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?
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.


COMING SOON!
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.
AI Summaries - Ability to disable this under Settings.
Right Hand Column - Ability to minimize: Contacts, Starred, More (Currently Yahoo Mail Plus subscribers)


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

  3. Ads look like unread messages

    Ads look exactly the same as unread email! Makes it impossible to differentiate between an ad and an important message. VERY annoying, please fix!!

  4. allow more than 3 blocked domains

    allow more than 3 blocked domains
    Should allow blocking of an unlimited number of domains and/or senders instead of limiting to 3/1000.

  6. Make your ads lines in email a different color so I don't click on them trying to multi-select

    Ads in the email message list constantly get in my way when I try to click multiple emails to select them. Then I have to start over. Yeah, I know you're trying to get me to click those, but it is a horrible UX and you need to make it easier to differentiate ads.

  8. spam

    Please put the spam folder back where it is visible. It's annoying having to go all the way to the "..." at the bottom.

  9. Un-collapsing folders permanently

    I would like the folders to stay un-collapsed when I click on the arrow. I don't like having to un-collapse them every time I open my account. It's annoying.
    Thanks for listening.

  11. block sender

    I click on block sender, check the boxes for block all future emails and delete all existing emails, then hit block and NOTHING HAPPENS. I understand marking as spam keeps it out of my inbox but I want it out of my spam as well. I do not want to even receive it anywhere. When ya can't find an email, we are always told to check spam. I do not want to have to go through the hundreds of messages in spam looking for something I need. I should be able to block and keep them out allowing me to…

  14. In the now Classical version, Spam and Trash have the Empty icon even if they're empty!

    In the previous GUI, at least in the Android app, Spam and Trash didn't display the icon to empty those folders UNLESS they contained at least an email. If they were displayed, this was a sign that there something to be purged, and I was prompted to check for false positives in SPAM.

    Now in the Classic GUI, those purge buttons are ALWAYS displayed, inducing the idea there is something to be purged, but when clicking on both folders, they were actually empty!

  16. Support for more than 25MB of Email

    Like normally email attachment limit is 25MB but in gmail you can have actually attachments larger than 25MB without even having to open Google drive. Kindly add that support.

  18. email address

    Need to be able to see the email address without hovering. This is an unnecessary extra step and it adds extra time when people need to make sure the address is legitimate. It also makes it more likely that people will get scammed. Keep it simple, please.

  20. Delete and entire day email

    Previously, we had a box to click if we wanted to click on every email for the entire day. Then it was so easy to unclick any emails that you wanted to read. After that you could hit Delete and everything you didn't want was deleted.
    Now it takes Much Longer to Delete the unwanted emails. The old way was so much Easier! Hopefully you restore that function!
