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?
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!
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.
AI Summaries - Ability to disable this under Settings.
Right Hand Column - Ability to minimize: Contacts, Starred, More (Currently Yahoo Mail Plus subscribers)


TIPS:
Drag and drop messages to folders - Just click and hold on an email message, then drag and drop that message into a different folder. 
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. 
Dark Mode - Go to Settings > Appearance.
Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.

  1. send button

    Why do you have to scroll scroll scroll to the bottom of an email for the send button?! Send should always be at the top so you can hit it whenever you want!!!

  3. Switch back to Yahoo mail classic

    I can't find a way to switch back to the previous look and feel of Yahoo mail. The new interface is awful. Can I go back please?

  5. Only show subject line

    I like the new email except that I do not want any message preview when I am looking at my inbox. I want to see the full subject line and not the first line of the email. I have tried turning off message preview, but that doesn't do anything. I don't like how Yahoo mail shorten the subject and make me click on the message. I used to be able to delete unwanted emails without fulling opening them. Now some emails I have to open to see know if it is important. Please make an option to just see the…

  6. stop spam

    Why can't you stop this recent (past few months) onslaught of obvious spam? Multiple times a week identical spams come in bunches of 3 or 4. They always have a variety of random icons in the subject line and other places. On 6/13 I got 3 like this: ❉♚♞ Confirmation Needed: Your Omaha Steaks Reward ❉♚♞. It is SO OBVIOUS these are spam e-mails. I can't create a filter because the sender and subject are always different. In this day of AI, why can't you detect and block these OBVIOUS SPAM e-mails?

  7. delete all?

    Make the help section readable and searchable. Put the delete all button back on the top of the pages. The last thing i want to do is spend 6 hours deleting individual emails. If There is a way to enable it, please see very first sentence. This is FUBAR.
    Ease of use. Ease of use. Ease of use. Remember Proton mail is a click away.

  11. New Interface

    This new version is not nice, I used to see all my associated emails from the outside and can see when I have new unread emails in all of my accounts, now I have to go and choose the one I need to open and see, you blocked the outside general visibility of all emails, and forced me to open it one by one to see if I got new emails, Not good.

    At least leave an option for people to remain on the previous interface version if they feel more comfortable using it.

    People take time to adjust to…

  14. Remove the 1000 "block sender" limit

    Remove the 1000 "block sender" limit. In this age of relentless spam, the limit is quickly reached. There is no technical reason for the limit. It's just a "policy" decision that negatively affects YMail customers.

  15. Why was the Check All box removed?

    Why does it seem like Yahoo mail is becoming more difficult? You force us on to this lousy UI where an extra click is necessary to get to Spam and Trash and now we have to click every single email in a folder to remove them?

  17. ability to edit the list of suggested e-mail addresses when composing a message

    I used to be able to delete e-mail addresses that would show up when I started typing on the 'to' line when composing an e-mail, but the 'x' symbol to remove them from being suggested seems to be gone. The suggestions include any e-mail address that I have ever received a message from, regardless of if I have ever responded to it before. Please give that back so unnecessary, obsolete or invalid e-mail addresses can be removed from being suggested. Not having it is very annoying and there was absolutely no reason to remove it.

  18. Can't DElete

    Why the **** isn't delete working for removing trash and spam? Every new "improvement" does nothing but cause more problems. What happened to being able to bring up a menu of all of the mail options, select trash or spam and click on delete and have it gone This whole thing is an incredible mess. Go back to the old one

  19. GET RID OF IT!!!

    Want to improve this new yahoo mail? GET RID OF IT !!! I've put up with this mess long enough. It stinks! It's confusing; time consuming, ******* the eyes. I'd like to meet the genius who came up with this version for email. He/She should be fired!

    This new version of yahoo is horrible! I absolutely HATE IT! Why can't I delete 100 emails at once like I was able to do with my original version? How can I get my original version back?
