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.

  2. spam

    Please put the spam folder back where it is visible. It's annoying having to go all the way to the "..." at the bottom.

  3. Un-collapsing folders permanently

    I would like the folders to stay un-collapsed when I click on the arrow. I don't like having to un-collapse them every time I open my account. It's annoying.
    Thanks for listening.

  4. Search box on the right

    Please allow us to remove the search box on the right. It takes up too much space and does not add value.

  5. Please get rid of the "..." menu

    In the left-hand navigation column, there is no need for a "..." menu (with Unread, Archive, Spam, etc.), because all of the items in that menu will easily fit on the screen. Save us a click and just show those items, please!! I use many of those items daily, and it's a real pain having them hidden like that.

  6. 'Pin A Folder' option.

    Could you add a "pin this folder" and "pin this account's inbox" option? It would make navigation much easier. Sometimes it gets distracting to search through the mailbox repeatedly. This feature would really help streamline the process.
