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.

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. What Options I can or cannot change and where to go to make changes is the problem.

    I wish that I could customize yahoo mail in an easier way. The options are scattered on so many pages. Its too hard to find out what I cannot change or disable.

  2. Messages

    When I read a message from my Inbox, then X out of it, where does it go?
    I'd like to finish messages later but they disappear.
    Why doesn't the message stay in my Inbox as with Classic Email?

  4. settings

    STOP changing my preferences. I look at my email and do not see my emails. I have to keep changing preferences to ALL so I can see what I want. Yahoo does not know what priority is. YAHOO inserted ads are not a priority those should go to spam folder.

    When I change my settings to see emails only from a sender, newest first or anything else I have to keep changing my settings. Please let me choose what settings I want and keep it that way.

  5. My question and problem are not in your files.

    Why do some new messages show up in the IN file and others, often from the same person, show up in the UNREAD file? What determines that splitup?

    Interestingly, if one reads a message in the UNREAD file and leaves that file for a moment, and then comes back, the message will be gone, obviously, because it has now been read. However, one cannot find that original message anywhere else: not in the spam folder and not even in the trash. It has been vaporized!!

  6. All photos or attachments

    Whoever forced this visual change is making me leave yahoo. I have ONLY used yahoo since my first ever email as a kid and now I've had enough. I liked the old email look and NEVER agreed to an update. There was once an option to go back and I did, however that was temporary and it eventually changed to the updated look. I want to be able to see all attachments and photos in my email and that is completely gone. Whoever proposed this change at yahoo is a ******* idiot. Humans are creatures of habit, sometimes we dont…

  9. move settings button to more intuitive location

    The three dots button to access settings and such is in a non-intuitive place. I spent quite a while trying to find my settings and only clicked on that because it was the last place it could possibly be. It looks like it is just there at the bottom of the folders list to abbreviate the list of folders. Also, it doesn't look like a menu button. Use a word or a hamburger button, those are standard and everyone knows what they are. And for goodness sake! Use standard placement. Don't try to be clever. That's how you end up…

  10. Bug: Mail subject lines are truncated prematurely

    I think there is a bug in how message subject lines are truncated. Yahoo Mail switched to the new theme this morning and now some arbitrary subject lines are truncated prematurely. Also, there's a lot more gray text like in folder names which is harder to read.

    Unfortunately I don't see a way to attach a screenshot of either of these issues. I uploaded a screenshot of the subject line issue to https://i.imgur.com/8AVNWYM.png

    You can see in the first subject line it is truncated prematurely. It should say "Mister is missing" but instead it says "Mister is missi...". There are…

  11. Did not see what I was looking for

    Three things:
    1) skips/jumps and jitters when scrolling - not smooth
    2) sometimes returns to a different set of messages after reading the message, not the one you selected to read
    3) sometimes jumps down two screens of messages when scrolling - very annoying

    The new Type, Format, and presentation are so confusing to me, and the colorful icons on each message are extremely distracting! I feel lost, in my own inbox. WHY WAS THE OLD FORMAT CHANGED WITHOUT GIVING US A CHOICE?

  14. Forced conversion

    A week ago I was offered the choice to "convert" to the new desktop or to keep the original format. i CHOOSE not to convert and my choice was respected. Today I signed in and I have been auto-converted to the new format which I do not want and did not choose. I can't find a way to revert back to the original format. Stop copy/pasting google and realize why you have managed to retain some of your customers. Please assist me in changing the settings back to the original format, or I will indeed leave for good. Thanks.

  15. uncollapse

    When uncollapsing the Left Rail's expanded folders, there is no option to uncollapse the foldiers found under the ellipses (...), including Spam and Trash.

    I want this functionality back, just as it was in Basic Mail.

  16. Multiple Email Addresses - User Navigation

    UPDATE: Now both my email addresses have switched to the new UI and I am still not able to navigate between the two accounts. I am very disappointed, this is an incredibly sloppy way to introduce your users to a new UI. This seems to be unfinished - you should have allowed your users to opt-in at will if they wanted to be a part of experimental, sloppy changes.

    I have 2 Yahoo email addresses. One of them (without my permission) was switched over to the new Yahoo UI, which I do not approve of. I was able to switch…
