*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.


COMING SOON!
Total Number of Emails - See total number and not just unread messages.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.

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. 
Dark Mode - Go to Settings > Appearance.
Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.

    Does this mean that feature is not yet available? I want to default to ALL and I want to delete the other tabs across my mail.

  4. Sorting of email A->Z or Z->A

    Would like to sort emails A->Z or Z->A. With the new email format, the storting is Newest first or oldest first, or read or unread.
    Bring back the sorting of emails A->Z or Z->A.

  6. sort by sender

    I do not like this new yahoo. How do I sort by sender? Internet has an incorrect answer. I used to be able to hover over the inbox and it would tell me how many emails I had. Can you bring that back?

  7. Improve inbox organization or let user set width or order of fields

    Wish I could change the width of the columns (date), location of that (sort by date first), and it seems to me I get emails in the middle of other emails (not most-recent-first). I am responding to email with mail above and below me

  9. "All Mail" a choice for default setting

    When I open Yahoo email its default setting is "priority email". When I open Yahoo email I want my default setting to be "ALL" mail. There should be a way to set what is each person's opening default mail is shown.

  11. In "Personalize Inbox" settings, IF "Inbox Categories" is ON, THEN offer Radio Button to switch between "All" or "Priority" as default view

    Hi, just today (2025-02-11) a pop-up appeared when I logged in, asking if I wanted either "All" or "Priority" as the default view when I first logged in. I chose the wrong one (for me), and then went looking for this within the Settings to change the initial choice that I made, but I don't see this as something within the Settings yet.

    Can this be placed in "Settings > Personalize Inbox"? Presently, the only toggle in there is to turn the "Inbox Categories" on or off, but would be nice to have a Radio Button selector to switch between…

  12. Hate the PRIORITY default setting

    Make ALL the default. I HATE having to click to have access to ALL of my email. The Priority should be an option, not the default! And, is there a way I can change that?

  13. Where is the Select All Button

    Not a new idea but where is the Select All button so that I can bulk delete or move groups of emails? Surely you didn't eliminate such a basic function???

  14. Allow a way to set default view

    Please allow me to choose which view I want to see as a default when I first login/refresh. With the new UI, it seems like "Priority" is the default view, but I want to always see "All" my emails when I first login

  15. Manages Subscriptions

    Would be great to have a "manage subscriptions" capability which shows all of the subscriptions associated with that email address and lets the user unsubscribe from the Yahoo view.

  17. How to move two folders to the left column of the monitor

    Some of the folders on the left I do not use.
    The Spam and Trash folders are no longer on the left side but I have to search for them to see what came in that should have been deposited in my inbox. The spam and trash folders should be on my left side all the time. They are not.
    Can someone remove two useless folders and replace them with Spam and Trash folders?
