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. email preview

    the email preview box is so small i am unable to even read messages without significant effort. the list of emails is wider than the preview box and there is an add box on the right side just as big as the email preview. if this does not change i will no longer be using yahoo.

  2. Move email move/menu options back to top of email screen for all emails, not just when selecting individual emails.

    Move email move/menu options back to top of email screen for all emails, not just when selecting individual emails. All tools/options should be in the same place consistently, as users should not have to "hunt" for them to be able to use the common tools.

  3. Fix

    The click options (delete, move, mark as spam, etc) all disappear after each message is deleted. This unless I'm selecting all of them at once, which is a slippery slope because the tick box is very small and I cannot say how many times I've accidentally deselected 80 emails by missing it, I have to jiggle the mouse to wake up the options again. Again, frustrating we had to go over to a new UI when the old one was actually quite good, even with the distracting ads.

  4. Package deliveries

    The new Yahoo email version does NOT include the notice that an Amazon item is on its way. PLEASE go back to the previous Yahoo email version. This latest Yahoo email version has absolutely NO improvements to it, and is far inferior to the previous version.

  5. Need the mailbox name/dropdowns at TOP, up by compose/Inbox button

    I use a desktop computer and not like what you have done.

    I have many mailboxes attached and it's a HASSLE to keep going to the bottom of the to open the mailbox I want.
    Ridiculous to have to go past sent, drafts, trash, spam, folders to get to the name of mailbox I want... put button for mailboxes at top of column please.
    I am not a happy customer being forced with this new layout Change.

    The lines in the inbox need to be more compact also. Your compact isn't very compact.
    I don't like being FORCED TO AGREE…

  7. having the option of selecting "From"

    I would like an option to select From in the inbox, I have a lot of emails that I have to continuously scroll though. if there was an option of selecting From, then I could see all the emails from that sender. that would be greatly helpful.

  8. Remove the hover to expand in folders

    Remove or give the option to turn off the hover to expand folders option in folders. I have certain folders I need to stay collapsed until I purposefully expand them. These sub folders are not something I use or need to see 99% of the time. Please either turn this feature off or give me the option to turn it off.

  9. Fix the desk top version.

    I have to log in every time even though the keep logged in box is checked. Make the reading window bigger. This new version has taken something simple and made it too hard for seniors. Every one is not a tech expert.

  10. turn off streaks

    Can we please have an option to turn off email "streaks?" I don't need you telling me that I've achieved a lot today. Do you think this is a fitness app or a video game, and I need encouragement? Why am I unlocking achievements just by reading my daily email? So tone deaf and a waste of space.

  11. The side panel

    The side panel that shows starred messages needs to stay collapsed. I use starred messages in my folders for important information that I don't want anyone wandering into my work area to see. When I have collapsed the panel it needs to STAY COLLAPSED, not just collapsed for this session.

  12. LET US MAKE BETTER USE OF THE EMPTY UNUSED SPACE TO THE RIGHT

    THE FAR RIGHT SIDE OF THE EMAIL IS BLANK AND TOTAL WASTED SPACE. WHATEVER YOU THINK WILL IT WILL BE USED FOR, IT ABSOLUTELY STUPID TO KEEP IT BLANK WHEN WE COULD EXPAND ALL THE WAY OVER TO SEE MORE. PLUS YOU DONT EVEN HAVE FROM: SUBJECT: DATE/TIME AT THE TOP OF THE LISTS. IT LOOKS SO DUMB. A REFLECTION ON WHO EVER DECIDED TO DO THIS CHANGE.

  13. Even your help is annoying.

    You've made switching between accounts a real hassle, (not what I really wanted to say about it) I don't know why you think what you've done to mail was a good idea, but it's definitely NOT an upgrade, just less functional, and more annoying.

  15. Starred is a pain in my butt right now

    I would like the Option of contact calendar OR starred upfront on my mail page where EVERYONE can see. I need to reorganize my mailbox with no warning so I can keep things handy but not in public view.

  18. The ability to see the block sender's domains (like in the old Yahoo Mail)

    It feels like a piece of functionality has disappeared that I think was very helpful.
    In the old Yahoo Mail+ (from last week), I had the ability to, once I was in the SPAM folder, select all and see the domains of all of the senders. Then I could identify which senders I wanted to put into the block-domain list.
    Now, with the new Yahoo Mail update, that is gone.
    It was really useful and I would like to urge you to bring it back.

  19. Copy & Paste

    I use excel spreadsheets to send my work schedule to my staff. When I copy and paste the schedule into the body of the email, it has many blank boxes. This didn't happen in the previous, and MUCH BETTER, version. Can you fix this issue?
