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.




Thank you! 💜

    This is the norm for us and many email clients. We have no plans in changing the auto delete Trash folder after 7 days. If this is an issue, we recommend you Archive your emails instead of deleting.

    As for "Streaks" yes we did launch this fun new feature, but you do not have to participate. You can disable it by going to More > Your Streaks.

  3. put back the box to check all for deletion or partial, etc

    or can just switch me back to the classic because it was easier to use.

    Please make sure you are marking these emails as spam instead of just deleting. Also, if they are newsletters please make sure you unsubscribe from these. We will also share this with our anti-spam team. Thank you!

  5. Get rid of this new garbage format

    With the new format there's NO WAY to edit or delete contacts that I can find. I HATE this format. Tempted to switch to Gmail and get rid of this garbage email. Why did you find the need to change something that was working and users were HAPPY WITH ????????????????????????? Don't justify with "just because"

  6. Never remove ability to block designated emails as spam and for ever block sender

    Deleting is worse less if senders can not be designated as spam an for ever blocked from ones account. Why did you delete spam designation from the drop down window. Are you getting a cut on the take of the spammers stealing your customers identities?

    Are these legit junk emails or newsletter/promotional type emails from stores, etc? Big difference. For legit spammy emails, please "mark as spam" instead of deleting. For other coupon/promotional type emails like from stores, unsubscribe, at one point (even if you don't remember) you subscribed to these emails. Hope this helps!

  7. Stupid streak ****

    I DO NOT CARE ABOUT SOME STUPID STREAK!!! DELETE MY EMAILS!!! I set all emails to be deleted, it deletes 50, scroll down select 1000, it deletes 100, WHAT A PATHETIC JOKE!

    Yes, we launched a fun way to reward our users for reading and organizing your emails, but you do not have to participate (not forced). Friendly reminder to always check your Settings. You can disable Streaks by going to the three dots "..." in the left hand navigation and then Your Streaks. Thanks.

  8. Making deleting less complicated

    I don’t like your new format. It takes too long to select then check each one you want to delete.

  9. deleting emails one by one is insane

    the fact that there is no option to click multiple emails in one click is absurd. the amount of time it takes to click each email for deletion and then a accidental opening of an email erases all progress is ridiculous. when the only option to delete massive amounts of emails is to delete the account itself or drive yourself to insanity; that is a huge fundamental problem.

    Hi Nigel, you can bulk delete or even delete all. Whichever category you're on: All, Primary, etc, if you click on any checkbox, a new checkbox will appear at the very top. From there you can Select All and then Delete All. Thanks.

  10. STOP SORTING MY EMAILS

    Yahoo Mail has decided to just "TRASH" emails that they think I don't need or read. This is extremely annoying as I am missing emails now from many different providers that I rely on getting. Why are these emails automatically going int he TRASH folder and not my INBOX?? This is extremely annoying and I am considering switching my email entirely so I don't miss any of my important emails...

    Hi Gina, we are not trashing your email. Instead, this is a strong indication your account has been compromise. We recommend changing your password, and then checking your Filter Settings. If you continue to have issues, please contact our CC team as they handle account issues at help.yahoo.com. Thanks!

    The best way to get rid of spam is to mark as spam, not delete or block! This helps with your spam filters and does exactly what blocking does, prevents that email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam! It is free and part of regular Yahoo Mail. Thanks!

  13. Use Wild Cards for blocking

    I have blocked 918 total emails. I've had my email for at least 2 decades plus, come to you from a "cox.net" account. I have a junk gmail account, I have used about the same time frame and do not have near the problems. Not sure how they do it.

    It would be for benefit to block users who use key words in the subject column using wild cards. Example Sex, Missed Payment etc. or run against a blocked sender universal list.

    On top of that, it would be good to block emails not from .com or .org or…

  14. The Restore and deleted Emails

    I have been attempting to recover several deleted emails for the past seven days, but the “Submitted Request” tab on the recovery form is not functioning. Additionally, when I click the “Contact” tab, it redirects me back to the created request instead of opening a contact option. This appears to be a system glitch, and I would appreciate assistance in resolving it. Thank you

  16. Improve Spam Filters to add the option "Reply To" variable

    Hello Yahoo Team. I'm getting lots of different spam email from various senders. However, after reviewing the "raw message" they all have the same "Reply To": embedded in the email. Please help fix this issue so they can be blocked with a spam filter.
