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.

  1. 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.

  3. Undo Send

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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!

  6. 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…

  7. 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).

  9. 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.

  10. 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!

  11. 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.

  15. Quit using AI.

    Quit using Documents in Drafts go back to Attachments in Drafts. AI is making it more difficult not easier. Eventually more people are going to see what I'm talking about especially those that like easy not complicated.

  18. Contact List

    where can I create a list of contacts? I don't find anywhere in this format (using Edge) for contacts. The old layout was so much easier to use and navigate. This is horrible. How can I switch to the old format?
