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. Update on Previous Feedback

    I just wanted to say that I was traumatized when my classic view went away this week BUT I did realize today that I can collapse BOTH panels on the right and left sides to give more room to read emails and it is much better than when I first started using the new UI :)

  2. UI has too much negative space

    So much wasted space between buttons and lines that emails only have small frame at the bottom and difficult to read.

  5. Zoom only for sections.

    I also use outlook online (https://outlook.cloud.microsoft/).
    In this app I can zoom in on the message section and that section will get bigger without effecting the folders or list of emails. As one with vision issues, when I zoom in now on the new yahoo mail, the entire page get bigger, all 3 sections. Can this be fixed?

  6. Don't move the message controls to the bottom

    it's inconsistent and confusing for the controls to be at the top before you click on a message, then disappear from the top and move to the bottom. Please just keep the controls at the top. That whole area at the top just goes blank, so there's no reason to make it disappear.

  7. Limited sort options and select all mails option is also missing

    Team Yahoo,

    In this new Fresh Look of yahoo mail you have missed out on two key features.

    1 - The sort options are limited, in the previous version the user could sort alphabetically also, however this feature is missing in the new one.

    2 - The select all mails option is missing.

    Request to restore these options. It is getting difficult to use the new version.

    Regards,

  8. Make the email columns adjustable again

    Width of columns no longer adjustable; extra steps to star an email; visually difficult to read; definitely not an improvement; looks awful; someone must have been bored and wanted to ***** up a perfectly good email program. Terrible! and no way to stay with the old setup :-(

  9. . ÔÕ .

    The new UI is horrible. Chrome and Firefox for Windows. Way too much whitespace. Way too spread out. I'm looking elsewhere. Thank You.

  10. The email is now so small to see

    You can't make that email larger so you can see everything in the email body. Makes it impossible to see the entire body which is stupid. The "new" email sucks.

  11. Get rid of ads posing as emails

    Ads posing as emails are deceptive and disgusting. Get them out of my feed.

  12. Horrible

    The last version was excellent. You went from a good layout to child-like version. I will be switching to gmail if this is not reverted in a hurry.

  13. Sorting by sent & received

    In the old e-mail you could search for emails from a person, and then designate sent, received, or all. Please restore that function.

  15. too many "unable to delete contact" error messages

    I get quite a few "Unable to delete contact" error messages. I don't see that there would be any concurrency issues involved, since my Contacts are a private database with no other users and I don't have the contact records open in more than one place. So it's either a latency issue, a timeout, or a dependency of some kind, in which case the error message should give more information. There are also times when I get a "contact deleted" error message but the contact remains in the list on the Contacts panel, so the UI has not been refreshed.

  16. Make unread messages more visible

    Using just bold to unread messages is stupid. Add background color like it was previously. Make this mail move faster like the old one, now its like in delay...so frustrating. Your product is worst, you did your ab testing and got the negative feedback and still decided to go along with this ********* product theme

  19. Display full email address of sender -- not just what the spoofers want us to see

    Yahoo hides the full address of the sender so it is much harder to see spoofed or fake emails. Yahoo supports spoofing by only displaying what the sender wants us to see. I have to go through multiple steps on every email to see who it is actually from.

    Why is Yahoo adding such support to spoofers and other criminal activity???

    The full sending email address has to be visible on the screen without going through any additional steps.

    You are doing a dis-service to your users and supporting crime.

  20. Sort by sender / select a year - to aid in deleting old emails

    I am a long-time Yahoo Mail user. I'd love to clear out emails with commercial intent that have long-been forgotten. It would be helpful to be able to sort by sender, so that vendor emails from 10 years ago can be easily found rather than stick around in the middle of my inbox - inaccessible, because I can no longer remember I used to receive emails from them. Please consider this basic feature. I have been trying to manage my inbox, but some of the emails are completely inaccessible with the tools you've provided. Ability to access particular years could…
