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. bring back some lost functionality please!

    Please bring back:
    1. Create Filter from this message/sender shortcut.
    2. Search no longer lets me choose which folder to search, it searches every folder by default.
    3. "Delete all emails" deletes from all folders, not just the folder selected. I don't want to delete every email from that sender, just those in the Inbox.
    No option on your account to return to the prior Yahoo Mail interface. Yahoo confirms that some accounts no longer have the rollback option.

  2. I no longer can "search" for a keyword.

    I no longer can "search" for a keyword. The only field available is "subject". This field was especially helpful when I can't remember the subject line. Please fix.

  3. Printing is broken in Microsoft Edge with the new Yahoo Mail version on desktop

    Printing is broken in Microsoft Edge with the new Yahoo Mail version on desktop. Text does NOT WRAP properly beyond the end of the line when scaling the print size beyond 100%. The site seems fix line breaks at 100% scaling keeps it there even when we scale beyond. This did not occur with the previous version of Yahoo Mail

  4. stop going to the top of the list

    ok removing the pages really messed up my workflow .. this being said I know I have it set to go back to the inbox after I move a message.. but can we at least make it not swing all the way to the top? like if im on message 152 and I delete it go back to the main list but keep it down where I was working like 152 not all the way to the top because now I have to scroll all the way back down this giant list to where I was. Really I just want…

  5. Yahoo Help

    I am very unhappy with the new Yahoo Mail interface. Several essential features that I relied on daily have been removed, including compact spacing, message layout options, the reading pane, and the classic settings panel. The new version feels stripped down, less customizable, and harder to navigate.

    The inbox is more cluttered, the spacing options are limited, and the removal of the traditional layout controls has made the interface significantly less efficient. The previous version allowed me to organize and view my email in a way that worked for me. This new version does not.

    Please restore the classic customization…

  6. Enable keyboard arrow scrolling within emails

    At the moment, attempting to scroll using laptop keyboard arrows only scrolls between messages. It's impossible to scroll within messages even when clicking within the email text, which works in other email programs. This is very frustrating.

  7. fix the payment problem for extra storage on accounts outside the United States

    I am in Australia. I have received multiple emails telling me I can increase storage to 100GB for A$3.49. Until then my account is frozen. But when I try to pay A$3.49, the link defaults to US dollars and says it is not available in my region. This is ridiculous. Please fix it.

  8. Can you make the Unsubscribe bubble proportionate to the new Inbox spacing?

    The Unsubscribe bubble that pops up over the message title is the same size in both the Medium and Large choices of Inbox spacing. This blocks almost all of the title, leaving little room to navigate with the cursor. I'm constantly clicking to open an email message when the bubble pops up, and I'm clicking that instead. I've tried resizing my browser, but that doesn't help this kind of thing. I either need a magnifying glass to read things, or one email is taking up my entire screen, and then pop-ups block it all. Please, please fix this!

  10. Where's my Xfinity inbox?

    I've migrated my xfinity email and it works fine on my phone app. However, on desktop, it's not connected. When looking to add an inbox, it only gives me options for Gmail, Outlook, and AOL. How can I access my Xfinity inbox on desktop?

  11. mail storage problem

    Subject: Urgent: Systemic Yahoo Mail Storage Glitch Affecting Thousands of Users

    Dear Mr. Lanzone,

    I am writing to bring to your attention a significant and ongoing technical failure with Yahoo Mail that is affecting thousands of users worldwide, including myself.

    The Issue:

    Since 12 August 2026, I have been unable to send or receive emails through my Yahoo Mail account. My "Manage Storage" page shows my mailbox is 100% full. However, I have permanently deleted over 6.8 GB of emails and emptied both my Trash and Spam folders. Despite this, the storage meter remains stuck at "0% available" and continues…

  12. Contact Photos...

    Edit contacts > Upload photos. I've always enjoyed seeing a photo for each of my Yahoo! Mail contacts but since upgrading to Windows 11 OS, they never "stick" / clicking Save doesn't mean anything. I wish I had an idea to improve this flaw but I'm merely a user.

  14. Single click view, and swipe left to delete

    Don’t know why you have made it more difficult to carry out basic navigation tasks. Previously on Safari (iPad) I could click once to view an email. Now, I need to click twice. How on earth is that an improvement? Similarly to delete a message I used to be able to simply swipe left. Now I need to click the message, then click somewhere else to delete it. Again a step backwards. Please stop trying to make things more time consuming and onerous.

  15. eliminate offer pop-ups

    I pay for mail+ so as to have have ads and pop-ups -- it is very frustrating to have an offer pop-up at the top of my messages every time I go to inbox. I personally do not believe there should be an offers category of emails, yet even so, pop-ups are frustrating and time consuming. Please advise when you will delete these distracting pop-ups (and certainly let me know if you are keeping pop-ups, so I can discontinue and get different email service)

  16. Yahoo Life Assistant

    Dear Yahoo Team,

    I have been a loyal Yahoo user for more than 20 years. Through all the changes in the internet landscape, I've continued using Yahoo because it was one of the pioneers that shaped the web experience for millions of people.

    I'm genuinely happy to see Yahoo investing in its products again. As a long-time fan, I'd like to share one suggestion.

    Instead of focusing primarily on rebuilding Yahoo Mail to compete with mature email platforms, I believe Yahoo has an opportunity to create something that people use every day because it solves real-life problems.

    Today's most successful…

  17. the checkbox for selecting email needs to be bigger

    because the checkbox is too small, it's easy to accidentally open the email instead and makes selecting emails for deletion much less efficient ... or consider making the pop up delete icon that appear when you move the mouse over the subject line permanent, otherwise, after deleting one email, that icon doesn't appear unless you move the mouse a little bit again to make the delete icon appear, very inefficient when managing lots of emails ....

  18. automatic category learning from user actions

    I want mail to learn from my actions to provide a better experience going forward - either automatically (based on actions) or with help from manual teaching. If I drag and email from "primary" to "newsletters" - I would like an option to either learn this category is where future emails of this type should land, or a confirmation that asks - would you like future emails from this sender/with this subject to appear in this category. Thanks.

  19. Out of Office response

    Hi, the out of office response does not seem to allow selecting dates for a single day. Example if I am out of the office for 21st Aug 2026, the end date can't be set to 21st Aug, instead it sets at 22nd Aug and send the out of office message to emails received on the 22nd.

    Please fix this, thank you.

  20. 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.
