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!



TIPS:
Disable Inbox Categories (All, Primary, etc) - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Inbox Categories.
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.
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.
Sort By Sender - This is still a sorting option, but you must disable Conversation view under your Settings. Then you will see "Sender name"
Disable AI Summaries - Go to Settings > AI features > Toggle Off



COMING SOON!
Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon!




**Please do NOT post about Account, Password, Login issues here. It will be deleted. Please go to help.yahoo.com.




Thank you! 💜

  1. More options

    If you want to force a new layout on people at least give them the ability to change fonts. I hate this new look - I find it hard to read. Thanks for nothing.

  3. Can not restore accidentally deleted Email

    I am writing to express my extreme frustration with a severe design flaw in Yahoo Mail.I accidentally deleted a draft, and your system completely wiped out my entire associated email chain. To make matters worse, the email trail is completely missing from my Trash, Spam, and Sent folders. It has vanished entirely. Because of this terrible workflow glitch, I had to completely redo all of my work from scratch.Furthermore, your "Restore Email" functionality is completely dysfunctional and failed to recover anything.Yahoo needs to step out of the Windows XP era and start operating like a modern, robust platform. There is…

  5. Potential Searching Issue

    I was looking for an email by searching for the Subject's name. The email contained a subject that container "Flow". I searched for "Flow" and "flow" but it did not show. I had to instead guess the content of the body in order to find the email.

  6. Disable or MOVE delete confirmation

    When configured to auto advance to next unread mail in list layout, the delete confirmation covers the toolbar, forcing the user to dismiss it before being able to delete the now current email. This is excruciatingly painful when trying to power through a bunch of mail.

  7. bring back some lost functionality please!

    Please bring back:
    1. Create Filter from this message/sender shortcut.
    2. Search no longer lets me choose which folder to search, it searches every folder by default.
    3. "Delete all emails" deletes from all folders, not just the folder selected. I don't want to delete every email from that sender, just those in the Inbox.
    No option on your account to return to the prior Yahoo Mail interface. Yahoo confirms that some accounts no longer have the rollback option.

  8. I no longer can "search" for a keyword.

    I no longer can "search" for a keyword. The only field available is "subject". This field was especially helpful when I can't remember the subject line. Please fix.

  9. Protect Starred/Tagged Emails from "Select All" Deletion

    The 'Select All' feature is fantastic for quickly clearing junk. However, when 'Select All' is used, it includes emails that I have already marked as Starred (or otherwise "tagged important").

    My suggestion is that the system should be designed to automatically exclude any emails that are Starred/Tagged Important when the user selects 'Select All' for deletion. This would prevent accidentally deleting priority messages while mass-clearing the inbox.

    In short: Starred/Important emails should be protected from the 'Select All' function for deletion.

  10. Printing is broken in Microsoft Edge with the new Yahoo Mail version on desktop

    Printing is broken in Microsoft Edge with the new Yahoo Mail version on desktop. Text does NOT WRAP properly beyond the end of the line when scaling the print size beyond 100%. The site seems fix line breaks at 100% scaling keeps it there even when we scale beyond. This did not occur with the previous version of Yahoo Mail

  11. stop going to the top of the list

    ok removing the pages really messed up my workflow .. this being said I know I have it set to go back to the inbox after I move a message.. but can we at least make it not swing all the way to the top? like if im on message 152 and I delete it go back to the main list but keep it down where I was working like 152 not all the way to the top because now I have to scroll all the way back down this giant list to where I was.

  12. Yahoo Help

    I am very unhappy with the new Yahoo Mail interface. Several essential features that I relied on daily have been removed, including compact spacing, message layout options, the reading pane, and the classic settings panel. The new version feels stripped down, less customizable, and harder to navigate.

    The inbox is more cluttered, the spacing options are limited, and the removal of the traditional layout controls has made the interface significantly less efficient. The previous version allowed me to organize and view my email in a way that worked for me. This new version does not.

    Please restore the classic customization…

  13. Enable keyboard arrow scrolling within emails

    At the moment, attempting to scroll using laptop keyboard arrows only scrolls between messages. It's impossible to scroll within messages even when clicking within the email text, which works in other email programs. This is very frustrating.

  14. fix the payment problem for extra storage on accounts outside the United States

    I am in Australia. I have received multiple emails telling me I can increase storage to 100GB for A$3.49. Until then my account is frozen. But when I try to pay A$3.49, the link defaults to US dollars and says it is not available in my region. This is ridiculous. Please fix it.

  15. Can you make the Unsubscribe bubble proportionate to the new Inbox spacing?

    The Unsubscribe bubble that pops up over the message title is the same size in both the Medium and Large choices of Inbox spacing. This blocks almost all of the title, leaving little room to navigate with the cursor. I'm constantly clicking to open an email message when the bubble pops up, and I'm clicking that instead. I've tried resizing my browser, but that doesn't help this kind of thing. I either need a magnifying glass to read things, or one email is taking up my entire screen, and then pop-ups block it all. Please, please fix this!

    I've migrated my xfinity email and it works fine on my phone app. However, on desktop, it's not connected. When looking to add an inbox, it only gives me options for Gmail, Outlook, and AOL. How can I access my Xfinity inbox on desktop?

  18. mail storage problem

    Subject: Urgent: Systemic Yahoo Mail Storage Glitch Affecting Thousands of Users

    Dear Mr. Lanzone,

    I am writing to bring to your attention a significant and ongoing technical failure with Yahoo Mail that is affecting thousands of users worldwide, including myself.

    The Issue:

    Since 12 August 2026, I have been unable to send or receive emails through my Yahoo Mail account. My "Manage Storage" page shows my mailbox is 100% full. However, I have permanently deleted over 6.8 GB of emails and emptied both my Trash and Spam folders. Despite this, the storage meter remains stuck at "0% available" and continues…

  19. Contact Photos...

    Edit contacts > Upload photos. I've always enjoyed seeing a photo for each of my Yahoo! Mail contacts but since upgrading to Windows 11 OS, they never "stick" / clicking Save doesn't mean anything. I wish I had an idea to improve this flaw but I'm merely a user.
