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. Show a simple inbox - get rid of the childish features

    Go back to classic. We just want to check our email, not engage in social media silly features. At work I get over 50 emails every day, so coming to see that "level 60/100 wow" seems childish. Most of the people using Yahoo are Gen X, maybe millennials, so please don't treat us like Gen Alpha. Thank you.

  2. Inbox

    the inbox has become very congested. The profile icons between the check box and senders name is such a distraction. Can you please bring back the ability to remove those.

    Also I noticed that while looking through the inbox, we used to just highlight the email and click delete. and just keep deleting all the way down if everything in the inbox needs to be deleted. There is no longer a way to do that. The delete icon disappears unless we check the box. can you bring that back?

  3. get rid of the "game popups". Ridiculous.

    What the F just happened to my email?! It is not a cutesy pop up pictures and explosions of confetti, and I want to vomit.
    Fire who created this, and is forcing it on adults who need a responsible page.
    This whole thing is ugly, and I want the old theme and mail look back.

  5. Attachment view

    This isn't an "idea", it's a complaint. I can't access an attachment. I used to hover & click preview. I tried clicking both preview and download and neither appeared. I checked my "download" folder and it's not there either. How do I view an attachment!!??

  9. Issue with your server

    Some of my email are not showing in my inbox https://mail.yahoo.com/. These emails were not deleted, spammed or archived. The emails existed in my inbox. For example 9 December 2024 emails. This is not browser related issue. It is clearly your server issue. I tested with Edge, Chrome, Incognito and the issue remains.
    whether I use the search or scroll to the entire inbox to locate the emails around December 2024, I don't see some of the emails.

  11. Put the STAR symbol back on the left side of the email list

    Put the STAR symbol back on the left side of the email in the email list. It is a pain in the trackball to have to slide the cursor over to the right side to activate the STAR.

  12. Stop the pop-up Yahoo woohoo type messages.

    I'm getting closer and closer to giving up on Yahoo Mail with these latest changes. This is my 3rd piece of feedback. It would be nice if I heard back.

  13. Remove the challenges and badges

    Nobody needs email to be "gamified". After having this email for decades now, I'm probably going to move to another platform for my primary email. I need a simpler email. I don't more pop-ups to click through to do my business.

  14. Separate emails by date

    Please bring back the old categorization of mails by date (e.g. last week, October, etc.) It was very useful and with the new UI it's very hard to tell how recent mails are without looking at individual dates. It's also very hard to tell which mail was read vs unread because the difference in font is very subtle.

  15. Please re-instate the one-click BLOCK feature like there is a one-click spam feature.

    It is very tedious to have to hover over but can't copy and paste the address of an unwanted spammer - and it prolongs having to look at the **** lewd message line from these evil people. DEAR PRODUCT TEAM: PLEASE RE-INSTATE THE ONE-CLiCK BLOCK OPTION like Yahoo mail used to have where you could block up to 1000 addresses. Now that you've removed it it is very tedious and time consuming and a detriment to overall workflow not to have this option available, but to have to hover over the sender name, not able to copy and paste, but…

  20. restore a click for blocking emails

    Blocking SPAM emails used to be much easier; a simple click to add an email address to the BLOCK list; Now, the email address has to be manually typed into the BLOCK list; and emails that show up in SPAM have ridiculously long email addresses. Restore the simple click to BLOCK emails.
