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! 💜

  2. Stop the mouseover popups.

    Back in the day it was considered poor web design to use mouseovers because you shove feces into some poor slobs face that stopped moving the mouse and not because they want you to be stupid thinking you have a clue as to what people are doing.
    The mouse not moving is not a click to confirm that is what I WANT TO DO.
    Just because you lemmings are too lazy to click the mouse to see something if you want to see something doesn't mean THE REST OF THE WORLD IS INCAPABLE OF THINKING FOR THEMSELVES.

  3. Observation

    1) In the new view, when we hover the mouse over an email, options such as Star, Delete, and Read/Unread appear, while the attachment icon gets hidden. This creates confusion when trying to identify and delete emails without attachments, as it becomes difficult to distinguish between emails with and without attachments.

    2) Earlier, when multiple emails were selected using the checkboxes for deletion, the selected emails were highlighted, making them easy to identify. However, in the new version, the selected emails are no longer highlighted, making it difficult to distinguish them from the unselected emails.

  4. I don't like new appearance.

    New appearance is not easy-to-use. Yes, It's user-friendly but it's difficult to see the difference of the unread message and the read one. I preferred the old version.

  6. sort by sender

    I disabled conversation and still no sort by sender. This was the most valuable option available on yahoo and you ruined it. Why are you making this so difficult and why have you f'd up an email platform that was already very good. You really mucked it up.

  7. Consistency

    If you are going to insist on making people use this new email GUI, could you at least make it consistent? I have two email addresses with Yahoo, and the GUIs are not consistent from one to the other. One has these "All, Primary,.." etc. headings and one does not. One let's you check boxes and delete, mark read, etc. across several emails and one does not. It's super frustrating that you make navigating the GUI such a pain **********. Yahoo's only saving grace is that Gmail is such an abomination. I know you are not going to do anything,…

  9. I hate change, when it complicates my life more. How do I forward a message with your new email system? I can't find my address book..

    Make it easier to forward a message. When I tried to forward a message, I was unable to get a list from my address book to forward it to. Did my address book disappear from this new version of your email?

  10. New version is totally disaster

    Please keep old version of yahoomail to continue. As new version is very very bad & not suitable the layout, design & all other things. As advertisement is taking so much place on window. So original email view we get is very very less.

  11. Flirting with the idea of . . .

    I'm contemplating the idea of deleting my account because of this unwanted or unwarranted changeover to some 'new version' of Yahoo Mail

    (from which it lacks crucial features that I rely upon when filtering out the spam folder)

    In addition to this "New & Improved" version of Yahoo Mail as being very inefficient at displaying relevant information in a way that is logical & easy to access. I think this "New Version" is lacking in relevant intelligent design.

    I've had this account since mid-2004.

  12. Incorrect display of unread emails

    Among my unread emails, it’s showing me a whole bunch of emails that I sent at some point—not just the few actual unread ones.

  13. COMPOSING an e-mail

    Composing and reading an email is now much less clear. If you add multiple recipients, they aren't visible unless you click on them—but then they hide again, which is also confusing. Attachments are too big and ugly.

  14. Organising inbox better

    1. Getting rid of senders icons - waste of space 2 getting rid of 'unsubscribe' label - it is on top of useful info 3 splitting arriving emails into 'today', 'yesterday', and years

  17. Don't make Primary the default view

    IN CAPITALS BECAUSE I'M SERIOUS. I DON'T WANT THE SO-CALLED "PRIMARY" AS THE DEFAULT VIEW IN MAIL. I AM HAVING TO CHANGE BACK TO "ALL" EVERY SINGLE TIME. I CAN'T FIND A SETTING TO SPECIFY THE DEFAULT VIEW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

  18. Setting that allows filters to operate on Spam folder

    Spam folder is full of basically the same 8 ads from spammers which makes it hard to check for valid emails since filters ignore the spam folder. Should be an option to allow filters to operate on the spam folder so when I block one Colonial Penn ad, any new ones also get blocked in the future.

  19. Restore the Ability to select ONE Folder, such as "Inbox" in Advance Search

    Restore the Ability to select ONE Folder, such as "Inbox" in Advance Search

    In the Old Yahoo Mail, one could edit the Email Search in "Advance Search" to limit the Search to a specific folder, such as "Inbox", or to any other User-folder. The Default Search is to search ALL Folders. One one keeps a "Sent" folder as a backup, then the Default Search would effectively a double-results Result, which would be way too much, and redundant.

    The New Yahoo Mail does NOT provide the ability in "Advance Search" to limit the scope of the Search to a specific folder.…

  20. Make message area larger or the font smaller or hide folders or somethingd

    Man the message is only a third of the page width! Folders one third and ads one third. Big Dumb ICONS And fonts are sooo LARGE. I get horizontal scrollbars. Little popups that say DELETE This is terrible!
