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?
Search by Sender - Just hover over the sender's profile image and a spyglass icon will appear where you can search all emails by that sender.
Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off
Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.
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.



COMING SOON!
Differentiate Unread v. Read - Better ways to see the difference.
Resize Images - Resize an image within the message.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.
Right Hand Column - Ability to minimize: Contacts, Starred, More (Currently for Yahoo Mail Plus subscribers)


TIPS:
Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.
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.
Dark Mode - Go to Settings > Appearance.

  1. Add a "compact" view to the email interface

    Paddings are way too large, text is too big:
    - Around the top nav bar
    - The rows with the emails are way too large, I'd like to see more of them on my screen
    - The buttons are way too big they have too much padding

    Other issues :
    The search bar is not centered in the middle
    Hovering over the rows (emails) has an outer box shadow which feels clunky, I prefer the subtle highlights.
    The new message button is HUGE too much padding and margins

  2. Have a setting to remove the icons from each line of the inbox.

    All those icons are just visual clutter. I don't like them.

  7. reduce line spacing

    I need to have less line spacing in my Inbox - there is now no setting for this - it needs to be closer spacing so I get more entries on my screen

  8. Contacts

    Further development of the Contacts section is urgently needed. Please insert an option to bulk delete all contacts. Add more possibilities to import/export with Outlook (classic). Add a possibility to handle contacts in a big screen and to sort them, edit them, merge them.

  10. Get rid of the new colored box around the text area.

    I don't understand the purpose of the new highlighted box in the To field and in the text area. A simple cursor is sufficient.

    And then at some point, the box goes away.

  12. Change the "cancel subscription" location

    It should be nice that "cancel subscription" won't appear immediately on hovering over the email message, otherwise one risks to click on it rather than opening the email.

  15. first impression and suggestion for new version

    Dear Yahoo mail team,
    I like new version, it is faster, newer.
    The first thing I would ask to improve is -
    when a new message with attachments come, I cannot jump to attachments by simply clicking on attachment sign, button, it is like a picture, not functioning.
    And if in the attachment there are MS excel and PDF files, they all look similar, in old version we could clearly see what file is excel what file is pdf what file is word by their color, appearance.

  18. Compact Email List

    Looking forward for an option to make the emails list more compact. Currently, the email list items occupy too much height. Making the list more compact helps quick visual scanning of emails subjects/titles.
