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. 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.

  2. 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…

  7. 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.

  8. Stop with the moronic interface redesigns

    Stupid format update. I have to click the right arrow to get rid of the stupid "star" box, the click "all" to switch from the default "primary". Who gets paid to come up with these idiotic redesigns?

  9. It is a bug fix rather than idea - RE emailing lists

    The function to email a contact list no longer works. The button is there but does nothing, whether this is sending "To", "CC", or "BCC". I will have to write all the individual email addresses out each time. For a large emailing list this is very time consuming... hence the email list function!

    ETA: I have just discovered that you can type in the name of the emailing list directly into the sending field and this fills all the emails in. But the button to "Email list" still needs to be fixed or else removed with directions to type the…

  10. Virtually Unusable

    Please just change the email back to the way it was. It was perfectly fine! Each "update" has made it harder to use. We can no longer find what we need, the format is hideous, the "day vs. night" modes don't help at all. The AI summaries are usually wrong- do you hate your users this much? We are starting to search for new email domains to use since this is so ****** now. I can't put into words the revulsion this new site fills me with. JUST CHANGE IT BACK FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

  11. Get rid of the sidebar with starred items.

    That sidebar makes it impossible to read my mail messages, and I hate having to take an extra step to hide it every time I open the mail. I wish you had not made this "improvement" because it is absolutely an annoyance and if you can't fix it, I may have to switch to another email provider -loyal as I have been these many years.

  14. Make it more user friendly and readable

    Yahoo mail on the web is becoming impossible to use. Ads section is taking up 1/3 space of the screen and makes rest of the sections very small. Most likely, I will be switching over to some other domain.

    The top header, side headers are unnecessarily so thick and wasting important real estate.
    Please remember that ads are possible because of the users and if users are going away then ads will go away as well.

  16. Get rid of AI.

    I thought of other things after I sent previous email. I noticed we have lost where we can move emails to save and also where is the archive symbol. I like to sometimes move emails and delete them later. I also archive emails can't find how to do that either. Like I said most people like simple things not have to search around. I have old emails and I did find those but so far I haven't been able to find where I can send new ones to the folder(s) that I already have emails saved. As you can tell…

  17. Problems with searching

    I really hate the new "Yahoo! It is NOT user friendly at all. For example, if you want to search only one folder- like your InBox - you can't do that any more. I have many folders and don't want to search all of them. I want to search just the folder i need. To search them all is a total waste of my time.
    If this feature is still there, where the **** did you hide it???This new format totally SUCKS!

    There are many other changes you made that are not user friendly!!! You really got way too carried…

  19. Make the preview pane useful like it used to be

    In the preview pane, the "heading" for the email (where the sender's name is along with the giant "Visit Site" and "Summarize" buttons are) is so big now that it leaves hardly any space for the actual PREVIEW. It's stupid small. I have used Yahoo Mail for over 20 years and this new look is anything but an upgrade or improvement! Might finally be time to move on.
