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. While working on a draft, autosave moves focus!

    While working on a draft, I think the autosave moves focus. Then you have to reclick in the draft email window and find where you left off. If you hit backspace on the draft it deletes it! I HATE THE NEW STANDARD YAHOO MAIL!!!

    We're glad you're here

  2. Email send, reply all and forward buttons

    Send button is hard to find. It will be good to have it at top as well.
    Also sometimes scrolling down the message does not go all the way down to send button, there is a problem in scrolling using track pad.
    Similarly reply all and forward buttons can be at the top as well.

  4. In Dark Mode, Text in the "To" Field Should Always be White so that it's Easier to See

    My feedback is that when the new Yahoo Mail is in Dark Mode, text in the "To" field should always be White, not black to make it easier to see. Text is already white when a sender is in the user's address book and in the subject and composition screen, it should be White in Dark Mode across the board.

  5. Send email again / "Reply Again"

    In a back and forth email conversation, I want to send a another email to the recipient but that's not a reply, it seems I want some kind of "reply again" function -- it may already do that, but it's not clear how to send a follow-up email from within an ongoing conversation.

  7. Missing the option to attach an image as an attachment from the email body

    In the old version, I could drag and drop an image onto an email I was writing, then click the "..." in the upper right corner of the image and tell Yahoo to clip it to the bottom as an attachment instead of having it as an inline image

    This option is now missing, and the only way to add an image as an attachment is to click the paperclip button at the bottom.

    Please fix.
