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. Where is the Spam folder?

    The Spam folder does not show up on the New Yahoo mail and there is no mention as to if it has bee removed or what is happening with the Spam emails. How do you find the Spam folder? I tried the contact us option but it won't bring up all of the options to fill out the form. It won't let me pick a topic, in fact there are no topics listed.

  4. I want to see my folders without having to click on 'Expand' each time I open Yahoo mail.

    I want to see my folders without having to click on 'Expand' each time I open Yahoo mail.
    I have rules sending incoming mails to specific folders and now I have to click on 'expand' every time to check if I have new e-mails in my folders.

  8. cannot move emails to folders very easily

    If you have a lot of folders, like I do, the new version of Yahoo Mail makes it impossible to move emails to folders. There is no way to simultaneously drag the emails and scroll down the folder list to the email folder you want.

  9. Expanded Folders

    Under What's new, I see you have "Expanded Folders - Now you can keep them collapse/uncollapse if you want your Left Rail less cluttered". However, I am not sure it is working as expected.

    I still have to click on folders to open the small window. It goes away if I click somewhere else. I think a couple of weeks ago, the folders list did stay open in the left Rail. It doesn't do that now.

    Can you please check this one ?

    I also tried incognito mode in case it was a caching issue.

  10. There is no gear icon, or any other way to exit Settings in the new Yahoo! User Experience. Also, I was required to sign in again in order

    There is no gear icon, or any other way to exit Settings in the new Yahoo! User Experience.

    Also, I was repeatedly asked to sign in again in order to post this bit of feedback. Do you perform any QA before releasing these changes?

  11. top bar move folder is in different places

    The icon for moving selected emails is in a different location depending on if you have an email checked or if you're reading the email. This is confusing. I've marked messages as unread instead of moving them several times now. It disrupts the work flow. The top bar should be the same wherever you use it. Secondly, it should just be constant and not disappear unless something is selected. That's very confusing also. A consistent menu, please.

  14. ad pops up when i click on email

    Please restore all folders in left rail. Also, I tried to open an email from my local library but every time I clicked it, it opened the ad in the right rail. It was so frustrating. I had to go the email above the one I wanted to open, and then arrow down to the message from my local library.
    I'm thinking if this continues, I'll look at another email service.

  17. Navigation on the main screen on the Desktop version

    For those of us who have multiple email accounts, can you give us the option to show all of the email accounts in the left pane on the main screen instead of having to navigate to each individual mailbox by moving the cursor to the bottom at the email account field, and then sliding to the right to view the other mailboxes. Then if we do have email, we have to slide back up to the proper email account. This would save time. Thanks.

  18. Spellcheck Squiggly Line Errors are too Hard to See in Dark Mode

    Good Afternoon,

    When there is a spellcheck error in the New Yahoo Mail's Dark Mode, it is too hard to see, making it hard to navigate through the message to catch all of the spelling errors

  19. What are you asking for?

    The unread/read categories have really made this platform unworkable and difficult. Now, some of my new messages go the unread folder, but disappear once I open them. I have no idea where to look for them now. Meanwhile, some new messages come into my inbox, as I am accustomed to seeing. How do I make all my new messages go to the inbox?

  20. Add @iCloud.com email account to Yahoo Mail

    Why I can't add my @iCloud.com address to Yahoo Mail?
    I receive an error message about me.com accounts do not support your logins method.

    I can add @icloud.com address to Gmail, Outllok Mobile and others apps for android and iPhone. But Yahoo mail is not one of those.
