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?
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!
Resize Images - Resize an image within the message.
Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
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.
Drag and drop messages to folders - Just click and hold on an email message, then drag and drop that message into a different folder. 
Dark Mode - Go to Settings > Appearance.




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

  2. Hide Starred/Contacts

    Would like to close the starred/contact section, so the email content in the layout can be wider to read it easier, but I don't see any option for that.

  5. Your new format doesn't work

    Your new site doesn't let me search my emails. It just spins and spins. And then every time I reload the site in an attempt to fix it (or heck, just get back to my inbox), it forces me to go through the introduction thing again. I've been through it six times now. I GET IT. Stop making me go through it again. This is so frustrating; you really should beta test it before rolling it out. If I could find a way to go back to the old format, which, while dated, was actually functional, I would.

  6. Go back to the Old Yahoo Mail.

    The new Yahoo Mail System is difficult to use. I had been using the old Yahoo Mail System for years. It was great. Never had a problem, in and out quickly.
    This new system is unwanted, difficult to navigate, and a pain in the butt. As the saying goes, "If the (old) system works, don't fix it!!

  8. emil don't stand out

    I like the old Yahoo Mail better.
    The dates separation are missing: Today, Yesterday, Last Week, July, June, etc.... These make mail to stand out and easy to locate/find.
    I CANNOT SEE HOW TO CHANGE THEMES

  14. sort by size

    With the new tiny storage limit, you must give us a way to sort by attachment size. Your website claims it is a sort option, BUT IT IS NOT!!!! This went from inconvenient to INSULTING!

  16. Mass deleting emails by year or sender

    There should be a way to mass delete emails by year or sender. So, for example, I have emails going back to 2013, but there's no way to mass delete everything by time period. If I want to delete everything from 2013-2020, there's no way to do that. Similarly, there should be a way to delete all emails by sender. I have found a way to do that on my Android app (although I don't think it actually deletes all of them), but not on the desktop site. I'm pretty sure I have ten gazillion emails from Amazon and wish…

  17. problem with multiple email accounts

    Something is no longer working on my Yahoo Mail. I used to see a way to switch between my Yahoo Mail and another email account (Outlook) in the lower left part of the screen. I no longer see it. I can see it if i switch back to the old Yahoo email, but that has other drawbacks.

  18. In list of Sent emails, forwarded email shows name of original sendee rather than the person I forwarded to.

    I sent an email to person #1 then forwarded it to person #2. When I look at the Sent list, it shows the email I forwarded, but to person #1 rather than person #2. The original email I sent to person #1 is not on the list. This activity should show both items in Sent, with one to person #1 and one to person #2.

  19. Missing emails

    Since you "made improvements" to Yahoo Mail, I've lost multiple emails from multiple folders, I haven't deleted them, yet they're gone. How do I retrieve them. Car Insurance and other docs are missing!!

    Unable to mass delete emails from a folder, inbox search or a sender. Search is limited to 25. Folder is limited to 100. Even when it prompts you to delete all xx,000 emails from a folder it only deletes the first 100.
