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 asking about fingerprint or passkey sign in every time login

    Here we go AGAIN!!! Please STOP asking every time I sign in if I want to use fingerprint or passkey ID.

    You should have another choice of "do no ask this again"
    I use a desktop so cannot do fingerprint or face ID and it is shared with rest of family so using a passkey means my email is no longer private. So please do not begin to require this kind of sign in since it is impossible for some of us.
    Asking every time adds a step to login (very, very annoying) and I will NEVER say yes, so…

  4. Stop asking if I want notifications

    Don't just give me the option for you to ask again later. I will NEVER want notifications. I have notifications on my phone. I don't need it in my webbrowser ever. If I should want it, I will choose it. I don't need a periodic pop-up. This should be common sense.

  5. Flexible appearance

    I can not see 4 panels: inbox, emails, preview, last - calendar, star, contacts. How do I remove this last panel? I want a bigger space for the preview. I cannot even expand it anymore like before.

  6. None

    The new e-mail is terrible. I will be switching e-mail providers if there is no way to revert back to the old style.

  8. line spacing

    I need the ability to change the line spacing in the Inbox. The spacing is too wide, and necessitates unnecessary scrolling to see what used to be visible in the default view in the old Yahoo Mail.

  10. Abolish the Inbox monitoring Streak Counter

    So you really monitor when and how I read my mail? Why do you have these childish games attached to me sending emails? So now not only are you monitoring my email, but you are watching me read it?
    Could you at least pretend to respect privacy? Maybe hide the fact that you are AI'ing all my personal information and activities?

  11. Highlight unread emails

    I already submitted this but forgot to mention that Gmail does this. Please don't just put a little 'dot' before an unread email, but also please, please highlight any emails that are not read.

  13. Bring back the ability to personalize the folder list.

    I don't use these folders: scheduled, starred, unread - and yet I now have to scroll past them to see the folders I use ALL THE TIME. Why are you making me do all this extra work? Errors will increase, because I will end up moving important email into something useless, like "starred", instead of the folder I actually need. LET USERS CONTROL THE UI. Let ME decide what folders appear in the folder list.

  14. Bring back Yahoo icon on browser tab.

    Before, I could scan my browser tabs and quickly identify my Yahoo! email, because it had the Yahoo! icon. Now there's some ghostly, barely-there outline of a stylized envelope? What's that about?? I have multiple email services - how do I know which one is Yahoo?????? Bring back Yahoo icon on browser tabs.

  15. Remove ads inbetween mails

    Please remove ads inbetween mails , ads should be in a separate section.
    Navigation looks shaddy with no proper direction as it had before.

    Change does not mean that it has to bother your audience it could be more enhanced in functionality but currently the new view is very difficult to navigate.

  16. Bring back ability to re-size column widths of folders vs message list vs email content

    Before, I could size the side-to-side width of the various elements - folder list, message list, and email. Now I can't. I can't read my email messages or compose them. Now my folder list takes up far too much space, most of empty ("white space"), while my messages are jammed into such a small space that it takes multiple scrolls to read even the most simple message. It is the actual EMAIL which should be given highest priority. The CONTENT. Bring back use control - let us decide how much screen space each element takes up. Let us re-size on…

  17. Before your up date you could cut and paste with a picture that provides more understanding??

    In your older email it stored little notes you could choose from several quotes to click on and auto fill one in the subject section.

  18. Bring back "unexpand" messages in conversations

    In long conversations, there can be dozens of posts - if EACH email is 4 lines high, then I can only see 2-3 at a time, instead of the 10-12 I could see previously. Bring back the ability to click on the header of the message to "unexpand" it to a SINGLE LINE. I don't need "message preview" when trying to find a specific message in a long conversation thread, what I need is the ability to see AS MANY of the emails as possible, so I can find the correct one I actually want to read.

  19. Bring back "Mark as spam"

    Why have the quick actions disappeared? One of the things I use most - "Mark as spam" is now hidden somewhere. Why? I don't "star" any of my email, why am I forced to have a feature I don't use? And lose one I use all the time? Let us CHOOSE which quick actions to have. If I want to "star" an email, I can do it on the message list, where it's been for over a decade.

  20. Get rid of the little circles with initials

    Why are there little circles EVERYWHERE? I don't need them. How does having a lot of 2-letter abbreviations help me read my email? I need to know the actual names of people, not some cutesy "aesthetic". Now I have to roll-over each email to get information I used to be able to see at a glance. Putting text inside graphics requires more cognitive energy to process. Why make me work this hard to read my email? GET RID OF THE CIRCLES.
