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.

WHAT'S NEW?
Search by Sender - Just hover over the sender's profile image and a spyglass icon will appear where you can search all emails by that sender.
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.

    Hi Yahoo mail team,
    I’m requesting the multi-tab feature for Yahoo mail for browser.

    Please restore and bring back the multi-tab feature to Yahoo Mail for browsers.
    It is a vital tool for productivity, and bringing it back would significantly enhance the user experience.
    Thank you for your help.

  3. Notification Prompt Irritant

    Stop the "notification" popup! It appears several times a day when I'm checking mail. Checking "Maybe Later" doesn't cut it. I already get a notification on my phone, I DO NOT NEED A DESKTOP EMAIL NOTIFICATION!!! What an annoyance!

  5. Filtering is fine, but by default, I want to see All, not Priority

    Filtering is fine, but by default, I want to see All, not Priority. How do I fix this? If I want priority, I can click on it later. I've missed important emails that your 'AI' nonsense put in another category.

  7. Mail settings

    I have a lot of folders and have to scroll down below them to find the MORE link to get to email settings. Since I use it rarely, I forget where it is and have to search all over the screen looking for it. Move MORE to the top of the screen as one of the links already there like y!mail+, HOME, or account avatar.

    Hi Richard, thanks for the feedback! We currently have no plans in moving Settings or More to a different location. These options were placed near the bottom because they were hardly if ever used in the old version. Sorry about that!

    The best way to get rid of spam is to mark as spam, not delete or block! This helps with your spam filters and does exactly what blocking does, prevents that email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam! It is free and part of regular Yahoo Mail. Thanks!

    Hi there, thanks for the feedback. This is mentioned in our email communication to you and in the help articles, but after deleting emails you still need to empty out your Trash folder. Once you do that, and even your Spam folder, your storage number percentage will decrease. Thanks!

  13. Add a button

    I would like to see a button added that would lock in an email on my email home page so that I could keep it with my recent emails in plain sight and avoid deleting it by mistake. This is different than putting that email in a specific folder. Sometimes, I would just to see an important email in plain sight every time I open up my email page.

  16. Change shortcut keys for delete

    I really like using shortcut keys in yahoo mail but it's not perfect. My biggest issue is the use of backspace to delete mail. I often accidentally delete mail while I am typing because of this.

  17. Ads are atrocious

    There are ads within my email list, on the side of the page, on top. It's awful. I have moved on to Gmail and iCloud.

    Yes we do have ads today on our platform. We know not everyone will enjoy the ads, so we do offer an ad-free experience (like many apps today) if you upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus, but of course it's not mandatory. Thanks!

    You can delete all from your Inbox. Just click on a checkbox and a new checkbox will appear at the top. From there you can Select All and then Delete All. At first it might seem like you can do a few at a time, but a floating message will pop up in the middle asking if you'd like to delete all the messages. It can be done! Thanks!

  19. Let us read our emails

    Wow, this is horrible. All I can see if adverts moving everywhere I actually got motion sickness trying to read my emails. I could only read one line at a time as your screen is filled with so much rubbish. The flickering motion of the adverts will give me an epileptic seizure.

    Hi there, thank you for your feedback. Are you referring to the ads on our Desktop? We only have a pencil ad at the top of your Inbox, another one as you scroll down and then the two ads in the right hand column. Are you seeing more? If so, where? You shouldn't see any while you read your email, only the ads that stay put in the right hand column. Thanks!

  20. High Importance

    There needs to be an option to send an email as High Importance. This feature is very helpful when sending an email or a response to someone's email so they see its urgent.

    Thanks

    Hi Laura, thanks for your feedback. We are working on adding a way for you to say a certain email or sender is Priority, so stay tuned. For now, you can move an email to a certain category. For example, if an impt email goes to the "offers" category, you can move it to "Primary."
