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.

  2. Photos View

    There used to be an images or photos folder on the side that showed you all the images in your emails all together in a collage of thumbnails.

    It was a critical search feature to my work.

    Now, I know I can click on the advanced search function and click the "photo pill" but that does not help at all.

    Sure, it sorts out the emails that contain photos, but it does not display the images unless you click into each individual email, so you have no way of locating the picture you are looking for quickly or easily. You…

  3. Right Side Panel (Contacts, Starred, Etc)

    There should be a way to remove the contact box on the right. This feature is useful when two windows (one is yahoomail) are displayed side-by-side. During these situations, window real estate is valuable.

  4. Search Emails by Keywords

    The new Yahoo Mail version does not allow you to search emails by keywords as the previous version did. This is an important feature which needs to be added back immediately.

  5. Send Button in Long Thread

    In the new email, if I'm in a long thread, I have to scroll way way down to get to the SEND button. Can't you put it on the top? THAT would be an improvement.

  6. From field not available on Reply/Forward

    ISSUES:

    1. REPLY does not allow you to change the FROM email (it is not even visible). This is a problem if you have multiple emails.

    2. The FORWARD has the same issue as above.

    Both of these are an option on the old version of Yahoo. This is forcing me to copy and paste the entire email and create a new one.

  7. Link Preview in Emails

    In new Yahoo Mail, "Automatically generate a preview of links" is not working. It should be fixed or just allow users to go back to old Yahoo Mail. Thank you.

  9. Keyboard Shortcuts

    Allow pressing delete key to delete checked emails. This is always how I used to delete emails before. I know it's not a huge deal to have to click the trash icon, but I can work faster on my keyboard and this shortcut was nice.

  12. double click on name in address field

    In the previous version, I could double click on a name in address field to display the email address and allow copying. Now it doesn't allow that. It shows the persons address but there's not a way to copy & paste it.

  13. Option to view the assigned folder for a message when searching

    When I'm searching through all the messages in my email (usually trying to sort and filter certain messages to place them in their appropriate folders), I desperately miss having the current assigned folder show on the quick view. It is a really quick way of knowing whether or not all of the messages were moved to the requested folder and also if I inadvertently put a message in the wrong folder.

  14. Resize Images Within Emails

    When adding an image in an email in the new yahoo email, you cannot resize the image. You could do this in the Classic Email when you added an in-message image. I believe there you could make it small/med/large. New Email does not seem to allow any resizing. Please add this feature.

  15. Delete e-mail

    With the new UI I think the pop-up that says "Message Deleted" appears right on top of the Delete button. I typically delete my e-mails in preview mode which I don't see as an option in the new UI which allows me to see the e-mail briefly and then click the Delete button in most cases. Now I have to open the e-mail click Delete, then wait for the pop-up to disappear or manually close it, before I can delete the next e-mail. If you just move that pop-up off to the right of the toolbar then I would be…

  16. Scrolling through mail is jumpy as it skips emails

    Scrolling through email is impossible. I use the scroll wheel on my mouse to look through email as I use a pc. I can start at the top and after one or two short scrolls down it jumps down so I miss several hours of emails For example, my newest email came at 6:12pm today..After I get down to 4:20pm it jumps to mail received at 1pm without my even scrolling and when I go back up I see I missed 32 emails received. No matter how many times I go back to the top and try again it always…

  19. Sent Folder - Mass Actions

    I'm trying to clean up my sent folder. There is no way to select multiple messages and do a mass action on them such as delete, move, archive, mark read/unread. You have to do them one message at a time. Bring back all of the action buttons that used to be at the top and also the select all messages checkbox. I don't know why these aren't there. Should be at least consistent with the other folders especially because the sent folder is one of the main folders in any email app.
