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
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!
Resize Images - Resize an image within the message.
Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.

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.
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.

  1. It's terribly clunky

    Some of the old features have now gone. The appearance is terrible, not aesthetically pleasing. It is more difficult to tell if an email has been read or not. And the magnifying glass that used to allow you to search for any emails from that sender is now gone. Overall, it was a bad decision to change it, as now it is clunky.

  5. bring back basic mail as an option, please

    Basic mail worked better for me. I don't want to have to stop using Yahoo Mail, but I will due to the new one just not working well for me.

  6. Feedback on new design.

    The new visual design has taken a step backward for me. I had a theme that was between light and dark mode, neither of which I like. Light mode is too light, everything white, which makes nothing distinguishable. Dark mode is similar except that it make everything shocking to to my eyes. My old theme was purple around the outside of the message pane which made a differentiation in what I was looking at which is important to me. The other thing that's important to me is switching between accounts. I have 6 email addresses that I switch between for…

  7. Help options

    How about you fix your ridiculous Help option? When I click on "contact a Yahoo specialist",the form just goes around in an endless loop instead of actually allowing me to continue.

    I will like to switch back to the old display of yahoo mail but unfortunately I don't have the option. This optional should always be able for the end users.

  12. when I go to read an email, it is "selected" for deletion--please stop this

    when I go to read an email, it is "selected" for deletion--please stop this. Mail never used to do this. If you don't catch it and UNSELECT it, emails are getting deleted when they should not be. This is an awful "feature". Let the USER DECIDE which emails to keep, move, delete etc.

  14. attached files showing up twice in the email

    Why are attached files showing up twice in an email once sent? If you click on the mis attached one, yahoo mail kicks you out of the email and you have to go back in to view/download the attachments. This is a new problem

  15. Background colors for mail

    I do not like the light or dark mode to see my mail. The blue background was easier on my eyes & a nice color. If there is why to set the background color please let me know or make it an option so people can decide or change it back.

  16. NOT Receiving emails

    I am attempting to change my Facebook password as I cannot get into my account. They e-mail you a code in order to change the password. Have tried about a dozen times but I’m not receiving it. I am receiving emails from Facebook because I keep getting messages from them saying, you have notifications, you have not been in your account for a while please log in. But I can’t because the password is not working and I can’t change the password because my yahoo is not accepting the e-mail from them with the code!!! What is the problem??

  17. how do I show an expanded folders list on the left side?

    When the new interface was forced on me a few days ago I had to click the Folders icon in the left column to expand my list of subfolders. But the list did not stay expanded. Every time I came back to the site I had to click again to expand the list. Now it's even worse - clicking the Folders icon leads to a popup list of folders so I can't drag and drop... How do I fix this??

  19. Deleting one by one is a nightmare.

    I am trying to delete junk email but have to select them one by one. I don't have the time to do that. Why can't we select 100 at a time like under spam?!
