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?
Reply/Forward Icons - You can see the arrow icons when you've replied or forwarded to a message.
Up/Down Arrow, Scrolls Now - In full message view, not preview pane.
Sender's Email Address - You don't have to open the email to see the sender's email address. Just hover over the sender's name from your Inbox. 
Search Results Will Show Folder - Now when you do a search, where the emails are located will show up.


COMING SOON!
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.
AI Summaries - Ability to disable this under Settings.
Right Hand Column - Ability to minimize: Contacts, Starred, More (Currently Yahoo Mail Plus subscribers)


TIPS:
Drag and drop messages to folders - Just click and hold on an email message, then drag and drop that message into a different folder. 
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. 
Dark Mode - Go to Settings > Appearance.
Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.

  1. Disappearing emails....

    Darn it!!!!!! Was in the process of writing an important email when a box kept asking, every few seconds, if I wanted to "leave the page" or "stay on the page". In each instance I checked "STAY". After a series of this message, the EMAIL DISAPPEARED INTO OBLIVION. IT IS NOT IN THE DRAFTS, SENT, TRASH FOLDERS!!!!!
    What are you people doing? Is this your way of destroying what was a well-functioning service? Thank you for continuing to "improve" on this mess.

  2. Scrolling with Up/Down arrows and Page up/down keys

    My Up/Down arrow and Page Up/Down sometime scroll, but not always. What do I have to do to always have those functions operate? It would sure make reading my emails on Yahoo a whole lot easier, instead of frustrating.

    Thank you very much!

  3. Did not see what I was looking for

    Three things:
    1) skips/jumps and jitters when scrolling - not smooth
    2) sometimes returns to a different set of messages after reading the message, not the one you selected to read
    3) sometimes jumps down two screens of messages when scrolling - very annoying

  4. edit subject in draft

    When composing an email, if I click in the text field without first typing in the Subject field, I am unable to go back and edit the Subject Field. The only workaround that I've found is to make a change in the To field first, then it lets you edit Subject. This is annoying.

  5. Ctrl+Shift+V

    In Chrome browser on a Windows laptop, Ctrl+Shift+V usually means "paste as plain text" but when I use that in Yahoo! mail it actually sends the email (prematurely) with no way to call it back. Please make Ctrl+Shift+V paste text instead of sending the email.

  7. Yahoo Mail Search History

    There is no way to Permanently Clear your Yahoo Mail Search History, You can delete a mail history item but it will reappear when you next sign-on to Yahoo even if you clear all cookies in all Browsers.

    Please fix!!

    Thank you,

  8. Attachments disappear as soon as someone replies to an email

    Attachments disappear as soon as someone replies to an email. This has been happening since the switch to the new yahoo email. I'm tempted to migrate to Gmail.

  9. subject field cant be editted

    Using google chrome on windows 11 and yahoo mail in that browser. When I compose a new email; if i start to type in the message body field, I am then unable to edit the subject line. I've had this issue through several iterations of google chrome on windows 11.

    No issues in yahoo email in my yahoo app on iOS.
    No issues in old yahoo email. this is only an issue in the new. clearly a bug. sadly yahoo support requires payment to submit bugs

  14. Bug: The forum may be locked and I can't reply to Yahoo staff

    I have opened at least two feedback issues that have been responded to by Yahoo staff. I have no way to follow up because when I go to each page with the issue there's no way to reply and the comments are hidden. All the issue page shows is the original report. Additionally, as I reported in a separate bug, this uservoice forum does not work anymore and I can't see anyone else's ideas. I think that the forum may be locked. I don't know how you expect me to search for duplicates or reply to existing issues if the…

  15. Request to Restore Missing Emails & Folder Name Issue on Yahoo Mail via Outlook

    Dear Yahoo Mail Support,

    I am experiencing an issue with my Yahoo Mail account when using it with Outlook. I have created a new folder in Outlook and moved some emails into it. However, when I rename the folder, it automatically reverts to the original name, and the emails inside disappear.

    I have tried checking my Yahoo Mail via the web, but I could not find the emails in the original folder, Trash, or Spam. Could you please help me restore the missing emails and investigate why folder renaming causes data loss?

    Here are the details of my account and…

  18. bogus emails

    OBVIOUSLY bogus email addresses like 'zidfnpepirdnfkajsdfadfafeirllnng@......' should be automatically deleted. I have 200 emails if my "filter" 190 of them have these totally bogus email addresses. like: acnabmuglogjxtejxwezoqkymdwllbqzwmoxu.....@ and "annhdytvkfevdnkhvvwajrwrqccnfgthawftzncnvunqydndwfduhc@....." These were never a problem when cox was handling our email. Why do these all come thru now?
