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. Fix "search" doesn't find existing folders, can't move messages.

  2. Add an option to restrict searches to the Inbox

    Being able to search just the Inbox allows people to look for messages to delete or file more easily because they aren't seeing messages that have already been handled. This used to be an option. Why did you take it away??

  3. Include the option to search in only the INBOX

    While in the INBOX, using the SEARCH YOUR EMAIL option, add an OPTION for a SEARCH CRITERIA to limit a search to only the INBOX. Retain the current global search while in the INBOX. This was available in previous versions of Yahoo Mail.

  4. Keyword Search sorted by a folder is no longer available?

    With this new version, it doesn't appear that the option to do an advanced Keyword Search sorted by a folder (Inbox, etc) is available. I use this function weekly, if not more often.
    Since this new version was implemented, I have missed 2 bill payments and 2 other important messages because the user interface is not optimal. Very disappointing.

  5. Terrible

    Emails don't load. Can't search email. Great program enhancement if you're truly trying to get away from email.

  7. Email advanced search

    Hello, generally the new email client is fine, thank you. However, I need one modest but significant feature please. In email advanced search, I (and I assume others) need to filter by only the Inbox, so the results do not contain messages in other folders. Filtering by a folder is possible, but I don't see a way to filter by just messages in the Inbox. Thank you!

  8. Additional feature to Search your mail

    The current Search your mail feature performs a comprehensive search across all folders, including subfolders. It would be beneficial to have an Inbox‑only option that allows users to exclude subfolder results and limit the search to the main Inbox.

  13. Have the search actually work

    I searched for emails with a specific keyword, with a broad date range, and it refused to show me anything older than a month. This is completely useless and is enough to make me permanently forward all of my emails to a different provider and stop using yahoo altogether.

  16. pin file folders and filing cabinet open

    the search button was worthless when i was looking for my reservations in the new (shall I say awful) yahoo mail system. I had to spend about 20 minutes looking through every file folder, as everything has been collapsed. HUGE step backward- huge.

  17. Bring back the search in arrow when you want to search the entire email for one category.

    Bring back the search in arrow when you want to search the entire email for one category. And if you want to move emails to a folder, show it as moved.

  18. Creation of Sender Tiles...

    When viewing/sorting by sender, would it be possible—like binder partitioning tabs—to checkbox said tiles and then hit "delete". Also, a complimentary feature to expand all/collapse all said tiles. Option to color code if possible. Also if a business email is emailing \with the same domain but different "ORG", can that be differentiated in its corresponding title as well. Same goses for trash, so users know what they are deleting.

  19. Searching using a key

    The issue is when do this: tap 🔍 to search, then tap
    a contact, then tap "Add keyword", then enter keyword.

    For example, if I tap "Contact1" and enter "Keyword1", the results contain:
    Contact1, Keyword1
    Contact2, Keyword1

    But shouldn't the results only show the emails from
    Contact1 containing Keyword1?. After all, that's the
    reason why I initially tapped Contact1 - to search
    only within Contact1's emails. Otherwise, if I wanted
    to search ALL emails for Keyword1, then I would
    have just entered Keyword1 after tapping 🔍 button,
    and not tapped Contact1 at all.

    Ps: This is for mobile mail app…

  20. Bring back the Search option

    I literally can't search for a certain email I need, or even the person it's from. I don't have time to sit and scroll months and months back. I'm not sure if this was intentional, or maybe some sort of issue. I've refreshed multiple times and the option is not showing, or you hid it somewhere stupid.
