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.

*Those asking about going back to the old version. Unfortunately, if you do not see the "Go Back" button you cannot go back. We really hope you'll try the new experience! Thanks!



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. Take it back to the old version

    I'm sorry, but the new email format is not user-friendly. Its layout is congested, and selecting the option to delete certain emails is not a smooth selection. Items that used to be easy to locate now require a concentrated search. Sometimes change is good, but in this case...No. It's such a pain that I am seriously considering using my Gmail account for my main email. Very frustrating!

  2. contact UI is just awful

    Finding and Editing the contacts is just horrid, on desktop AND on Android.
    Desktop - The contact icon is miniscule, then trying to edit the contact - it's just not user friendly at all. It would be more useful to put the tab on the left side with the rest of the options or somewhere more prominent. Also, there's no option to select more than one contact for deletion. I have to manually check each contact to delete it.
    Android - this UI is unusable. Trying to edit a contact is impossible. Just trying to type over to edit -…

  4. Your AI Chat said leaving feedback might help get my email back to basic because I have an old laptop 2009 and it doesn’t support this new

    Yahoo switched my email to the new version 1 week ago. I can’t see the message due to not room on my laptop and I can’t make the screen font small enough to get the whole line. Please let me switch back to basic mail. I am having such a hard time with this version of mail. I have so many things linked to this email address which I have had for a long time and I don’t know if I can change to another email. That would be so much work to someone like me to do. Please help.…

  5. Search in Specific Folders and Keyword

    The new advanced search is missing the ability to refine the search by searching only in specific folders (especially limiting it to by just in the inbox, as I do not want to find those emails I've already filed) and by using keyword - unless I type the keyword first, then it seems to use that? But I can't edit that once I've opened the advanced search.

    I use those extensively - especially as I've been trying to clean up my inbox.

    thank you.

  6. Please return me to my old Yahoo Mail setup

    I absolutely HATE this new Yahoo Mail setup! I don't like that ONLY priority emails show up instead of ALL of my emails! I don't like the color of the setup. The whole arrangement is NOT better or enjoyable! PLEASE, I'm begging you, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE return me to my old Yahoo Mail setup or give me the option to do so! PLEASE!

  7. Make "All" the default inbox function

    I missed an important email which could have cost a lot of money. Fortunately I saw it on my phone but it was not showing up on my PC's inbox. I realised that my inbox had "primary" selected as default and this email along with many others were not showing in the inbox. Once I realised what the problem was I changed the default to "all" and my issue was resolved. However I had not set it to primary in the first place and so it must have been set when Yahoo upgraded. You really should change this so that…

  8. Add a one-click option to mark messages read/unread within the message list

    This is probably the old Yahoo mail feature I miss most.
    My settings keep all messages marked as unread until I manually mark them read.
    In the old Yahoo mail I could toggle the read status with a single left click within the message list, without opening the message.
    In the new Yahoo mail you must right-click and then select read/unread.

    Please consider restoring the one-click functionality we used to enjoy.
    In the message list:
    A left click on the unread dot should change status to read, and change the solid dot to a hollow dot, instead of making the…

  9. 25 emails per page as before

    Group the emails into batches of 25 per page, just like in the old email version and you can keep the current layout if you insist. Navigating emails in this format is very difficult. You drag the scrollbar down, but the next emails don't load; then, after a while, it loads everything you triggered and jumps too far ahead, skipping emails, so you have to go back to see where you left off. There is no continuity. It has been like this for years, ever since you started trying to force users onto the new email format. No one uses…

  10. Stop the delete icon from shifting location.

    The icons at the top of the reading pane do not maintain a consistent position. For instance, when viewing a received email that has multiple recipients, the icons from left to right are:
    Reply, Reply all, Forward, Mark read/unread, Star, Move, Delete, Mark as spam, More.
    The order is the same when viewing a message with a single recipient, except Reply all is missing.
    I guess that makes sense but a problem arises when deleting multiple emails:

    I want to delete an email with multiple recipients, so I hover over the delete icon and click.
    The next email pops up.…

  12. Offer options to go back to classic Yahoo mail format

    The new Yahoo mail format is lacking functions, options and aesthetics. The classic format is 1000% better. BRING IT BACK!!!!!!

  13. can we have an "Instant Block Option", Shown, on all "Inbox Notifications "? that we instantly do not wish to Receive ?

    I believe this would be a Quicker Way to get Rid of Pernicious & Regular Unwanted Senders that are Recognised by Me as a Recipient !! Rather than just to delete or show as Spam !! but that Keep Recuring !!

  17. Remove passkey creation option at login

    Remove passkey creation option at login through settings, it's requring too many steps to log-in and passkey option is incredibly slow to be useful. Also, new Yahoo Mail is cluttered and not practically usable forcing users to use third party email clients instead of the web version and mobile version. This is example of tone deaf implemenation of changes.

  20. Why do we have to change

    Look I am not sure why we are forced to change to this email but it sucks. There is a reason many of us stayed with classic mail. Now my mail is automatically sorted into priority as if you know..... All etc. You are causing me to miss many emails like this. You have probably just pushed me to completely swap to gmail.
