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
Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.
Sender's Email Address - You don't have to open the message to see the sender's email address. Just hover over the sender's name from your Inbox. 



COMING SOON!
Resize Images - Resize an image within the message.
Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.

TIPS:
Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize 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. 
Dark Mode - Go to Settings > Appearance.

  3. 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.

  4. unsubscribe button

    While the UNSUBSCRIBE button is a nice idea, it tends to cover the "subject" message and pops- up and activates while user trying to see what the messages are before opening. Also it does NOT work with ALL ads/subscription with membership sign up. IE Blains Farm and Fleet one example as I was reviewing inbox while typing this.
    THANKS

  5. 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.

  6. Why is settings way in the nosebleeds?!

    Settings needs to be more accessible, not out of the way at the bottom of the left column.

  7. Mailboxes list

    Rather than require the user to hover over the current mailbox on the bottom left and then select the mailbox they want to view, why not just list them all out on the bottom left and only having a "+" whenever the user has more than 5 or 10 mailboxes?

  8. Navigation

    This is not an improvement for the customer at all. Just moving the furniture around doesn't improve anything. Put the Left menu bar back the way it was. Took 5min to find the **** spam folder still don't know how to empty it with one click. This version sucks people.

  10. 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.

  11. total number of messages in inbox

    In the old version when the cursor hovered over the inbox it told you the total number of messages in that box. Now in the new version, when I do the same thing it only tells me the number of UNread messages in the inbox. I would really appreciate a feature where I can see the total number of messages in my inbox. Thank you

  12. 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.

  13. '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.
