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. Bulk Delete

    I've looked (repeatedly over a period of months/years) for a way to mass-delete a meaningful number of emails. For instance: all emails prior to 2022 with an attachment larger than 100k

  4. By getting all the mail we blocked before. We block emails and then we get even more spam emails than we had before

    Be able to delete or block these emails permanently instead of blocking them and them next time we log in we have even more spam than we did before we blocked them. I blocked 14 on my mail list and 10 on my spam list. Today I have 29 spam and 25 on my mail list...........

  5. Why can't I delete groups of emails to the trash?

    This is NOT a new idea. In fact, this is about not being able to select groups of emails and send them to the trash - something I USED TO BE ABLE TO DO. What 's going on?????

    Hi Barbara, we definitely do not just delete emails, but seems like there might be a bug. Our Inbox is in categories, can you make sure you're looking at the All category as it defaults to Primary? Also, are your emails automatically going into the Trash? If so, that's a sign your account might have been compromised and we recommend changing your password and checking your Filters under Settings.

  7. Bulk Delete

    I'd love to delete every single unread email from my account bu even with the bulk delete function it will take forever, as it only selects all the emails on the screen, and I have to scroll down, wait till it loads, scroll down, wait till it loads, and so on and so fourth. I'd love a setting where I could just go in and select every single unread email going back to when my account was opened and be able to delete all.

    Hi David, you can go to Unread in the left hand navigation and once you tap on a checkbox, a new one will appear. Once you Select All and then Delete All, it will also allow you to delete it all.. more than 50 at a time. Thanks!

  8. Allow users to sort inbox by sender.

    This allows user to delete, in bulk, emails that are not wanted.

    Hi James, thanks for your feedback. Yes, we do have sort by sender still, but just like the old version, you need to disable Conversation view. You cannot sort by sender when that is enabled. Once you disable that under Settings, you will see "Senders Name" as a sorting option.

    Hi Krissy, yes you can still bulk delete! Just hover over any email and you'll see a checkbox show up to the left of the email. From there you can bulk delete, or a checkbox will appear at the very top. From that you can Select All and then Delete All.

  11. Give the sender 30 seconds to undo the sent email

    I sent an email today and forgot to attach a document. I had to resend the entire email. I was a little embarrassed by this. It would be good if I could have a few seconds after pressing send to undo and attach the document or make corrections. Thank you!

  12. Better deleting method

    You need to add a way to be able to delete the entire box. It is time consuming to delete thousands of messages when you can only select 100 at a time.

    Hi John, you can select all and delete all. Looking at your Inbox, you can Select All and as you're deleting the 100, a floating bar will appear and ask if you want to delete all your emails. Thanks!

  13. I need select all option

    I have thousands of unnecessary emails bogging down my email account. There is no simple effective way to delete all this. If you would give me a select all at the top of a page, then I could get rid of all this garbage. Most of it is junk I really don't want. I spend hours it seems trying to unsubscribe but they just keep coming. Help me! I'm drowning!
    Simplify my email clean up options PLEASE!!!!

  14. Fix a bug which should never ever be release by any decent software team

    When deleting a working copy in a conversation, you're deleting the entire thread.
    It's a critical bug. And it persist for days if not weeks. Repair it ASAP. Fix your wokflows. Such bug should never happen.
    Restore my deleted threads for bcharuza@yahoo.com

    Hi Bartosz, there is no bug! The delete/trash icon at the top is for the whole thread. If you want to delete individual emails from a Conversation thread, just tap on the three dots to the right (...). There you can delete individual/single emails.

    Last, you can save accidentally deleted emails from your Trash folder for up to 7 days. Thanks!

    HI Sherry, you can! When you click on the checkbox to delete, it will select 100 emails at one time, but a floater bar will appear at the top of your Inbox asking if you want to delete ALL your emails.

  16. Deleting several emails

    I used to be able to delete numerous emails with selecting a box at top of inbox. It is now gone, emails have to be deleted one at a time. Please return this feature.

    Hi Bre, we have not taken away that checkbox. We are seeing it just fine. To see it, just click on any checkbox and a new one will appear at the very top.

    And if you disable Inbox Categories, and go back to having just one Inbox, the checkbox always appears at the very top. Thanks!

  17. Setting Email Senders to timed delete

    It would be great to have emails self delete after a certain amount of time. The user could choose an option to have emails from a specific sender self-delete after 30, 60, or 90 days. For example, I get newsletters weekly. I read through them sometimes, but there are other times I am unable to read them in time so the newsletter is no longer current. By designating this particular sender's emails to self-delete after 30 days, this would also passively manage my inbox.

    Hi AP, this would certainly help your use case, yes, but a majority of our community would not go for this. Most like to have control of their Inbox. We will share your feedback with the team, but we currently have no plans in adding this at this time. Thanks!

    Hi Sheryl, there are many ways to delete fast!

    You can tap on any checkbox and a new checkbox will appear at the very top. You can select all and then delete all. You can sort and then delete by sender by tapping on the sender's logo/avatars in one of their messages.

    You can also go to the cloud icon in the left hand column which will take you to your Manage Storage page. From there we provide more deleting tools. Thanks!

  19. Way to eliminate the folders on folders' lists.

    I would be good, if you would provide a way to delete folders we create, but that we don't need anymore. Only the content of the folder can be deleted. But not the face of the folder with the name we assign to it, on the list of folders. . I tried to look for a way, but could not find a way. It only gives me the option to save, reload, and such. No way to delete it. It's quite annoying. to have a folder we don't use anymore, and no way to delete it from folders lists.

    You can delete a folder. If you hover over the folder, three dots will appear to the right of the folder. Click on those dots and you'll see Delete Folder as an option. We have provided a screenshot below.

  20. Add the delete all ability back. I am about to abandon this email because its so overrun and I cannot clear it out.

    Add the delete all ability back. I am about to abandon this email because its so overrun and I cannot clear it out. You used to have the ability to mass delete and for some reason took it away. This was a bad idea.
