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?
Search by Sender - Just hover over the sender's profile image and a spyglass icon will appear where you can search all emails by that sender.
Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
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!
Differentiate Unread v. Read - Better ways to see the difference.
Resize Images - Resize an image within the message.
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.

  3. Sort function

    Bring back sorting the inbox (and every other folder) by sender or subject line. Enable searching within a specific folder instead of the entire account. In other words, when I am in folder 'family' and I conduct a search I don't want results from 'inbox' and 'work.' The updates have degraded my ability to sort and clean out my inbox from the previous experience/user interface.

  4. I continue to lose drafts due to backspacing

    I have lost countless drafts and now have lost the entire folder due to merely backspacing in a document. How to recover these documents which were saved before going back in to edit. This is a huge glitch

  5. Introduce schedule mail

    Namaskar, I've been using it for a long time, and I'm happy to be a Yahoo user. Now, I would like to request adding a feature like scheduled send mail, as it would be very helpful for users who rely on their mail for personal and official correspondence.

    I hope I'll soon get a new update on my feedback.

    Thank you.

  6. functional search engine with easy navigation

    As a long-time Yahoo Mail user, I would like to point out that with the latest version of this mail I have a problem with searching for emails by sender name.
    I don't get what I need at all and like it was in the previous version.

    When I select to see an email from a specific name, I don't get just the name I need, but all possible emails sent by others. It completely blocks my quick browsing and selection activities.

    Please show me a solution.

  7. unread filter is now useless

    I'm now stuck in the new UI and the unread folder doesn't have the option to filter out the sent items. I need to find and remove some 50,000 old emails and now I can't reach them because of all the unsubscribe emails you sent on my behalf.

  8. Extra, unnecessary navigation and features being forced

    I like the new look, however there are a couple things I dislike. It seems now I need to actually select an email to "Star" it. That wasn't necessary prior. Also, the trash icon will not appear on the email in the left column unless you move your mouse away and return. These new aspects are seriously annoying and would prefer an option for that not to be that way. When changing the look, please don't change folder structures. Every time you give a facelift, I have to take time to put things back the way they were through a…

  11. Delete confirmation pop up partially covers the trash can icon for the next message

    The delete confirmation pop up partially covers the trash can icon for the next message in the message list. moving the confirmation pop up up a few pixels will resolve that.

  17. Missing Email

    You can improve by not having emails "disappear". I had a specific email that I rec'd. a week or two ago. It is nowhere to be found. Just gone. This is the second or third disappearing email I've noticed since the conversion to the "new" Yahoo mail. The last time I opened this email was on Wednesday or Thursday, 8/27 or 8/28... less than a week ago. I searched all mail for anything from that sender and got no hits. If there's something I should be doing to prevent this please let me know.

  18. sort emails by size

    Presently, I am unable to sort emails by size, nor am I able to see what makes up the size limit, by emails. I'd like to have all my options of deleting old emails and large files, until I have cleaned up my inbox enough to have space so that I don't have to purchase more space, unless I have to or need to keep email in my inbox for some reason. Currently, it does not let me see how much more space I need to clear after a certain amount and I lose the ability to delete with the…

  19. selecting

    Selecting mails to delete has been a pain. The delete all unread button is not visible on interface until you select a mail. PLEASE increase visibility for this.

    Even the touch radius of selecting multiple mails allows too much room for user error. I'm trying to select the checkbox for multiple emails but when I'm trying to do it fast, I misclick outside of the checkbox and it opens the mail instead. please increase the radius of that area so that i can select multiple to delete without a misstep.

  20. Number of items in each folder

    The number of messages in folders only shows an unread tally. I would like to see the number of ALL read and unread messages like it was previously.
