If you are an active emailer of images, you’ve probably already noticed this recent enhancement. But just in case you hadn’t (and because I was excited to test out a different screencasting tool) I wanted to give you all a demonstration of the all new image viewer we’ve incorporated into the All-New Yahoo! Mail.
Never before has it been so easy to get a quick look at images in your inbox! Hope you enjoy the video, and please feel free to make any suggestions for other features you would like demonstrated or explained.

How do I get ride of the blank squares, which are supposed to be images, with the red x in the upper left hand corner?
I’ve got the same problem as Joe. What gives? All pics are now showing up as attachments. FF or IE.
The image viewer is great, but lately it has seemed absent from my emails! The live chat guy for Yahoo online help had not clue what feature I was talking about.
I’ve tried it in Firefox and in IE and with all extensions disabled in FF. No dice.
What gives?! Did I hit a button that turned off my preference for pics being displayed?

I like the slideshow feature, but previously Yahoo mail was showing all the attached images in full size one below the other (similar to embedded images) below the message content. I miss that very much ever since this slideshow upgrade and trying to find an option to revert back to that.
It would be great if an option could be added for switching between slideshow view and embedded view.
And from the comments over here, I think most people are referring to feature on how yahoo mail automatically created the embedded view of the attached images previously..
Phentermine….

how or from where i can watch this video
Great feature
Ryan, the frustration with seeing a thumbnail instead of the full picture is exactly that…..I want to see the full picture not a thumbnail of it. Also if I send an email I want to be able to insert the picture where I want it & have it displayed in full view, not have it as a thumbnail or attachment that has to be viewed at the bottom of the email.
Small photos are not better! I hope we change back or have the option to see the photos full size.I think most people are not on dial up so why make better options for them to get a faster load.This going back to fix out dated problems…
Two quick things:
Some my e-mail folders show the number inside. Some don’t, including BILLS folder. What’s the problem?
Where do I find a list of the names of all community blogs?
Thanks

Love the new feature. Keep up the good work.
Hi Linda,

Thanks for the feedback. We understand that based on the different ways a sender can choose to send an image to you, and what email service/client they use, a recipient can have different experiences with the image viewer. It looks like we need to circle up with customer care and help teams to get clearer information out there.

The image viewer should only appear when the sender use the Attach File option within their email. Embedded or pasted images will not be handled the same way.
-
If someone sends you a fancy HTML email with background images or banners, those wouldn’t make sense to place in a slideshow. However if someone sends you pictures as attachments, there’s a very good chance that a slideshow option would be helpful.

This is for Ryan & Baxter,
Thanks so very much for showing everyone how to use the new attachmenet feature. Because of you & BAXTER , I decided to switch to the new Yahoo home page. I have had Yahoo for over 4 yrs.now and was so happy with the homepage I did not want to change, but after seeing you & Baxter and how easy downloading pictures were I was very happy.There is just one question, what has happened to the paste button from the compose box where you can copy & paste some thing for a draft or compose for an e-mail? It has been a safety thing of mine to cut,copy & paste only items I want to send from an e-mail I receive to elimate a page full of other peoples names & e-mail addresses. It was taken off and now I can no longer do this.I really liked the paste button being there so when I compose I can cut all the names from sent e-mails. Any help on this?? Thanks for the GREAT JOB you all do at Yahoo.
I absolutly hate the new image viewer. It does not work as you say it should and the mail team doesn’t seem to know how to handle it. I just keep getting answers that are too technical or just don’t seem to pertain to the subject.
