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!


WHAT'S NEW?
Search by Sender - Just hover over the sender's profile image and a spyglass icon will appear where you can search all emails by that sender.
Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off
Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.
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.



COMING SOON!
Differentiate Unread v. Read - Better ways to see the difference.
Resize Images - Resize an image within the message.
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:
Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.
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.

  1. Attaching Word docs.

    Why when I attach a Word docx in normal typeface - it always transmits in ITALICS ?!?!?!?!?

    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!!

  2. 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.

  4. Undo Send

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

  5. 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.

  6. 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!

  7. 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!!

  8. I'd like to send emails

    So after I type in an email address, a subject, and some body content, I would like to be able to hit send, and then the email sends to the email address I entered, and then the person with access to that email can open up their inbox, and see what I sent them.

    That would be really cool.

    Hi Greg, yes we agree and that's how Yahoo Mail works! We have no issues doing this! IF you are having any trouble, it would be helpful for you to tell us what issues you are running into? Thanks!

  9. making email work normally?

    Why is there a line half way down the left side of my emails? It's creating a "pasted paragraph" look on new messages?

    I CC myself on these message and my version shows this line. My sent items show the same but if I foward it, it's not there before sending. Why are they not all the same? How do I know which version the recepient is recieving?

    Why do I have to contact you so much about sending an email??? It's email, not new technology, but somehow you seem to make it so difficult.

    Can you send me instructions…

  10. You removed subject line autocomplete/history. It was a key productivity feature. Now users need extra steps for something that used to take

    You removed subject line autocomplete/history.
    It was a key productivity feature.
    Now users need extra steps for something that used to take one.
    Please restore subject suggestions while typing.

    Hi Barry, you can go to your Contacts on your Desktop. Looking at your Inbox, on the top right hand side, you'll see Starred, Contacts and More. Clicking on Contacts will take you to your Contacts. Thanks!

  12. send button not visible

    The send button is not visible when scrolling down to the bottom of the page when using zoom larger than 100%. This makes Yahoo mail very difficult to use for people who need to see larger characters. This is a problem on both the Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome browsers. It would be nice if buttons were always visible at the bottom (outside of the scroll area).

  13. I do not want AI

    I do not want AI writing things, summarizing things, editing things, etc. I want the option to turn it off.

    It does not do things correctly and I do not want it. Remove it please.

    We encourage you to read at the top of the Uservoice header (forum). There we provide What’s New, Coming Soon and some Tips. There we mention how to disable AI Summaries. Definitely read those as we update them with useful information. Thanks!

  15. sizing down a photo to email

    When copying and pasting a photo from another site to an email, please return the little three dots in the upper right corner so that I can size down the photo, like I used to be able to do.

  16. Responding to email thread is too difficult - too much scrolling

    When I respond to an email thread, often the portion of the email that I'm typing in is not in the composing window and I have to scroll multiple times to compose even a short email response. Also, I find it hard to access the emojis when responding on an email thread. Otherwise, I like the interface. Thanks for your help!

  17. Introduce schedule mail

    Namaskar, I've been using it for a long time, and I'm happy to be a Yahoo user. Now, I would like to request adding a feature like scheduled send mail, as it would be very helpful for users who rely on their mail for personal and official correspondence.

    I hope I'll soon get a new update on my feedback.

    Thank you.
