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!



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.




Thank you! 💜

  1. After replying New Mail takes you to the top of your Inbox

    Another issue with New Mail vs Classic Yahoo Mail.....
    You reply to an email from a few weeks ago, and after you click "send", you are taken back to the top of your Inbox rather than right where that email was at from a few weeks ago.
    You then have to scroll, scroll, scroll, to get back down to find that email you replied to in order to move it to a folder, delete it, or something else.
    With Classic Yahoo Mail - it takes you right back to that email and date-range, after you reply and hit 'send'.

  2. I can't see my folders anymore

    I would like to be able to see all the folders without having to navigate. I used to be able to scroll down through all the available folders

  3. Why can't I open email attachments on the mobile app after updating to the new version of Yahoo Mail?

    After updating to the latest version of the Yahoo Mail app on my iPhone, I can no longer open email attachments. It displays a notification saying: "UNABLE TO PREVIEW, UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD THIS ATTACHMENT, PLEASE TRY AGAIN." I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app, as well as logging out and logging back in numerous times; however, it only works briefly—showing the old interface and allowing me to open files—before switching to the new interface, at which point I can no longer open attachments.

  5. Restore the large-smaller option when adding a picture (not an attachment)

    Just RESTORE the picture option of larger - smaller...it worked just fine!!!
    The present format is regressive stupidity and takes us back to stupid times!
    I am not talking about the attachment pictures. Thank you.

  6. It has way too many clicks to do the same thing the old system did in one click

    How do I get back to the old system. This new one is very hard to use with lots more clicks to get where I want to go

  8. stuck tooltips

    Hi the Mail Plus web client has but where pop-up tooltips do not disappear and remain "stuck" on the screen.
    When I mouse over folders in the left column, sometimes the tooltip doesn't disappear so I have leftover tips on my screen.

    I captured a screenshot showing the stuck tooltips:

  10. put search on the right AFTER reading the thing to search for

    The /n ( https://mail.yahoo.com/n ) new Yahoo email presentation on 2026-08-27 shows email sender with the serch on the left, this is counter intuitive, we read left-to-right, so I will read the sender's name first, then, moving to the right, I expect to control what I just read and comprehended. To go back to the left to find and click the search is backwards, literally, and the mouse then obscrurs the name of the person I might be looking to search for, so I have to move the mouse away, conrirm I'm on the right line, then move the mouse…

  11. scaling to fit

    Hello. Sadly, I do not like the new layout, primarily because it doesn't fit my 17" HP laptop screen anymore. I don't know if scaling is adjustable, but the header on the inbox is so tall, I cannot see enough mails in the list at once, NOR can I read more than a single line of an open mail without trying to scroll down to see it -- and the scroll on this machine is too fast to be that precise. I don't have the time or knowledge to change any of this. PLEASE let me "go back"!
    Thank you…

  12. Allow for Bulk Deletion of Old Unread Emails

    Please allow for bulk deleting. If I search for all unread messages older than 1/1/2020, for instance, I will get over 59,000 messages!! If I then select all of those messages and try to delete them your system will not delete them. This is nuts!! Why can't you make this happen?

  14. Need to turn off the Big Round Dots with Bright Colors due to sensory overload

    Next to each small blue dot is a Big Round Colorful Dot before each sender's name, and I don't think these BIG dots can be turned off. Their BIG size and bright color make it very difficult to look at for people like me who are prone to sensory overload. They make me feel dizzy almost immediately and hard to concentrate, and as a result, I become irritable, anxious and unable to concentrate. This is a medical condition in both adults and young adults.
    With the small blue dots marking individual e-mails, there's no need to have the overwhelmingly Big…

  15. More options

    If you want to force a new layout on people at least give them the ability to change fonts. I hate this new look - I find it hard to read. Thanks for nothing.

  17. Can not restore accidentally deleted Email

    I am writing to express my extreme frustration with a severe design flaw in Yahoo Mail.I accidentally deleted a draft, and your system completely wiped out my entire associated email chain. To make matters worse, the email trail is completely missing from my Trash, Spam, and Sent folders. It has vanished entirely. Because of this terrible workflow glitch, I had to completely redo all of my work from scratch.Furthermore, your "Restore Email" functionality is completely dysfunctional and failed to recover anything.Yahoo needs to step out of the Windows XP era and start operating like a modern, robust platform. There is…

  19. Potential Searching Issue

    I was looking for an email by searching for the Subject's name. The email contained a subject that container "Flow". I searched for "Flow" and "flow" but it did not show. I had to instead guess the content of the body in order to find the email.

  20. Disable or MOVE delete confirmation

    When configured to auto advance to next unread mail in list layout, the delete confirmation covers the toolbar, forcing the user to dismiss it before being able to delete the now current email. This is excruciatingly painful when trying to power through a bunch of mail.
