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. Enhance usability

    It's very hard to read emails in the UI. The email section only covers 1/3 of the screen space. There should be a way to resize the work space for emails. Particularly on the right side where Settings, Calendar and Contacts section should be able to be minimized.

  2. Inbox emails are too similar in color when some are Read and Unread, you can not tell the differnace between the too.. the font is too bold

    Inbox emails are too similar in color when some are Read and Unread, you can not tell the difference between the too.. the font is too bold, comparing the read vs unread emails.

  4. delete without using the check box

    I am not happy with the update that does not allow me to Delete emails without using the check box. I used to be able to click on one of them, and click delete on the screen and it would then move to the next email and i can delete again and do this repeatedly so i can delete many emails very quickly. right now it makes me click on the small box, that is about 10+ clicks if i want to delete 10+ emails in a row. That is not productive at all. Also the boxes are so small…

  5. inbox streaks is dumbest thing I've ever seen on the internet

    stop doing email streaks, stop contacting me with dumb stuff. If you have not dumb stuff that reasonable people would care about, happy to be notified. DONT want to be notified about dumb stuff. Quick internet search shows hundred + people think inbox streaks dumb, i could find ZERO posts of someone every defending or liking inbox streaks. Bad. Design. Stop. It.

  6. Several Suggestions

    Give back the Block Sender in Spam Folder options, so that future blocked sender spam messages go directly to trash, bypassing the spam folder.
    From address searches, add 'contains' options so that 'From' search results can find similar messages from the same email domain.
    Move right side tool bar out of the right side panel into the top panel by the search box.

  7. Turn off streaks

    I toggled to not receive notifications on these silly and unnecessary and irrelevant 'streaks' but I'm still getting them. Very weird thing you guys added. I'm on yahoo plus and submitted a message before - it's also very hard to find in settings. My advise when you add anything weird you might want to ensure you give your customers an easy way out.

  8. A larger display of email content

    I am fine with you updating the appearance of our email page, but the teeny weeny box that individual emails are displayed in, is ridiculous. One third of it is utilised with sender and receiver details and headers. There are only about 5 lines of text displayed at a time, which makes reading an email quite difficult, and if there are images embedded , it's even worse. Give us a larger display for email content display!!

  9. Basically change it back to old yahoo mail because this has improved nothing and made everything worse

    Literally everything about this change is horrible. Aside from being ugly as sin, the greatest sin is the grossly inefficient use of space - previous version gave me 15 e-mails on screen vs only 11 now. And the menu down the left, I literally cannot even see my folders anymore without scrolling while before I had EVERYTHING visible at once.

    And worst of all, I can no longer middle-click anything out into a new tab or get it with a right click or via any other method that I can see. You've straight up made the entire thing non-functional, brilliant…

  10. Gmail

    It seems that Yahoo wants me to use Gmail instead of Yahoo Mail. Strange, because I have used Yahoo Mail Plus for many years. I can't understand why you would discourage us loyal users from using the service by taking away the email interface we all know and love.
    Gmail, here I come.

  11. Reduce padding

    There is so much wasted screen space in the new UI. Either give the user more control about how the screen is laid out or reduce the padding between elements. So little of the actual email content is displayed on the screen.

  12. Get Rid of New Yahoo Mail

    It's hard to read, both in Light and Dark modes. Old Yahoo Mail was fine. Revert back.

  13. Better readability

    hi guys, appreciate the 'free' product and am obviously partial to the old UI.

    I get we're not going back to classic mode but can you create something that enhances readability/processing, call it an accessibility feature etc, because this larger/bloated font and ui is really grating, it's not something to just 'get used to'...it's a step backwards for visual engagement and productivity.

    I already switched to compact mode and lowered the zoom on my browser to 90% but it's still poor. I hope you consider adding simple visual enhancements that improve engagement with your product.

  15. Go back to the older one! This one is not user friendly! Have a tab to go back to the original one!

  16. Folder wheel sucks

    While I absolutely detest the new look, I absolutely miss having all my folders open on the side for filing away. The click-and-drag through the wheel of folders can easily lead to selecting the wrong folder by mistake.

  18. Dry run for buttons on e-mail

    I'm hesitant to click on buttons such as "Unsubscribe" or "Track Package" because I don't know what they would do (as well as because they are an annoyance, covering up text on the screen). It would be nice if there was a dry run option where I could see what would actually happen.

    I guess "Track Package" would open a link to a tracking page on USP or Fedex.com. But how do I know this? The bottom line of Chrome doesn't show the link like it does if I hover my mouse over a hyperlink within an e-mail.

    I should…

  19. E-mail lists not working

    E-mail lists can't be added to e-mail messages. I have to manually add each individual address into the address slot. Very inconvenient compared to the other more stable version.

  20. Block obvious spam

    Previous version allowed users to block and delete spam messages. It would be better if Yahoo! were able to delete obvious spam messages being sent from compromised email addresses, but if that can't be done the it would be good to restore the ability for the user to block these nuisance messages, and therefore to remove the limit on blocked senders.
