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! 💜

  2. This is a lousy layout and nothing is easy to identify. There is no clear separation of emails. I'm thinking about using my husband's gmail

    I want my email titles to pop out and I don't give a **** about the ads . I want a separation and, if I don't want something I delete it. This really is one of your stupidest "improvements"

  3. Size of columns and messages

    Terrible look compared to original. Looks like a cartoon. Old style was easy to read and crisp layout. Sad that this was the best you could come up with. Change is ok when it makes sense or actually improves the product. This change failed miserably.

  4. Better distinction between read and unread emails in dark mode.

    Could you please make unread messages in a folder stand out more from read messages ? On dark mode it is very hard to tell the difference.

  7. Restore the feature to "Block" spam emails

    Before you introduced the latest email changes you could select an email in Spam and select "Block" to delete the email and block future emails from that sender. You have removed the "Block" feature so please can it be restored as it should cut down on the amount of Spam generated from the same email address.

  8. Graphical & advertisemental

    The advertisement section can't be contracted and it is consuming unnecessary space. The entire outlook is so frustrating. This is the worst graphical outlook till date. The colors also can't be changed as it could be earlier.

  9. Block Address in Spam

    There used to be an option in the Spam folder, where under the three dots on the right, there was an option to Block Email Address. This was very helpful and I used it. Now this has disappeared and you have to go to More, then Security, then laboriously add each email address and save it. Please bring back the easier 'block address' option to automate this. Also, I'm worried by the limit of 1000 addresses, I'm already on 860. Thanks.

  10. Pleas for desktop color themes to return

    The help chat bot suggested the following. I use Yahoo on desktop only. I REALLY want the color themes back :(

    Me: i want color themes, please bring them back

    Agent said
    I hear you. Color themes are currently available in the Yahoo Mail app on supported devices and app versions:

    Open the Yahoo Mail app.

    Tap your Profile icon.

    Tap Settings, then Themes.

    Choose a colored theme and tap Save.

    In Yahoo Mail on a desktop browser, the current Appearance choices are Light, Dark, or Automatic, rather than the older color-theme options.

    To request that desktop color themes return,…

  12. Navigate within an email using arrow keys on a PC keyboard

    It's simple: once you click somewhere in the body of a received email, use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the email. Having to continually move the bar to scroll is really inconvenient.

  14. The old yahoo allowed sorting alphabetically, which was the best feature.

    Bring back sorting alphabetically. It should have been a no brainer to include it with the update.

  15. Appearance complaint!!

    Options you gave me here wasn't what I was looking for! So I picked Notes. Pfft. I was looking for appearance.
    Anyways, I hated the pill buttons. I put up with it for awhile and wow, I never liked it. I like square design much better. Why change that? Why not give us option what we like, like how we do with picking colors or font sizes, etc.?

    Why since you've altered yahoo mail can i only block senders in my emails but i can't block them in spam, surely it should be the other way round like it was before.

  18. "Block Sender & Delete" should be a part of Spam Processing as it was in Old Email

    "Block Sender & Delete" should be a part of Spam Processing as it was in Old Email

    I see today (10/31/26) that "Block Sender and Delete" has been added to Inbox processing options, but it should also be added to Spam Processing, as it was in the Old Email.

    I think the Natural Processing flow for Unwanted Emails, aside from "Unsubscribe after Opening", is to 1st mark the Unwanted email as Spam. From Spam, one could then decide to also Block as well as Delete. That's what the flow was in the Old Email System.

    Today I got an Unwanted…

  20. Restore column width options

    In the New Yahoo the email list column width is too restricted when in the die by side preview window. This leaves the preview window larger than it needs to be and the email list column too narrow to read full subject lines or topics. In the classic yahoo. the column width could be made wider than in new yahoo. This, coupled with the inability to shrink the folder column or the column that has nothing on the right side of screen makes for an inferior experience
