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:
Calendar - We moved it from under "More" on the right hand side to it's own icon. Still on the right hand side, but it's now the first icon next to Starred and Contacts.

TIPS:
Disable Inbox Categories (All, Primary, etc) - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Inbox Categories.
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.
Sort By Sender - This is still a sorting option, but you must disable Conversation view under your Settings. Then you will see "Sender name"
Disable AI Summaries - Go to Settings > AI features > Toggle Off



COMING SOON!
Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon!




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




Thank you! 💜

  1. Make unread emails more distinguishable

    Unread emails in the new view don't stand out nearly as much on the page and it's incredibly frustrating! I hate the new look, the Tip of "Keep Folder Expanded" makes no sense and/or I am too stupid to follow the basic instructions. Either way, this entire new look is awful and I'm beyond irritated that I can't go back to the old look. Why do so many software companies revamp their product design when it was working JUST FINE the way it was??? Just leave the **** thing alone!

  2. Go back to the OLD Yahoo Mail.

    The new look is ugly and wants to mimic Gmail. I don't like Gmail. That's why I have Yahoo. Just stop trying to upgrade things.

  3. AI is useless

    Why the **** do I get a Add to Calendar button on emails with no date or events or anything?? If you AI is that inept (and it is) then why even have it? I turned it off in settings and I still have that **** cluttering up my inbox. I HATE AI

  7. Restoring highlight of selected messages and ability to hold shift to bulk select

    For some reason, when you select messages they are no longer highlighted. Previously the messages selected would all be highlighted, now it's just the first message selected. If you want to select a message (by sender for example) and then scroll down to bulk select those from the same sender, previously you could hold shift and select the message and it would select/highlight all messages between first selected and last selected. this no longer works....? upgrade--> downgrade?

  9. An idea: Give classic back

    The new yahoo mail is not good. I have said it once before and I am sure many others have too so I'll say it again. It looks disgusting. Forget what users think though right?

    P.S. I know you all won't change it but throwing my two cents out there.

  10. Ease of use gone.

    I really enjoyed how the layout was before but now it's super awkward. Before, the two accounts that I have were listed at the top and gave me a preview of how many emails I had in each email but now the accounts are listed at the bottom of the page and I can't tell how many emails are in them. Also, when I go into an email, there aren't any lines that separate each sectioin and everything just blends in. Before, I was able to see what was an ad, where the subject of the email started and ended,…

  11. Don't change things

    Did you consider that people used you because that's the way they like to view their emails and that changing things disrupts your utility.

  12. This new version is a downgrade to me.

    Quit removing features like the different sized views, so that you can add them again later and then act like you made an improvement.
    Do not force unwanted features on users. Not everyone wants things like streaks. In fact, most grownups are annoyed by gamification and random pop ups when they are trying to accomplish something. Just provide me with grown up email.

  13. Make it usable again

    emails are sorted into categories - INCORRECTLY. More than 1/2 in any category are in the WRONG ONE. And the instructions to disable categories DOES NOT WORK with the new interface.

    The new interface is ugly, and many features - like search - no longer work properly.

  14. More interface options

    Light and dark with no in between sucks donkey balls. A mid-range would be great, maybe some colors as well. Even US automakers give us more color options than two. Jerks.

  16. Get Rid of Achievements

    Maybe I am old-fashioned, but I do not need achievements for logging into my email, or sending attachments, or following links to pay bills. I am an adult doing adult, everyday life things. My inbox does not need to be a game.

  18. Offering a NON-CARTOON option

    Aside of the ***** head level of Enshittification Yahoo has shoved onto the world, can you admit it is just so you can end up like AOL and offer a Adult version of your email BEFORE the crackheads you hired changed it just for Job Justification. I mean, your going broke due to going woke, so how can you award the crackheads running Yahoo but also stay relevant in 2026 with so many dumping your cartoon like pages now for gmail?

  19. Go back to the original!!

    I really DON'T like your "new" look! I can no longer preview attached photos or move the page the way I like I have been with you for over 20 plus years and I AM a paying customer and from the bottom of my 75 year heart I can tell you that this just SUCKS!
