*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
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!

TIPS:
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.

Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.

  1. Update Yahoo Mail Settings

    both the mobile & desktop settings are very outdated and should be updated. its like i am going from 2025 right back to 2015 when i go on settings. to start, add icons on the left side of the name, exactly like for example, the settings button with the gear icon next to it. this would be huge for me and make me want to stay on yahoo mail

  2. shift select not working

    When selecting groups of emails the shift select is not working properly. Typically you select an email the shift select a different email and everything in between is also selected. You can then continue and select and shift select to get another group and so on. In the new Yahoo Mail the selected is always the email currently being read. This makes it cumbersome to quickly select different groups of emails.

  3. Please reduce the size of the headings when writing emails

    When writing an email, about HALF THE SCREEN is taken up by SEARCH YOUR MAIL, BLANK SPACE, SUBJECT (3X SIZE FONT) SENDER, REPEAT OF SUBJECT LINE. Everything has extra space before and after the text line. Again more wasted space. Subject line doesn't need to appear twice--and the 3x version doesn't need to be there. This format only allows half the screen height to compose the email content. Please make mail easier to use and work with by getting rid of the excessive wasted space which minimizes usable space to write emails.

  4. Reduce white space / padding

    There is too much space / padding between the UI elements in New Yahoo Mail.

    Even on a full-HD screen there is too little space to view the actual email (without having to open it in seperate view every time).

    You should consider providing a switch between "comfortable" and "compact" theme, to maximize screen realestate.

  5. Yahoo Preview Link

    hello,

    My organization has noticed that Yahoo AI email summary does not query links fully. The AI summary will sometimes present a link that redirects me to a different URL than I would have gotten to if I clicked on the link. I would like to understand the type of query requests Yahoo Preview is making but I am unable to find specific documentation on this.

  6. click inbox to refresh

    In the new mail interface, I'd like to be able to click the "inbox" icon on the left nav and have it check for new mail and remain in the mail view I'm in. Currently if you click the "inbox" to check for new mail you are always reset back to the "priority" view. I need to do this for MFA tokens and the like, but they don't always end up in the "priority" tab. So I have to do one more step and switch back to the "all" view. I dislike the browser reload as I feel like I'm…

  7. Type of Ads in my email

    Please stop putting these dating sites within my email. They show up several times while reading my email and there is no place for me to unsubscribe or block them out. Stop forcing these sites on me. They are disgusting and I did not sign up for this. I do understand I will get ads. However, your ads are out of control when you keep posting them inside my emails.

  10. Mail Advanced Search Does not Search Name Adequately

    Hello,

    Your advanced search form in Mail should search by rendered name in order to help users bulk identify spam.

    I am receiving a lot of spam from addresses encoded like this:
    From: =?UTF-8?B?86CBvU5h86CBvfOggb1086CBvfOggb3zoIG9afOggb1v86CBvfOggb3zoIG986CBvfOggb1u86CBvfOggb3zoIG9YfOggb1sRGVi86CBvfOggb10UvOggb1l86CBvfOggb1s86CBvWnzoIG9ZWbzoIG9LmNv86CBvfOggb1t86CBvfOggb4=?= zxtxlaluqr@gaviner.com

    Many of them will display with the same name in the From, such as "NationalDebtRelief.com". You cannot search for these and mark them all as spam because the "NationalDebtRelief" as a search term gets no results due to the encoding.

    In any case, a From address like this should be a huge red flare for your spam filter. Why do users even have to mark…

  12. Stop being stupid

    STOP putting the cursor at he top of the screen. I like/Need to see what I've typed to make it coherent. I am tempted to drop Yahoo and use the google interface.

    Also, I like seeing ALLL my emails while you prefer to pick and choose what YOU think is important. It is not about YOU it is MY email.

    STOP IT. STOP doing both of those actions as it makes managing my email more difficult.

    I am already signed in. Why are you making everything so difficult.

  14. Problems with your updated version

    I would like to let you know that the summaries you are now including with a longer email messages are not helpful. They are confusing and often communicate a message that contradicts the actual message the sender sent. Also, since you have made some recent updates to your system sending reply messages has become very difficult because after you type a line the screen jumps and the line you just typed is no longer visible. You have a good product and service, why did you mess it up?

    When I move an email to one of my folders, it continues to show in my IN Box, though it shows as read. Can I change that in settings so that when it is moved, it no longer shows in the IN Box?

  18. Cannot be done because of restriction on Yahoo part.

    It is impossible to navigate between Yahoo while a search from another folder is taking place. Not even a split page is in place. The information that is being sort is for purpose of completing a request so that a report sorted can be seen.
