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.

  2. Michael Lorrey

    The bulk delete of all messages in a folder is not functioning, even though it says it is. To solve this I looked for a tool to delete the entire "facebook" folder, which has nearly 480,000 emails in it, so I can get my total memory usage down within the 20GB limit, but there does not seem to be a tool to delete a folder from the folder list. Since the bulk delete is not functioning, you have to scroll down repeatedly to load more emails in the screen, so the most you can delete at once is about 1,100…

  3. How about not deleting decades of history

    Imagine a world where there are RNA programming injections, self-driving cars, satellites, rocket ships, and yet we have e-mail boxes that delete your entire history (inbox, sent, saved) mail because you didn't log in for a year. How antiquated, and laughable that company would be.

  4. Bulk Delete is freezing my page

    Bulk Delete of Trash and Spam is freezing up my page. It has a serious lag with the newer update. Freezing bulk delete has even caused my personal folder to clear out. When I thought the Trash was deleted already, I opened my personal folder, only to have the lag catch up then freeze my page while my personal folder was open. The screen goes grey and a pop up says it was emptying the trash and it took my personal folder items with it. Please fix this lag.

    Hi Lynn, next time this happens, can you please send us a screen recording? Especially if you can reproduce the freezing each time. Also browser and browser info would be great, so we can try and replicate the issue. Please send this to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Thanks!

  5. I dont see I have used over 25gb of space by adding everything in all my folders but it shows I have maxed my space.

  6. Deleting emails

    Why do I have to tap twice on an email to delete it? Half the time I open it and I have to go back. Very annoying and time consuming.

  8. Allow users to block more than 3 sender domains

    I need the ability to block more than 3 sender domains. I am dealing with one persistent spam campaign that constantly rotates sender addresses and domains, making the current 3-domain limit ineffective. I would like Yahoo Mail to allow users to block more domains, ideally at least 20–50 domains, so persistent spammers can be effectively stopped instead of having their messages continuously fill the Spam folder.

  9. After selecting emails and marking them as read or unread, emails are unselected automatically.

    After selecting emails and marking them as read or unread, they are automatically deselected. This necessitates reselection of the same emails to delete them. The automatic unselection is problematic and should be changed.

  10. New system has been deleting older emails, can we change this?

    I had old emails that just were gone one day a few weeks ago when I got into my email account, with the new "keep your emails up to date" it's deleting emails automatically, why?? As of now anything I had before July 13th 2026 are gone, I didn't delete them the yahoo system did. Can we please look into this and change it, I hold onto some emails for a long period of time if there is something I may need to check or get back to. Thanks

    One change you'll see is a new feature called Inbox Categories. So you'll see at the top of your Inbox, your emails are now organized in Categories. If you're not seeing all your emails, it might be because you're in the Priority tab. Please go to your "All" tab so you can see all your emails. Thanks.

  11. Auto delete idea

    2 suggestions.
    1- I would like to change my trash auto delete from 7 days to 30 days.
    2- I would love to be able to set my categories separately to delete after specific time. for example, all "offers" should auto delete after 30 days (because they are probably expired by then anyways).

  13. for multiple selection, don't increase the # before the last message is shown

    when you choose multiple selection, it will first select let's say 50 messages out of hundreds. when you scroll down to check the messages that are selected, before you can verifty the 50th message, it automatically adds another 25 to the selection. you scroll down to check the 75th message and before you can do so, it adds another 25 to the selection. Please either make it so that it doesn't automatically add messages or make it so that one can check the last selected message before automatically adding additional messages to multiple selection.

  14. Get Rid of Unwanted Contacts

  19. Currently it has the option to delete all your deleted messages in one go which that does not work it will not delete 60 odd thousand emails

    Currently it has the option to delete all your deleted messages in one go which that does not work it will not delete 60 odd thousand emails but then comes to the point of why exactly does it even have that many in the deleted folder when the deleted folder says it deletes emails after 7 days yet look here is emails dating back yrs still sitting here meanwhile at the top it says above all this these emails will delete automatically after 7 days yet they dont. Then you guys have the audacity to tell a person they are…

  20. Undo for message delete like ^Z

    sometimes I delete a message by accident. I can restore it from Trash, but it would be nice for an UNDO like ^Z to work to restore the last deleted message.
