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?
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.

  1. "..."

    Place the "..." menu above the "Folders". I have an extensive "Folder" list that I like to keep open; and when it is open, the "..." gets pushed below my screen. My main need for the "..." is for "Unread" items.

  2. Show all my folders in left column, as before (I would happily search for my idea if you had somewhere to search)

    In the old mail I could see all my folders at once in the left column, and see my inbox contents. Now if I open the folder section, they cover the message list. I can only see one folder at a time. How can I use your "improvement" (see below) much less use my folders as I have them arranged?

  3. Please bring back the separation between day, weeks & months in the emails. It's a blur without the separation

  4. Sort by SUBJECT

    Please reinstate sorting by SUBJECT. I can see that instead of taking this seriously, admin keeps lying to us by saying all we need to do is disable conversations. Even though I have already done this, there is still no option to sort by SUBJECT.

  6. cursor jumps around in the mail messages

    when scrolling down my mail messages, the cursor will randomly skip 10 or 15 messages down rather than just the next message,

    Very annoying and a big waste of time just to read my mail messages.

  7. Up/Down arrows stop working on message view page

    You finally fixed the issue with arrows navigation - up and down arrows now scroll the message as it does everywhere else on the web. But there's still something wrong - frequently, after some time the arrows stop working (on Google Chrome / MacOS). I'm not sure if some JS code is overriding the arrow controls, but when first viewing a message, the up and down arrows scroll, but after some time on the page, it becomes unresponsive. If I switch messages and come back (e.g. by using the left/right arrows), they become responsive again. But it's super annoying that…

  8. drop priority

    I don't like the "PRIORITY" tab. It does not allow access to some emails. Need to default to "ALL" instead. Thanks.

  10. More efficient reading ability with new email system and ability to block email addresses

    I am finding the new email setup for Yahoo Mail almost unusable on my laptop. I get 75 or more emails a day, and the new system is very inefficient for checking emails in a timely manner. Please help! I would also like to see a feature added back that was removed some time ago. I would like to be able to block email accounts from appearing in any of my feeds, rather than just going to Spam or trash.

  11. Mass Delete

    It should not be a HIDDEN option. It should be a easy key to find. I need to remove dozens of emails daily. Playing hunt to find what should be an easy key to hit is foolish. I read the directions for "finding the HIDDEN option - BUT I still cannot find it. It should not be this much work to clear my inbox

  12. Make "All" the default view instead of "Priority"

    The default view of "Priority" is completely useless and unhelpful to me. It often has false positives and false negatives. I just want to always see "All" and want to make that the default.

    Also, I never read the AI summary and immediately skip over that. It is useless waste of time and space and unnecessarily gets between me and the message.

  14. removing list of folders was stupid - bring back folder visibility

    What is the point of being able to drag and drop into folders if you can't see all your folders in the "New" Yahoo? Give the ability to see the list of folders without having to switch to "Old" Yahoo.

  15. Viewing QR codes inside email

    Try not to block downloading and showing photos and QR codes inside emails. Some of them are useful! Or, leave it to the user to enable showing them when opening an email, like Outlook does.
    I have tried all the settings in your system, but could not make it work.
    I might remove this account from here and stick to the Gmail one. At least that one never disappointed me!

  16. Scrolling with Up/Down arrows and Page up/down keys

    My Up/Down arrow and Page Up/Down sometime scroll, but not always. What do I have to do to always have those functions operate? It would sure make reading my emails on Yahoo a whole lot easier, instead of frustrating.

    Thank you very much!

  17. deleting more than one spam/trash at a time when box to check all is just gone to never never land

    Why do you have to delete spam and trash one at a time. The box at the top of the file to check all and then delete just falls off the face of the earth and is just GONE. I'm thinking I just need to go with gmail even though I have stuck with yahoo since the beginning of time.

  19. Make the up/down arrow ACTUALLY scroll up and down!

    Sadly, the up/down arrow does NOT scroll up and down now. Scrolling in a message remains impossible, and unless this is fixed the new Yahoo Mail will remain unusable.
