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!


WHAT'S NEW?
Search by Sender - Just hover over the sender's profile image and a spyglass icon will appear where you can search all emails by that sender.
Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off
Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.
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.



COMING SOON!
Differentiate Unread v. Read - Better ways to see the difference.
Resize Images - Resize an image within the message.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.
Right Hand Column - Ability to minimize: Contacts, Starred, More (Currently for Yahoo Mail Plus subscribers)


TIPS:
Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.
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.
Dark Mode - Go to Settings > Appearance.

  2. Hard to distinguish between read and unread mail in dark mode after recent change.

    Now the only indication in dark mode that an item has been read is the dot to the left of a message is no longer visible. It would be great if the item was black instead of gray similar to the hover action. I believe this was the case in previous versions. The class that changes when hovered is here: #Atom .j4_n:hover
    {
    box-shadow: none;
    }

    If this would happen when read that would help with readability.

    Thanks,

  3. 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.

  4. Add a "compact" view to the email interface

    Paddings are way too large, text is too big:
    - Around the top nav bar
    - The rows with the emails are way too large, I'd like to see more of them on my screen
    - The buttons are way too big they have too much padding

    Other issues :
    The search bar is not centered in the middle
    Hovering over the rows (emails) has an outer box shadow which feels clunky, I prefer the subtle highlights.
    The new message button is HUGE too much padding and margins

  5. Give me a way to remove the little gamification "goals" (or whatever it's called) "feature." It is annoying!!

    The "feature" pops up on top of other things I want to access when I hit its goals and on opening my mail program, is visually annoying, and for me is completely unnecessary. I manage my inbox JUST FINE without having some kind of arbitrary goals for cleaning it up doing pop-ups on my screen. I cannot for the life of me find how to turn it off, make it invisible, etc etc. Maybe a "theme" that is "no widgets" would do it? I don't really want to revert to the old yahoo mail just to get rid of this…

  6. Account ID

    I like this format, but I have 3 email address with you (1 private, 1 for subscriptions and 1 for my startup company) it would be great if the I could immediately identify which account I'm using, to avoid send an email from wrong email. As of now the email ID is at the bottom left corner and shows initials but they all have the same color and couldn't find a way to customize them in setup (change color or upload a small picture for example). Also, it might be wiser if you'd have that on the top, closer to…

  13. In Dark Mode, links in a mail's text are not highlighted in color

    In Dark Mode, links in a mail's text are not highlighted in color, but in the same color as the rest of the text.

    Links which are not underlined are not recognizable as links.
