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. bring back feature to display all email accounts in the right-hand panel at a glance

    1. Please bring back the feature that displays all email accounts in the right-hand panel at a glance, allowing us to easily see which accounts have new emails. Currently, we have to make extra clicks to check our other email accounts. Only one account is visible now.

    2. There is too much wasted blank space at the top of the interface. This space could be used more effectively to display compact email summaries and the email reading pane.

    These features are crucial!!

  3. Links need to show preview

    Links do not show preview anymore on new Yahoo format. Can't differentiate between READ and UNREAD anymore with new format. Background too white and can't read. Dark mode too dark. Need a background to even it out like on the old Yahoo format.

  4. Read messages darker color

    I keep my read messages in my inbox folder, but the previous version made the read messages much darker so that it was easy to navigate through the read and unread messages by scrolling down (yes, I know I can just select "unread messages" to view those); however, it is nice to be able to look at what I have received in a single day (say, on Monday) and see what I have read and unread by how dark or light they are colored. Just something to consider. It probably wouldn't take much to make the read messages just shaded…

  5. Fire all your web UI designers!

    Please fire your web UI designers. The new design is awful and so difficult on your eyes! Get rid of the circle icons. We do not need or want it. All we want is to view our emails in a clean clear manner not with all the junk you just added. It's awful! How many time do I need to say how awful the design is?

  6. Enable blocking senders directly in the Spam mail.

    Previously this option was available. Apparently now senders can be blocked only from the In Box. This means having to transfer mail from the Spam Box to the In Box to block the senders, Very inconvenient.

    What an ill thought out upgrade. So annoyed with Yahoo. Also, if you wanted to make a decent change make the Calandar an App so I can see it on my phone.

    I really think you guys are absolute idiots ... it's like you haven't tested any upgrades in the real world !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. How about a recourse for dissatisfied customers?

    This new yahoo is nothing short of a massacre by existentialist ideologues,,, you have not IMPROVED ANYTHING , you have merely superimposed you new fangled ideas and left no way for customer recourse. Disgusting ! After nearly 50 years I may think of relocating my attentions elsewhere!

  12. Bring back search individual folder!!

    I have lots of messages in folders so when I want to search for a message in a particular folder, it now brings up the messages in ALL the folders. And now the search function doesn't even show what folder a message is actually in! Makes search absolutely worthless! Some things should NEVER be discontinued. And that is one that definitely should be brought back. Thanks.

  13. Perchè avete fatto una brutta copia di Gmail?

    Non si distinguono bene le mail lette da quelle da leggere, non sono abbastanza separate le varie sezioni, che prima avevano dei settori di colore differente. ERA MOLTO MEGLIO LA VECCHIA VERSIONE.

  14. Re-enable block sender

    In previous versions, mail sent to spam could be selected to add to the blocked list and delete. This was very useful and reduced future spam emails from unwanted email addresses. Now this feature is gone and requires manual adding which is time consuming and could be entered incorrectly due to manual typing.

  15. Dark mode Read/Unread emails hard to distinguish in the new UI update

    After the Yahoo Mail update, when using the Dark mode it became much harder to distinguish Read emails vs Unread. It's using the same font the same color, only the thickness is different.
    It's better implemented in Light mode.

  16. Stop changing it!!

    The way it was before the first "update" was working great, now it so hard to see and you try to click to delete something and opens it instead, very frustrating making me want to just stop using yahoo, stop messing with something that worked without your crazy updates!!!

  18. Distinguishment of text display

    The current theme makes it very difficult to distinguish between Read and Unread emails, while the old design was easy to spot and select. Suggest making the Read emails completely greyed out or maybe using smaller text so that the user can easily track how many unread emails there are.

    Or provide more theme color options? Just bright and dark are not helpful
