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!




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




Thank you! 💜

  1. 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.

  2. Icons are to big

    It means i have to scroll more, it all looks rather childish. Please allow us to disable email senders icons. You're increasingly making Yahoo annoying to use.

  5. 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.

  7. Toggle to remove Starred Emails pane

    The Starred Emails pane eats valuable screen real estate. I'm glad I can minimize it but the fact that I have to minimize it every time I visit yahoo mail is insanely bad UX. Opening and closing the pane should be a persisted state, and a user should be able to toggle it entirely Off as well.

    Additionally, there should be ONE toggle to permanently de-gamify yahoo mail. Infuriating.

  8. Converting to Gmail after nearly 30 years

    Well, Yahoo! finally forced me to pull the plug on their email product. Your new web email interface with nearly zero controls is the final straw in a long line of shortening straws. The amount of dead white space is maddening. This does not scale on a 13 or 15" monitor. A very shameful UX experience. Have no idea who you used for UX testing but boy, did they fail completely.

  10. I can no longer preview images in an email

    Previously, when I would hover over the small square image icon in my email list, I could see a preview of the attachment without opening the email. Now, when I attempt to do that, I get a pop up with the Delete button right over the image icon, making it unclickable. Very bad design.

  12. Fix Email

    Please make customization of how the new (awful) email appears on-screen have a greater number of options. Both the "light" and "dark" options are poor for us BOOMERS. We need higher contrast and I used to be able to change areas to best suit ME - THE USER.

  14. Allow me to block emails without first opening them

    with the new email I can no longer block an email without opening (I do not have anywhere near 1000 blocked emails!) it and I need to be able to Block Spam messages that I keep getting. The new email is absolutely terrible I can't even fit emails and the messages on the same screen.

    Also stop deciding what are Primary emails for me just show me all my emails

  18. Separate into days

    I am getting used to the new format and think that it will work OK. Could you please separate the days by either a space or line. It is a cluttered look with all of the emails running together, especially on a small screen (phone or Tablet). Not so bad on a desktop.

  19. You need a better way to sort/organize/view filters!

    You allow up to 500 filters. However, you allow for duplicate filters to be made. When viewing the list of filters, there is virtually no way to sort or organize or categorize the filters in order to figure out if there are any filters that can be deleted. Additionally, the two buttons to raise or lower a filter are only found at the top of the list, so when you scroll down to find a filter that you might want to raise towards the top, those buttons stay at the top so you have to scroll all the way back…

  20. hide sender icons

    Please allow me to turn off the icons next to the senders' names. They make the viewing experience obnoxious and busy and they all look like junk mail. Some of us would like a more streamlined, minimalistic view. Otherwise it looks like I'm on some ad-loaded, immature, suspicious-link website for children who play computer games. Please give us an option to hide those from our inbox view. It'd be a much more pleasurable user interface.
