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.

*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?
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.



COMING SOON!
Differentiate Unread v. Read - Better ways to see the difference.
Resize Images - Resize an image within the message.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.
Right Hand Column - Ability to minimize: Contacts, Starred, More (Currently for Yahoo Mail Plus subscribers)

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.

  2. Emails are all in my trash folder

    All of my emails since last June are winding up in my trash folder without me putting them there. This is very concerning to me.

    Hi Joan, thank you for letting us know!! If all your emails are going to the Trash folder, this might be an indication that your account was compromised. We recommend changing your password immediately and then checking your Filters under your Desktop Settings. If you continue to have issues, please contact our CC team at help.yahoo.com. They have the tools to help with account issues. Thanks!

  3. Inbox issues

    New Inbox design does not show # of unread email as it does for folders like older version. Inbox unread/read coloring is NOT easy to notice.

    Moving emails between folders or back is not as smooth as older version. Have to attempt 3 or 4 times & multiple ways before it works.

    Prefer older version but NO WAY to go back to it now.

  7. Default e-mail classification to be ALL

    Provide a configurable option, so I can select ALL emails to be seen upon entering the email and onwards. Current set of of PRIORITY causing me high overhead to constantly switch from PRIORITY to ALL, and I do not read AI heading (AI is very poor quality anyway) .

  8. Need a way to move messages to "Primary" inbox in new Yahoo Mail

    Why can I not set up messages to go to my Primary inbox instead of one of the others that I did not even get to set up? Messages from people and organizations I follow end up in one of the other useless categories. In this day, you should be able to set it up to have them go to the category you want. Google does it, geez, even Hotmail does it. Please work on giving us a way to do this.

    Hi Chip, currently you cannot set up emails to go to a particular category, but you can move emails to other categories. Just click on the "Move" icon and from there you can choose another category or even a folder.


    You can also disable Inbox Categories under your Settings and go back to having just one Inbox. Hope this helps!

  9. Stop hiding my folders. Stop making accessing my folders a hassle.

    Leave my folders alone. I make them because I want mail sorted specifically, but when you keep rolling them up into a Folder icon, not allowing me to keep them expanded - it hides the important mail that went to designated folders.

    I don't want to have to go to youtube to watch a 10 minute video of somebody with a harsh accent tell me some workaround. I want you guys to quit sabatoging our customization options.

  11. bring back scrolling through an incoming email using the up and down arrows

    Scrolling up and down using up and down arrows inside an incoming email in my mailbox is no longer available, please bring this feature back, it worked fine in the old email. I can only scroll through an incoming email by using the bar on the far right of an email. I cannot find any settings in the new Yahoo email to fix this. Is there a solution to this?
    Thanks,

  12. Delete all email in non-priority tabs

    My email is telling me I'm over the storage limit but you don't give me an easy way to delete all emails in my socials, offers and newsletters tabs. I just want to be able to delete everything in these tabs and right now I can only do that 100 at a time. I have had my yahoo mail account for many years so deleting them 100 at a time will take forever. This feels like a ploy to force me to upgrade to paid storage for a bunch of email I don't want or need. How about an AI…

  13. Sort

    Yahoo email needs the capability to present the Inbox (or any folder) sorted alphabetically by 'From' - it used to be there. Also woud be good to display multiple columns: Date/ Time, From, Subject, Size. It used to be therel also.

  19. wider inbox pane

    Would like to option to default to "All" instead of "Priority". Seems like new mail keeps changing back to "Priority". Also, for people with wide monitors (21:9), I would like to increase the width of the inbox list to be close to 50/50 of the overall screen width. Currently, the width of the inbox can be expanded, but only to around 1/5 of the overall screen width, leaving the preview panel too large.

  20. Not getting emails

    It seems that I'm not getting emails. I have had several web pages send me a link to click and I never get them, I apparently was signed out of FOXNEWS and they sent me a link which I have not yet gotten. Also some invoices are suppose to have been sent to me, haven't got any.
