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.

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.

Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.

  1. Go back to the old calendar options. New-cannot print ALL detail/appointment. You've copied the Google format

    Go back to the old calendar options/format. New format you cannot PRINT ALL detail/appointment, addresses if needed, phone numbers when needed...... You've copied the Google format which is terrible. Again this pertains to viewing and printing from my desktop. I hope a real live person is reviewing this and not AI.
    Thanks for replying. Please take this suggestion seriously.

  2. Keep inbox in the same place it was when you opened a search window

    When you close a search window, please bring the user back to wherever in their inbox they initiated the search, rather than the top of their inbox. It is very frustrating when you are, for example, 100 messages into your inbox, click search, then close the search window and end up at the top of your inbox and you have to scroll back to where you want to be. The previous version of Yahoo brought you back to where you were in your inbox when you initiated the search, not to the top of your inbox.

  3. Make it easier to select emails in list (clickable checkbox too small)

    In my Yahoo Mail Plus inbox I frequently select several email to delete them or mark them as spam. However the box to select an email is rather small, so I frequently will go into the email detail screen. And when I go back all selections are gone, which is annoying, especially since it happens with alarming regularity.

    Example: In my inbox email list I have already 10 emails selected and on the 11th email my mouse click slightly misses the checkbox, so the screen navigates to the email detail screen of that 11th email. When I go back to…

  5. Make email addresses visible when hovering over the name in the "TO" section

    The New Mail does not allow me to see the actual email addresses of people I'm writing to. Annoying, since some people have several and if I want to see an email address now I have to go to contacts.

    Please make starred view optional as a default. The starred box prevents long subject lines and text (which I use a lot) from appearing. I would like to select starred if I want, but I don't use that filter very often.

  10. Offer support - filters are not working

    There is not place I see where I can request support or help. I am trying to filter my email be sender, and I choose that option, but my email doesn't respond. It still filters by date.

  12. Various topics

    I'm using Yahoo Web Mail Plus (trial version) and would like to make a few observations.
    1) The first column in the web interface (the one with the folder list) could be wider. Ideally, you could change its width by dragging its right edge.
    2) Some options are difficult to find (see "Settings").
    3) The account selection was better in the previous version.
    4) The toolbar that appears when selecting a message could be wider and should also display the print function. Ideally, the toolbar could be modified by dragging the function icons.
    5) When moving messages, automatically focus the…

  14. Largen the capacity of each email attacment

    you can connect the email with some kind of drive so we can upload larger attachment to the email, I think this is a big issue that the capacity of the email attachment is limited, this does not allow us to send big files and this is very needed somthing.

  20. Implementazione della nuova schermata

    Con il nuovo aggiornamento, in caso di riduzione della finestra (affiancamento, riduzione) sparisce il pulsante (in alto a destra) del proprio profilo non potendo essere accessibile finchè non la si ripristina a dimensioni "minime" o a pieno schermo. Risulta importante poter accedere al proprio profilo in qualunque momento. Si prega di voler migliorare la possibilità di passare ad altro account yahoo, un pò come era possibile precedentemente, con un semplice menu a tendina che compare al passaggio del cursore. Semplificare la procedura! Non è possibile che un aggiornamento porti dei peggioramenti. Attualmente, per cambiare account bisogna: 1. essere sicuri che…
