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. Option to move words in Spam subject line to Trash

    I won’t open the Spam folder because I keep receiving emails with the “F” word in the subject. My suggestion, recommendation is to provide an option to have subject words sent directly to Trash. I could then enter that word and never have to see it again, making it safe for me to open the Trash folder to catch emails I actually want to rescue. Thank you for your consideration and many thanks if you make this happen. If it’s already available, PLEASE tell us where to find it.

  2. Two Questions

    1. What is "Ad Free"?
    2. What is the large blank box on the far right side of the display for? It eats up a large portion of the message content display. If it must be there, can you allow a sizing option for the message content display?

  3. Make Dark Mode DARK instead of gray!!!

    First off, the new yahoo mail is terrible & I can't change it back. With that out of the way, yes, I know how to change between light & dark mode in yahoo mail. The problem is that the email section is not black, it is gray! This is what makes it look so bad & makes it hard to read. Please give me the option to make it dark! Make that area the same as the "inbox, unread, starred, sent, etc" area. THEN it might be doable. This gray look is terrible! FIX IT!!!

  4. The spacing of the email app is excessive - I much prefer the option of compressing the view to get more on the screen at a time

    please allow the capability of adjusting the layout by removing the spacing between emails and folders. I want to see the list of emails without all the scrolling required. the current layout is a huge waste of screen space

  6. Get rid of the colored balls at the beginning of each email in Inbox! What a mess!

    All that clutter is very annoying and serves absolutely no purpose.

    Also get rid of that word in little blue letters that now steals space from the subject line on some incoming emails. It is for me to decide which emails are important to me. You should not be cluttering up the inbox with an attempt to highlight some of my emails.

  9. add a NORMAL CONTRAST option and increase the actual inbox/email area size

    this is ridiculous - this NEW Yahoo mail is HORRIBLE - the AD BANNER on the side takes up almost two-thirds of the entire screen, leaving only a narrow column for the inbox and reading emails - you can't even see more than 40 characters wide to read a complete sentence at a time!!! the AD BANNER across the top makes it even worse, so now there is only a tiny box where you can only see a few lines, it is literally three times the amount of screen dedicated to ads than actual content and majes it aggravatingly unusable.

  12. Bad for my eyes!

    This layout is very difficult for me to use. After 30 years of Yahoo mail, I guess I'll just have to drop it.

  14. Reduce inbox spacing

    If the spacing between messages was reduced it would be easier to see more messages on one page.

  16. Just leave the thing alone and sack the people who keep playing with it!

    Having the original dark blue border focuses the eye on the e-mails. Now it is all white nothing stands out so it becomes a chore to use.

  19. Return the "Yesterday" and "Last Week" headings in the list of one's emails.

    Previously in one's list of emails there was a heading inserted in the list saying "Yesterday" for ones more than a day old and another one later in the list saying "Last Week" for emails more than a week old. These headings were very helpful when trying to find an older email by quickly being able to go to the section where the email might be. I would also add a "Last Month" heading for the same reason.
