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.



COMING SOON!

Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.

  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. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  11. 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.

  15. sort inbox by starred emails

    I am no longer able to sort my inbox by 'starred'. Meaning all the starred emails in my inbox should appear first, and none of the starred emails that have been moved to other folders. Is this a function that is no longer available to me, or are you experiencing some sort of glitch? Thanks!

  17. Sender address

    In the old version, I could hover my cursor over the sender, and it would show me the email address the message was coming from. That way I could automatically see if it's spam. That has gone away, so now I have to click on the message, check the sender's address, to determine if it's spam. It used to be that even clicking on an email was dangerous, so I don't know if this is still the case, but it's very inefficient at best as is now. Thanks!

  19. Emails not getting delivered

    I can't get any emails from Southwest airlines, they say it is something in the yahoo email server. I looked through to make sure it wasn't blocked, and it isn't. Should be a way to add an email or company to make sure that emails will get through, or to easily see what can't get through.

  20. putting AI content on the side

    I get annoyed by the AI summaries, so I have turned them off. I think my annoyance is less about them as AI or doing work I can do then it is that they take half the screen space, and it is a priority space, for the email. I bet that is the intention, but putting them elsewhere should be considered for people like me. At least to make us less annoyed at yet another tech company telling us AI is what we should be using.
