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!



TIPS:
Disable Inbox Categories (All, Primary, etc) - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Inbox Categories.
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.
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.
Sort By Sender - This is still a sorting option, but you must disable Conversation view under your Settings. Then you will see "Sender name"
Disable AI Summaries - Go to Settings > AI features > Toggle Off



COMING SOON!
Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon!




**Please do NOT post about Account, Password, Login issues here. It will be deleted. Please go to help.yahoo.com.

  1. ADD THE OPTION TO SEARCH E-MAIL ALPHABETICALLY BY SENDER PLEASE

    ADD THE OPTION TO SEARCH E-MAIL ALPHABETICALLY BY SENDER PLEASE! The option used to be available prior to the last update. It makes it a lot easier to scan and delete mail. Example: sort A-Z the mail gets sorted by sender. The first item to come up is Allstate. I have 25 messages from Allstate, I can click and delete all of them at one time.

    Currently I have to scan each sender individually and check off for deletion. This process is EXTREMELY TIME CONSUMING. I appreciate your assistanc in this matter.

    Hi Lynn, we didn't take this ability away. Just like the old version, you need to disable Conversation view under your Settings. Once you disable it, you will see Sender Name as a sorting option. Thanks!

    Yes, you can still do this. We didn't take this ability away! Like the old version, you need to disable Conversation view under your Settings. Once you disable this, you will then see Sender Name as a sorting option.

  4. Bring back sort by sender filter

    You have crippled the search and sorting capability in the new interface. Quite honestly, I am no thrilled by the new browser look and feel. The classic look and capabilities was far superior. I wish you would give us the option to switch back to classic.

    HI Ken, we did not take away any of the sorting capabilities. They are all the same as the old version. Like the old version, you need to disable Conversation view, then you'll see more sorting options like Sender Name. Thanks!

  5. Sort by Sender

    I am going to leave Yahoo mail if I cannot sort by sender. It seems thjat this was taken away and that you haven't explained any alternative, making my inbox a waste land that will be easiest to just move on.

    We encourage you to read at the top of the Uservoice header (forum). There we provide "Tips" and what's "Coming Soon." There we mention how to sort by sender as you can still do this! Definitely read those as we update them with useful information. Thanks!

    It's in the advanced search icon now! Looking at your Inbox, you'll see the Search box at the top, to the right is the advanced search. From there you can search for emails with only photos or attachments.

  7. Descending and Ascending options on inbox.

    Another service that I was just transferred from had the ability to reverse the order of all emails. This made deleting the oldest emails EASY. To get to the oldest emails in my new Yahoo service, I may have to "scroll" for 30 MINUTES to the oldest inbox email! Please add this ability!

  9. Email sorting. Alphabetically

    For years the emails could be sorted alphabetically. This would simplify and speed the deleting process. Please add this option. Thank you

    Hi there, you can disable Inbox Categories under your Settings and go back to having just one Inbox. What use case would you want to sort alphabetical? Are you wanting to see senders? YOU can sort by sender, but Conversation view needs to be disabled. Thanks!

  10. search by folder

    I could clear my inbox a lot quicker if I could search only the inbox! I think this used to be an option on the customized search

    Hi Nancy, you can search by only Inbox... not sure we're following? From you Inbox, when you do a search in the search box, it only searches the Inbox. Are you seeing something different? Also, the advanced search icon is to the right of the Search box. Thanks!

  11. Search cards in results????? Why??? Need to be able to delete or close

    I wish I could share a screen shot but currently there are search results that show "cards" which I know someone is trying to be helpful but on a small screen, I cant even read the emails. The "cards" in the results need to be allowed to be closed or minimized so I can actually read the results of teh search.
    Do NOT assume you know what I'm looking for.

  12. Improve Search Function

    When I do a search of emails, I would like to limit the search to just my inbox. We used to be able to do this via Advanced search, which offered a drop down menu that offered "inbox" as an option. Why did you change this????

    Hi Debbie, we changed this slightly, but it's still the same as the old version In the Search box, you'll see the Advanced search icon to the right.

    Then you'll see Search in... and you can choose the account. It will search the "inbox" of that account. Thanks!

  13. Include new filter category - size of email

    Dear Sirs, I have been using your services for more than 20 years. I understand you want to put 15GB limit on the maximum mail account. However when I tried to delete the largest messages, this was not possible. My suggestion is to add new functionality - filter mail by its size. I am happy to continue using your services with 15GB limit, at the same time I cant find the big emails. I think this feature would help also other users.
    Would you plan to include it in your development plan?

    Thank you.

    Best regards,

    Daniel

    Hi Daniel, you can sort by "Largest First" when looking at your Inbox. You can also go to a Manage Storage Landing page that helps you with deleting tools. That way you get under the 15GB threshold! Just go to the cloud icon in your left hand navigation. It's towards the bottom. Thanks!

    The best way to get rid of spam is to mark as spam, not delete or block! This helps with your spam filters and does exactly what blocking does, prevents that email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam! It is free and part of regular Yahoo Mail. Thanks!

  15. Email Box Clean-Up help

    Hi, I would like to have the ability to search for a email address and mass delete messages. For example I unsubscribed to newsletter I don't use any more but have 2000+ emails, would be nice if there is a way to search and mass delete messages you unsubscribed too. Maybe even a feature of the unsubsribe button.

  17. SEARCH and/or Sort

    I am new from transfer from Comcast, that had excellent email sort by (column: name, date, etc) options. I cannot find any such capability on Yahoo. The need is to search by SENDER, etec., so I can see my emails, select the ones I do not want in that group, and delete them. I realize Yahoo sells storage, but this necessary to manage and delete old emails.

  18. The search in the new web UI is much worse than the old UI

    For example, searching for "EVGA" to find an old receipt yields 0 results. Searching for the same thing in the iOS app finds the mail with the receipt immediately

  19. Add a filter in the inbox with mail size

    I want to delete my mails with the biggest file size, but I can't filter on this. The data consumption for Yahoo is huge when I can't delete the biggest ones.

    Yes, you can delete by size! You can go to your Settings and then click on the storage cloud icon. From there you can sort by largest files. You can also do this by looking at your Inbox, and to the top, right hand side, you'll see the sorting icon and one of your choices is "Largest First." Thanks.

  20. Sort emails alphabetically

    Add ability to Sort emails alphabetically so items from same sender can be grouped together for easy Moving or Deleting.
