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.

  1. selectively displaying images

    I don't display images by default (helps with privacy), but I want to display them on individual messages as needed. The new Yahoo mail doesn't seem to have a button to do this. This is enough to get me to switch back to the old Yahoo mail.

  2. Folders

    Not user friendly. Better when I can see all my folders to the left, instead of clicking on Folders. I like change, but not when they're not for the better but instead are worse.

  4. Need to be able to pin additional folder options

    Right now the Spam, Archive, Trash, Settings, etc. features are all hidden in the ellipsis menu when there is a lot of extra space in the left hand navigation pane. These options should be optionally hidden (pin / unpin) vs. having go to the hidden menu all the time (especially for Spam mail). Also we lost "empty all spam messages" feature in the redesign.

    It would also be nice to be able to re-order the navigation pane.

  5. Make the shortcut to delete the email you're writing UNDOable and harder to trigger

    I REALLY HATE that you have a keyboard shortcut that deletes the email your WRITING with NO chance to undelete it. I clicked the delete/backspace key, and if my comp shift/ctrl sticks at all then it's just gone. Horrible. At least send it to the trash where you can undelete the thing. Not even an 'undo' that I saw. Tried ctrl z. Arg!!

  6. 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!

  7. 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
