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.

    The best way to get rid of spam is to mark as spam, not delete or block! This helps with your spam filters and does exactly what blocking does, prevents that email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam! It is free and part of regular Yahoo Mail. Thanks!

  3. I have someone else's name appearing under my e-mail

    I have someone else's name appearing under my e-mail. I have deleted and re-entered my name several times but when I compose an email or send an e-mail, their name still appears. Should I close/delete my account?

  6. Ask if I want to save as a draft

    Why does EVERYTHING save as a draft no matter what? I have so many drafts that have nothing in them, or are obsolete, because I closed them, not wanting to send an email, but was never asked if I wanted to save it as a draft. That really needs to be a function. I click the X on a new email, it should ask if I want to save it as a draft or not.

  7. comments

    You keep rejecting my comments on news stories automatically. WHY? My comments are not offensive, just observations. You rejected 4 consecutive comments consisting of only one word each at 5:32 p.m. today, EST, for NO REASON! WHY? The word were What, Why, When, and Where.

  8. Add stationery

    Can we get the stationery back. We loved the Yahoo stationery. My friends mom is house bound and she used to love to get emails with the Yahoo stationery. It really brightened up her day.

  9. Cannot scroll to the send button

    Problem: When composing, the page will not scroll down to the "send" button any longer on any browser that I have. I have to make the zoom very small to get to the send button. I have bad eyes and cannot use my email that way. (PC, Windows 11)

    Solution: Either put a "send" button at the top like there used to be on older versions or fix the scrolling issue.

  10. backspace deletes emails that are being replied to

    When I try to reply to an email and I hit the back space, at all, it deletes the entire email. I just hit the back space on a very important thread of emails and it permanently deleted the entire string of emails I have been trying to work out a return for an expensive product for. When an email is in my inbox, it will automatically send it to the trash folder and exit the email if I press the back space and it does this without warning. the reply function/forward seems very buggy and there was also an…

  11. turn off writing assist

    Give the ability to turn "ai writing assist" off. It takes up too much space on the phone app, you hit it accidentally, and I will NEVER use it. NEVER.

    Thanks

  12. Fix the "recent emoticon" option.

    When I want to select an emoticon, the recent ones are not available. I have to type into the search to find the icons that I usually use. Why is the clock indicating "recent" not working?
    I did an experiment. I searched for two icons and saw the "recents" until I closed the icon selection box. When I opened it a second later, the recents were forgotten.

  13. drafts appearing in inbox

    1. compose a message.
    2. X out of it. RESULT: after a few moments, the message appears in your Inbox. It does not appear in your drafts. EXPECT: It should appear in drafts and not in Inbox.

    Sometimes multiple intermediate drafts appear in your inbox.

  15. BUG: Editing Draft Messages is Perilous

    I have started using the the new Yahoo Mail. When ever I attempt to edit an existing Draft message, I am "bounced" out of the message every few seconds. When the "bounce" occurs, I have to retrieve the message from the draft folder and carry on from where the interruption occurred. In happened to me 7 times today during the edit of a short email. Recently a longer edit to another draft email was completely deleted. Does this happen due to an inadvertent keystroke entry or is it some type of timed auto-save feature?? Regardless, it is a complete pain.…

  16. Storage Used

    It's kind of ****** that you changed the amount of free storage and made it next to impossible to find out how much storage I'm actually using. AND you give the hard sell on buying more storage. Just one of many reasons most people have switched to Gmail.

  17. no

    First off, shoving AI in everything continues to be wildly stupid and against the wishes of users. Not to mention an ecological nightmare.

    Secondly, if someone changes the NAME on their account, it should default to changing the name in their sent email headers. It's insane that you have to dig into the settings for this, and you have no reason to believe that it WOULDNT do this. I used this mail to try and be anonymous, and you made me send an "anonymous" email with my full first and last name in the header. Terrible design.

  20. Certain emails not showing up on the New Yahoo Mail

    Hello, After switching to the New Version as of yesterday Feb 26, certain emails are not showing up when I open Yahoo Mail on my PC or Chromebook. I was able to discover this discrepancy only because the Yahoo Mail on my phone is still on the Old version. This is very serious - please address this ASAP because I wouldn't know who is sending my important emails if they do not show up on the new Yahoo Mail.
