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!

  1. Link Preview in Emails

    In new Yahoo Mail, "Automatically generate a preview of links" is not working. It should be fixed or just allow users to go back to old Yahoo Mail. Thank you.

  3. typing email hitting tab sends the cursor to the send link & sends it

    you have to fix the problems of email typing & the tab key on the keyboard is not the send link for the email, you also have to put the scroll to the top back there again instead of having to continue to scroll up, maybe even be able to search via a Month & year something like that sure would be nice & you yahoo! can claim the fame with my idea & no plugarism

  4. Bring back the old version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is the worst version of yahoo. I will be changing email provider if you do not bring back the common sense! When I need to copy someone's email address during a reply, it does not let me because it only shows their name instead of the way it use to be (name <email>)! Everything about this new version is a pain in my ! No option to change to the lite version, no option to go back to the old version, nothing! You're becoming a piece of * and on top of not providing any end to encryption. I'll…

  5. New update crashes constantly

    Since the new update a few days ago, while you are drafting an email Yahoo will glitch and kick you out of the email you were typing on, or worse, send the email half finished. This new issue happens several times per minute, making Yahoo almost unusable.

  6. Composing an email is much harder

    I often compose outgoing emails in Word and then copy/paste into Yahoo Mail. The old system would convert the text to your formatting and spell-check the text. Now it just shows the very first line and everything else is shoved off to the right. This is highly inconvenient. I know you say there is no going back, but you certainly wrecked what was a good and functional composing window.

  8. Have option to change back to Classic especially for seniors. I am 82 years old and very unhappy with this new version

    I am 82 years old and do a volunteer local newsletter. I have used Yahoo email for over 25 years and so far have been very satisfied. For some reason without my permission I can no longer go back to Classic where I could see the whole message area, not have things popping up so I can't see what I am doing. There is no way you can convince me that this is an improvement. Please tell me how I can go back to the old Classic. Thank you!

  9. i find it very awkward only being allowed to view one email at a time

    the new tabs idea is not as useful as being able to open multiple emails. can you please give users the option to have two or more emails open at the same time as in the previous version. I find it very awkward to switch between them when only one can be viewed at a time

  10. glitching when writing new email

    When I am composing new email, every time it does a draft save, it glitches and shuts down my my message. I have to keep retrieving it from drafts. This is becoming a real pain. Please sort this out.

  11. Incorrect name permanently associated with my own email address

    Yahoo Mail persistently associates the name “Reynold Johnston” with my own email address, although I do not know anyone by that name and no such contact exists in my Yahoo Contacts.

    The incorrect name appears in autocomplete when I address an email to myself and when Yahoo Mail displays messages I send to myself. Clicking the X removes the suggestion temporarily, but it returns after Yahoo Mail is refreshed or reopened.

    My Yahoo Mail sending name is correctly set to Clement Schubert. The raw header of a test message correctly shows “From: Clement Schubert,” and recipients outside my account receive…

  14. Go back

    This update is really, really awful. The buttons to delete/move, etc. are no longer intuitive on the top of the inbox. The absolute worst thing is the preview reading pane is so extremely small, with this huge amount of wasted white space right above it (where the sender's email is), that is actually makes Yahoo email now unusable. Further, the tabs on the top of the inbox are now confusing and difficult to navigate and close. The ad pane is way too big compared to the inbox pane. If Yahoo doesn't go back immediately, I will start moving my emails…

    Hi Lindsay, we tried replicating this issue and it worked fine for us. So our team had additional questions...

    Can you tell us what browser and browser version you're using?

    How many contacts are in your list, and whether this happens every time or only sometimes?

    Last, a screen recording showing the issue would be very helpful.

    Thanks!!

  20. Sending Videos

    When I send a video of mine from Vimeo- I always got a Thumbprint ID so I knew the video I was sending was correct. With the NEW email I don't get that Thumbprint confirmation. I always wonder if the correct video I'm sending IS correct? You might want to re-add that feature on the NEW email. Other than that aspect it's ok.
