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
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!
Total Number of Emails - See total number and not just unread messages.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.
Right Hand Column - Ability to minimize: Contacts, Starred, More (Currently for Yahoo Mail Plus subscribers)


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

  1. Being able to narrow the search tool to specific folders like the inbox

    Bring back the search feature, which allows you to narrow your search to just the inbox, instead of all the folders. Much easier and quicker than having to search through files that have already been moved to specific folders.

  4. Sort Problems

    The removal of the spy glass feature has made it difficult to clean out my mailbox. I see that you can sort by sender from the dropdown box. However, this does not enable you to focus on one particular sender. I don't want to see all senders alphabetically and have to scroll down to find a particular one. Please fix this. My inbox is a mess.

  5. Please bring back the spy glass search function to list all emails from the same sender. It is easier to use.

  6. mark as read for ALL unread email, not just what is showing

    I want to periodically be able to select ALL unread messages (even those that do not show) and mark them as read. I have thousands and need to restart.

  7. Create a possibility fo filter by name "send to"

    Dans ma Yahoo Mailbox, j'ai des dossiers mémorisés par sujets (p.ex. Vacances). Je peux y trouver les mails par ordre chronologique. Je trouve également facilement d'un simple coup d'oeil de qui j'ai reçus les mails. Par contre, ceux que j'ai envoyés moi-même, apparaissenst avec l'indication "moi". Mais si veux chercher tous les mails que j'ai envoyé à une personne XY, je n'ai pas de filtre pour le faire. N'est-il pas possible d'ajouter une colonne "envoyé à" ?

  8. Search returns irrelevant documents

    It is often the case that search returns irrelevant documents because the query gets aggressively expanded. For example, I recently searched for "Tri-ad", and I got back results without the word tri-ad, but with the words "trial", "tried", or "tricks". This kind of thing happens to me all the time - I'll enter a very specific query, and get back a lot of irrelevant messages - please dial-down the query expansion and spell correction settings for search! - LuVogt
