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?
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. 
Search Results Will Show Folder - Now when you do a search, where the emails are located will show up.


COMING SOON!
Total Number of Emails - See total number and not just unread messages.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.

TIPS:
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.

Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.

  2. My subject has not been previously posted.

    The unread folder is a needless feature. Just put all incoming messages that are not spam into the inbox. The unread folder is too unstable and messages in it are too hard to deal with, especially after they have been read and disappear into the great unknown.

  3. Options to make things more compact

    Right now everything has so much space around it that very little fits on the screen. Can we have options that tighten things up a bit so we can see more without having to scroll.

    In dark mode I can't read the text in a lot of my messages recently. Please make the fonts visible.

  5. remove glitch in email

    I think it would be super helpful if your ****** email page doesnt automatically send emails after i try to tab in to start the email. It would probably help if i could choose when to send an email. Very silly big dumb company! IM SURE THIS WILL NEVER GET ADDRESSED!

  6. Keyboard shortcuts to move message to folder

    Keyboard shortcuts to "Move message to Folder" no longer work. We used to have "D[0-9]" (the D key followed by a single number) keystrokes would move message to folders 0 through 9. The "D" key works, but the numbers are gone. Really Yahoo? Is this the best that you can do?

  7. multiselect

    The multiselect is still not working. Clicking on the top email and then scrolling down and clicking shift select doesn't select the right things. If one of the emails between the top and bottom item selected is read, then it only selects from the read message down.

  8. Customize Yahoo mail shortcuts

    It would be nice to add folders that are used that I access quite frequently instead of just the main four
    such as trash or spam

  9. Compact view is NOT compact

    The compact view of the new inbox is NOT compact. Takes up way, way too much space. At least offer another option to change font or compress further.

  10. magnification

    The new email portal is not friendly to users that need magnification. Once the screen is magnified, parts of the menu are taken off the screen and become inaccessible, e.g. the ability to switch to a different mailbox. Please create a way for visually impaired users to maneuver your email portal.

  11. overall functionality and visual

    Honestly, I prefer the previous yahoo version, it is streamline and user friendly. I finally found where to remove the categories, much cleaner how.

    Suggestions:
    In the email subject line, please remove the little reminders of preview version, add to calendar, preview bill, etc., just distracting and extra stuff and redundant. All of the info is in the body of the email.

    When the email is open, please remove the Yahoo preview, it is redundant and not necessary.

    How do I keep the sidebar sections uncollapsed, both the inbox and folders. I just prefer it this way.

  12. ALL is All

    Restore the "all" function. All is ALL - not 100. ALL especially with Spam and Trash would make this operation user friendly and accurate. If you only wish to delete 100 items then label it as such.

  13. select

    When using the left-panel version of the UI, when you select a message, there are TWO sets of action buttons (archive, move, delete, etc.) shown on the screen, very close to each other. The upper set of buttons affect the selected message(s), whereas the lower set of buttons affect the currently open message. It's VERY confusing to have two nearly identical UI elements on the screen that do two distinctly different things, and I often click the wrong button. In the old UI, once you select a message, the buttons that apply to the currently open message are replaced by…

  14. yellow folder

    A small suggestion: Make the MOVE folder yellow. I move every email I read and that little invisible box just doesn't stand out enough.

  15. a new Previews thought

    Subject: ** Email previews are new and irritating beyond words. ***

    Previews are not an improvement if one cannot opt out of them. I have tried disabling them multiple times in Settings and despite being toggled off, still previews appear in my email, unbidden and unwanted.

    Why? I tried contacting the straight-up HELP contact feature; it stopped dead before allowing me to write a message like this, and so I got nowhere.

    I need help from someone at Yahoo.

    *** Please, please, send me the insider scoop on how to permanently get rid of mail previews. ***

    Thank you.

  16. unread e mails

    the ability to click on the unread option to quickly find unread messages is gone making it nearly impossible to control in box. If I paste a picture the option to make it small is gone also. Not a fan of the grayed out read and unread either.

  17. I hate that the Inbox jumps back to top after each email I delete. Very frustrating to have to scroll back to where I was working. Fix it!!!

    Keep the location you are at in Inbox after you delete an email. That was the way it was. Why did you change it? Fix it ASAP!!!

  19. I want to see all mailboxes. At least give an option to pin them all to be visible in the pane.

    I want to see all mailboxes. At least give an option to pin them all to be visible in the pane. It's tedious and less efficient to have to hover to be able to see them to select a different mailbox. Also, display the number of unread emails next to the priority mailbox at the top of the pane.

  20. Menu options at top please move closer to left panel instead of center

    With a large screen, you have to travel longer with your mouse to make a selection at the top bar. It would make it easier if options (reply, forward, move, etc) were closer to left panel or the back button.
