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. RESTORE MESSAGE FILTERING INTO FOLDERS AS BEFORE

    Filtering incoming messages to folders has gone from a 2 second process into a nightmare. All I can see is that it will take a minute or more if I can figure out how to do it.

  2. consistency

    The icons at the top of the screen are not terribly intuitive, but if you have to use the two envelopes, then please keep them in the same place whether the user is on the Inbox screen or within a specific message. On both screens, the "Move" icon is directly to the left of the trash, but on the inbox, the "mark as read/unread" is to the right of the trash, while in the email message screen itself, that option is positioned two actions to the left of the trash. I waste much time clicking the wrong icon, marking as…

  3. Put filters back and change this cartoon looking interface back to something more adult looking

    Put the filters back. You all let entirely too much spam through to not give us an option to at least make filters.

  4. Don't launch a New Design with "Designed for use by toddlers!" version only!

    "COMING SOON!
    Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon!"
    WRONG!!
    This is the WHOLE problem! You made my Maibox look like Kiddie time at Chucky Cheese!?!?
    Are you 12 years old over there?!?
    Who's idea was it to launch with Mr Magoo size 24pt Font?!
    Sorry, this is the last straw. Your last change was bad enough and I still don't like THAT one, and NOW, NOW you change it to this "Designed for a toddler to use!" version!

  5. contrast for older eyes

    I only see dark and light for contrast and reading. Some contrast are hard to see with older eyes. This is very difficult to look at.

  6. Stop pretending your AI knows how to sort my mail

    Please stop pretending your AI knows how to sort primary mail, offers, social, etc. It's really bad at it, and it just annoys me to have to keep switching to All mail every single time so I don't miss the things that actually matter. And stop requiring access to my profile just to pass along feedback.
    Thanks.

  7. Better Filter Options

    When I filter, I would like to be able to filter by the folder that something is in. We used to be able to do that in the prior (better) version.

    Secondly, a little bit ago I asked if we could have the ability to turn off the streak feature. And I was told that it is possible. But the streak symbol still shows up on the web version and on the app. And there is no button to turn it off.

  8. Stop stuff like today's "Boo-tastic" pop up from popping up.

    Recently a big square box has been appearing in the middle of my screen advertising, or whatever you call it, keeping my streak going. Give us a way to have that NOT appear.

  9. Make filter settings easier as it was previously

    In the previous version of Yahoo Mail, I could set filters up from my inbox from a dropdown menu and selecting "filter messages like this". Now I have to go into settings find the filter option, find the details of the message that are pertinent to creating a filter and proceed from there. It's much to cumbersome and is definitely not an improvement over what was available previously. Please return the previous functionality of the filter creation process.

  10. messages cutoff on the rightbox

    the messages now are bunched up so tight that I cannot read the sender name or the message. put an arrow on the right box so I can close it and open the messages wider so i can read them without having to open each one of them .

  11. I want to write emails the way I alway do

    Your new system makes me respond to emails at the bottom. I want to do as I always have, the top! I like to see the most recent and current correspondence at the top. NOT the bottom

  12. Get spam filters working

    I’ve received 10 sexually explicit emails in my inbox, not in my spam folder. I’ve labeled these spam for the last week. No change. Please help, or I will need to delete Yahoo Mail
    And move to a non-pornagraphic new email.

  13. allow option for previous version which included blocking sender

    I would prefer to be able to block sender.
    I find the new version awkward but suspect I can adjust to it eventually although I think there may be at least one bug as the background changed to black without any obvious action and finding the previous text too a couple of mins.

  15. Fix the screen layout

    The new layout gives less space for the previews of the messages so I can't actually read the emails in preview as I could before and can't reach the links, as I could before.

  18. Tab should indent text not move to the next button

    Tab key is moving to other sections of the screen. Twice I have hit tab to intent a line and must have moved to the send button. I accidentally sent 2 emails in the process of being written.

  20. Bring Back Search Capabilities

    You made the desktop application similar to the mobile app in terms of the search functionality. It's annoying, not helpful, and defeats the purpose of organizing emails into folders if you can't search each folder individually, or filter by folder. Please bring back that feature.
