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.

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.

  2. restore my mail account!

    How about this... STOP corporate greed. Stop demanding money for email. If you DO want money, offer Australian Yahoo users other options besides the ridiculous $10 per month for email. After using your email services for over 25 years, I suddenly get cut off, without being able to at least receive emails so that I can get organised and have time to reply to people to tell them this email is no longer viable??? What kind of ***** are you???

  3. It's ugly, dark mode is.

    The color pallet on dark mode is very similar, it's suppose to be two tones and it's black and charcoal black. The previous layout was easy to read and follow. Now it strains my eyes so I had to switch back to light mode. I also don't like this forced change and I will be considering closing my account of over 25 years.

  4. PLEASE ALLOW USER TO SWITCH BACK TO CLASSIC MODE

    Please bring back the "switch to classic" mode back. I do not like the new look, nor do I like how it breaks up my emails into categories. I am missing emails that way. I like to have everything in front of me with not a lot of clicks to get to them.

    Thank you!

  8. Really need to switch back to Yahoo basic

    This yahoo version is useless, a pathetic waste of my time. It is very slow, cluttered, has useless features, drains my battery and difficult to use. I have repeatedly requested that yahoo switch me back to the basic version. You can do that, so why wouldn't you? It doesn't make any sense to torture people to use this nonsense. Please switch me back to yahoo basic. Thank you.

  10. Allow user to set email filters to inbox categories

    For some reason the automatic message sorts in category placement in the inbox has changed. Hence, now most of
    messages that were previously going to the 'proper' categories (offers, social and newsletter) are now showing up in the primary inbox category. A function like the one when the user moves a message to the Spam folder that sets a filter, could be implemented for when the user moves a message to a different inbox category.

  12. Move Unread Folder up on the left side bar or give us the option to customize our side bar.

    Move Unread Folder up on the left side bar or give us the option to customize our side bar. I use the unread tab every day to see what's new and mark my emails as "read" quickly. With the new design, the Unread folder is now hidden under the three dots and requires an extra click every time I'd like to navigate to it. If for some reason it doesn't make sense to move the unread box up for everyone, then let us customize our own side bars or restore the option to revert back to Classic Mail. Thanks!

  13. bring back some lost functionality please!

    Please bring back:
    1. Create Filter from this message/sender shortcut.
    2. Search no longer lets me choose which folder to search, it searches every folder by default.
    3. "Delete all emails" deletes from all folders, not just the folder selected. I don't want to delete every email from that sender, just those in the Inbox.
    No option on your account to return to the prior Yahoo Mail interface. Yahoo confirms that some accounts no longer have the rollback option.

  16. Protect Starred/Tagged Emails from "Select All" Deletion

    The 'Select All' feature is fantastic for quickly clearing junk. However, when 'Select All' is used, it includes emails that I have already marked as Starred (or otherwise "tagged important").

    My suggestion is that the system should be designed to automatically exclude any emails that are Starred/Tagged Important when the user selects 'Select All' for deletion. This would prevent accidentally deleting priority messages while mass-clearing the inbox.

    In short: Starred/Important emails should be protected from the 'Select All' function for deletion.
