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.
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!

  1. Set up

    How do I change the set up on my page? I am beyond frustrated with the way the screen looks and prefer the way it was before. While I adore the features, "What's New" and "Coming Soon", I liked being able to see how many emails and etc., all together. Please email with, hopefully, a way to rearrange.

    Thank you

  2. I need to update my sending name

    I have been trying to update my name for quite some time. (on my iphone) It has been very difficult to figure out a way to change it. Everytime i send an email it shows my old maiden name.

    I am not always home to sign in to my computer to send emails.

    My computer name shows Eric & Sharlesa Bradford which is correct. My phone name shows Sharlesa Robertson which is outdated and incorrect.

    Thanks for listening to my concern and working on a resolution for your users who can't afford or maintain a plus membership.

  3. Email filters need a serious revamp!!!

    Please bring back email filter options. Going to settings to setup email filters is annoying. Best option right click email, filter option, setup which folder/options etc, done.

  4. Go back to showing all the folders! Why are you fixing something that IS NOT BROKEN?

    Every new idea is necessarily an improvement. I don't like it when I can't see all of my folders and must go to another link somewhere to find them. STOP improving things that work fine as they are.

  5. It wasn't broke why did you change it?

    You had an option to Block all e-mail from certain spammers. Now it's not there. Why did you get rid of it? It was useful.

  6. Allow the selection of 'All' of filtered email to be deleted.

    Currently, it allows me only to select all (but only 45 email of each screen) that can be deleted each time. As I need to delete 15,000+ emails, it will take me forever. Then I need to go to the "Deleted" folder and delete page by page. Chaos. Please help to allow fast delete of all FILTERED emai.

  8. Only four emails visible in inbox?

    And the rest cluttered up with garbage? This is unusable. I have the feeling yahoo wants to get rid of the last few users...
