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. Display full email address of sender -- not just what the spoofers want us to see

    Yahoo hides the full address of the sender so it is much harder to see spoofed or fake emails. Yahoo supports spoofing by only displaying what the sender wants us to see. I have to go through multiple steps on every email to see who it is actually from.

    Why is Yahoo adding such support to spoofers and other criminal activity???

    The full sending email address has to be visible on the screen without going through any additional steps.

    You are doing a dis-service to your users and supporting crime.

  3. Sort by sender / select a year - to aid in deleting old emails

    I am a long-time Yahoo Mail user. I'd love to clear out emails with commercial intent that have long-been forgotten. It would be helpful to be able to sort by sender, so that vendor emails from 10 years ago can be easily found rather than stick around in the middle of my inbox - inaccessible, because I can no longer remember I used to receive emails from them. Please consider this basic feature. I have been trying to manage my inbox, but some of the emails are completely inaccessible with the tools you've provided. Ability to access particular years could…

  5. Leave well enough alone.

    I gave the new layout two days, and I don't like it AT ALL!! Give us the option to choose the old layout. The new one is unpleasant and not working for me.

    The folder column is too narrow. I want the option to make it as wide as I want it with a click-and-drag.

  6. Major Improvement

    The New Yahoo Mail can be vastly improved by going back to the old one. The new one is harder to discern the difference between each email listed, it is harder to find options, and it just simply looks unappealing.

  7. do not roll out a new product untill bugs have been worked out!! This is not senior friendly

    I would like my old email back and I cannot be the only one who does not like this new system! Cannot believe you would roll out something with bugs still in it and it is not senior friendly!

  9. The new interface is terrible

    I love the old interface. It was smooth, purple, had easy navigation icons such as being able to select a subcategory of emails (read, unread, etc) without having to select one email first. The arrow button to bring you back to the top of your inbox was also very useful. I also don't llke how my inbox goes straight to my primary inbox now, I would like to see all my emails first. Why can't I select which inbox shows up first? It is very frustrating and I am thinking of switching to a different email site because of the…

  11. Improve the "tabs" at the top so they don't hide things

    The "tabs" at the top seem to obscure things more than they help. idk if maybe it's just not showing all of them or what. I close one and find it still at the top, so maybe there was another open with the same name. It needs to show all of them or make something very obvious that there are more open that don't show. ugh. It would help a lot if that right side column wasn't wasting so much space on the screen that could be used more effectively in the middle column. hating this new layout!

  12. toooooooo much

    I just want to read my mail. I don't want fancy bubbles that duplicate the sender info, I don't want huge space between the sender and the body of the email, I don't want the distracting icons and colors. Make it what you want but give the users the option to turn off the **** they don't want to be bothered with. Forcing me to use this format is making me want to change to gmail permanently.

  15. An ENTIRELY new design

    I tried 'new' yahoo mail a while ago & found it rubbish - specifically it is hard to distinguish at a glance between read and unread emails or whether is was delivered today or yesterday or recently. The info is there, but it is not as clear as before. So I switched back to old-style yahoo mail. Now I've been put on the new style again, but it is still rubbish even though you've had months to adjust it. If it were not my main email account I would be looking for an alternative now. Please dump this rotten design…

  16. Stop putting the ads in the middle of emails so when you selete one the ad get clicked and opens

    Stop putting the ads in the middle of emails so when you delete an email the ad inadvertently gets clicked and opens

    You can no longer start at the top you really need to start at the bottom

    IT WASTES HOURS OF TIME AVOIDING THE AD and most of them are scams my computer has been locked down from just clicking on an ad that said I had 2 emails

    I thought it was part of your new features, and it would of cost me hundreds of dollars, but I realized it was a scam and called my friend and…

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
