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!

    Why can't I 'sort" by sender? I want to sort my inbox in order by sender so I can easily see all the emails from one person/sender and review/delete quickly

  4. What happened to 3000+ e-mails

    Dear Sirs,
    I was very uneasy about switching to the Yahoo service. I have been a Comcast/Xfinity customer for over 30 years. I have lost easily several thousand e-mails in the transition. Many of those I would likely have deleted anyway but now it seems like I have maybe a hundred e-mails when it was formerly in the thousands. Is there anyway to retrieve everything that has been lost?
    What does your statement mean, "I have a product subscription that includes technical support?" That was not a requirement with Comcast/Xfinity or was it included in my monthly fee? Does Yahoo…

    Please make sure you are marking these emails as spam instead of just deleting. Also, if they are newsletters please make sure you unsubscribe from these. We will also share this with our anti-spam team. Thank you!

  11. Sort Alphabetically

    Hi could you make one of the sort options on mail to sort alphabetically? I find that it's a much faster way to clean out my inbox. Thank you

    Hi there, sort alphabetical....we do have sort by sender, which is most requested by our Community. Sort be sender can work the same. If you disable Conversation view under your Settings, you will see Sort By Sender as one of your choices. Hope this helps!

  12. Mobile app Sender Info is Broken

    On the mobile app, I can no longer see who the actual sender is when I view their "card". The information simply does not load.

  15. functional search engine with easy navigation

    As a long-time Yahoo Mail user, I would like to point out that with the latest version of this mail I have a problem with searching for emails by sender name.
    I don't get what I need at all and like it was in the previous version.

    When I select to see an email from a specific name, I don't get just the name I need, but all possible emails sent by others. It completely blocks my quick browsing and selection activities.

    Please show me a solution.

  17. Storage -- Dark Pattern UX

    It should be a given that an email provider gives a user a way to sort by size of the email. With the new storage limit, it seems like you've neglected this critical feature in an attempt to get users to purchase storage from you. It doesn't appear in my inbox, even on desktop, and doesn't even appear in the "helpful" options you provide to manage storage. As a long time yahoo user, I am floored by this dark pattern.

  18. Sort by Sender

    Need to be able to sort by SENDER!
    You've taken this away in the previous version AND in the new version
    This is a NECESSARY sort as you can then sort then do what you want with them as a Group!
    As it is now, there is no way to sort by sender at all (that anyone can find).

  20. Searching for (messages) by sender, or by subject

    In the old email, there is a circle next to the sender, when you click on that circle, ALL email from that sender appears. You can do the same with subject. There is no need to retype any of that information. It was much easier.
