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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    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!

  9. delete spam, block automatically, and delete

    WHen spam is deleted, automatically block sender and remove all emails

  10. 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.

  11. 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!!!

    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. 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.

  16. Issue when deleting email drafts

    I've noticed since last year that when a draft is deleted and that draft is part of a chain of email exchanges, everything related to that chain of emails is also deleted, from Inbox, from Sent, etc. The only option is to send a recovery request, but that doesn't work every time. It would be very important not to delete and lose everything when deleting a draft. Thank you!

  19. Fix email delete defect

    If you select one of more mail items and select 'delete', the mail is deleted. If you accidentally double click your system will delete the next email even though it is not selected. If I am lucky I notice and can recover it from the trash.

    Only delete selected items!

  20. SPAM filter is TERRIBLE!

    I'm getting bombarded with spam e-mail daily and the subject lines alone shouldn't make it past your filters. I've been marking them all SPAM and it seems to make no difference what so ever. I block the senders but every e-mail comes from another e-mail. I'm ready to switch to another e-mail provider after 30 years of Yahoo
