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!

  2. Incorrect unknown sender name displayed in Sent mail

    Yahoo Mail is displaying an incorrect, unknown sender name on messages in my Sent folder. My mailbox sending name is correct; the raw message header shows the correct sender name, and there is no matching contact saved. Please investigate stale or incorrect identity/contact-card data in the Yahoo Mail interface.

  3. typing email hitting tab sends the cursor to the send link & sends it

    you have to fix the problems of email typing & the tab key on the keyboard is not the send link for the email, you also have to put the scroll to the top back there again instead of having to continue to scroll up, maybe even be able to search via a Month & year something like that sure would be nice & you yahoo! can claim the fame with my idea & no plugarism

  4. glitching when writing new email

    When I am composing new email, every time it does a draft save, it glitches and shuts down my my message. I have to keep retrieving it from drafts. This is becoming a real pain. Please sort this out.

  5. Incorrect name permanently associated with my own email address

    Yahoo Mail persistently associates the name “Reynold Johnston” with my own email address, although I do not know anyone by that name and no such contact exists in my Yahoo Contacts.

    The incorrect name appears in autocomplete when I address an email to myself and when Yahoo Mail displays messages I send to myself. Clicking the X removes the suggestion temporarily, but it returns after Yahoo Mail is refreshed or reopened.

    My Yahoo Mail sending name is correctly set to Clement Schubert. The raw header of a test message correctly shows “From: Clement Schubert,” and recipients outside my account receive…

  8. More Space

    The new Yahoo look on laptops doesnt allow sufficient space to view emails. There is too much wasted space. The layout and UI is no efficient is space management to actually display emails.

  9. Allow me to copy and paste from Numbers while using Safari

    I have to switch to Google before opening Yahoo so I can paste information from a Numbers spreadsheet. I can't paste them when I am in Safari and working in Yahoo. It's a pain but can't find a workaround other than what I've done. I can't simply switch to Google when in Yahoo because all of my passwords are managed in an Apple app. Is there anything that I can do here?

  11. When I enter a name in the TO field of a new message, display only matching names from contacts.

    I do not want to have to search through multiple names from emails stored in my inbox, sent, trash, or any other folders (especially when the name is only in a list of others included in a group email). If I want to message someone, I should have them in my contacts or search for mail from then and reply or add them to my contacts. At least give me a setting option to choose which names get displayed.

  13. Please do not hold back outgoing emails in draft folder. Pls send the emails right away

    Hello Yahoo Support,
    I’m reaching out because I’ve had persistent problems sending emails from my Yahoo account since mid‑July 2026. Emails are either not sending, remaining in the Drafts folder indefinitely, or going missing altogether. This has caused significant disruption, and I’m concerned about potential data loss.

    I would appreciate prompt assistance from your technical team to investigate and fix this issue.
    Thank you.

  14. Missing key features in new Yahoo Mail subscription

    I had to put this under this category as no present category applies.

    I am using a MacBook Pro with the most recent OS.

    • Unable to "uncheck" previously highlighted text to remove the highlight.

    • Unable to move mail messages from one folder to another.

    • There is no "spell check" in Yahoo Mail, meaning I must copy/paste and spellcheck with MacBook Pro software and then remove the original mail content and copy/paste the MacBook Pro spellchecked version.

    I really think all of these issues should be properly addressed ASAP now that I a paying for Yahoo Mail. ( I used it…

  15. While typing email address in the "TO" field, I have not prompted with email address.

    Therefore I have to type whole email address which is prone to make mistakes.

  16. allow an option to display the full email address on the "to" field without changing it to the name in contacts.

    same as title. but after entering the email it defaults to the corresponding name in contacts. I don't want this. an option to keep the full email address, or display both, would be preferable.

  17. Why did you make yahoo mail FUBR?

    Hi!

    How can I revert to the old yahoo mail, that let's us reply on top of the message?

    Why does it bug out when replying properly at the top of the message? When replying properly at the top of the message, the paragraph or sentence get's broken and jumps down automaticly below the message that I'm replying to.

    Can you fix the issue of having to reply to message below the message that waws sent to you? Please, revert to the original replying on top of the messages, that was sent to you.

    Is there a reason for making…

  18. make default rich-text font changable

    in my yahoo mail, I can change the font style and font size in a composing mail window.
    However, if I compose mail in reply, only "modern wide" and "tiny" available. I checked the setting for writing mails, under "Default Rich-Text Font", only "modern wide" and "tiny" are the options available.
    What is going on?

  19. odd issue while typing in drafts

    I have been composing an email for the lat 30 minutes and as I am typing, the screen changes like I am hitting short cut keys. There was many times a new email draft was started, or I was asked if I was sure I wanted to delete the email, and another time the screen changed into dark mode. This is quite frustrating.
