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.

Unfortunately, you cannot revert back. We are only making the new one better. We know change is frustrating and hard but we really hope you'll give the new layout a fair chance.



WHAT'S NEW:
Calendar - We moved it from under "More" on the right hand side to it's own icon. Still on the right hand side, but it's now the first icon next to Starred and Contacts.

Photos View - We added it to the sorting drop down in the top, right hand side of your Inbox. Click on that icon, and you'll see "More Filters" at the bottom, from there you can filter by Attachments and Photos in emails.

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
Unread Count - You can hover over "Inbox" to see the Unread count or you can expand the left hand column and Unread will be in the column below Inbox with the unread count. No hovering.



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

Unsubscribe Button in Subject Line - We are moving it out of the way!



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




Thank you! 💜

  2. Add categories to search filter

    I was trying to search emails from a sender in the Trash folder. I used to be able to search by sender and then click on the folder to do the search. The folder filter is no longer there. Now I have to go to the trash folder and then type in the sender. This doesn't work if I forgot who the sender was.

  3. Bring Back Search Capabilities

    You made the desktop application similar to the mobile app in terms of the search functionality. It's annoying, not helpful, and defeats the purpose of organizing emails into folders if you can't search each folder individually, or filter by folder. Please bring back that feature.

  4. I would like to be able to sort by Subject

    Introduce a feature that recognizes date-prefixed subject lines and provides an option to prioritize or group these emails. Because the date is placed at the beginning of the subject in YYYY/MM/DD format, a simple Subject (A→Z) sort naturally orders the emails by due date.

    The enhancement would allow users to:

    Pin or prioritize these date-formatted emails at the top of the inbox or a selected folder.
    Sort by Subject while preserving chronological order based on the due date embedded in the subject.
    Quickly view upcoming bills and payment obligations without creating separate calendar events, tasks, or reminders.

    Benefits

    Simple and…

  8. The Mistakes Keep on Giving - search missing folder selection

    You guys messed up search. Again, wow....no quality control? when searching for emails, you can't select which folder you want to search in anymore. The older version you could. Why can't we anymore? I want to search for particular emails in my inbox so i don't have to go scrolling. But now search returns all emails in all folders that fit the search terms. Horrible.

    Why oh why must we endure this stupidity?!?!? I'm not a software engineer but can you hire me as one because apparently i would have better input during the design and testing phase. Ooops, sorry,…

  9. Sort incoming mails datewise

    Please add sort incoming emails date-wise, as was done earlier. The advertisements are very annoying and take up valuable screen space. I would prefer a full view of my inbox, with the right-side menu being adjustable or collapsible to provide more space for viewing emails.

  10. searching emails

    We used to be able to type in a word and then had the option to search a specific folder. Please restore that feature. I do not like how the Search feature has been changed. The new changes makes finding things more difficult. Why do you keep changing things when they worked great the way they already were???!

  11. Please enable Search by FOLDER

    The previous version of Yahoo Mail allowed you to search mail by FOLDER. It's a handy feature that I would appreciate you bringing it back. I'm sure I'm not the only person that would appreciate it as well.

  12. bring back see all mail from one sender; also make search for whole mail account, not a certain time frame

    There used to be a way to see all mail from same sender and see all mail with a search term, now it appears time limited and there are too many steps to delete a group of messages.
    I really hate this new layout.

  15. Sort by "To" and "From".

    When you searched for an email address, the list needs to have option to sort "To" and "From" that email. Why would you delete this option from the old version? This is a down grade!!

  16. Add a keyword search!!

    You previously had really good email search functions, including a keyword search. It's pretty useless the way it is now. Make the search functions the same as before!!

  17. Search

    Why get rid of one of the most used features - the search glass by sender and subject. This new format looks more cluttered and requires more steps to accomplish actions than the old one. Feels like this is change for the sake of change. Not sure what has improved from the prior version.

  20. Ricerca nella cartella specifica

    La riccerca nella versione precedente poteva essere fatta direttamente all'interno di una specifica cartella, mentre in questa nuova versione non può essere più fatto. Se per esempio io cerco la parola Yahoo all'interno della barra di ricerca questa mi andrà a trovare tutte le email con quella parola al suo interno senza dare la possibilità di poter, per esempio, cercare solo all'interno della cartella In Arrivo, nonostante comunque sia segnata la cartella alla quale appartengono le varie email e quindi sia chiaro al sistema che il filtro sarebbe possibile
