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:
Calendar - We moved it from under "More" on the right hand side to it's own icon. Still on the right hand side, but it's now the first icon next to Starred and Contacts.

TIPS:
Disable Inbox Categories (All, Primary, etc) - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Inbox Categories.
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.
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.
Sort By Sender - This is still a sorting option, but you must disable Conversation view under your Settings. Then you will see "Sender name"
Disable AI Summaries - Go to Settings > AI features > Toggle Off



COMING SOON!
Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon!




**Please do NOT post about Account, Password, Login issues here. It will be deleted. Please go to help.yahoo.com.

  2. fix this bug

    Looking at a big inbox... you want to quickly select a bunch of messages (easy) and mark them all read (also easy), but then, you want to move on, and select a bunch more. In the old UI, after marking messages as read, they were deselected, so it was easy to move on to the next set. Now, the messages remain selected, so to not consider them again, you have to either unmark them all (a PITA), or select all, and deselect all using the 'all' marker at the top of the column (also a PITA). IMHO, this is a…

  5. Yahoo Mail Plus subscription on an annual basis?

    Hello Team,

    Is it true that you can't get (buy) a Yahoo Mail Plus subscription on an annual basis? I'm referring to the subscription that removes ads from your email.

  6. attachment filenames with greek characters are not displayed on iphone

    Hello,

    I have been using Yahoo Mail via Chrome on Windows for years without any issues. However, during the last week, a new problem has appeared.

    When I send email attachments (PDF, DOCX, JPG) with Greek filenames, recipients using Apple Mail on iPhone cannot open them correctly. The attachment name appears encoded, for example:

    =?UTF-8?Q?...

    instead of the actual Greek filename.

    If I rename the same file using only Latin characters, the attachment opens normally on the iPhone.

    The files themselves are not corrupted. The problem seems to occur during the email sending process, as the filename encoding appears to…

  7. Creating A List

    I am trying to create a list in Yahoo mail. I successfully created the list and added one contact, but I need to add 15 more. When I open the list and click Add Contacts then type the name exactly as it appears in the contacts, it does not find the name. But when I click all contacts, the name is there with a valid email address. This appears to be a bug in Yahoo.

  10. Have differnt Star Colors

    I was thinking it would be great if the user could change the star color from just red. I personally star a tone of emails but they are for different things like work, purchase orders, medical and so on. So for example, I could star my work emails with a yellow star and for medical a blue star and so on. Just food for thought.

  12. Microsoft Teams invites

    You had this feature before, but now I can no longer accept invites from Micorsoft Teams in my email. I have my email linked to my google calendar so the solution to add invites to my yahoo mail are useless. This would be one of the biggest reasons I may have to stop using yahoo if you guys can't fix this.

  14. file name of attachment

    I sometimes receive emails with Attached files, and it's important for me to easily read the Full File name of the attached files, and I'd like to do this w/o opening the file.

    For example, if I am working on a project with someone and they are sending me attachments with file names that have a rev number in them or other information in the file name that gives me information on the file. I don't see anyway to view the full file name except by downloading the file. I would like to be able to hover my cursor over…

  15. external images

    Even though I have external images disabled in my settings, webmail (I'm using Firefox) is displaying those images anyway, with a message saying that they are shown by default, along with a link to the the settings. I've tried changing the setting back and forth just in case, and it still doesn't work.

    This has only started happening with the recent site redesign.

    Why is it impossible to copy/paste an email address?

    For example, in the "To" you add a name. Then, there's no way to click it, to grab the text of the email address.

  17. MOVE option not working

    I receive messages from EBAY concerning automatic searches I have set up with them Most of these correctly go to the OFFERS folder but some go to PRIORITY. I select the message in PRIORITY and clicked on MOVE, select MORE OPTIONS. change the pull-down menu to OFFERS and click the MOVE button. The message disappears from PRIORITY. When I click to OFFERS folder, that message from EBAY is not there. I checked the other folder and it is not in either of them. If I go back to the PRIORITY folder, the EBAY message is there.

  18. Delete By Sender

    Yahoo really needs a "sweep" function. I am sure I don't need to describe it, but it allows you to select one or more emails and "sweep" them to a folder, or delete. It removes all emails in the inbox from those specific senders and places them where you select instead of having to do it one by one or clicking beside each email. It makes cleaning an inbox more efficient and is a feature that has been around for a long time. It makes no sense that yahoo mail doesn't have this. Having to delete emails one at a…

  20. Photos View

    There used to be an images or photos folder on the side that showed you all the images in your emails all together in a collage of thumbnails.

    It was a critical search feature to my work.

    Now, I know I can click on the advanced search function and click the "photo pill" but that does not help at all.

    Sure, it sorts out the emails that contain photos, but it does not display the images unless you click into each individual email, so you have no way of locating the picture you are looking for quickly or easily. You…
