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.

  1. Email Preview Header is AWFUL

    I'm going to try this for a couple of days, but the HUGE HEADER that blocks most of the message preview (bottom especially) is a deal breaker for me. Again, I'll give this a shot for a day or two, but right now I'm most likely going back to Yahoo Classic, as that header is AWFUL.

  5. Add a refresh button on inbox page

    I would love to have a refresh button next to inbox on the left pane which will fetch the latest mail.
    Currently I need to refresh the page in browser to see the new mail.

  6. Correct Fault With Incoming Links

    On incoming emails I'm finding some of the links not live. It seems like the markdown syntax is being removed/altered so links are not live. I have tried other types of email account (to make sure the error isn't in the originating end) and the links always arrive fully functioning. They are only failing when sent to Yahoo accounts.

  8. I don't like what you have done to my home page. It's got more stuff that I never had before and is not relevant. to me

    I cant get my emails now. Once in a while I'll get one or two but nothing good about it. Yahoo itself is so messed up with garbage, a person cant get to an article because you have so much in the way. I can see you didn't change the site with the user in mind which doesn't surprise me at all. It's all about the advertising, well I hope your satisfied. Yahoo has been going down hill for years in their consumer area and comment areas. I used to get one or 2 though but not now, why dont…

  9. Hey yahoo. Will you ever fix this new mail site? It was very fine in the first place, then you put this half baked thing instead that isn't

    even working correctly.
    You want a suggestion? Put that old version back. Your last left users sure were not here for bells and whistles. The new has none of them anyway. Are you working towards a rage-relationship? That won't work.

  12. Fedback on NEW YAHOO MAIL...

    Hi All...
    Been a long, long time user of Yahoo mail...
    I. I would like it if you re-designed your icon for the Web browser (I use Firefox) to stand out in a more brighter colour...currently it just shows up as a dark blur with a tiny sliver of purple...a bee's eyelash...in a darkened room you canna see the thing at all.
    2. I would like an easier way of removing email options from my new email writing...the email is crowded with font, colour and all sorts of options. I canna find any easy button to just turn the ****…

  13. Let me delete by sender

    You want me to clean up my inbox, but it is so hard to select messages in bulk. Let me delete in bulk somehow, by sender, by date, anything but having to select every single message individually. If you don't, I won't clean up...

  14. when I'm Staring email, I want to be able to star it in the same column that I unstar

    in the main email page when I want to star an email I have to move to the right hand side to star and email, but the icon for the star is on the left of the description.

  15. When I select "full calendar" I can only see today's calendar instead of a monthly calendar.

    Can only see today's calendar, not a week or monthly calendar of events. This greatly diminishes value of the calendar. Give back the weekly monthly and year calendars. We are not fans of the new Yahoo.

  16. email preferences

    Where is the preference/option/setting to fix the way my email is displayed? I am scrolling through ONE email chain that has dozens of replies, and they seem to be out of order. I can't tell which end of the chain is the beginning and which is the end without doing an (unnecessary) analysis of the date/time stamps on each message.

    Give me an easily accessible way to "sort" the email ascending or descending by date/time.

  18. why do emails written and hit send--disappear with no trace?

    Why do emails written and ready to send, hit send and sometimes get an error "email cannot be saved as draft". The fully composed email no longer shows up anywhere---not in draft, not in sent, not in inbox. NOWHERE--as if it was never written. This has happened several times to important emails. They vanish without a trace. The former email never had this problem. This is an urgent issue.

  19. Bug: Deleting a draft deletes entire conversation email thread

    When I delete a single draft email within a conversation email thread, the entire email thread is permanently deleted instead of just the draft. This is a serious data loss issue. Drafts should be treated as separate items within a thread and not control the existence of the entire conversation. Please fix this behavior immediately in Yahoo! Mail.

  20. home page layout

    your new layout is TERRIBLE. I cannot access the down arrow for subfolders and cannot get into most of my files in those folders. There is no option in Setting that I can find to make adjustments. I need HELP IMMEDIATELY to get into my Inbox files. To be clear the Expand arrows pointing downward do not show up on the right because the left shoulder is too narrow and I cannot adjust it.
