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!

  1. Colors

    Please restore my old format of the Yahoo Mail.Please restore the colors, design and everything as it was. I can't distinguish between new mails and ads, there's no structure, everyuthing seems just a bunch of mixed trash in an Inbox. UGLY UGLY UGLY and worst of all, confusing and non funcional. Please restore my Yahoo Mail, especially the INbox with its format and design

  2. NEW EMAIL AND UNREAD IN DARK MODE HARD TO DIFFERENTIATE

    In the new version of Yahoo Mail, any read and unread messages in dark mode are so hard to differentiate. It was better in the older version.

  3. I would like to be able to change the color of the background (not just dark and light)

    I don't like the appearance of either the Light or Dark modes. It's difficult to see the difference between read and unread emails. The light is too white. If I could shade the background a little, that would help a lot.

  4. Bring back personalized themes

    Backgrounds or themes enable the differentiation between email accounts where you have more than one

  5. I do not like how is it design. It is not friendly user

    I would like to return to the classic view because has two different colors that made it easier to read. All white or all black is hard to read and is not beautiful

  7. not satisfied with new email center and want to change back to the old one

    I do not like the new layout or current themes available. I liked it better when emails were simple text and had more options to personalize email layout. I do not need to see sender pictures either as it just clutters the space. Add a feature so we can remove them if we want.

  8. Classic View

    Bring back the classic view! The new view is poorly designed and does not address people's needs for their vision.

    If not addressed soon I may have to switch email vendors.

  9. More appearance options

    The actual light and dark mode options are dreadful and make reading and seeing emails very difficult. Please for the love of god bring back some of the old themes, layouts and appearances. Or at least create new colour schemes, font choices and designs so we can adjust our inboxes to our preferences. The emails were perfect before. I don't see why you felt the need to fix something that wasn't broken. A completely unnecessary change.

  10. Leveling Up

    Dear Yahoo,

    I am not checking my email and pretending it is a game. Please stop with the "leveling up" and challenges. I just want to see my email. I am not here for awards.

  11. back ground scenery

    with different agents...each agent had a different background so at a glance I knew the person by my scenery.....I can no longer do that and it is very frustrating. I want my background back.

  12. Email Plane Area

    Would like the section that contains the email subjects and other info (both read and unread) to be the same darker color as the sides and back ground. The sides and background are black but the email section and the email content section are a more of a gray color. I think it would look better if the unread and read email section were the black color. You could make it the black color and have unread email the more gray color to distinguish between unread and read emails so that way unread is the dark grey color and read…

  13. Allow Classic Yahoo mail again

    The new yahoo mail is not an improvement. There was no need to change from the Classic Yahoo mail. I much prefer the Classic Yahoo mail. I have given the new theme a chance.
    To be honest this change is quite disappointing and cumbersome to the point I am highly motivated to use a different email provider all together. I have used yahoo mail primarily for over 23 years now but this forced move might be too much to put up with. Please allow for the option to revert back to the Classic theme. Thank you.

  15. Message Window Too Small

    Each email message has too big of a heading area (summary) at the top and the body of the message is way too small. I can't stand this new layout.

  16. One single setting to disable all gamification

    I can't believe I have to actually describe this, but instead of making a user dig through various menus to turn off individual portions of the gamification "features," there should be one simple OPT-IN setting to turn on/off all gamification features in yahoo mail.

  17. Bring back choice for Classic/Basic layout

    Dear Yahoo Team,
    The new Yahoo Mail design is very cluttered, confusing, and hard to read. The previous version was much cleaner, more organized, and far more user-friendly. Please consider giving users a choice to switch back to the Classic/Basic Mail version if they prefer it, while allowing others to keep the new layout. Many of us need the older, simpler layout for practical daily use.
    Thank you.

  18. Move to a more text based view

    The new yahoo mail plus format is too graphical, i just want text, no bubbles for the sender, the option for a smaller fonts so I can list all of the mail on one screen, and be able to remove the box on the right that is the started messages, contacts and config, this new format is almost unusable....

  19. Different Backgrounds

    Hello, with the new yahoo mail, there is only the option to switch between white and black backgrounds, neither of which have really good visual contrast for checking mails. Can you please re-introduce the themes / background images?

  20. Don't like the new theme/UI.

    Hi. The old UI was so much better and didn't hurt my eyes to look at it.. I mean I don't even know if large chested anime girls with kittens could save this UI.. but I get it.. you need to show you are doing 'something' to show you are doing your job.. and as we on the internet transition to long term providers, such as yourself.. I mean in 1999, when I made my Yahoo account.. I could have had my first name @yahoo.com .. it was available, but I liked the anonymity of a user name.. I digress,…
