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. Where is my contacts list? It has disappeared.

    My contacts list has disappeared. How do I get it back?

    Why do you change things and make them worse than before?

    Stop making nonsense changes.

    Hi Katelind, thanks for your feedback! Looking at your Inbox, on the top right hand side (above the ad) you'll see Starred, Contacts and More. Just click on Contacts and from there you can manage them. Hope this helps!

  2. Formatting incorrect when bullet points used

    I have received a few emails where people have either used bulleted lists or either copied and pasted bullet items from a word foc and the formatting in the email is all over the place.

    Items overlap and it is not clear to see where bullet points begin and end. It is like they are showing in a columnar table format rather than a bulleted list. The text overlaps the bullet points and it is almost impossible to discern which text belongs to which point. I can provide screenshots.

    Hi Laura,


    Thanks for your feedback. We actually tried replicating the issue above and couldn't. If you still can, can you please send us screenshots, videos anything so we can see what's happening. Please send along browser and browser version to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Thanks!

  3. Fix Crashing after Scheduling a Future Email

    Fix the new Yahoo Mail so that it does not cause the Microsoft Edge browser to crash after scheduling a future email. Yesterday I scheduled an email to be sent to myself on January 15, 2026 (due date for federal estimated tax payment). Now the Microsoft Edge browser (updated on Windows 10) crashes soon after I start using it as the only tab. It's probably running out of memory. Use less memory.

  4. Access in other countries

    I have been using my yahoo.com email for some years and now I have run out of space. I don't want to delete my old emails rather upgrade to more space. In trying to do so the system does not allow me to since it is locked on United State only and I am in South Africa. Does yahoo.com now only available to United State only?

  5. Font customization - color, bold, italic, sizing

    Yahoo basic mail ,simplified version of Yahoo Mail, could use some more complex features, such as:

    Themes
    Formatting toolbar
    Drag and drop attachments or GIFs

    Especially font options like size, color, bold, italics. Thank you.

    Yes, you can do this... in your Inbox, once you Compose or Reply, at the bottom you'll see a toolbar, if you don't see it scroll down a bit if you're in Conversation mode. You'll see all that you listed above including clicking on "..." (three dots) for more options.

  6. Unable to close tabs

    Hi Yahoo Developers, My tab bar at the top of the compose (or read) screen shows countless tabs for a recent search I did. I am unable to close any of the tabs as there is no 'x' on them. They are moving a screen width and a half to the right. It's a poor UX. Could you please fix this quickly. I'm tempted to go straight back to the old Yahoo mail UI. Thanks.

  7. Fake email in my name

    From: "Alecia Thompson" sat.i@itwise.es this is not my email address as someone is pretending to be me ! Please fix this! Also my real email still displays my prior last name as Taylor when sending any correspondences, It should read Alecia Perry-Thompson?

  8. HTML format not preserved when forwarding an email

    HTML emails are being forwarded as text only. This works fine from phone app (Android), but fails from web browser (Both firefox and Chrome).

  9. List of addresses and address groups

    I miss the ability to look at the list of addresses of people to whom I send emails. Under the Comcast system, I could scan the entire list, but that function apparently doesn't exist with Yahoo mail. I view this as a serious flaw in the Yahoo mail system.

    Also I had a number of regularly used address groups under the Comcast system. But again that function didn't transfer over to Yahoo mail. I view this as a serious flaw in the Yahoo mail system.

    A response on both of these concerns would be greatly appreciated.

  11. Draft Email Subject Line Too Short

    The "Drafts" folder of the new email doesn't show enough of the email title. Example: I save email drafts numbered from 1 -100 so I can know which one to send out the next day, but with install of the new email, I can only see 1 character in the daft subject line. Please make it where we can see more in the subject line of draft emails.

  13. Email Address Lookup

    When you select a person to email you should be able to right click on the name and either see the email address or copy the email address. Now it just goes between texts and listing other possible email addresses. Just give me the email address... I don't need the name... I need to see the address. Especially today when people have multiple email addresses, seeing the name means nothing.

    Hi Glenda, if this is still happening, can you send us a video of what you're seeing? Along with browser and browser version? That would be super helpful. Please send to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Thank you!!

  15. Old Mail Features

    I wished you would bring back Stationary in the email and the option to pin messages at the top of my inbox. I also was not pleased that you dropped the storage limit from 1TB to 20 GB thats a huge drop. Then you act like it was done for our benefit. It would also be nice to have a button to insert pictures instead of having to copy and paste or drag and drop from from a folder somewhere. Many times, when you do that it inserts several copies of the same picture. Very screwy.

    Google has an option to undo the send option. That would be very beneficial for Yahoo.

  18. Allow users of the original Yahoo Mail to adjust font size and style

    For those of us who prefer the old Yahoo Mail layout, please restore the ability to change font size and style. The inbox shows the correct font, but when I go to compose, the font is very small.

  19. The layout of the historical message chain is very confusing - such a nightmare to find the right email on a chronicle basis...

    The mails will get stuck together with no logical order. Also, it hard to delete a specific email cause the delete will erase the entire email chain. Such a nightmare!

  20. Make email addresses visible when hovering over the name in the "TO" section

    The New Mail does not allow me to see the actual email addresses of people I'm writing to. Annoying, since some people have several and if I want to see an email address now I have to go to contacts.

    Hi Fran, yes we do allow this! When you hover with your mouse over the sender's name, a small window will appear showing you the entire email address. The same can be done when opening an email. Hope this helps!!
