WHAT'S NEW?
AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off
Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.

  1. Current Open Email Indicator Bar

    When i am reading my emails with my inbox or folder on the left and the email on the right of the screen, the only indicator on the left in the list of emails of which one I am currently reading is a small, slim purple bar on the right of the email subject and first line card. This little purple bar gets partially covered by the scroll up and down bar when not hovering over it and is completely covered by it if you start using the scroll bar. My preference would be that you make the purple bar…

  2. BUG: Issue with Attachment Viewer

    When pre-viewing an attachment on an email with multiple attachments, ability to select a file from the dropdown is great; allows the user to quickly select a particular file.

    However, when I wanted to go back to the email, for each of those selected files, I need to click the "X" on the top right. If I viewed 3 files, using the dropdown to switch between them, I have to click "X" on top right 3 times.

    The UX should be that a single click on "X" closes the attachment previews and goes back to the email.

  3. A few usability suggestions

    Great new design, I like it. There are a few things that I think could be improved:

    1. Ads look the same as new emails so its hard to see how many emails you haven't checked - good for ads click through, not so great for user experience.

    2. The inbox icon doesn't show the number of unread emails which is a bit odd.

    3. The inbox default to Priority not All even if you haven't set the priority emails.

  5. Some important functions disappear at certain levels of screen zoom

    Because of my eyesight, I often increase the zoom on my screen. In this new design, certain essential buttons disappear "below the fold" and require either a scroll or even resizing the zoom level so it appears. This includes the list of MAILBOXES at bottom left and also the SEND button when composing a message.

    These crucial functions should either be moved up to the upper part of the display or remain durable at the bottom of the screen regardless of the level of zoom. Or at least allow the left panel and the overall page to be scrollable so…

  6. Fix the PDF E-Signature Preview Bug or Default to the Old Features

    The attached PDF file we previewed in the emails didn't contain the E-Signature our company needed to verify with our clients. When we downloaded the PDF file it showed the E-Signatures. This caused some miscommunications and confusions.

  8. Filter Patterns

    Please please please add the ability to use patterns for Filter conditions. This pattern could be regex or globs.

    This would simplify the filtering because we wouldn't have to create so many of them.

  11. working window

    This new version still regularly has either the top or the bottom of the window cut off, with no way to scroll. Much of the time, I have to pop out the email that I'm writing in order to have an accessible send button. This new version is a serious step down from the old one, which actually worked.

  14. Problem that's not your fault!

    (Reporting a symptom that seems like a bug in Yahoo mail, but actually has an external cause, so that your support techs are aware of this. Couldn't find any other way to submit this info, so please route appropriately.)

    I was very frustrated when attempting to edit my Contacts list -- the Save and Cancel buttons would not respond to my mouse clicks at all. Turns out that it wasn't caused by anything in the Yahoo window; any item in the lower right corner of the display would not respond. I observed this running Windows 11, and since I use…

  15. filter

    Is this thing working ?

    OK, just in case it IS working, "filtering" should be by "folder'.

    I would likemy INBOX filtered by UNREAD, but my SENT FOLDER, or my DRAFT folder to be ordered by DATE, newest first.

    But what ever order I select for my INBOX, flows through to e, e.g. DRAFTS.

    OBVIOUSLY, NONE of my drafts are UNREAD, so when I click on DRAFTS, I see NOTHING, and am immediately thinking I screwed something up and possibly deleted ALL my DRAFTS by accident.

    Different folders nee different ordering/filters.

  16. Improve navigation

    Two things in Navigating the email are not good in the new version. Firstly the attachment at the top of the email is there, but clicking it doesnt take you to the attachment. This is very cumbersome and makes you scroll down to the end of the email, which if they are very long is very painful.

    Second the Send and attachment bar at the end of the email is not on the screen, its not fixed, and again you have to scroll down to reach it, especially if you are windows are small and you are working in multiple…

  17. UI needs a lot of improvement

    I don't like the Sender icons. Please allow us to hide them. I also need more visible lines dividing the emails in the email list. I saw a tip for keeping the folders expanded, and when the new email interface loads, I briefly see the left navigation showing more details. It looks much more functional, but then it goes away, and hovering on the Inbox edge is not displaying the double arrow, and I haven't been able to resize. Thank goodness I still have the link to go back to the old interface for now.

  18. Navigating in email

    When you are on a note it is not highlighted. After you open to read and click on it to go back, you do not know which email you were looking at to move or delete etc. I have several from the same sender I am looking at with same subject.

    When you click to the right to delete one email, the inbox totally scrolls up to the first email and you have to scroll down to see where you were! Not good. Time consuming!

  19. print icon and scrolling

    I want you to return the print icon to the inbox emails. It is too time consuming to click on "more" then "print" when it was so much easier to just click "print".

    I also don't like how the email scrolls. I have difficulty getting to the bottom to the "send" button. I have difficulty viewing small print and now have to decrease the zoom just to see the bottom of a long email.

  20. Missing links

    You give me no way to access my set emails, my contacts, my trash or my junk emails. I can't fathom how to do any of these. Why do you make this so user unfriendly? WHY?

    If the subject is "optional," why do you insist that i enter something? More nonsense.
