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.

*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. Add an option to turn off AI summaries.

    It might be useful for people with robust business-style accounts, but most of my messages are already short, or they're notifications. It makes the "summaries" redundant and obnoxious.

  2. See Number of Unread Emails

    I have no overview of how many emails are in my Inbox. Very annoying. Please show that again.

  3. Reply/Forward Arrows to emails do not show in the Inbox

    In the old version, if I replied to an email my reply would show up as the message preview.

    It no longer does that, so at a glance I cannot see if I replied to an email or not until I open it

    Please fix

  4. Can no longer forward an email and make edits without losing links in body of email

    The new version does not allow me to forward an email and make edits. I can only copy/paste, which loses the links. The old version allowed for forwarding with links remaining and the ability to edit (like filling in data needing to be forwarded). Can this functionality be returned please?

  5. ABILITY TO MOVE SENT EMAILS TO INBOX

    Please let people be able to move items from their sent folder to their inbox! Used to be able to (while on a laptop; never was able to in the app). I just had to send a sent email to myself, so that I was able to have it in my inbox while waiting for a reply. That's ludicrous!

  6. Use up and down arrow keys for scrolling

    While I like the new UI, its very annoying aspect is that up and down keyboard keys have been hijacked for "previous" and "next" message navigation. Those keys are normally used for scrolling long messages everywhere else. Without a mouse wheel, the only alternatives are crude PageUp/PageDown or trying to tap the narrow scrollbar.

    Please assign some different keys for message navigation, such as Ctrl+Up/Down.

  7. Search results list should show folder

    In the old version, when you searched for a phrase or sender, and a results list was displayed, one of the columns in the results list was "folder", so you could see if the listed email was in "Inbox" or one of your other folders. I found that very helpful. It's no longer there. Once again, good functionality lost or forgotten for no apparent reason.

  8. Option to view the assigned folder for a message when searching

    When I'm searching through all the messages in my email (usually trying to sort and filter certain messages to place them in their appropriate folders), I desperately miss having the current assigned folder show on the quick view. It is a really quick way of knowing whether or not all of the messages were moved to the requested folder and also if I inadvertently put a message in the wrong folder.

  9. Display folders on the side bar

    I would prefer if the folders section was always visible on the left sidebar. Currently, having to click "Folders" and then select a specific folder adds unnecessary steps to the workflow. Ideally, the folders should be displayed by default for quick access.

  11. Bug: Firefox Does Not Paste URL's at Insertion Point but Puts Link at the Top of the Page

    When composing the body of a message in the New Yahoo Mail in Firefox, (and only in Firefox) URL links do not appear where the insertion point is when pasted into the body of a message. Instead, the link goes to the top of the page.

  14. Autosave glitch in Drafts

    While working on a draft from the Drafts folder, about once per minute I get bounced to the next draft in the list in mid-typing.
    I believe this might be triggered by autosave, as it doesn't seem to occur when I haven't made any changes.

  15. Bug: Page elements can appear cut off

    Sometimes I will open an e-mail in the new yahoo mail for desktop and the page elements will adjust incorrectly. The entire message pane goes upward and the compose button almost disappears. I took a screenshot https://i.imgur.com/yWpjiCx.png

  16. Number of TOTAL emails - Not Just Unread

    I would like to be able to see the number of total items in my inbox without having to hover or take an extra step. I know you can see the number of unread items by hovering but I would like to know the total number of items read and unread without having to hover.

  17. In new yahoo mail, inserting an emoji into a message being composed causes the rest of the message to vanish, leaving only the emoji. WTF?

  18. Renaming Folders

    When trying to rename a folder, it greys out the existing name and if you just want to add to the existing name you have to retype the entire thing. For example, if the original name is 2025-03-18 and you want to change it to 2025-03-18 $1485.00 you can't just add $1485.00 at the end - you have to retype what it was called first. Very time consuming.

    It is also cumbersome to have to hit the update button once finished typing the name change.

  20. Calendar in the right panel

    In the new version you have starred and contacts on the right side to easily see this information without leaving mail. It would be nice to have calendar there as well to see and make small changes/additions without leaving your email to go to the calendar website. The old version was like this.
