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!



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. Re-arranging accounts

    In the past, before you changed the platform, I was able to re-arrange my accounts on the left side menu. I can't do that in the Classic or New platform. I do not like the changes at all. I'm currently in the Classic because I hated the new Platform. But you still made some changes to the Classic. Why did you remove being able to rearrange accounts?

  2. Make the unsubscribe button on the emails smaller, or different location

    I keep hitting it when I just want to open or move an email, and I am on a laptop, not even a phone

  3. Move Unread Folder up on the left side bar or give us the option to customize our side bar.

    Move Unread Folder up on the left side bar or give us the option to customize our side bar. I use the unread tab every day to see what's new and mark my emails as "read" quickly. With the new design, the Unread folder is now hidden under the three dots and requires an extra click every time I'd like to navigate to it. If for some reason it doesn't make sense to move the unread box up for everyone, then let us customize our own side bars or restore the option to revert back to Classic Mail. Thanks!

  4. Sort by Sender Not Working

    The new sort feature "by sender" is almost completely useless. It doesn't sort all the messages by the sender. Also, if I highlight a message and then do a shift-hold and click on the end of a string of emails I want to delete, the selection tool does not work — it selects a random set of emails, not the ones I wanted to select. The previous version worked so much better. Ugh.

  6. Folder pinning

    There needs to be a way to pin frequently used folders instead of burying them under a folder icon.

  8. Collapse of right-hand menu box not remembered

    When viewing my inbox, and I collapse the right-hand menu box that contains shortcuts to the calendar and settings, it doesn't get remembered and I must collapse it again, often multiple times a day. This is annoying.

  12. new email "jumping"

    clicking on a message keeps making the screen "jump" so then you cannot either remember what you clicked on, or need to check it again to delete multiple emails. Very very annoying. The other issue is that reporting SPAM or Phishing is not easy - there used to be an email we could forward it to. NOW to report it directly - how can you do this when you can't even get to the email since the reporting is a separate link altogether? In addition, we would have to back track, take pic, and then navigate again to the reporting…

  13. Add Migrate Button for Linked Accounts

    I want to transfer my messages from a previous provider to Yahoo! Mail. After that, I want to close my account with that provider.

    Linking accounts doesn't allow that.

    Please provide a Migrate or Import button for this purpose. It will be helpful for at least many users.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

  15. Your new format doesn't let me sort by sender. Please bring that back ASAP!

    I want to be able to sort any folder, including the Inbox, by Sender or Subject to help me find a particular e-mail buried in a folder.

  16. sort by sender no longer works. I used to be able to sort by sender and delete in bulk but if does not sort properly

    you removed a very useful feature or broke it. I clearly see the same sender separated by several others. I do not know what it is sorting by, but it is not by sender. Why should I waste time deleting emails (and saving you storage space) when it takes hours. It is not worth my time.

  17. MAKE IT AN OPTION TO GO BACK TO CLASSIC MAIL

    I hate the new layout and hate is a very strong word to use but valid in this case. Allow users to have the option. Thinking of creating a gmail account and quitting yahoo after having my yahoo account for 20+years.

  18. Please offer us this option

    "Sign in with your fingerprint or code
    With a passkey, you can sign in quickly using your fingerprint or the code you use to unlock your device."

    I have neither the need nor the desire to add this level of security to my personal e-mail. I would like to see the option to never see this pop-up again after signing in.

  20. Terrible Redesign

    Get rid of the circle icons of whoever is sending the email. And stop making the ads look like emails so we accidently click on them. So frustrating this terrible new design. And now I have to so searching for my folders to see any new sorted emails instead of just seeing all of the expanded on the side. Terrible redesign.
