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.

  3. Give back the ability to block spam emails

    I am sick and tired of getting over 5-+ emails a day in spam - there used to be a way to block these senders but when you upgraded that went away! I am seriously thinking of just getting rid of Yahoo completely.

  5. increase Blocked emails

    your 1000 Blocked email limit is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to low and needs to be significantly increased. I reach that limit every few months-

    you also need to better your own way to prevent these obvious spam emails from even reaching my Inbox or Spam file

  6. Delete spam mail from blocked senders

    Delete spam mail from blocked senders. Yahoo has been failing to delete spam messages after user blocks the senders. User must manually delete spam messages after Yahoo fails to delete them.

  9. How do I add JUST A DOMAIN NAME to the blocked senders list? I receive lots of SPAM emails from the same domain names day in and day out.

    How do I add JUST A DOMAIN NAME to the blocked senders list? I receive lots of SPAM emails from the same domain names day in and day out. Whoever is sending these SPAM emails changes the first part of the address each time and they don't reuse them while the domain name stays the same. Being able to block SPAM messages simply by domain name would be a big help.

    You can do this actually! You can sort by sender (disable conversation view under Settings) and then click on any checkbox. From there, a new checkbox will appear and you can select all and then delete all. It will delete more than 50, a floating bar will appear in the top, middle and there you'll see delete all ### emails.

  11. Block Unwanted Emails

  12. Don't delete people's emails without notifying them

    At the very least you should contact their backup emails. It makes me sick knowing all my communication with lost friends, family and my Grandma are just gone.

    If your account has had no activity for 365 days, then the account is deactivated. We communicate this a few times which includes sending you an email to your alternative email account, so make sure that is updated. If you need help reinstating, contact our CC team at help.yahoo.com. They have the tools to help with these issues. Hope this helps!


  13. BLOCK certain name

    find a way to block certain NAMES. I keep getting repeated emails from certain names with different email addresses and it's impossible to filter them out as they come from different email addresses. Names should be an option, not just email addresses.

  15. Bug: Deleting a draft deletes entire conversation email thread

    When I delete a single draft email within a conversation email thread, the entire email thread is permanently deleted instead of just the draft. This is a serious data loss issue. Drafts should be treated as separate items within a thread and not control the existence of the entire conversation. Please fix this behavior immediately in Yahoo! Mail.

  16. improve "delete" function

    When I want to clean up the "Newsletters", I go into newsletters, select all, and delete. Then to my horror, I find ALL emails in all the other sections are also deleted, and no way to "undo" it.
    Here's a crazy idea: how about making "select all" apply to ONLY the category we are actually in, not to the entire emails for all time. Doesn't that make sense? If I want to clean out "Offers", why in God's name would I want to also clean out all my "Primary" emails? Geez, people, use use some common sense.

  17. FREE UP SPACE

    HOW ABOUT WHEN I DELETE A MILLION THINGS LIKE I HAVE DONE, YOU GIVE ME BACK MY STORAGE! THIS MUST BE A SCAM! I DELETED SO MUCH AND YET I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO STORAGE AT ALL NOW. MAKE THIS MAKE SENSE....I'M NOT PAYING FOR EXTRA STORAGE.

  18. Quick view emails "catch up"

    I got a pop-up to try a new quick email viewer that lets me save or delete emails, and I loved it. I've been searching on my phone and my computer for the button to use it again, but I haven't seen it. Can you also make it save emails to folders and add an easy-to-click option on the home page?

  20. Allow an unlimited number of blocks

    Need to allow users to block all the addresses they want. It seems 1000 is the magic number. I don't want to see erection, sex, or ED medicine emails.
