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.

Unfortunately, you cannot revert back. We are only making the new one better. We know change is frustrating and hard but we really hope you'll give the new layout a fair chance.



WHAT'S NEW:
Calendar - We moved it from under "More" on the right hand side to it's own icon. Still on the right hand side, but it's now the first icon next to Starred and Contacts.

Photos View - We added it to the sorting drop down in the top, right hand side of your Inbox. Click on that icon, and you'll see "More Filters" at the bottom, from there you can filter by Attachments and Photos in emails.

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
Unread Count - You can hover over "Inbox" to see the Unread count or you can expand the left hand column and Unread will be in the column below Inbox with the unread count. No hovering.



COMING SOON!
Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon!

Unsubscribe Button in Subject Line - We are moving it out of the way!



**Please do NOT post about Account, Password, Login issues here. It will be deleted. Please go to help.yahoo.com.




Thank you! 💜

  1. Some way to search for emails just within the Inbox, and still having the option to search all emails.

    The old Yahoo email had the option to search just withing the Inbox through the option to select the folder to search in advanced options. I do not see folders in the advanced search options any more. I was told that a search can be limited to a particular folder by clicking into that folder first. This does not work with the Inbox. However, I would still like the ability to search all the Inbox and all folders as well.

  2. Can't change email address in reply emails

    I just had an email that I was replying to, and I wanted to change my outgoing email account, but I could find no way to do this. I had to copy the email text, open a new outgoing email, and then change the email. It seems like an easy fix if you could add a way to change the outgoing email address in the reply area.

  4. What happened to the option to move photos from the email to the bottom?

    I need to move photos that are embedded in an email I am composing, to the bottom. I used to be able to hover over it and pick "move to bottom". Please return this ASAP!!!

  6. I have a 30" monitor, and have to scroll the email side to side

    Please, at least make it wide enough so I don't have to scroll side to side to see an email.
    This is annoying enough, if not fixed I'll base everything in gmail ... I don't mind new things, so long as they are improvements. This is not that.
    All you'd have to do is make the menu on the left collapse/uncollapseable so we can see one or the other in full.

  7. Sort By Sender in Spam Folder

    You have taken away my ability to sort my Spam folder by title or sender. And I am not using the "Categories" feature at all! Now it is extremely difficult to wade through the massive amounts of Spam to find that one message that should not be in there! You are NOT improving your interface or ease of use.

  8. Filters

    Please change the filter option back to the way it was before the new yahoo mail update. Before we could choose to filter in the menu bar. Now we have to enter the sender name, enter the sender email, etc. It is so cumbersome & time consuming, I am considering switching to a new email service b/c this is no longer conveniet to use. Please consider changing back to the way it was before.

  9. Moving email from inbox to folders

    Using Brave on MacOS Sequoia 15.7 (if it matters). Please bring back the keyboard shortcuts to move email from inbox (or current folder) to folder. Shift+d ("D") should bring up the folder list with the cursor in the the search bar. "d" should bring up the folder list with the number of the folder, e.g., d then 2 for the second folder in list.

    Without this feature, I'm going back to classic.

  10. Make Filters or Rules an easy option from the INBOX

    When I open an email from my INBOX, how can I create a "rule" to send all future mails from that sender into a specific folder? Going to the "filter" option isn't intuitive....I'd like to have an easy way to create a rule/filter from directly inside an email, or maybe when an email is selected from the INBOX. Thanks.

  11. Allow user to tighten vertical spacing between entries

    The new mailbox display looks too much like Gmail and includes one element that made me prefer Yahoo: I could previously see many more of my incoming emails listed on the opening display for each mailbox. It would be nice to be able to see more emails listed on a single screen WITHOUT just making the type smaller. The old version displayed at least a third more entries, which was useful to a person like me who gets at least 75 new emails many days.

  12. stop thinking you're creative and provide functionality

    again you have proven you can make your email product worse with the new layout.
    do any of you admit in public you work for yahoo? do you see successful companies implement anything you do?
    start listening to dummies like me who regrettably still pay for this service.
    try and redeem yourself

  13. Allow me to use a filter to send messages to the last of my folders

    I just tried adding a filter to send certain messages to the last of my folders. I couldn't do it because the drop-down menu of my filters was cut off at the bottom by the bottom of the screen.
    ETA: I received a message that triggered the filter. It put a copy of the message in the folder I specified but also left it in Inbox.

  15. What happened to automatically categorized emails?

    I'm trying to understand what you changed, but with a recent update, now every email that I receive hits my "Primary" in box rather than auto-sorting to social, newsletter, etc. PLEASE, how do I get them to revert to the way it was? Thanks.

  16. Printing bug in New Yahoo Mail – Windows system print dialog does not work Αντιγραφή

    The new Yahoo Mail interface has a printing bug that prevents users from printing emails through the Windows system print dialog.

    Steps to reproduce:

    Open an email in New Yahoo Mail.

    Select Print from the email menu.

    Chrome opens its built-in print preview, which works correctly.

    Select "Print using system dialog" (Ctrl+Shift+P).

    The temporary email print window disappears, and the Yahoo Mail inbox reappears in the background.

    Select a page and click Print.

    Result: Nothing happens. The document is not printed, and no error message appears.

    The same issue occurs when selecting Microsoft Print to PDF instead of the physical…

  18. fix this bug

    Looking at a big inbox... you want to quickly select a bunch of messages (easy) and mark them all read (also easy), but then, you want to move on, and select a bunch more. In the old UI, after marking messages as read, they were deselected, so it was easy to move on to the next set. Now, the messages remain selected, so to not consider them again, you have to either unmark them all (a PITA), or select all, and deselect all using the 'all' marker at the top of the column (also a PITA). IMHO, this is a…

  19. Make paper clip clickable

    The paper clip Icon in the email was clickable on the top of the emails. Clicking it took us to the attachment. THis feature is not there. If there are chain emails, we need to scroll all the way down to get to the attachment.
    Think about bringing that back, you dont want to lose something unique

    It was the one of the best things in Yahoo mail.

  20. Long List of Searches but Can't Delete

    Please make it easy to delete old mail searches. There is no X when I highlight them or right-click so I have a list of about 20 and the most recent are way off to the right side. USELESS.
