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.

  1. Filters

    Your filters are not effective it seems, in seeing a particular CC in an incoming mail, to conduct the action.
    If a group leader sends a CC-all, and I put someone who's in that group as the "if a CC from *** is in mail, then delete",
    It still does not delete.

    Cox had where you could put if "CC" was three specific other addresses, it would delete that, but keep only keep if two other addresses were in the "to". That would take maybe 10 Yahoo filters to do that.

    Let's see some "if", "and", "contains". "doesn't contain" ,…

  6. Bug in Block & Delete spam emails

    Hi Yahoo,

    There is a bug in the spam box, previously users could select multiple mails at and block the senders, additionally the user could also choose to select to delete all the existing mails from the sender while blocking them. However, since last few weeks the emails don't get deleted from the mailbox even after checking the box to delete the existing emails sent by the blocked sender.

  8. Improve spam filtering accuracy and allow unlimited domain blocking

    Yahoo Mail’s spam filtering needs to become more reliable. A particularly serious problem is that legitimate emails are sometimes incorrectly sent to the Spam folder. This means users can miss important messages because they cannot confidently rely on the Spam folder to contain only unwanted mail.

    At the same time, users dealing with persistent spam and scam campaigns need better tools to control what reaches their mailbox. Yahoo should allow all users to block an unlimited number of sender domains, rather than imposing a very small limit.

    Better spam filtering combined with unlimited domain blocking would give users much more…

  12. Allow for Bulk Deletion of Old Unread Emails

    Please allow for bulk deleting. If I search for all unread messages older than 1/1/2020, for instance, I will get over 59,000 messages!! If I then select all of those messages and try to delete them your system will not delete them. This is nuts!! Why can't you make this happen?

  13. Can not restore accidentally deleted Email

    I am writing to express my extreme frustration with a severe design flaw in Yahoo Mail.I accidentally deleted a draft, and your system completely wiped out my entire associated email chain. To make matters worse, the email trail is completely missing from my Trash, Spam, and Sent folders. It has vanished entirely. Because of this terrible workflow glitch, I had to completely redo all of my work from scratch.Furthermore, your "Restore Email" functionality is completely dysfunctional and failed to recover anything.Yahoo needs to step out of the Windows XP era and start operating like a modern, robust platform. There is…

  15. Bug? Confirmation prompt missing when deleting messages (very risky!)

    The following behavior occurs in all folders, and this may very well be an unintentional bug or design flaw/oversight:

    Clicking the "Delete" trashcan menu icon when selecting multiple messages (as well as clicking the "Delete" trashcan icon next to a single, individual message) will produce a confirmation/warning prompt as is normally expected and industry-standard.

    However, pressing the Delete key on the physical keyboard does not produce a confirmation/warning prompt; the delete action simply goes through. Considering there is no Undo option after completing said action, this is extremely risky! This is especially undesirable in Spam and Trash, where pushing the…

  20. 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…
