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
Unread Count - You can hover over "Inbox" to see the Unread count or you can expand the left hand column and Unread will be in the column below Inbox with the unread count. No hovering.



COMING SOON!
Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon! (Some of you are already seeing this new Setting, please let us know if you cannot)




**Please do NOT post about Account, Password, Login issues here. It will be deleted. Please go to help.yahoo.com.




Thank you! 💜

  1. Date Dividers

    Please give back the "date dividers" in the in-box. It helps to stay organized and sort through emails when I need to go back and find something that I have received.

  2. Put the tool bar with "read" "mark unread" "stared" and other back where it used to be on top of the in-box and not off to the side

    See subject for idea.

    Also, I love how you realize that this is so bad that when come to the help section, the first line is "you can't go back"

  3. Add back search line in the move folder dialogue

    When trying to move one folder inside another folder, in the move dialogue box you see a drop down of existing (destination) folders to choose from. The prior version of mail had the first line as a search where you could type the first or couple of characters of the destination folder name to quickly scroll there. The new version does not have it and forces you use the scroll bar to find the destination folder.

  4. Selecting e-mails by sender

    Hello, in the past version of Yahoo Mail, there was a "square little box" where I can choose/ click e-mails by sender, but with the new version, I can't do that anymore?

  5. Window too small. Enlarge it

    I hate the new look. When I click on an email it opens is a window that is way too small to capture the email. Enlarge the window or let me switch back to the older version

  8. Increase the font, easier differentiation between read/unread emails

    Font is too small for older eyes. Trying to get seniors to leave Yahoo mail? Need more differentiation between read/unread emails. The small blue dot is not enough.

  9. "UNREAD" while viewing "Inbox"

    Putting the "DOT" to the left to indicate UNREAD was a terrible idea.

    The older way of BOLDING unread emails was much better.

    Also, where "Unsubscribe" shows up when you're about to select an email to open, it blocks MOST of the email title and gives very little room to avoid the Unsubscribe and actually click on the title to open the email.

    Also, I GOT to this page FROM my email, and it asks me to SIGN IN before sending this. I am ALREADY SIGNED IN for goodness' sake.

  10. When you turn off Summery, it should turn off all summerys.

    Apparently AI is still still running in the background. Even though I have Summery tuned off, it still summarizes emails that have package tracking information. Create a way to remove the AI completely in Yahoo Mail, including the summarize button. I can summarize my own emails.

  11. Suggestion regarding the “Stay signed in” checkbox on the sign-in page

    Currently, the “Stay signed in” option is checked by default. While this is convenient for users accessing Yahoo Mail on their personal devices, it can be inconvenient and potentially risky for users accessing their accounts on public or shared computers, as they must remember to uncheck the option every time they sign in.

    Suggestion for improvement
    It would be better to leave the “Stay signed in” checkbox unchecked by default.

    Reason
    Users accessing Yahoo Mail on their personal devices would need to check the option only once, provided their preference is remembered for subsequent sign-ins. In contrast, users accessing Yahoo…

  12. RP Needs

    1. It would be best to give me the option to close the right hand column to have a larger preview panel. .
    2. I need to adjust the first column the Folder column to see more of the folder/sub folder names.

  13. I miss and need the unread emails to be marked with the Bright Red Dot.

    I miss and need the unread emails to be marked with the Bright Red Dot. Please allow us to choose when and what, we have changed to our "Personal" email accounts. It's ours, not yours. Stop being so pushy and insensitive with how our accounts look and work. If you think it's an improvement, give us a promotional presentation, and then, allow us to click on it to temporarily try it, and easily, revert back if we don't care for it. Many of us are older, and changing the look can make it harder to see, and use. We're already…

  14. Make Streaks and Gamification Features Optional - I Don't Want Them!

    Hello. I have been a Yahoo mail user for many years and have been happy with the performance and features offered in my mail box. However, I'm finding the recent gamification and streak features to be annoying, distracting, and unnecessary I would like to have the option to turn these off but in doing some research, it seems that these are mandatory, not optional. I am writing to request that you provide the option to turn these features off. Thank you, Ellen Carrington

  17. help the eye sort thru read and unread in the inbox

    There needs to be a difference between read and unread email line backgrounds in inbox list of emails. Even a slight difference would help direct the eye to what you are looking for.

  18. Suggestions for improving action button consistency and visibility in the new Yahoo Mail Interface

    In the new layout, the action buttons are arranged differently in the inbox view and when an individual email message is opened. In particular, options such as Read/Unread, Move, and Delete do not appear in a consistent order or location across these two views.

    Inbox view: When selecting an email, the toolbar displays actions such as Archive, Move, Delete, Mark as Read/Unread, and other options in a particular order.
    Individual email view: When opening an email, the toolbar displays actions such as Mark as Read/Unread, Starred, Move, Delete, and other options, making it less intuitive to locate familiar options.

    Suggestions:…

  19. Shade every other line in the email inbox

    I am not opposed to change. But there is something about this new system that makes it very hard to read through my list of emails. I've switched from light to dark mode and back. I've tried to put the block up to view my messages. Neither of those worked and there is nothing else to try. I think it's the way that they're spaced out down the list and all of the different symbols and boxes - the checkbox, the "mark as read" button, the symbol of the company/person who is emailing. All of those are so cluttering. And…

  20. Deleted Folders

    When the new email was implemented, ALL of my Folders were deleted on both of my accounts. I really need the info that I had placed in those folders. Can they be retrieved?
