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. STREAK - NO THANKS

    STOP offering me... streak... whatever that is. Besides it being annoying, it has NO meaning to or for me. It's just more useless BS that only complicates... and delays - whatever I'm doing - like going through my emails, reading & deleting... or putting into their respective categories. With regard to email - less is the best and more just makes you hate your email provider. FYI: I don't want to hate yahoo, so please don't fix what's not broken. Oh yeah, personally I'm never going to use the Yahoo Calendar, my iPhone handles that - and it stays the…

  3. expand view of subfolders from the sidebar

    Provide customization view of sidebar, same as previous version. The expanded view of subfolders from the sidebar is very helpful to know when an email has been received.

  4. Sorting mail

    The earlier design was better. It used to sort mails like: Today, Yesterday, This month, Last Month. That was awesome. You changed it. Didnt like the new design.
    Another thing, cant you give a skin which will fall in between dark and light? A skin with alternate light and semi-light rows will look attractive and it will be easy to sort out mails as well.

  10. Synchronizing Yahoo mobile app with desktop version.

    At one point, if I were to delete or move an email on my Yahoo app, it would synch with my desktop. For the last couple of years, after your previous upgrade, it stopped doing that. So even though I already filed an email to a folder on my Yahoo mobile app, when I log into Yahoo Mail using my desktop, I would have do everything all over again. It is as if the two no longer synch with each other and this wastes a lot of my (and other users I'm sure) time. Also what can I do if…

  11. The Mistakes Keep on Giving - search missing folder selection

    You guys messed up search. Again, wow....no quality control? when searching for emails, you can't select which folder you want to search in anymore. The older version you could. Why can't we anymore? I want to search for particular emails in my inbox so i don't have to go scrolling. But now search returns all emails in all folders that fit the search terms. Horrible.

    Why oh why must we endure this stupidity?!?!? I'm not a software engineer but can you hire me as one because apparently i would have better input during the design and testing phase. Ooops, sorry,…

  12. SPAM and BLOCK options GONE!

    Hello. I find it utterly stupid, that you removed the option to BLOCK all selected mails which arrive in the SPAM category. Now i can only delete those, but they can still send me spam **** if they choose. I have to manually add each mail from Spam and Block it individually. That option to Select all Spam Mail and simply BLOCK the senders, was absolute genius. Now it seems, you removed it. Why?

  13. Why option to block sender and delete all mails from this sender is removed from spam folder

    In old version there was option in spam mails to block all mails from the sender and delete all mails which is removed in latest version, please add this option as it is very useful to block spam mails.

  14. Need to Expand the Email View Width

    The menu on the right side that contains the contacts, calendar, starred, settings has lots of empty space in the bar. If the menu could be arranged vertically, instead of horizontally, then 2 improvements can happen: 1 is the view of the email list view can be expanded horizontally to show more content and 2 is that the view of all the icons in the menu can be visible. I would like to have the option to move the order of the right side menu items because I would like the calendar icon on the first (top) choice.

  15. Sort incoming mails datewise

    Please add sort incoming emails date-wise, as was done earlier. The advertisements are very annoying and take up valuable screen space. I would prefer a full view of my inbox, with the right-side menu being adjustable or collapsible to provide more space for viewing emails.

  16. Make it so the email is across more of the screen. (You cannot see the full screen!)

    Make it so you can see across the full screen. I don't need Starred Messages on the right side all the time. (This is not better than the old version guys!)

  17. Improve your UX and visual design

    The new visual design of Yahoo mail is AWFUL. Have a different color icon at the beginning of each email line causes so much visual clutter and makes it impossible to scan your list of emails to see what's going on. Adding a "category designation" like "primary" before each email in your inbox is yet another piece of visual clutter that keeps me from being able to quickly scan and understand my emails. Lastly - since the entire page is almost a single color - there is no clear visual hierarchy happening to help understand where I'm suppose to be…

  18. Who asked for any of this?

    Who asked for any of this to be changed? Its terrible. I cant see which emails are unread and which are read now. Nothing has been made better, its changed for the sake of change to justify peoples jobs all while making your users life harder.
