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.




**Please do NOT post about Account, Password, Login issues here. It will be deleted. Please go to help.yahoo.com.

  1. Small email viewing

    Why the F!@#$ is my **** window for viewing an email less than half the width of my ******* computer screen?

    Worthless f@#$ing service at this point. Actively migrating my logins from yahoo email and never using this service again.

  2. Just Leave It The **** Alone

    My idea is just leave our email alone. Don't mess with something that works just fine. We are already bombarded on a daily -- sometimes hourly -- basis with insults and assaults on our institutions and rights from the Highchair King in the not-so White House without having to cope with some battery of changes that you all think are a "good idea" that "will make our lives easier" when in fact all your "improvements" will do is cost us time and frustration trying to figure them out and reconfigure our email systems to fit into your preconceived notion of…

  4. Deleting all messages from a sender all at once

    When you have thousands of emails from a sender and want to delete all at once instead of 50 at a time. That needs to be an option. I have 230K emails. And for someone like me this makes life way easier.

  6. Primary inbox

    I am missing emails because of this Primary tab prioritization.
    I need an ALL option to be my default, and currently I cannot change the default setting.
    Please, consider it.

  7. Message Deleted Banner Shouldn't Block e-Mail Naviagtion

    Please don't block the e-mail navigation buttons at top with the Message Deleted/Moved Banner. I see no reason to make us click to dismiss it just to Delete/Move/Reply/ETC our messages.

  8. Terrible Log In Interface

    This might be a general login issue, but Yahoo, in its infinite wisdom, doesn't make it easy to give feedback for that. So here goes: WHO WAS THE BRAINIAC who designed the login page so that, when you enter the user ID and you are prompted for a passkey, when you click "try to log in some other way" (bypassing the key), an error page is shown and you are asked to try again later? I DON'T WANT TO TRY LATER, I want to log in with my ******* password. The only solution was to remove the key. **** if…

  11. Non-functional and irritating UI

    Allow users to chose the version of UI... I was told I had to subscribe for an older version of the UI... How stupid is that? Totally a money grab, greedy jerks.

  12. Bring back folders

    Folders are missing in the Android App. Your chatbot thinks they should be in the menu under the profile, but they are not. I briefly got them to come back at the bottom left corner menu by opening a message and choosing to move to another folder. When I went back to the inbox, the bottom menu was there. When I scrolled, it disappeared, and I can't get it back. I even moved another message to a different folder, but it is still gone. I can't see Sent, I can't check Spam, I can't see any of my custom folders…

  15. Print message

    My idea is to be able to print my email messages from the print button. I have to click inside the message in order to print and it prints the entire page including the side bar. Old version did not have this problem.

  19. Move or remove toolbar

    In the legacy Yahoo Desktop Mail, there is a toolbar on the right (when message preview is shown below the email preview list) that has buttons for "Contacts, Calendar, Notepad, Help, Settings".
    This should be moved to the left column (above or under "Compose") and free up about 25% of the screen real estate. Or at least put in an option to remove the toolbar from view.
    This change would be vastly better and an improvement on even the new Mail screen.
