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.
Right Hand Column - Ability to minimize: Contacts, Starred, More (Currently for Yahoo Mail Plus subscribers)


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. Deleting in box

    BRING BACK the old version to delete, Yahoo states I have over 5,000 of unread from inbox, I do not the new version, I do not like the new version, I do not want to pay to get rid of my 5,000 message. Show how? Ignoring this issue is annoying. Want to delete all my unwanted message, fix the problem, Yahoo.

  2. deleting open messages

    With a message opened, I don't see a way to delete it other than closing the message and deleting it from the list of messages. Very cumbersome.

    Am I missing something?

  9. Delete

    I spent an inordinate amount of time deleting e-mails from my inbox under the "all" category. Now, I find that these same e-mails that I deleted from ALL are still appearing in my inbox under "priority". Your new e-mail system is a abominable. Whoever designed this system is completely lacking in common sense.

  11. Reduce clicks to delete all

    Reduce the clicks to empty my inbox. In Gmail, I can first click the "All" button to highlight all messages, and then click "Delete". A total of 2 clicks. In Yahoo mail, I first have to click a message, only then can I click "All", and then click "Delete". Three clicks are needed in Yahoo as opposed to 2 clicks in GMail.

  13. Update and/or return to the old method of deleting in bulk

    I cannot stand that you lost the option to check all unread at the top so I can delete the ones I don't need. Please bring it back or I will migrate everything to GMAIL.

  14. select multiple messages

    I used to be able to select a range of emails to delete by using the shift button. I don't want to select every email on the page, maybe just the first 10. I don't want to have to click each one individually.

  16. delete requires moving cursor off emails in sequence

    It seems now (this seems to be a new problem, not present in the new Yahoo Mail before a couple days ago) that to delete emails out of your inbox in sequence - delete, then delete the next message that moves up - you need to move the cursor off and move it back on again to get the trash can icon to appear. This is annoying and prevents rapid deleting of emails. Using the latest version of Firefox.

  17. Why does email list on left go back to the top (most recent email) after I delete an email?

    Why when I delete an email, my email list on the left goes back to my most recent email. I want to go down each email look at it then determine if I want to delete individual emails. I don't want the email list to go back to the most recent. I sometimes want to go through a hundred of emails to review and delete. The email list always before stayed where I last left off after each delete. Either fix this problem or or let me go back to the old format which I have been using for years.

  18. deleting multiple e-mails from inbox

    I really miss the ability to delete multiple e-mails from the inbox. Please bring back the ability to delete inbox e-mails 100 at a time. Once again, I am going to say how much I HATE the new e-mail. In addition to the inability to delete multiple e-mails, there is the issue of the misleading, unnecessary, absurd summaries. I see that you claim that the ability to disable summaries is coming soon. I do hope it comes before I finish switching my e-mail to google.

  20. Select All

    Bring back the select all button. With the new format it has disappeared. If I can't mass delete, my account will be deleted instead. Don't have the time to individually select hundreds of messages.
