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.

Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off
Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.

  1. 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.

    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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  6. 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?

  8. 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.

  14. It's terrible that you deleted emails due to 12 month inactivity

    I had a lot of old memories in this email account, and even though I connected my gmail account to the yahoo mail one, I was never warned that my account emails would be deleted.

    I understand the need to save disk storage, but as a user, we would never be aware of this deletion policy on our own. Unfortunately, a lot of old childhood emails that I have with family and friends are now gone.

  15. Give us the option to let you block all emails you mark as Spam.

    Give us the option to let you block all emails that you mark as Spam or increase the number that we can block from 1000 to unlimited. I have received more Spam emails on my Yahoo account in the past few months than I have in the past twenty-five years. I hate to give in to the spammers and change my email address but if this continues, I may have to.

  17. sort by size

    Unbelievable that you don't have option to sort by size. Trying to help my mother reduce their inbox size and you make it impossible. How are you all soo much worse than gmail? The spam filter is HORRIBLE. I just wish they never started using yahoo and they could switch to gmail.

    Please get your act together.

  18. Emails

    One idea to improve the system and service, would be for Yahoo to NOT delete 3 years of my emails and then make it only possible for me to retrieve the last 7 days. Thanks Yahoo!!!

  20. Spam block

    It seems that the 'block sender' option has been removed from the spam emails that have been received by users. Is this in a different spot or is this feature removed? Decluttering an email inbox is important to only getting relevant mail.
