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?
AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off
Reply/Forward Icons - You can see the arrow icons when you've replied or forwarded to a message.
Up/Down Arrow, Scrolls Now - In full message view, not preview pane.
Sender's Email Address - You don't have to open the email to see the sender's email address. Just hover over the sender's name from your Inbox. 
Search Results Will Show Folder - Now when you do a search, where the emails are located will show up.


COMING SOON!
Total Number of Emails - See total number and not just unread messages.
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:
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.
Drag and drop messages to folders - Just click and hold on an email message, then drag and drop that message into a different folder. 
Dark Mode - Go to Settings > Appearance.
Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.

  1. Filtering is fine, but by default, I want to see All, not Priority

    Filtering is fine, but by default, I want to see All, not Priority. How do I fix this? If I want priority, I can click on it later. I've missed important emails that your 'AI' nonsense put in another category.

  2. Email lists

    I formed some groups of email lists, so I can email Group 1, Group 2, etc. When it changed to the new Yahoo format, I can't find or access those groups. So, I can't add, change, or delete any email addresses in the groups.

  3. date

    Having emails broken up by date is helpful when trying to locate a relevant email. Yes, it is ordered by date in the inbox, but not being able to see where yesterday, last week, and last month emails start makes it very difficult when doing a visual search because you cannot search using the correct key word or recall the sender - only roughly when it was sent. Please bring back the time periods (today, yesterday, last week, last month, last year, etc.).

  4. issues with new format

    several issues. 1) it doesn't go to the next email after delete. 2) the down arrow doesn't go to the next email. 3) can't click 1 email, hold shift and click another email to have all those in range be selected. 4) you don't need to select an action and then apply. just have the action button. 5) don't require clicking Refresh to show new emails; just refresh automatically.

  5. Summary

    Please go back to classic format. At the least, you need to provide the option to remove the bothersome AI. And why is Yahoo defaulting to judge what is a priority email in my inbox? Isn't this my email? The new views stink. Why did I have to hunt for the Spam and Trash folders? Really bad idea to change the format and really, really bad new format!!.

  6. Allow users of the original Yahoo Mail to adjust font size and style

    For those of us who prefer the old Yahoo Mail layout, please restore the ability to change font size and style. The inbox shows the correct font, but when I go to compose, the font is very small.

  7. Inbox issues

    New Inbox design does not show # of unread email as it does for folders like older version. Inbox unread/read coloring is NOT easy to notice.

    Moving emails between folders or back is not as smooth as older version. Have to attempt 3 or 4 times & multiple ways before it works.

    Prefer older version but NO WAY to go back to it now.

  8. when selecting multiple emails, it jumps around then defaults to selecting all

    when selecting multiple emails, it jumps around then defaults to selecting all, needs to keep the list as selected and not average the length of the selected emails, for example if you select the first email, then the 20th email, the list will jump from somewhere in the middle and you have to scroll back to the 2nd , and then it jumps back to the new midddle section

  9. Expanded Folders

    When I first signed into the new yahoo, it gave me the option for expanded or condensed view for the left side (inbox, sent, folders, "dot dot dot"). Now that option is gone, and I am stuck in condensed, but I want expanded so I can see my folder. You gave me the option in "what new?", but now I cannot adjust that setting.

  10. trash and spam buttons too close together and move after each email, accidentally marking trash as spam

    the trash and spam buttons are too close together and move after deleting an item. when i trash an item, the same mouse location sometimes becomes spam, accidentally marking emails as spam.

  13. You can't mark and delete all unread messages in bulk anymore. I dislike this new format.

    You can't mark and delete all unread messages in bulk anymore. It was very easy to delete all unread messages at once before this change. I dislike this new format

  16. Remove the Unsubscribe button from the list with messages

    It's very easy to hit this button unwantedly now. And there is no any need to have it exposed in such a prominent place.

  17. Select all Mail

    For some reason, selecting all email is no an intuitive process. Any mail programs I use make it a simple task to select all visible emails to mark them for deletion or move. This interface makes this process and several other tasks impossible to achieve - I can't find a Select All button anywhere.

  19. Unable to use "Email this list" on the contacts section

    My problem is that since the new Yahoo mail came about, the "Email this list" function has not been working anymore. I have set up distribution lists in the contacts section and I used to be able to click on the "Email this list" button and it would populate the "To:", CC, or BCC fields. Now I can click until I am blue in my face and it would not do it.

  20. Customize the fonts in my email

    I no longer see any option to customize the fonts in my email - I can no longer make something, bold, italic, change the font size, etc. This has to be added back!
