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.

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.

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.

  1. There is so much wrong with this, I don't know where to start!!!

    1. it seems the reason for your change was to use 1/3 of my screen for that ad on the right side!
    2. When I set up my choices way back when, they worked for me, and still would if you would let me be.
    3. You didn't give me an option...you hi-jacked my account and forced me into this new email garbage.
    4. The color choices and changed layout makes it very hard to read and file my emails.
    5. I used to be in one of my 4 email accounts, and could easily change to the others with a click of the mouse.…

  2. multiple attachments at once

    Previously I could attach multiple files by selecting them from their folder, new mail has me attaching them one at a time. very inefficient when I have a folder with an invoice and packing slip files side by side and can no longer box both at once for attachment. Same thing where I need to attach multiple photos, 1 at a time, very inefficient attaching process. Too many repetitive process extra clicks, do you not beta test this junk before just dumping it on us?

  4. New Yahoo email deleted many options I used.

    A lot of issues with this new version of Yahoo email. One of the biggest is the option to change the font size of my email messages that I send or print. The font size is so small on the emails I print I can hardly read them with out a magnifying glass. Also, I cannot bold anything, underline anything, color anything in my outgoing email messages.

    Please disable this awful jumping of the entire email body when writing, which hides all the previous text and the recipient whenever performing any action such as creating a new line or pasting from the clipboard. It is extremely inconvenient and very frustrating.

  6. Put CC and BCC in one button like before

    CC and BCC being in one button that you can use to also hide those lines was more practical than the new buttons, I think.

    Note the convenience of tabbing from the recipient header to the subject line.

  7. cc & bcc needs to have option to stay visible when composing/reading e-mails

    If you put addresses in cc or BCC and then go to type the message, the CC & BCC automatically hide so you have to show them again if you need to check something, then they hide again when you go to the message. If you choose to show all the recipients, they should stay visible.

    By hiding it, it also makes it hard to hover over one and copy the e-mail address and then paste it in the e-mail if you need to. I use this when I need to give someone an e-mail address... I would put it…

  11. Stop being stupid

    STOP putting the cursor at he top of the screen. I like/Need to see what I've typed to make it coherent. I am tempted to drop Yahoo and use the google interface.

    Also, I like seeing ALLL my emails while you prefer to pick and choose what YOU think is important. It is not about YOU it is MY email.

    STOP IT. STOP doing both of those actions as it makes managing my email more difficult.

    I am already signed in. Why are you making everything so difficult.

  12. Provide ability to attach more than a couple of images to mail - documents or photos ..

    I would immediately pay $5 / month to open up 1/3rd of the screen now cluttered with images of all but naked ladies of which I have no interest WHENEVER I can send e-mail containing a few images ... as Gmail allows ... It is very bothersome ... at least warn reaching limits of attachments rather than telling me afterwards to go to Google

  13. edit receiver names

    When composing new emails, I want the ability to edit the receiver's name, for example: some times as Thomas Moore, some times as Tom Moore, some times as Tom... as long as the email address under those name is correct. Please bring back this option.

  14. ability to edit the list of suggested e-mail addresses when composing a message

    I used to be able to delete e-mail addresses that would show up when I started typing on the 'to' line when composing an e-mail, but the 'x' symbol to remove them from being suggested seems to be gone. The suggestions include any e-mail address that I have ever received a message from, regardless of if I have ever responded to it before. Please give that back so unnecessary, obsolete or invalid e-mail addresses can be removed from being suggested. Not having it is very annoying and there was absolutely no reason to remove it.

  15. Mention or tag someone

    The function to mention or tag someone is not working, when you use "@" followed of a name or email, you should be able to choose the email or person you need to tag, but right now is not working. Or maybe you need to activate it somehow?

  16. email addresses during composing

    When composing an email, typing in the name of a recipient, your listed contact name pops up along with any similar name of previous received senders not in your contact list.
    You used to be able to hover to the right of the "unwanted" names, an X would pop up and you could delete the excess contacts.
    We are no longer able to do that and would appreciate the return of the feature. It helps clear up clutter and unnecessary addresses, and it makes finding the right recipient easier.
    Please consider bring this feature back. Thank you.

  20. Ctrl+Shift+V

    In Chrome browser on a Windows laptop, Ctrl+Shift+V usually means "paste as plain text" but when I use that in Yahoo! mail it actually sends the email (prematurely) with no way to call it back. Please make Ctrl+Shift+V paste text instead of sending the email.
