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?
AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off
Reply/Forward Icons - You can see the arrow icons when you've replied or forwarded to a message.
Up/Down Arrow, Scrolls Now - In full message view, not preview pane.
Sender's Email Address - You don't have to open the email to see the sender's email address. Just hover over the sender's name from your Inbox. 
Search Results Will Show Folder - Now when you do a search, where the emails are located will show up.


COMING SOON!
Total Number of Emails - See total number and not just unread messages.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.

TIPS:
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.
Drag and drop messages to folders - Just click and hold on an email message, then drag and drop that message into a different folder.

  1. Automatically show editable "Subject" lines when replying/forwarding an email

    When replying/forwarding an email I can't edit the subject line or CC/BCC lines without having to click a little arrow next to the "to" line and selecting "edit subject" or "edit BCC and CC".

    It's confusing when the subject line is already large and bold at the top of the email, but I can't click on it to edit. Instead I have to go hunting around for how to edit it.

  2. Ability to select a sender for forwarding emails from selected sender

    Allow forwarding only emails originally sent by a selected sender. Gmail has this function. I want to forward only emails that I receive from my insurance company; I want to forward those to my wife’s gmail account. Now I have to do this in reverse; I have the emails sent to my wife’s gmail account, and from gmail I forward them to yahoo.

  5. forwarding to pop mail like outlook

    I have been using MS Outlook for 20 years using pop mail from Yahoo. I have about 40 folders with 20 year old important emails and 100 email contacts when I read an email I want it to stay visible unless I file it in a subfolder or delete it. I don't want an email to disappear when I delete it. I will move emails to delete forever. Yahoo Mail is a poor substitute. I have 40 years and 7.5G of important emails on my laptop

    I phone yahoo and had a very rude young guy. I need pop mail…

  7. create customized permanent email address

    I'm trying to figure out: 1. how to create a new customized email address that doesn't have @yahoo.com at the end; 2. be able to forward emails sent from the old islandcandleschs@yahoo.com email address to the new inbox for the new custom email address created. thank you that worked. that's all for now. I contacted a help agent after signing up for Yahoo+ thinking it was a feature (like Google's subscription plan offers). She told me to submit a request for this feature to be added here. As a business owner, this would be a very helpful tool.

  8. Pop out window for reply

    Can we get a pop out window for replies to inbox emails? Or could the reply be pinned to the top / most recent post? My reply keeps getting buried and I can;t find the thread again if I go to attach a file, and this has resulted in a disruption of business emails, with either no reply sent or reply sent twice, or double attachments. It is diffucult to tell which email in the thread I am replying to, or to include just one of several recipients. About to switch to gmail!

  9. keep emails from same person separated

    Reply / forward - keep emails separated. They are all jumbled together and nothing is in order. Hate this format of email. And show them all - no one knows what I prioritize but me.

  12. Auto Fill in Email

    I absolutely HATE the autofill feature when trying to write in the email when replying / forwarding emails. It totally replaces what I'm trying to write with completely nonsensical information.

  14. Expand email filter functionalities

    Hi,

    Would it be possible to consider adding more filter rules to inboxes? Moving emails to other folders is great and all, but it would be even better f we could have other features such as auto-marking emails as read, auto-forwarding emails based on the filter rules, etc.

    Most other email providers (Outlook, GMail) already have these features and more set in place.

    Thanks,

    André

  15. Tabbing to next option or field is in wrong order

    When I forward an email, it starts my cursor in the To field. But when I hit tab -- expecting to go to the body of the message -- it goes to CC and BCC but then goes to the Yahoo Mail logo in the left corner. Next it goes to Search, Advanced, etc. It should go to the body as that would be my most likely next area I want to type.

    I do not like that the e-mail is attached to a previous e-mail, even with a different subject. It confuses the recipient. And sometimes he can not find the attachment
