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?
Search by Sender - Just hover over the sender's profile image and a spyglass icon will appear where you can search all emails by that sender.
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!
Differentiate Unread v. Read - Better ways to see the difference.
Resize Images - Resize an image within the message.
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.
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.
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.

  1. HAVE A FREAKING PERSON THAT CAN HELP ME

    IDK where TF anyone gets TF off not having any support besides some freaking phone chat bot that literally does not allow me to speak to anybody. This is ridiculous. Asinine if you will. When all it would take is a 15 min convo with live person to access and fix my issue. If someone would please get back to me as there apparently is like NO ONE that can help me. I'm a millennial for JHC sake. I'm not some boomer that can't figure out how to turn on my computer I have a very weird niche issue and…

  2. Make it like the old one

    This new version is shite. I can't see what images are contained within a message before opening; and I can't make that image larger within the message (though I see you're claiming to fix that; perhaps get everything ready beforehand in future?)

    Please fix, as I'm prevented from going back (being asked to try the new version whilst withholding that there would be no return option is deceitful and unethical).

  3. The new mail is horrible and confusing

    I just want to be able to see all my mail and be able to read the first line to know what it's about. Now it looks jumbled and it seems like yahoo is making up it's own descriptions in the little I can see. I don't want things separated by yahoo- I want to separate them myself. The only improvement that would be great would be the ability to filter upon receipt. Like, if something is from one sender, the mail for them could go directly to that folder. If you can't do that, then just give me my…

  4. Filter Unread by Sender Name

    Previously I was able to sort UNREAD emails by sender's name however it wasnt sorting correctly. Now the option is removed and I'm not able select the option.
    Can you PLEASE add back the option to sort Unread emails by sender name AND have it sort correctly. This is currently working in other folders. It is NOT user friendly the way it is currently!
    It is not difficult to add especially since the option is already working in other folders. PLEASE reply with and update and ETA.
    Thank you

  5. Widen the message box and give the advertizing box less of the width.

    I can read ALL of the ads, whether or not I am interested, but can't see the entire message in my mail.

  7. Add the delete all ability back. I am about to abandon this email because its so overrun and I cannot clear it out.

    Add the delete all ability back. I am about to abandon this email because its so overrun and I cannot clear it out. You used to have the ability to mass delete and for some reason took it away. This was a bad idea.

  9. Blocking emails that contain obscene words

    I have been getting filthy emails containing obscene language in the titles. (I will not ever open any.) I block senders but they continue to send them. I don't want these emails even in my junk folder or trash folder. I do not want to see them at all. I would like a way to entirely block emails containing a list of foul words. People who send this sort of garbage should not be able to access people who are not interested in pornographic content.

  12. Switching between accounts

    Hi there,
    It would be awesome if you could place the "switching between accounts" link or button back to the main screen.
    It used to be a lot more easier and faster to change between accounts.
    Thanks for your consideration!
    Kind regards,
    Akos Kelemen

  13. Forwarding emails- the cursor should be in the adressee field, not in the message section

    Forwarding emails- the cursor should be in the adressee field, not in the message section. You do not necessarily need to write a message when forwarding and email, but you definitely have to enter an addressee. Move the default cursor to the addressee field.

  15. copyable address

    I would like to be able to type someone's name as it is in yahoo and their email populates with their name visible as it already does. Then I would like to be able to right click on that name and copy their email address.

    Does Yahoo think that disabling density settings is worth an upgrade?
    I guess most people classify this as a downgrade.

  17. STOP interfering with my emails from my friend. You don't have the right to interfere.

    Get AI out of my personal emails. I'm sick of being abused by Yahoo. You're the ones I don't want to hear from. Let me get my emails.

  18. NOT USER FRIENDLY

    There is not enough screen room availavle to read email. There is to much space above the reading area that is wasted. I only have 1.25 inches to read email and to navigate email. This version of email is not user friendly. Please! Fix this or change my email to the older version and make the 'Go Back Button' available. Thanks!

  20. Reduce Clutter

    Please give users the option to remove the column section to the right that is for Starred emails and Calendar. This might not even be used by some users, so would be nice to allow us option to disable the view if unused. I personally DO use it, but prefer where it was on the far left near inboxes as options to click into, then a new tab opens for me to view in full. It takes up too much space especially when you're on a smaller computer screen. Difficult to read emails.
