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.

Unfortunately, you cannot revert back. We are only making the new one better. We know change is frustrating and hard but we really hope you'll give the new layout a fair chance.


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!

Thank you! 💜

  1. Unread v. Read Contrast

    The contrast between read and unread emails in this new yahoo is unrecognizable. There needs to be greater contrast or a different color to differentiate between the two. I DO NOT LIKE THE NEW LOOK!

  2. Microsoft Teams invites

    You had this feature before, but now I can no longer accept invites from Micorsoft Teams in my email. I have my email linked to my google calendar so the solution to add invites to my yahoo mail are useless. This would be one of the biggest reasons I may have to stop using yahoo if you guys can't fix this.

  3. Inbox Categories Options

    In playing with my email settings (and realizing I definitely prefer having the inbox categories disabled), I've realized that the option to presort/filter my mail with a quick button click is actually really handy. Here are some ideas for tweaking it to make it more user-specific.

    1. Please please please, let me set which filter I want as my default and/or allow the option to just go back to the last used filter. I hate that it keeps going back to the 'priority' filter.

    2. It would be nice to be able to select which filters I want being used. I don't…

  4. Yahoo Mail displays incorrect sender name in Sent emails

    My Yahoo Mail account recently started displaying my husband's name, Lawrence Gieseke, instead of my name, Anne Gieseke, whenever I open an email in my Sent folder.

    I have verified that:

    My Yahoo account profile correctly says Anne Gieseke.

    My sending name under Settings > Mailboxes is correct.

    The actual email header says From: Anne Gieseke.

    Recipients see my correct name.

    My contacts do not contain an entry for Lawrence Gieseke.

    The issue persists in Chrome Incognito mode.

    I have also changed my Yahoo password and enabled two-step verification.

    Please investigate why Yahoo Mail displays Lawrence Gieseke with the initials…

  7. The Inbox width has Reduced

    The Inbox width has Reduced. I am not able to view the list completely, need to scroll. Even the horizontal scrollbar did not work just now.

    I did not change the settings. I would like to go back to the Inbox screen which was displayed last week

  8. Awful New UI - I want to focus on emails not the header and footer!!!

    The new Yahoo UI is awful, and there is no way to go back to what it was before.

    I liked the way that the Inbox was the priority of the screen, and the email took up most of the screen so that l could focus on it. And there is no badge showing the number of unread emails.

    How can l revert back to what was there before? Who decided this was the way to go?

  9. The font color for already read emails and new unread emails should be different colors or font styles..

    I can't easily tell already read emails from new unread emails anymore. The old version had a slightly darker and less bold font for emails that were already read on my front page and I liked that look much more. I don't want to have to select a new category to be able to see which emails are new or not when i want to look at all of my recent emails. You need to either make that distinction more clear, by making unread and read emails look different, like they used to in the classic version, or allow users…

  12. Give options to minimize ai presence

    I don't need AI and don't use it. I am capable of reading and forming my own thoughts without using it. I really hate this mail constantly trying to force me to interact with things I do not want to use. Please let me just use my email with less senseless cluttering.

  16. Interface not good looking

    Too much wasted space, need a more compressed line spacing, the old one was a little better. Too many popups of offers etc. Can't show the calendar/tasks on the right sidebar, now the calendar button just opens a new window/tab. Can't seem to find a way to change the theme/color. Stop trying to be gmail, if we wanted to use gmail, we already would be. If you want to copy something copy Outlook Classic. No option to block when selecting multiple spam emails.

  19. Email

    I am unable to see the full email address of the sender when the email is too long. This is very convenient for scammers to scam users with a long email that looks like official emails

  20. Return to original inbox

    Do not need priority....but I want to be able to read more of my inbox e-mail w/out opening to see if it is something I want or interested in.....like it was prior. This way I have to open to see what it is about and then go back and delete.
