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!


WHAT'S NEW?
Search by Sender - Just hover over the sender's profile image and a spyglass icon will appear where you can search all emails by that sender.
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.
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.



COMING SOON!
Differentiate Unread v. Read - Better ways to see the difference.
Resize Images - Resize an image within the message.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.
Right Hand Column - Ability to minimize: Contacts, Starred, More (Currently for Yahoo Mail Plus subscribers)


TIPS:
Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.
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.

  1. You can let me go back to the old version.

    Please add a button to go back to the old version. This version is too spread out and hides emails in the wrong categories. Old version was more compact and did not hide emails, letting me sort in my own way.

  6. Верните интерфейс, который был несколько лет назад или дайте возможность его выбирать!

    Вы сделали крайне неудобный интерфейс: лишили возможности выбирать цветовую тему, уплотнять список писем, куча места пропадает и нет возможности его уплотнить, на предпросмотр остается совсем мало, даже если расширить окно до максимума (но тогда в списке писем всего четыре строки) - все крайне неудобно, и я к такому никогда не привыкну, не надейтесь! Базовый интерфейс - вообще без предпросмотра, еще хуже. У вас был оптимум несколько лет назад, верните!!!
    Ни за что не порекомендовал бы сейчас ваш сервис. А несколько лет назад было все хорошо.

  9. Improve bulk selection and filtering of messages for deletion

    Trying to cleanup a large, > 100K message mbox is very user unfriendly. I can only search and select 50 messages at a time, cannot select messages that are not directly addressed to me (ie. sent bcc or to a listserv), in the manage storage dialog, i cannot filter messages that have attachments, have to select them 1 at a time. All around, the feature set for managing a large mbox is very limited.

  11. Clear Option for a Human Help Contact

    Hello,

    I have an issue where I am trying to subscribe to yahoo plus but have run into an issue when trying to enter my visa information to pay. I am unable to change the country from United States to Canada. I even tried to add my visa to my wallet which was successful as the default option. However when I tried to sign up again for yahoo plus it did not default the visa in my wallet for a payment method. When I tried to find help on the issue, I could not see any help in the FAQ,…

  12. Contacts List Cut Off

    1) I am not able to add a new contact to my contact list. When I open up New Contact, the box does not provide enough room for me to input the contact data. Only 1/2 of the contact information box is visible, as the contact information box is blocked by the inbox emails to its left. Can this please be fixed.

    2) Also, why did you discontinue "attach document from previous email" as an attachment option when sending documents? The only option is to attach documents from my files. Your previous version was far more user friendly when it…

  16. Ads steal cursor away from what I was doing

    I am using Windows 10, 148.0.7778.168 (Official Build) (64-bit). As of 5/13/2026, anytime the right side ad banner rotates to a new ad, it takes my cursor from any other part of the window it was in. This is especially frustrating when I am writing, and every 40-70 seconds, my cursor is moved to the right side, and my up/down arrow keys show it was hijacked by the refreshed ad. My browser has no extensions or ad blockers. I sometimes use other browsers that do have ad blockers, but it seems functionality is an ongoing problem for me in Yahoo…

  17. Email blocking by pattern

    • Add pattern matching to the blocking rules
    • possibility to test against
      • from address
      • reply to address
      • (sending service domain?)
      • (other headers?)
      • subject
      • body

    Example patterns
    @,
    *.scammer.com, *.scammer.com.

    casino
    lottery
    spin

    The first I have seen recently. The second would block most spammers. The rest are typical words in a casino spam.

    instead of 'info_info@wfuv.mayantial.jp.bloom-blush.com.borrock.co'
    boom-blush.com., or borrock.com, or *mayantial.jp.

    I guess this sender is the same as 'info_info@wfuv.mayantial.jp.bloom-blush.com.yamament.com' As we can see, the mayamtial.jp and bloom-blush.com are the same, but the last part of the domain has been changed.

    Good luck.

  20. Calendar problems

    Urgent problem - I am long time user of Yahoo Calendar which I use on an Android phone. Within the past 24 hours, I've noticed that I am not able to add new events because there isn't a way to select the time of the event (I can send you a screen shot if you allow me to send an attachment). Note that selecting the date is possible, but not the time. Further, the calendar works on my desktop. Additionally, I have tried using the Yahoo Mail app. I see your Planner, but I don't see a way to add…
