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.
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.
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.

  3. inbox background color

    The grayed-out area in the inbox that denotes emails that have been read is very difficult to read for someone with contrast vision issues. I much prefer unread email in bold and read-emails not in bold - on a white background.

  5. where is the move to inbox folder

    Do not like the new August 2025 look of yahoomail--it's a regression. The old was easier to differentiate the various sections--folders, emails from each other. Old layout, design easier on the eyes. The updated 8/2025 layout is one big blank page which is harder to differentiate the list of emails from opened email from folders, etc. Where is the "Move to the Inbox" feature? Thank you.

  6. Moving emails

    The new format is no good. Difficult to move emails to the folders and don't like emails being highlighted dark. Overall a failure. Also too many ads.

  7. Top three lines are scrunched & overlaid

    Please fix the top of the screen--the top 3 lines are scrunched and overlaying each other. And the double scroll lines do not always allow me to go to the bottom of the screen to attach a file or hit send. Please fix that also.

  8. EMPTY DELETED ITEMS/TRASH

    I am trying to delete all my old emails (before 2019). It is manual and it takes forever. I just noticed after I delete them they go into the Trash Folder. I can't empty it and I don't want to have to manually delete them too. Can I get help at least deleting the trash folder?

  12. no useful tools for cleaning out old emails; no consideration for people with disabilities

    Your entire web team, including all decision makers, should be *-slapped for a few weeks straight. What the literal *, people? So, for 30-some years you impose zero storage limits AND make it really really hard -- nearly impossible, really -- to clean out old inboxes and folders in any remotely efficient way, but now suddenly you impose a limit, and implement ZERO useful tools for doing so.

    Zero ways to filter by size. The Android App has that, but doesn't allow multiple selections, so the biggest messages have to be deleted one by one. You utter total…

  14. Spam filter does not work

    improve tour spam filter. You are letting blatantly false emails through that borders on malfeasance. I am seriously questioning Yahoo's technical capabilities and whether I should abandon your entire platform. Again, let me emphasis how badly I am disappointed in your ability to protect customers.

  19. default to all

    I would prefer the initial page of my yahoo emails defaulted to "all" instead of "priority". I've been unable to find a way to do so myself. Yahoo's algorithms, or ai, has failed to effectively determine my priorities, and if I don't remember to click the "all" button, I miss out on important emails.

    Thank you for giving customers a chance to provide feedback and for anything that can be done to make this change.

  20. spam

    Too many spam emails are getting through to the inbox. Many more than before you made all these changes.
    Also spam folder is too difficult to get to in order to check in order to search for a missing email.
