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. email button options compressed

    Need to move the buttons (star, delete, move, and mark as unread) closer to the email subject line. There is SO MUCH blank space between email subject and buttons/time received.

  2. column widths

    Need the ability to widen the header sections. For example, I want the Sender to be wider so I can see the full name and to make the email subject line to be less wide.

  3. See More Mail - Reduce the Line Height and Silly Graphical Icons

    The old email interface allowed me to see many more entries in my Inbox. That made it easier for me to select the emails I didn't want to read and delete them far more efficiently. The new interface is incredibly space inefficient and harder to read. It sucks. Reminds me of an old saying: "Change is inevitable, progress is not."

  5. Cleaner formatting

    I don't want big bubbly shapes. I don't want my tabs shoved at the top of the screen. The new version feels bloated and unpleasant. I have stuck with the old Yahoo Mail format for years for a reason.

  6. The new Yahoo email I have been forced into is not what I want at all

    Not only do I resent the patronizing note about change being good, Yahoo has continually changed what isn't broken, ruined the customizable home page, removed the ability to block Spam senders in the new email and now I also get these annoying pop ups with silly animations and no way to block them as far as I can tell. I have stayed with Yahoo for over 20 years, and recently only because I didn't want to have to change my default email with vendors, but Yahoo has shown little regard for what users actually want. I imagine I'll be leaving…

  8. Restore "Sender" Option

    I can no longer group by sender. This is terrible. Please restore it so I can categorize my emails by person and subject matter.

  10. Put the cursor in the "To" field when forwarding an eamil

    When you forward an email, the cursor used to be placed in the To field by default.

    Now it's placed in the body, leaving the To field empty.

    Stop that!

  11. Making read and unread mail more visually different

    After the update, it is now more difficult to easily see which emails have been read and which ones have not. I have to look so closely. I'm using dark mode. The previous version did not have this issue. It is now difficult and uncomfortable to use this email. I imagine anyone with even mild vision issues will now feel discriminated against as a result of this change. So please fix it.

    Please get rid of the reply/forward box under the email window. It takes away email space and is super annoying.

  14. Allow filters that leave emails in the Inbox

    I want to have a filter rule that sends most emails I receive to a folder but there are exceptions.

    The simplest solution seems to be another filter of higher priority that "moves" the email to the Inbox but that is not a folder that can be selected.

  15. Simplify, Get rid of the icons on the left of each mail item. They're distracting.

    It's horrible. Horrible to read. Lose those icons on each piece of mail. Simplify the font. Make it less smushed.

  16. Bring toolbar back

    With the new interface, I can't quickly delete texts. Now I have to click an email, then click delete, then go back and click another email, then delete, etc. This new interace is clunky and not user friendly. I have never wanted to use gmail or any other email platform, but these changes have made Yahoo so much less desirable.

  17. Improve the new Yahoo mail UX

    I have been a loyal Yahoo Mail user for over 27 years, and I am extremely disappointed with the new design. The new layout is much more difficult to navigate and less user-friendly than the previous version.

    The Inbox and the email reading pane are far too small, largely because so much screen space is wasted by excessive spacing at the top. As a result, the actual reading area is unnecessarily restricted, making it difficult to read emails comfortably and efficiently.

    The primary purpose of an email service is to make reading, managing, and responding to emails easy. The new…

  18. Return the Tab functionality.

    Every time I hit the tab for proper punctuation it changes fields and messes up my email. Tab is a function necessary to write emails and the "new and ********* Yahoo" uses it to change tabs on the email so every time I hit it , it changes to the "send" button. Some times I accidently hit the wrong button and it sends the partial email. Did I mention how much I HATE, no how much I VICERALLY HATE the new yahoo?

  20. Changes to mail format appearance

    I’ve used Yahoo Mail since 1998, and the recent forced interface changes have made the service harder and more frustrating to use. I preferred the previous layout because it was familiar, efficient, and allowed me to manage multiple Yahoo accounts easily in one place.
    The new format feels unnecessarily complicated. Even adding my other Yahoo accounts now involves too many steps and pop-up windows. Long-time users should be considered and consulted before major changes are made. Please provide a simpler, familiar layout option and make multi-account access easier again
