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. Stop moving buttons

    As I go through my emails and ultimately deleting many, the buttons along the top of the preview pane keeps changing locations due to some having the "Reply All" button and some not having it. Please keep buttons in consistent locations.

  2. Make the usable area of the viewing pane bigger by eliminating toolbar and unfreezing headers

    1) Right now, when viewing a message in the bottom of the viewing pane, the toolbar is at the top of the message. That takes up precious space -- about 1/4 of the viewing pane -- and should be removed to the top of the inbox where it used to be.
    2) The header (i.e., the subject and the sender) of the email in the viewing pane freezes and does not scroll with the rest of the message; it takes up about 1/4 of the viewing pane.
    These two gross errors in judgment mean that the part of the viewing…

  3. New Yahoo Mail desktop interface – A significant step backward in usability and visual design

    I would like to express my disappointment with the new Yahoo Mail desktop interface. Compared to the previous version, several changes have made the experience less pleasant, less intuitive, and, in some cases, more frustrating.

    1. Flat and poorly differentiated light and dark themes

    The new themes are visually monotonous. The light theme is excessively pale, while the dark theme is almost entirely black. Both lack the visual contrast and differentiation that made the previous interface more comfortable to use.

    1. Loss of customization and color in the header

    The previous interface allowed users to personalize the header area, including the search…

  4. Segregation by date

    The old yahoo mail used to group or divide by the date when the email was received. There's no option to even enable it now. Please bring that back

  5. interfaccia nuova web yahoo mail

    La nuova interfaccia si presenta "piatta"...non c'è un elemento di contrasto sui colori, tutto bianco (o tutto troppo nero con il tema scuro). Non è intuitivo il simbolo della cartella per indicare l'azione di "spostamento", la freccia era molto meglio. Come si passa il mouse sopra la riga di una mail compare "annulla iscrizione" ovunque e il clic per semplicemente aprire in lettura la mail alle volte innesta invece l'annulla iscrizione. Non ci sono temi di sfondo personalizzabili o quanto meno che si possano scegliere. Per me pessima la nuova interfaccia

  7. Improve Search Function (Return To What Was Before What Is Now

    Add specific locations to the search feature instead of the entire mailbox. For example, allow search of the inbox only. This was an option before Mail+ was destroyed with the current update. I don't need or want to search all sub-folders but instead want to control where and what I am able to search.

  8. Προβολή - Επαναφορά ομαδοποίησης email κατά ημέρα - μήνα ετος

    Στην προβολή των email, σταμάτησε η ομαδοποίηση των email κατά ημέρα - μήνα ετος. Ήταν εξαιρετικά χρήσιμο. Να επαναφερθεί.

  9. The reading space for emails is only 3 lines!!!

    Can we please have more room to read the actual email - the view I get currently only allows me to see 3 lines or about a quarter of an image - that is soooo hard to make sense of!

  10. use the screen better

    There is far too much white space which takes away from the ability to cleanly read emails. Why cant I compress the panel on the RH side?
    You should consider feedback carefully - the new look is slow to load, hangs very badly on mobile devices and at times is unusable

  11. Επισήμανση επιλεγμένων email (να ενεργοποιηθεί)

    Όταν κάνεις πολλαπλή επιλογή email, τα επιλεγμένα email δεν επισημαίνονται με διαφορετική απόχρωση, όπως γινόταν στο παλιό Yahoo email (επισημαίνεται με διαφορετική απόχρωση μόνο το τελευταίο επιλεγμένο email), με αποτέλεσμα να μην διακρίνονται εύκολα τα επιλεγμένα email. Πρέπει να διορθωθεί.

  14. Basic Mail

    Provide more settings so user can make mail appear like the basic version (i.e., get rid of distracting colored initials/icons before senders names in the inbox, allow adjustment of spacing between e-mails in inbox, allow adjustment of background colors, etc.).

    The new forced appearance is not as clean looking as the basic mail and therefore slows down navigation.

  17. Photos - Yahoo going backwards when it should be going forward

    Why did you mess up the ability to see all your photos in your inbox it was one of the best features I do not understand why this was pruned. PLease take another look at it and reinstate or let me go back to the old version. Why make it harder to look at all your photos now from your emails it was so quick and easy
    I wonder if this will even make a human? It is just common sense

  18. Have an option to make the "send from" drop-down visible by default on every reply message

    One of the reasons I continue to pay for Yahoo Mail Plus when there are so many free options available for email is the fact that YMP allows the use of multiple email aliases and filters, and I use them frequently. After the change to the new Yahoo Mail format, however, it is harder to send or reply to emails using these alternate email addresses because when I reply to a message that comes through an email re-router (like Craigslist), my reply automatically starts composing the reply from my MAIN EMAIL ADDRESS instead of the alternate address that was actually…

  19. Bold subject lines

    Currently the subject line and message preview are visually indistinguishable except for a tiny bullet separating the two, making the inbox a homogeneous mess to read. The subject line needs to be bolded so you can actually tell what it is.

  20. Login screen clutter

    When logging in you pick which account to use by clicking on the tile. Only, when you hover over the tile with the email address you want on it, first the delete tile button is too big. Why does it have a central location? It's in the way. Then, if you accidentally hover over your email address you get a black popup with your email address written on it again! And you can't click while it's there! What is the point of this?

    Instead, the delete options should be the trash can icon in the lower right in a circle…
