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.

  1. 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.

  2. Sort Inbox by Sender name

    In the last version of Yahoo Mail, I could sort my Inbox by Sender Name, and it alphabetized the list of emails in my Inbox. That helped me easily delete the scams and stuff I wasn't interested -- especially the ads that pile up. I selected. Now that feature's gone, and I'm about ready to scream! Why do you tech people always think when you change something, you're actually making it more user friendly? We don't all think like you.

  5. Mailbox for subscriptions

    Gmail has it where you can see your subscriptions, it would be nice to have this option in yahoo as well. It will be easier to get rid or unsubscribe from them.

  6. 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.

  9. 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,

  10. 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…

  11. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  20. sort by email size

    It would be really great if you could make it so we can sort by email size.
    Like if you made the top heading look like Outlook:
    From | Subject | Received date | Size

    Especially since you're now limiting the size of accounts, people need an easy way to be able to sort out / delete large size emails.
