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. I like being able to "star" messages in the email list

    I like to be able to "star" messages in the email list. With the new redesign, you can only "star" a message when inside an email. Please change it so that we can "star" messages in the email list.

  3. when you have an email open and reload the tab, it should reopen the email and not simply go back to the inbox

    I had two emails open in different tabs. Both were things I needed to look at later. When I restarted my computer and reloaded the tabs, they didn't return to the emails I had open. Instead, it just went to my regular inbox. It is such a waste of time needing to dig through my emails, trying to find what I already had open.

  4. The password system used by Yahoo is terrible

    The sign-in to yahoo has gotten so complicated in requesting multiple devices, coupled with the fact that every time it requests a sign password it rejects the password entered requiring me to request a new password I am now telling everyone know to NOT USE YAHOO for e-mail.

  5. Give the user an option to turn off "Summarized by Yahoo Scout".

    Turning off AI features in settings does not turn off "Summarized by Yahoo Scout".
    Please fix this or add a setting to turn off Yahoo Scout Summaries separately.
    Thanx.

  9. πιο φιλική η παλαιότερη έκδοση yahoo

    Η προηγούμενη έκδοση του yahoo ήταν περισσότερο προσβάσιμη και φιλική στο χρήστη. Ειδικά η εφαρμογή για κινητά android έχει γίνει δύσκολη. Δεν είναι εφικτό να ανατρέξουμε άμεσα στους φακέλους και υποφακέλους, γιατί καταργήθηκε το κουμπί κατω αριστερά με το φάκελο και άμεσα έβλεπα όποιον φάκελο ήθελα. Τώρα πρέπει να σύρω κουρτίνα ή να πατήσω πάνω αριστερά τις 3 γραμμές και ξανά μετά το περισσότερα...

  11. Remove the colored circles with a letter in front of the mail, add optional colors and themes, give more design flexibility to the users, et

    This new Yahoo Mail shows empty folders with childish, stupid, and irrelevant drawings, e.g., a man fishing from a hole or a dog taking a paper out of a typewriter. The colored circles in front of the mail are also irrelevant and disturbing. A simple, clean design without unnecessary "design features" (I would call them garbage) would be much appreciated. Give also the option of compressing the lines in the inbox folder; the current design is too "spacious", taking unnecessary space. And most of all, give the option of reverting to the old Mail to those who wish to do…

  12. Delete unwanted folders

    Why cant I delete a folder I no longer use? I don't need folders that say drafts, scheduled and archive so why cant I do something else with them? They take up too much space at the top.

  13. Suggestion for search function in browser based new email

    In the new email, the search function lacks the ability to search within a specific folder. For those of us who routinely sort our emails into a myriad of folders (both manually and by filters) and basically use the folders as a filing cabinet for old information, this is a lacking. Hope you will return this ability, which the old email had. Thank you.

  17. Darker text message outline box.

    Used To Yahoo had a well-defined tezt box for message entry. I guess You hired some ARTISTIC person. I just wasted five minutes finding the entry to the **** text box. Just malke the outline darker and I can get it from there. I like stuff that works, not at all Artistic. I still want my domain/user blocker for emails. And make it optional to not take email not in the address book. That's MY EMAIL, not some ******** advertisers. I don't take unknown phone calls, either.

  18. screen jumps with every click of the mouse...

    It's taking more time to read my emails then before the 'updated' version. Flagging or 'star'-ing an email takes more time now because you have to select to do it as a drop down. Put it next to the Trash can.

    Also, my screen jumps every time I go to another email. Not good! Can you do something about that too!

  20. BROKEN: Disable AI Summaries - Go to Settings > AI features > Toggle Off

    I have this annoying useless feature TURNED OFF yet you still insist on providing me with summaries that are completely useless - like an AI summary of a shipping notification from UPS. Seriously?? You're going to summarize this - then tell me it might be wrong??? LMAO!!! C'mon, man! It's terrible! The feature is bad, so you know this because some people hate it so you make an option to turn it off BUT TURNING IT OFF DOESN'T WORK!!! Stunning work, guys. SMH
