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?
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!
Resize Images - Resize an image within the message.
Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.

TIPS:
Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.
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.
Drag and drop messages to folders - Just click and hold on an email message, then drag and drop that message into a different folder. 
Dark Mode - Go to Settings > Appearance.

  1. PUT TABS BACK FOR OPEN MAIL -it's a product differentiator

    The BEST element of Yahoo mail is that the open mails are in tabs across the top. This is what has kept me from going to gmail. It made yahoomail stand apart -did you have gmail (or a consultant/team lead that used to work for google) design the change??

  4. Compact view, read/unread toggle icon, search icon

    Previously, sapcing between messages was compact that allowed more emails to be seen on one screen. This has disappeared. Read/unread toggle icon was available on the left of each message which was useful. Search icon was available on the left of each message that allowed to search all messages from that sender in one click. These features should be reinstated.

  7. Move Row of Symbols (Delete, Move to another folder) in Inbox main menu

    The row of symbols that the delete button and the move to another folder are on, is covered by the search bar when one is on the main inbox page. If I have multiple emails ticked for deleting it is hard to access the delete symbol because most of the symbol is covered by the search bar. This is annoying because it takes extra time to find and delete a large number of items all at once. Can this bar of symbols (delete, move to another folder) be moved away from the search bar when in the main inbox menu…

  8. finding emails from a sender

    Make finding emails from a sender easy instead of typing on the search box -- right-clicking on the message should be the default. And bring back as an option the old feature to group/sort emails according to receipt date (Today, Yesterday, Last Week, etc.) This is helpful in organizing emails, at least for me.

  11. Spam messages multiple times per day.

    You need to prohibit any email starting with symbols, etc. which are all spam. This happens multiple time per day. It does not happen on other email sites so it is definitely a problem with what Yahoo allows. I am sure others are receiving the same ****. These spammers use symbols and key strokes like ++ -- @@ etc.

  14. inbox background color

    The grayed-out area in the inbox that denotes emails that have been read is very difficult to read for someone with contrast vision issues. I much prefer unread email in bold and read-emails not in bold - on a white background.

  16. where is the move to inbox folder

    Do not like the new August 2025 look of yahoomail--it's a regression. The old was easier to differentiate the various sections--folders, emails from each other. Old layout, design easier on the eyes. The updated 8/2025 layout is one big blank page which is harder to differentiate the list of emails from opened email from folders, etc. Where is the "Move to the Inbox" feature? Thank you.

  17. Moving emails

    The new format is no good. Difficult to move emails to the folders and don't like emails being highlighted dark. Overall a failure. Also too many ads.

  18. Top three lines are scrunched & overlaid

    Please fix the top of the screen--the top 3 lines are scrunched and overlaying each other. And the double scroll lines do not always allow me to go to the bottom of the screen to attach a file or hit send. Please fix that also.

  19. EMPTY DELETED ITEMS/TRASH

    I am trying to delete all my old emails (before 2019). It is manual and it takes forever. I just noticed after I delete them they go into the Trash Folder. I can't empty it and I don't want to have to manually delete them too. Can I get help at least deleting the trash folder?
