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!

  4. How do I go back to the older version of the email layout?

    How do I go back to the previous version of the layout for email? The new on is disjointed. The layout is not as functional. The look ...I don't like it.

  6. external image suppression

    Hi.
    Under "Show images in messages," I click "Ask before showing external images," but it repeatedly reverts to "Show images in messages, Always, except in spam folder."

    It should keep my setting.

  8. Email List button - fix

    I was switched over to the new yahoo mail and am finding that when I
    am sending email using an "email list" the button stating "email this list" is not loading
    the email address in the address line...
    The chatbot told me to type in the name of the list - which worked but why is this not working?
    This "new yahoo" has been out for a long time - I went back to the old system because I did not like
    many things about it and now I am finding this bug... besides the fact that the color selections…

  9. Sent Folder - Mass Actions

    I'm trying to clean up my sent folder. There is no way to select multiple messages and do a mass action on them such as delete, move, archive, mark read/unread. You have to do them one message at a time. Bring back all of the action buttons that used to be at the top and also the select all messages checkbox. I don't know why these aren't there. Should be at least consistent with the other folders especially because the sent folder is one of the main folders in any email app.

  10. Search returns no results. Fix this NOW!

    Yahoo Mail search returns zero results for messages that are visibly present in my Inbox. The issue began this week and occurs across multiple devices and access methods, including web mail. Exact sender-address searches also return no results.

  11. Fix crash loop on new interface when hovering over order confirmations

    My account was updated to the new Yahoo Mail interface. There is a critical rendering crash on the main inbox page. Every time my mouse cursor hovers over an online order confirmation email in my list, the entire inbox crashes instantly and redirects to the purple error screen stating "Yahoo Mail has encountered a problem."

    This happens even in Incognito mode, but the same email opens perfectly fine on the Yahoo Mail mobile app. The issue is tied to how the new desktop web interface pre-fetches the automated code layout of order receipts on mouse hover. Please implement error handling…

  12. Mail.... be able to collapse the folder. I get you want us to buy ad free. The ads on the right are so big it's 1/3 of the screen.

    I'm not paying to get rid of the ads. I have a gmail account also. If Yahoo wants to keep making this worse I'll just transition to gmail.

  14. Improve on your spam and junk email process

    I will be going with another email service as I am tired of getting constant spam and **** emails from the UK from addresses acting like mine and or just very random email address all from the same place. Yet you all cant keep them from my inbox or spam and only allow 1k blocks and 3 web emails to block. This is a complete joke and for someone who has had this email for 20+ years I cant wait to move on to a better platfrom that protects from sicking **** emails.

  15. Get the new stuff working smoothly

    Idea: Get New Yahoo Mail working smoothly very soon or I, and no doubt others, will be leaving. This NYM seems potentially good (better than the last attempt, which was complex and dysfunctional, but at least optional, so I rejected it). This NYM looks easy to use on the surface, but it isn't working well yet - log-on is indirect and slow, old messages seem to have lost their texts, and writing new messages to send is unstable (I checked on my other email services, and it's definitely NYM instability, not my computer or web link).

  18. Too much trouble using both legacy att.net and comcast.net on Yahoo, so now I'm stuck with only one.

    There must be a way to prevent getting locked out of att.net email after the comcast.net transition? I just can't find it.

  20. Make this app way less of a memory hog

    Some news to you may be that everyone does not have endless resources.
    My PC is stuck at 16g of memory and is not upgradeable.
    My business has taken a bit of a hit lately so not a lot of disposable dollars to invest in a new computer.
    So why can Yahoo Mail not have a way of having an app that does not suck up 1.9GB of my available memory when Gmail only takes 585MB, Facebook only 637MB,TrainingPeaks only 667MB, Outlook only 315MB?

    It has gotten to the point that I rarely open YM and then close it once…
