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.

Resize Images - Resize an image within the message.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.

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.

  2. select star

    Each individual email has options to put star on the right side and once it is selected, the star shows up on the left side of the subject line.

    I think it is very inconvenient.
    Why don't we have that option to select star on email on the left side to start with?
    Sometimes, I try to click the yellow star on the right side and misclick and hit a wrong button.

    Please consider to make it a bit easier and efficient.

    Sincerely,

    Jin Madson

  3. send button

    PLEASE change the "send" button location so we don't have to use "full screen mode" just to see or use it. It's a pain to keep changing from normal to full screen just to send an email..... I'm thinking about just going back to "the old yahoo email".. it was much more user friendly.

  4. Problem with replying on emails.

    There is a problem with Yahoo Mail, when I try to reply to some company, then Yahoo Mail says it doesn't recognize the mail address, this has never happened in the past. Seems to be some kind of bug.

  6. Storage utilization metric not updating in real time.

    Yesterday my interface was informing me that I had 20.1GB out of 20GB, and I had to delete 121MB. I deleted hundreds of emails with attachments, and removed them from the Trash folder, in order to reduce my storage utilization, but this morning I am still getting a message that I have 20.1GB. Why isn't that storage value updating in real time?

  10. Settings not saving

    Settings not saving

    On my Android phone whenever I sign into my Yahoo! Mail account, it shows me the new version of Mail. When I go into settings and change it back to the original Yahoo! Mail, it works. When I sign out and clear the cookies and history, I log in again and it has the new version of Yahoo! Mail again. This is not happening on the desktop version and also it is not happening with another Yahoo! Mail account that I have. Can you please correct the problem? That would really help me out! Thank you so…

  11. DO NOT FORCE THAT NEW YAHOO MAIL ON EVERYONE. ITS AWFUL.

    I am glad you returned Yahoo mail back to the way it was this past month or so, but why are AGAIN pushing it out since you realized how bad it was??? The new yahoo mail that you plan to roll out AGAIN looks TERRIBLE and hides important menu folders. Why would you have three dots in order to show trash, spam, etc? when there is so much room to just put all of the folders there? Why are you doing this to us? It's clunky. It's not innovative. It's ugly and less user friendly. The emails themselves are HUGE,…

  12. take down the search for mail bar

    your search bar in the inbox is so big that I can not press on anything else. I have to close out the mail and go back in several times to get anything done. and I can not access my older posts because of it. this is the second time of me saying something about making this search box smaller so you can work around it, but nooo you keep it soo big it takes up half the page. fix this mistake soon please.

  14. Make a Select All that actually selects all.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE grant the ability for the UI to allow me to select ALL the emails in a category when I select "select all". Right now it only lets me do 100 emails at a time, just the emails that are loaded onto the screen. I have tens of thousands of emails I want to delete at a time. doing 100 emails at a time is going to take forever!

    For example, when I select "offers" tab there needs to be a "select all" selection that allows me to delete them ALL. When I do it now, I select…

  16. storage

    My storage is 180% over its limit and I have deleted all of the attachments, pictures, folders and trash. Over 550,000 emails still exist but they are not deleting in batches of 10,000 like they are supposed to (they are deleting in batches of 100). I have been working on this for 2 days and am not making any progress in freeing up storage. Any advice?

  20. 14" SCREEN TROUBLE

    I use a 14" screen laptop. The new yahoo display often hides the send button, I can not scroll down far enough.
    The yahoo search bar covers the tabs at the top - back, delete tabs.
    This affects both reading incoming emails and writing emails.
    I'd like to go back to the older version if there is no fix to this. Please help.
    I have tried making the email images smaller so I can reach the bottom of the email, to no avail.
