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.

Photos View - We added it to the sorting drop down in the top, right hand side of your Inbox. Click on that icon, and you'll see "More Filters" at the bottom, from there you can filter by Attachments and Photos in emails.

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
Unread Count - You can hover over "Inbox" to see the Unread count or you can expand the left hand column and Unread will be in the column below Inbox with the unread count. No hovering.



COMING SOON!
Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon!

Unsubscribe Button in Subject Line - We are moving it out of the way!



**Please do NOT post about Account, Password, Login issues here. It will be deleted. Please go to help.yahoo.com.




Thank you! 💜

  1. Restore Archive's easy access

    I finally reorganized my email to be stored in the Archive folder but now the redesign removes the quick, easy access to the Archive.

    From the Inbox, I select messages and there's no way to move them to Archive. When I click the Move icon > select Folder > Archive isn't even listed or available to get to. The only option is to open every email individually, then click ... > Archive.

    Yikes.

  3. Get rid of the "starred messages that I want to remember" panel

    This panel should be entirely optional. I already exhaustively categorize my email at least twice a week and do not want/need a panel taking up a third of my screen space to "help" me remember where messages are. It's horrific. I suggest the ability to truly customize one's settings by hiding this panel.

  4. I like being able to "star" messages in the email list

    I like to be able to "star" messages in the email list. With the new redesign, you can only "star" a message when inside an email. Please change it so that we can "star" messages in the email list.

  5. Enable users to have a default view of the inbox with previews of messages and without a pane

    Enable users to have a default view of the inbox with previews of messages and without a pane (such as a starred messages pane, a contact pain, or a calendar pane).

    It should be possible to do this under "Appearance" in "Settings".

  6. Put the STAR symbol back on the left side of the email list

    Put the STAR symbol back on the left side of the email in the email list. It is a pain in the trackball to have to slide the cursor over to the right side to activate the STAR.

  7. Sidebar Area

    Please make the default for the sidebar on the right (shows icons for starred, settings, contacts, etc) be minimized instead of expanded. It takes up too much room on the screen. If it has to stay, please make the default minimized and not maximized.

  8. Make Starred menu hideable

    I need to see as much of the email body as possible when reading it. If you choose to view on the side, it's pointless since you only see about an inch or two of screen. Choosing bottom view requires scrolling to read the whole email.

    Please make it so the Starred emails on the right can be hidden as they take up too much space. I was fine with how I accessed starred previously. This new layout is unusable.

  9. Make the Starred/Contacts Box Hideable

    That box on the right is a waste of space -- including the space below it, which is empty. It interferes with the preview pane, relegating it to like 1/4 of a view of the previewed email. Thanks.

  10. OPTION TO DISABLE STAR VEIW RIGHT SIDE - WORSE THAN POP UP ADS ON RIGHT - which was only reason I subscribed to Yahoo Mail Plus.

    FIRST, LET ME SAY I HATE NEW YAHOO MAIL FORMAT. I AM ONE OF FEW REMAINING YAHOO MAIL USERS THAT DID NOT SWITCH TO GMAIL. I HAVE WASTED TOO MUCH TIME IN LAST 2 DAYS TRYING TO WORK WITH YOUR NEW FORMAT. I NEED OPTION TO ELIMINATE RIGHT COLUMN WITH STARRED EMAILS. THIS IS AS BAD AS THE ADS THAT FORCED ME TO SUBSCRIBED TO YAHOO MAIL PLUS @ $5.00 A MONTH TO ELIMINATE.

  11. Setting to hide Starred/Contacts by default

    I am not a fan of the box on the right listing Starred/Contacts. I always collapse it every session. That is annoying. Please add a setting to collapse Starred/Contacts by default. Other than that, the new mail is decent.

  12. Screen is too busy

    Too much of the page is taken up by all of the "new" features. Makes it very hard to use. It seems a little strange that 100% of the function of my email account with you, which is to read emails, can now only be viewed on 30% of the screen. There is too much going on with the "new" features. Can we eliminate or at least hide the huge margin taken up on the right side of the screen? Thank you!

  14. Make it so the email is across more of the screen. (You cannot see the full screen!)

    Make it so you can see across the full screen. I don't need Starred Messages on the right side all the time. (This is not better than the old version guys!)

  15. Bring Back "Star Message" in Mailbox View

    Please reinstate the option to star a message directly from the mailbox view rather than having to open the message and activate the star from the inside of the email itself.

  16. Starred is a pain in my butt right now

    I would like the Option of contact calendar OR starred upfront on my mail page where EVERYONE can see. I need to reorganize my mailbox with no warning so I can keep things handy but not in public view.
