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.

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.

  1. Notification Prompt Irritant

    Stop the "notification" popup! It appears several times a day when I'm checking mail. Checking "Maybe Later" doesn't cut it. I already get a notification on my phone, I DO NOT NEED A DESKTOP EMAIL NOTIFICATION!!! What an annoyance!

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.).

  5. Adding More Color Options & Themes to Appearance

    Dear Yahoo,

    Please add more color options and themes under the Settings - Appearance menu.

    Currently, there are only three options: Light (white), Dark (black), and Device (half black/white).

    The options are very boring and unappealing. I would imagine you could add a variety of color options and seasonal themes for users rather than just black or white which is disappointing.

    Thank you.

  6. Block emails from the different addresses but the same domain

    I am under attack from spammers! Every day I see my inbox has loads of emails from different people but they are all from the same domain. Something along the lines of:
    pete@saveafrica.etc
    dave@saveafrica.etc
    debbie@saveafrica.etc
    I have to go through each email individually to block/delete them.
    I would like to be able to select multiple messages and block/delete them all together

  7. Bring back the log out on mail screen

    I go into mail first thing. I can no longer log off from the new Yahoo mail screen. If I select going to any other option a new tab is opened which I do not want. I will have to go back to the old Yahoo mail.

  8. new sort for email

    I get so much email from companies trying to sell me stuff or send receipts or just spam that is not recognized as spam. It is much easier for me to sort by sender. I can look quickly at all the brief descriptions and see if it is something to delete. When advertisements or such are mixed with ads or such from other companies I need to stop and look back at the sender each time to see if it is really something to delete or not.

  12. spam filtering

    You have to allow for known contacts to go to inbox. It is a known issue as complained about on the reddit forums that your spam filtering is terrible. Known contacts should not go to spam, yet they do.

  15. Bring back a feature

    When composing a message and pasting in a graphic (in the text message area, not as an attachment), yahoo mail used to offer a feature where the user could click on the right corner of the graphic before the message was sent that allowed the user to change it to an attachment or make it smaller or remove it completely. It'd be great to bring that feature back. Also offer user a method to remove an image that he pasted into the text(again, before sending the message) if user decides they don't want to include an image before sending.

  17. Email Box Clean-Up help

    Hi, I would like to have the ability to search for a email address and mass delete messages. For example I unsubscribed to newsletter I don't use any more but have 2000+ emails, would be nice if there is a way to search and mass delete messages you unsubscribed too. Maybe even a feature of the unsubsribe button.

  18. Daily streak pop-up message

    There is this daily streak pop-up that Yahoo is showing that is annoying and useless. Few people cam find a way to turn it off. Your 'help' file doesn't even show how to eliminate it.It provides zero value. Please create a clear way to disable it.
