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
Reply/Forward Icons - You can see the arrow icons when you've replied or forwarded to a message.
Up/Down Arrow, Scrolls Now - In full message view, not preview pane.
Sender's Email Address - You don't have to open the email to see the sender's email address. Just hover over the sender's name from your Inbox. 
Search Results Will Show Folder - Now when you do a search, where the emails are located will show up.

TIPS:
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.

  1. Can 'select all' be made visible all the time?

    Hello, I saw in a couple posts that the 'select all' box becomes available once an email has been selected. Personally, I'd prefer it if the 'select all' box was always visible. It's honestly kind of annoying that I have to select an individual email in order to make the 'select all' box visible. Also, I recently realized this, but when I'm in a filter/folder other than 'all' I instinctively think the 'all' is the 'select all'.

  2. Pleaseeeeee go back to the old version. Thank you

    It's hard to handle and look for the new "look" of Yahoo main page. Why in the world would change the appearance of the Yahoo?. The old version is very easy to handle and understand. If there are not a button of get back to Yahoo old version, I'm going to look to close the account and open a new one in Google.

  5. Why can I no longer paste a screenshot in the body of an email --- bad for my business

    Why can I no longer paste a screenshot in the body of an email --- bad for my business.
    I often need to screenshot a portion of a document or a screenshot -- no longer have that capability in the new version.
    Please give back functionality we had in the Classic Version.
    Your attempt to streamline and give better functionality is obviously a FAILURE !

  6. We can no longer widen the column with the folders making it impossilbe to see the entire title of the folder

    We can no longer widen the column with the folders making it impossilbe to see the entire label of the folder if it has a longer label. Also, when changing the name of a folder, if you only want to add to the existing label you have to retype the whole thing. Very time consuming. In addition, when you are trying to move a folder you can no longer search by typing part of the name but have to scroll - if you have a ton of folders that is very time consuming.

    Please bring back the ability to widen…

  7. "Show Images In Messages" constantly resets to "Always"

    My idea is to have this setting stay where I put it instead of resetting all the time.

    If I select "Ask before showing external images" then it should stay that way.

  8. "..."

    Place the "..." menu above the "Folders". I have an extensive "Folder" list that I like to keep open; and when it is open, the "..." gets pushed below my screen. My main need for the "..." is for "Unread" items.

  9. Visual indicator when using up/down arrow keys to navigate "move to folder" while in dark mode

    When moving a message to a folder while in dark mode, there's no visual indicator when using the up/down arrow to pick the folder you want it to be moved to.

  11. Ad Blockers

    I keep getting an access denied screen when trying to use Yahoo Mail, saying that I'm using an Ad Blocker. No, I won't be disabling my ad blocker. Do I need to switch to a different email service?

  12. Show all my folders in left column, as before (I would happily search for my idea if you had somewhere to search)

    In the old mail I could see all my folders at once in the left column, and see my inbox contents. Now if I open the folder section, they cover the message list. I can only see one folder at a time. How can I use your "improvement" (see below) much less use my folders as I have them arranged?

  13. Using the 'block sender' and adding to the format when selecting multiple entries to block in SPAM folder

    I've noticed at times that when you open the SPAM folder and wish to select multiple entries to be discarded by the 'block sender' icon, this icon is NOT always available. This is hypercritical as you would need to individually 'block sender' for each SPAM missive if the top box is checked and you can't 'block sender' for all. Thanks!!

  14. Ad Blocker Punishment? Really?

    You really think punishing me with a timed blockout of my inbox for using an ad blocker is going to encourage me to turn it off? With how many ads I got lambasted with before I installed it? Ads that flashed and destroyed the inbox and individual e-mail layouts? Absolutely not. You've just given me one more reason to ignore my inbox, lol.

  15. New interface is difficult & overall inconvenient to use. Calendar no longer appears on inbox page. Please provide option to switch back.

    The new inbox user interface appeared this morning (2/5/2025). It is absolutely difficult to use. Unable to differentiate between read and unread emails, and my calendar, which used to appear on the right-hand side of the screen, is no longer visible with no option to pull it up. The only option is to open the calendar in a new tab, and showing the full month is distracting. (On the daily & weekly options, the tasks do not appear.) I use my Yahoo for my little home business and the new format is slowing down my daily process. Please give users…

    Fix your new spam filter! I've had 5 emails go to spam from addresses that are in my contact list. Why? And then you make the spam folder so hard to find. Why Why??

  18. I want it to default to having all my folders visible on the left side of the screen. It is irritating to always have to click on the Folder

    IN YOUR RESPONSE YOU DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE USER ASKED. WHY DO I HAVE TO CLICK ON THE FOLDER LIST EVERY TIME I LOG IN TO EXPAND IT? JUST MAKE THE CHOICE PERMANENT.

  19. attachment

    While composing an email on a desktop, it is impossible to remove an attachement after it has been added. Please fix this issue.

    There are no such problems in the app.

  20. Basic Mail Reading Pane

    Make basic mail have a reading pane. Then it would be perfect and I wouldn't care about how terrible the new version is.
