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.

AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off

  1. Group mail by sender feature

    How about an option to group mails by sender in the inbox just like regular messages. It's neater, easier to find older mails.

  2. appearance

    Where's my emails? You've knocked them out. Please put back my email the way it was. I need my emails and I shouldn't have to pay for more storage. You are trying to fleece me.

  5. general feedback on the new design - needs work!

    Some general feedback which I hope you will consider from a 30yr Yahoo Mail user!

    • overall this is the best new iteration in over a decade; HOWEVER 1) the 'send' button is poorly positioned. there should be a 'send' button at the very TOP, in addition to the bottom of an email. Reason being...if it's a long email (or an old one with lots of back/forth) it takes a very long time to scroll to the bottom to send. Poor design, which should never have slipped through QA! 2) there is NOT ENOUGH real estate for message preview! if placed…

  6. New 'move' function unusable (PC - web browser)

    In the new interface, the mouse wheel won't make the folder dropdown list scroll so I can't drag'n'drop the email I'm trying to move into the right folder. It's also awkward having to hold the mouse button down while trying to scroll with the mouse wheel. (Web browser: Brave. OS: Windows 11. Mouse: Razer Naga Trinity)

    We encourage you to read at the top of the Uservoice header (forum). There we provide What’s New, Coming Soon and some Tips. There we mention how to expand folders and keep them expanded. Definitely read those as we update them with useful information. Thanks!

  7. Sorting by subject

    I would really LOVE if I could sort my emails by subject. Most of my email's come from the same sender and I dearly need to be able to sort them by subject.

    Yes, you can sort by sender in this version as well. You will first need to disable Conversation view. We cannot sort by sender when Conversation view is enabled. Once you disabled it under your Settings, you will see a sorting option as Sort by Sender. Thanks!

  8. Contacts

    Why is there not a large and obvious Contacts button??? It's an EMAL app. How is it that something as basic as Contacts in a communication app is hard to find??

  9. add message count to Spam Folder

    In the left column, the "..." button to pull up the special folders, it would be nice to show the # of messages in the Spam folder.

  12. unread filter is now useless

    I'm now stuck in the new UI and the unread folder doesn't have the option to filter out the sent items. I need to find and remove some 50,000 old emails and now I can't reach them because of all the unsubscribe emails you sent on my behalf.

  13. Extra, unnecessary navigation and features being forced

    I like the new look, however there are a couple things I dislike. It seems now I need to actually select an email to "Star" it. That wasn't necessary prior. Also, the trash icon will not appear on the email in the left column unless you move your mouse away and return. These new aspects are seriously annoying and would prefer an option for that not to be that way. When changing the look, please don't change folder structures. Every time you give a facelift, I have to take time to put things back the way they were through a…

  15. Delete confirmation pop up partially covers the trash can icon for the next message

    The delete confirmation pop up partially covers the trash can icon for the next message in the message list. moving the confirmation pop up up a few pixels will resolve that.

  17. Number of items in each folder

    The number of messages in folders only shows an unread tally. I would like to see the number of ALL read and unread messages like it was previously.

  18. Cannot move emails into folders

    In the new Yahoo platform, there are times I cannot "move" selected emails into folders. The tool will show a red message that the email cannot be moved. I have never had this happen before (with the old platform). I have cleared my cache, updated my browser, refreshed the page, etc. It's SO FRUSTRATING. I don't have time to click a million buttons, links, etc. to move ONE email ONE time. This issue needs to be fixed.

  19. Restore unread mails view of multiple inboxes

    The "old" interface had the possibility to see unread emails per inbox. I have four inboxes in Yahoo Mail and at a glance I can see in which inbox I have unread emails. In the new interface this is gone. Please restore this.

  20. Display the entire subject line instead of a useless URL from the emai.

    The new yahoo mail shows me about one third of the subject line and uses the rest of the room to display the URL of the first link in the email. Introduce a setting where I can see more of the subject line.
