoo Mail Plus subscribers)


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.
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.
Dark Mode - Go to Settings > Appearance.

  2. Additional customization for message layout

    It would be nice if there were a way to remove the box on the right-hand side of the message box, the one with labels flagged along the top "Starred, Contacts, and More". That box is pointless and just takes up space. I would rather my preview box for my messages be bigger so I can read them more easily. I have sized down the list to be as small as allowed, but it would be helpful if I could make it even smaller. More options in settings for appearance customization would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  4. Clean up the order messages appear in the email string

    I have tried the new Yahoo! Mail for 3-4 months. I hate it. The order than messages in a string appear is confusing and I have forgotten to send messages more than once. Thank goodness there is now a way to eliminate the AI summary. That is unnecessary for the kinds of emails I get. I will be turning it off.

    I prefer seeing the most recent message at the top and all others in descending order by date. without having to expand the screen. It is confusing to see the most recent and then once you press the key…

  7. Oh it isn't an idea IT IS AN ISSUE

    First there is nothing on your help.yahoo.com page that helps with the problem I have . Second if we keep being forced to change p@sswords every two days we will quit your platform as it is becoming unsatisfactory . You want to improve , stop making people change their p@sswords every two days .

  10. Search is slow

    When moving an email from inbox to another folder, the search feature is very very slow which results in the search results ( in this case folders ) not matching the search criteria.

  11. I never got as much SPAM and SEX FILTH as I do with Yahoo, I am sorry Cox sold out to you. AI should not be into my emails

    Your AI writing to me about what my personal emails are about is horrific. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING ME???? remember the movie '1984'. You have no right to be reading and commenting on my personal emails. It might be worth my time changing to something else even though it will take me hours to change my address on all the sites I use medical, shopping, people, news etc. I never liked Yahoo from day one after Cox and it's getting worse.........too much **** in my mail box and an invasion of privacy.

  15. MFA Push is Complete Junk

    I would happily re-enable MFA, but you idiots are making me log in every single time I switch accounts. WTF is wrong with security people these days? I am obviously connecting from the SAME IP and SAME BROWSER I did 10 minutes ago, so why the non-stop MFA prompts when it is obviously me? I have had these accounts for decades and ever since Verizon bought this, they have continued to make it crappier and crappier, with unneeded security and useless AI in the way constantly.

  17. the memory restriction now causing lot of issues, wont allow me to delete folder specific emails

    My email has stopped working for the last few days. Unfortunately, the issues with your service are making it very difficult for me to continue using Yahoo, and it is forcing me to consider moving everything to Gmail.

    If I am unable to delete bulk emails, how am I supposed to free up storage space? Please prioritise fixing these basic features so users can properly manage their accounts.

  18. More EMAILS on screen

    Get rid of side column for starred, etc - or at least give an option to minimize the space it takes up on the screen.
    Bring back narrow rows so I can see more emails on the screen at once.
    Or make old yahoo mail visually customizable again.
