New Yahoo Mail



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?
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!
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.
AI Summaries - Ability to disable this under Settings.
Right Hand Column - Ability to minimize: Contacts, Starred, More (Currently Yahoo Mail Plus subscribers)


TIPS:
Drag and drop messages to folders - Just click and hold on an email message, then drag and drop that message into a different folder. 
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. 
Dark Mode - Go to Settings > Appearance.
Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.

  2. Message Layout

    Suggestion: Please could you consider giving users another option on the "Message Layout" section to remove the "third tile" (where the contacts/starred messages) can be viewed. The message tile is shrunk and requires one to scroll to the right to read the full message (even on a laptop). Or you might want to give the user the option to shrink that third tile. Thank you!

  3. Message Layout

    Suggestion: Please could you consider adding another layout option without the "third tile" (where the contacts, starred messages and calendar can be viewed) on the right side of the email list tile and full message tile. It takes up too much space (even on laptop) and restricts the size of message tile unless one scrolls to the right. Or you could consider giving the user the option to reduce the size of that third tile. Thank you!

  5. Can I keep multiple emails open at the same time?

    In the old version, I could keep multiple emails open at the same time, and they appeared as tabs at the top of the inbox. Is that function gone? It was very useful, especially to have an email open and return to the inbox to do a search.

  6. Make "Unread Mail" one of the categories.

    Make "Unread Mail" one of the categories. The current default categories only show mail in the inbox, not in the folders. I have setup filters to have mail automatically go to folders based on who the sender is, so much of the mail is missing. The Unread search folder shows them all at once and makes it easy to delete mail I don't need to read. Without that shortcut, I will have to go back to the old Yahoo mail setup. Please make "Unread Mail" one of the categories!! And make the categories customizable. Thank you.

  10. Why is settings way in the nosebleeds?!

    Settings needs to be more accessible, not out of the way at the bottom of the left column.

  11. folders

    Why isn't the trash folder available on the left Nav pane. Why click the ellipses to get to it. That is very microsoft-esque, meaning a barrier to productivity.

  12. website broken

    The website interface is not working, but the app on mobile seems okay. On the website, I can't open mail, I can't file mail in folders and I can't mark messages. I tried to forward a message and it didn't go through.

  13. Please add back the ability to view picture attachments as a gallery.

    In the classic yahoo mail inbox, there was a way to easily see all of the pictures that were attached to emails. This was very helpful. Not all attachments are pictures, so searching for emails with attachments isn't the same. And searching for emails with pictures is different because a lot of spam (or bulk non-spam) has pictures in the body, so it's cumbersome to sort that way. I just want that 'photos' button under 'views' back!

  18. See all accounts at one time

    Before, I could see all 4 yahoo mail accounts in the top left and whether there was new mail in an account. Now I have to navigate down and check each one separately. The old interface was faster and more convenient if one has more than 1 yahoo mail account.

  19. Settings and other items in wrong location

    It took me quite a while to find Settings. All the other apps I use have Settings as a little wheel up in the right corner. I finally found it tucked away down at the very bottom of the left menu, which ought to be only folders.

    Also, why on earth is Unread tucked away down at the bottom of the Folders? All the items relating to Mail in general should be up under Inbox. Before Folders.

    And I accidentally folded the right menu up and now I can't figure out how to expand it again. Very annoying.

  20. spam

    Yahoo mail's spam filter is good but not perfect. So, I need to see what's in the spam folder. The new Yahoo mail requires two clicks instead of one which makes it a little harder. The old Yahoo mail had a link to the spam folder on the left side.

    It would be desirable for the spam folder to show when there are unread messages to let me check it less often.

    If I want to see what's behind a link in spam mail, I don't want to have to mark it as not spam first.
