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.




Thank you! 💜

  1. ai summary

    AI summary keeps switching itself back on when I've toggled it off multiple times and refreshed each time.
    This thing that you say at the top of this very page: "AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off"
    doesn't do anything

    I keep seeing the same pointless AI summary at the tope of each email.

  5. Be able to change density of subject line display

    Since you seem intent on copying Gmail, please include the other display features, like the ability to display things in a more compact view. I don't want or need icons for each sender, I just need to see their name and the subject line, and miss the density of the prior version of Yahoo Mail. I hate this new one. Hate it.

  6. Get rid of starred view box on the right

    How do I get rid of the starred messages box on the right? This is a waste of space, I just want to be able to look at my messages, and a quarter of the screen is now taken up by something I can't get rid of. This is terrible.

  7. Cannot send

    I can no longer send email. I cannot see the box at the bottom of the screen. I have tried multiple times to be sure that size is not the problem. I cannot get it to show up, even after reboot, etc.

  10. priority inbox

    Filters seem to only allow us to send things to folders. I want to be able to control what appears in the priority inbox. Allow us to filter to Priority instead of having to dig in "All" to find something.

  11. Folders

    Folders

    First off there are a lot of changes that are great and moving forward will allow for greater customization by the user.
    Having to scroll down to click on the dots or minimize by using double errors creates extra steps for two folders that are used frequently - SPAM and TRASH. With the new storage limits these two folders are more important than ever. I use the SPAM and TRASH folders multiple times a day. My idea is to let the user decide which folders are shown and which folders need to be expanded. The user can select Show…

  12. Ultra Compact View (minimal vertical padding option)

    I switched back to OLD Yahoo Email because it did not offer the same COMPACT view that is offered here in the old Yahoo Email. I do NOT like the extra vertical space separating individual messages. I prefer a very compact view that facilitates the maximum number of messages displayed on a single page. I am using Outlook browser on Windows 11. I am a full-stack developer and have been developing with JS / Flexbox / etc. for years. Please provide a truly, compact rendering option with minimal vertical row padding padding.

  14. Navigation

    I HATE the new Yahoo Mail!! I think it's harder to navigate, harder to delete some information, information isn't right at my fingertips, I feel like it's taking me backwards instead of being able to progress quickly. It's definitely not a step in the right direction. I don't want it!

  19. New storage usage.

    Correction to your Yahoo Mail storage notification
    Storage: First I receive an email telling me that my storage space has been drastically reduced and am at 80 % of the new storage limit.

    This is completely unacceptable for old time users of Yahoo mail. You may give new subscribers a changed limit, but you cannot do so to long term users, it just isn´t fair and should be illegal. I am very angry and disappointed with my long term favorite email service.

    This 80% reached limit appeared at the top of my email list.
    I delete a huge amount of…
