We’ve been listening to your feedback over these past months since the all-new mail came out of beta. One of the features that you asked for was a way to download multiple attachments at once. Well, we heard you loud and clear.

So, over the next few days we will be rolling this feature out. Here is a screenshot of how it will look in your message. So when you receive a message that contains more than one attachment, you’ll see this:

Download all Attachments
All you have to do is click “Download All” to get all at once!

(Note: Occasionally, you may not see the Download All link above a message with multiple attachments. Sometimes the manner in which an individual file is named prevents it from being grouped together with other files. In these cases, you’ll need to download attachments the old way, one by one.)

As with many of our enhancements to mail, not everyone gets the new feature at once. So if you don’t see the “Download All” link, be patient, everyone will have this feature soon.

** Please note… The download all feature will download all the files into one compressed (.zip) file which then needs to be unzipped in order to view all the files. Windows XP and Vista both deal with .zip files as part of the operating system. If you are having trouble with the “download all” feature, you may need to install Winzip or another file compression software.

Happy emailing!
Andrew – Yahoo! Mail Team

    new yahoo mail is excellent .i want to download all attachments atonce.

  • 6. Rana Awais  |  February 29th, 2008 at 2:54 pm

    So I asked around the team, and what I’ve found a large percentage of users do… They open an Internet browser, and then search for Yahoo Mail, and then click the Yahoo Mail search result. I’m going to assume that it’s mostly Internet explorer for the browser and mostly some other search engine I’m not going to name ;). But then that’s probably what my mum would do too, whereas I would never think to do that. But since my mum doesn’t know what a URL is or what http:// stands for, it makes more sense to me now. I’ve been immersed in this stuff for so long now, what seems second nature to me is completely foreign to someone like my mum.

  • 11. bobby-v  |  February 29th, 2008 at 4:48 pm

    All attachments at once thats rocking.That will save me time.More time for music.

  • 12. Allan Marshall  |  February 29th, 2008 at 4:49 pm

    Yahoo is good, but I find the SEND button and the DELETE button are two close could they not be better spaced?

  • 13. Dr Prabir Chakrabarti  |  February 29th, 2008 at 4:51 pm

    I feel that if yahoo had a separate division / group that will cater to business e mail ids e.g yahoobiz then it can be very useful for many SMEs. With yahoo constantly innovating & providing built in antivirus solutions etc it could add real value to sme operations. If this is acceptable, the same idea can be expanded to provide customised web page etc etc

  • 14. kate  |  February 29th, 2008 at 4:56 pm

    its cool get it while you can

  • 15. Ashraf Khan  |  February 29th, 2008 at 5:25 pm

    I can not open an attachment even though I click on the attachment box with my e-mail . It gives me option to download and when I cklick this option, it opens the the download window and keeps transferring informations and never finishes

  • 16. jackie cayless  |  February 29th, 2008 at 6:01 pm

  • 22. Brenda Clark  |  February 29th, 2008 at 9:29 pm

    I can not open an attachment even though I click on the attachment box with my e-mail . It gives me option to download and when I cklick this option, it opens the the download window and keeps transferring informations and never finishes, so then I have to delete the attachments without seeing them.

    Kind regards
    Brenda Clark.


    Hi Brenda,
    I’m sorry to hear that you’re having difficulties with the attachments. I suggest that you contact customer care regarding your attachment difficulties. They will be able to see if there is anything wrong. You can find out how to contact them here:

    I *LOVE* Yahoo Mail’s Web interface and the fact that it works with IE (Windows), Firefox and now even Safari (oh yes, it already did, but now the compatibility warning’s gone…). I would just like to see POP/IMAP access becoming available for free, as I cannot opt in for Yahoo Mail Plus because it’s not offered in my country. I use Yahoo Mail UK because of legislation issues in the US which I oppose and which are not there in the UK, but if it were available I’d like to use an English language version of Yahoo Mail Netherlands. Yahoo Mail doesn’t even have a regionalised mail version for my country. Therefore, I’m also unable to use Yahoo Mail Plus. I would have done that if I could, because I’ve been using Yahoo for over 17 years now (first US, now UK). And with the all new interface for Mail, I don’t think I’ll quit easily. POP/IMAP access would be finishing it all nicely; especially since some connections may be slowing things down… Kwwp up the good work.

  • 27. Catherine  |  March 1st, 2008 at 10:53 am

    Please give the facility for two people working from the same PC to log on at the same time. My husband and I need to constantly log each other out in order to access our emails.

    Regards
    Catherine

    Hi Caterine,
    As a matter of fact, you can work from the same PC at the same time. However, you’ll need to use different Web browsers to do that. For example, you can be logged on using Internet Explorer, and your husband can be logged on using the Firefox web browser. Give that a try.
    Thanks,

  • 30. Debbie Moore  |  March 1st, 2008 at 10:17 pm

  • 32. thea  |  March 2nd, 2008 at 4:49 pm

    thats great i always get annoyed when i have to wait for ages to download things but now i dont have to.

  • 33. Jenny  |  March 2nd, 2008 at 8:23 pm

    Talking of downloads, since my cat trashed my laptop which had windows xp, and hence having to get another computer which is now vista, email attachments have become laborious to say the least. I try to open them, but I have to save them into works folder before I can read them…is there anyway I can change this so I can just read them from my mail??

    Many thanks:-)

  • 34. esolfrid leith  |  March 2nd, 2008 at 10:31 pm

    I have a request about attachments, especially photos.
    Yahoo is particularly slow and very restricted when it comes to this feature. It takes forever to upload a picture. I have also tried ti zip pictures to send off, but that doesn’t seem to work any better.

  • 35. Mark  |  March 3rd, 2008 at 12:26 pm

    This is a great addition. Thanks

  • 36. christian  |  March 3rd, 2008 at 6:38 pm

    thanks for this! Yahoo! Mail is now better than Outlook 2003 which I use at work. Wonderful….. Now if only you can master the spamfilter it would be awesome.

  • 37. NTHABI  |  March 4th, 2008 at 6:59 am

  • 46. John  |  March 4th, 2008 at 11:29 pm

  • 47. Francis Gitahi Njenga  |  March 5th, 2008 at 6:54 am

    That’s great! Downloading all attachments at once is a brilliant idea

  • 48. maria  |  March 5th, 2008 at 10:40 am

    spot on yahoo!!you guys are as innovative as ever!!

  • 49. parfait  |  March 5th, 2008 at 1:35 pm

    Thanks, but still got a problem of sending pictures.
    I can’t send more than 2 pictures. I don’t know the problem.

    —-
    Hi Parfait,
    I don’t know why you would have problems sending pictures. Remember that you have a 10 MegaByte limit with attachments. So, maybe your pictures are really big and you’re reaching the maximum attacment size.
    Thanks,
    Andrew - Yahoo! Mail Team

  • 50. Avril  |  March 5th, 2008 at 2:11 pm

    Hi Yahoo,

    I love the Beta version but I find it really difficult to update my contacts and get them to stay how I put them! In the old version I had created various groups which obviously transferred to the new version but in order to put my new contacts into their correct groups I have to revert back to the old classic as it’s easier to add and edit contacts and stays how I put it! There is no longer options to put your new contacts into various groups easily. Help!! They just won’t stay! When I get to the save page a popup comes up to ask me if I want to save (again!) and I find this is just a continuous loop until I eventually have to cancel the whole thing and go to the classic to sort it out!

  • 51. Konrad Machej  |  March 5th, 2008 at 2:56 pm

    Good idea. Saves a lot of time. Well done!

  • 52. Abi  |  March 5th, 2008 at 4:17 pm

    Wow! excited as I always find it difficult to download attachments one after the other.

  • 53. Mukhtar  |  March 5th, 2008 at 5:04 pm

    Hi Andrew and the Yahoo team,
    It’s really great the way you always listen and improve on the features of yahoo mail for your teaming friends. You can only get better.
    Please keep it up.

  • 54. Fred Squires  |  March 5th, 2008 at 5:16 pm

    Great innovation keep them coming. This is emailing for the 21st. century. Thanks

  • 55. A K Tripathi  |  March 5th, 2008 at 9:20 pm

    I tried ‘download all’ once it appeared on my account. What it does to download all pictures in winzip file to unzip. Unfortunately I do not have one. A better solution/suggestion expected. Thanks.

    —-
    Hi A K,
    Sorry to hear that you’re having problems downloading all attachments at the same time. You will need a program to unzip the files when you download all attachments. Please see my note at the end of the blog post.
    Thanks,
    Andrew - Yahoo! Mail Team

    Hi Andrew! I’ve used the Download All feature a couple of times, and every time I have ended up with an incomplete download of a zip file, which obviously won’t open. Is there still a bug somewhere? I’m on WinXPSP2/IE7.

  • 66. Eno  |  March 7th, 2008 at 10:03 am

    Brilliant innovation…..if downloading all is possible I presume attaching all is likewise possible. Looking fwd for attaching all. Thanx….

  • 67. Anil Chauhan  |  March 7th, 2008 at 11:12 am

    If all mails inside INBOX can be grouped on sender’s name or mail ID, there will be nothing like it. a + sign can be placed on sender’s ID with number counter for unread mails indicating that there are ‘n’ no. of unread mails, something like this:
    From:
    +sender1@yahoo.com(54)
    +sender2@gmail.com(7)
    +sender3@hotmail.com(2)

    Thanks/Regards

    I’m using and Window Vista MOS. The thing is if I’m making and email with a document attachment and send it to the addressee - they cannot open the document which I had done in Word. Any advice to resolve the problem is much appreciated. Thanks.

  • 78. Cyprian  |  March 11th, 2008 at 10:25 am

    Thank you Yahoo for adding this feature :-]

    is it possible to add - download all files compressed with rar -
    it should handle all of file naming :P

  • 81. bizzit  |  March 11th, 2008 at 7:10 pm

    ok so downloading all the attchments from one mail is nice… but…. on the old mail you could look under “my photo’s” or “my attachment’s” and then “check off” a bunch to download at once… my girl likes to send me pictures from here phone… one pic per mail… but a TON of mail daily…. as it stands now i tend to sign in…. put all the amil in a “new pics” folder… then switch to old mail… view by photo… sort by that “new pic” folder then check 1-25 and DL go back and do 25-50 ect ect…. any way to fix the new mail like the old one?

  • 82. Bella  |  March 12th, 2008 at 12:26 am

    Thank you soooo much

  • 83. Megan Murphy  |  March 12th, 2008 at 12:21 pm

    As always another super idea from Yahoo. Please can you organise some nice backgrounds for our emails, it would be lovely to have a coloured background or soft scenes or bouquets of flowers in the corners etc. This is available on premium, but be super on the regular email site. Please allow my wish to come true. Three cheers for yahoo, yahoo yahoo.

  • 84. Fagin  |  March 12th, 2008 at 2:35 pm

    There should be a Yahoo business e-mail package. Where you have your own master login and can create passwords and issue to your employees, as well as disable there password entry, autoresponder into web back-end would be neat as well.

    I would definitly pay for this service especially if it had unlimited storage as well as a back-up vault mechanism and ssl as standard.

    Also when is Yahoo going to buy sKype, or merge, a nice skype interface would do the trick too. Peace out…..

  • 85. R I Masi  |  March 12th, 2008 at 3:16 pm

    The feature will be of immense help in handling attachments. Bravo Yahoo!

  • 86. Cathy Waters  |  March 12th, 2008 at 5:32 pm

  • 88. steven  |  March 12th, 2008 at 10:04 pm

    Another great feature I would like as a yahoo mail user is pop3 settings for free mail users. I also like the web interface but read all my other mail via a client like MS Outlook and Windows Live Mail.

  • 89. Andrew Johnston  |  March 13th, 2008 at 9:05 am

    Hi Yahoo, I have just downloaded Windows Vista home premium and having some problems with my VGA anti-virus upgrading but your Yahoo comes through loud and clear every time, many many thanks and keep up the good work please.

  • 90. Jim  |  March 13th, 2008 at 11:47 am

    Great news - works well. How about a reply all button now !!

  • 91. Beth Yates  |  March 13th, 2008 at 2:20 pm

    Hi,
    Great addition to a great email service, one complaint though is my email being treated as spam - even if I have added myself to my inbox as a known addressee, it still goes in my spam!!! Fine for me, because I look there, but not great for people I email who don’t check their spam inbox!!
    Any solutions coming??
    Beth

  • 92. Rodger Lutterodt  |  March 13th, 2008 at 5:34 pm

    I think a business that constantly listens to its customers and makes efforts to address their concerns is much cherished by all consumers;Yahoo has led the way. A leader by all indications. Great feature indeed! Well done.

  • 93. Philip Uren  |  March 13th, 2008 at 7:18 pm

    Yahoo Mail gets better and better - I have often wished that Yahoo had this feature and now it has - thanks.

  • 94. adedapo ogundimu  |  March 13th, 2008 at 7:26 pm

    is it possible to block people who are not on my contact list from sending unsolicited mails to me. it is very depressing having to delet e loads of messages everyday.

  • 95. Pierre Galea  |  March 14th, 2008 at 3:13 pm

    Yes I keep having the same problem as Brenda Clark above (Number 22). I can not open an attachment even though I click on the attachment box with my e-mail . It gives me option to download and when I click this option, it opens the download window and keeps transferring informations and never finishes. However, when I change to the Classic Version my attachments open normally!

  • 96. Patrick Nyagwande  |  March 15th, 2008 at 6:17 pm

    have just learnt about download all feature, that’s great any chance of introducing a feature to upload several attachments, that would be a real help.
    By the way, I have just converted a friend from Gmail to Yahoo, isn’t that just great awasome.

  • 117. MAHMOOD AHMED  |  March 19th, 2008 at 6:46 am

    we appreciate it.

  • 118. Odedoyin Musibau  |  March 19th, 2008 at 9:46 am

    The new system of downloading multiple information at a time is highly wellcomed as this will save time and cost respectively.

  • 119. Odedoyin Musibau  |  March 19th, 2008 at 9:58 am

    IIt is really an additional improvement that added value to the existing creativity that will take us to new level in information technology.

  • 123. Ande tura  |  March 19th, 2008 at 1:02 pm

    Very very useful and easy to use.
    This will keep one accessible to all the attachments at a glance

    I have just signed on with Bt. all these tips are very helpful. Thank you all

  • 128. Bob  |  March 26th, 2008 at 7:36 pm

    I have the same problem reported by 15, 22, 113 and 124. Sometimes I have a pdf file, that when I click download -> open, the download window appears and keeps transferring information but never finishes. I have another email provider and it opens just fine with it. Also, if I right click and select “save file as” it downloads a file named “Showletter”. Which is just a small HTML file. Any ideas?

  • 129. Rupen  |  March 28th, 2008 at 10:57 am

    The problem with opening attachments as mentioned by 15, 22, 113, 124 and 127 could be related to IE. I was getting the same issues until I used Firefox as the browser and it opens the attachments with no problems.

  • 130. Hugh  |  April 9th, 2008 at 10:36 pm

    I get a lot of attachments and find the ‘download aa’ very useful. It’s got to be better than twenty clicks!

  • 131. All-new Yahoo! Mail Photo&hellip  |  May 29th, 2008 at 5:00 pm

    [...] oohs and ahhs have worn off, this is what I REALLY like about this new feature… If you liked the download all feature, you’re really going to love this. ‘3’ allows you select from the attached pictures and only [...]

  • 132. John Williams  |  June 21st, 2008 at 3:27 pm

    I’m afraid I’m not a fan.

    The speed is dire and I cannot open an attachment at all, never mind several at once.

    Seriously thinking of ditching it altogether.

  • 133. Mike Borrie  |  July 8th, 2008 at 9:06 am

    The next tool needed is one to allow me to retain an email but delete attachments. The only current option seems to be deleting the whole email?

  • 134. John Williams  |  July 26th, 2008 at 3:11 pm

    How about being able to download just one email.

    I have been unable to view any attachments for months using BT Yahoo ! and there appear to be few ideas as to what is causing it.

    Before adding functionality, would it not be a good idea to consolidate by fixing these obvious issues first. I have seen this problem on so many sites. Problems, but no solutions.

  • 135. Kristy  |  August 6th, 2008 at 3:30 am

    This sucks I waited to attach a file for 2 hours and I just finally gave up. This sucks.
