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.

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.

  1. Can not forward emails with attachments

    As in a few days ago I could not forward emails with attachments. I have to go to the old version to do so.
    Also, I do not know why now every attachment gets copied twice. If I send an email with 5 attachments when I go back to my email now it has 10 files.

    How often are you allowed to make changes? It is taking way too long for these things to get fixed.

  2. translation

    Please program a language translation feature for translating emails received in other languages. For example --- If I make a reservation for a hotel in Mexico and receive a message in Spanish, I would like to be able to have the program translate the message to English. At present, I have to forward the message to a Google account to make that possible.

  4. Feature request: always show each link's real destination URL

    Please display the actual destination of every link directly at the link (e.g. above or beside the link text), not only on hover or long-press, and visually flag the destination in red when the destination's host does not match the hostname named in the visible link text.

    Generic call-to-action text names no hostname, so there is simply nothing to mismatch there; the value is that the real destination is still shown in plain sight.

    This closes the link-text-mismatch gap that authenticated phishing exploits — e.g. the Jan 2026 SendGrid campaign, whose mail passed SPF/DKIM/DMARC yet pointed "Manage preferences" at a…

  5. New "look"

    Hi there...
    Well, U 've done it! Been a "loyal" Yahoo user (mail & groups & I was "owner" of some of them from day one when they were active) back from times that I can't even remember now as I was subscribed here far before the new millennium! I do remember the take over of it by Verizon and the announcement of it to all of us, the 'Yahoo users", so I should be here even before 1996! And all of those years i had the "chance" to work out with other "email platforms" but never liked them much…

  8. Am I deludedly optimistic?

    By some magical intervention, I seem to have been transported back to Yahoo mail. Not the basic one I wish to return to. Not the elegant, sophisticated, design classic. No, no. The one between that and the new cesspit of design both unfunctional and ugly. At least I've got one step back! I followed all the videos (and I've looked at hundreds) to return me from this state to the basic and none show me the way. Is there one? Am I deludedly optimistic?

  9. Go back to the Basic version.

    This new version of Yahoo! is a bloody nightmare. What possessed you guys to impose on users this stupid, confusing and ugly version of email? Were all of you taking some illegal stuff?

  12. I have to manually correct each email. Why?

    The new Yahoo mail (which looks ugly, lacks sophistication and is extremely cumbersome) only allows me to write Large font in emails by default. I have to manually correct each email. Why?

  13. Email chains

    Now that you are making us have all emails in a chain together in one email in the inbox, instead of separately in the inbox as they arrive, why on earth isn't the most recent email at the top of the chain??? It's nuts to have to scroll down to find the most recent email - and really easy to miss something. I literally cannot understand the logic behind this insane change to Yahoo Mail. Can you please put the most recent email at the top of the chain with older messages below? I believe the majority of people would…

    With new UI, am I supposed to know how the F that is writing to me buy looking at that stupid icon that you even show for spam emails only because there is amazon.com in the email address? or by looking at the dumb name like gustav without knowing who the F is he or which one or from which domain, just because he saved his name in bracket as gustave <dipshit@yahoo.com>?

  19. Horrific filing system with new layout

    I have just nearly missed an important work email because I didn't realise all new emails would be filed beneath older emails that I'd already read, instead of appearing separately in my inbox as they used to - I am absolutely furious that you have made this change. It is now so easy to miss new emails coming in, what on earth were you thinking with this appalling design feature? I no longer have any trust in my own email account. Thanks a lot Yahoo.

  20. I want the javascript less UI back

    I have been using yahoo mail only because It was light and didn't rely on Javascript to run. now you turned to a **** that is worse than even hotmail. If I want to use a fancy looking mailbox that downloads 50meg just to show me my 1KB email, then I just move to gmail or hotmail, why would I use yahoo that when I send email recipient immediately screams oh look a boomer!
