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! 💜

  4. make the inbox wider

    I very much dislike the new inbox design. The majority of the space should be dedicated to READING THE MESSAGES, not categories and the address book. The new look only allows the very center of the screen for reading messages. If this continues I will have to find another service.

  5. E-mails are terrible to read when there are several replies

    You need to fix e-mail trails when there are several replies. It is almost impossible to follow a full trail in date order. In addition, when you forward an e-mail and type on it, this is then included in the trail as well.

  6. Hard to read

    Thanks for screwing this up. You should offer a choice to return to the old e-mail. It was easy to read and use,

    This ****? Not easy to read or use at all. The idiots who came up with this version should be fired, but my guess is they got big bonuses for their stupidity.

  7. Correct errors

    Now you've changed things, mail doesn't not work properly. I'm unable to send emails using my usual browser (duckduckgo) and some things are generally jumbled up. Please correct these errors.

  9. Larger Email Window and Ads on the LEFT

    Believe it or not I am more apt to click on an AD if it is subtle. Having it HUGE and taking 1/3 of the right side of my email makes me want to delete my yahoo mail account that I have had for 25 years. I have always loved the simplicity and ease of use of yahoo but now, with the update, I can't even view larger emails without navigating the slider. You would be better off having ads on the left side and smaller, alongside the folders.

  12. I don't like all the wasted space between the boxes in the new view.

    Maybe compact view will be better, but I don't like seeing all the empty space between the boxes on the screen.

  13. Resize attached image size option LOST

    New Yahoo update has lost the ability to resize contained images. This is in emails that I am trying to forward. Previously you could hover of the top right corner and an image size option would appear. I will not be saving each image and individually resize each one and then doing re-attach. Not an option. Most of my emails that I send have this issue!!

  14. Get rid of that window with Stars & Contacts

    It's in the way of previewing my email and I can't seem to find a way to eliminate that window. Absolutely hate it. I may have to change email servers if I can't figure a way around this unwanted feature. Thank you.

  15. right panel always open - hate newest update for yahoo mail (pro, paid user)

    I hate the new layout of the yahoo mail. 24 years customer- paying of yahoo mail. The right side menu with the starred items, always is open- I close it. Then reopen email another time, it's open. It takes up space. make it so it stays closed or we can remove it. The lines are too far apart vertically in the preview... less emails to glance at quickly. Please help me enjoy yahoo mail again (which i prefer over gmail immensely, by the way), Talked to chat, they sent me here. The other BIGGER issue is that the little arrows…

  17. Actually BLOCK the senders in my blocked list.

    While attempting to add spam senders to my blocked senders list, imagine my surprise when I get the message that the spammer addresses are already in my blocked senders list, but your wonderful system is still allowing them to hit my mailbox.
    How much are these scamming pieces of **** paying you to ignore user's blocks?
    I've had this address for over 30 years now, and with your *-poor coding when it comes to ACTUALLY BLOCKING SPAM and refusing to honor blocked addresses, I'm about to start using my gmail instead.
    Every mandatory "update" you force us into using

  18. Configurable, narrower sidebar width

    Lately, the minimum sidebar width (contacts area) is about twice as wide as it used to be. My messages can display in only half my screen width now. That's fine on my workstation but on my laptop I can display only 3/4 of the message width when I have the mailbox list also displayed. I have to use the bottom slider to move the message back and forth to read it -- a slow and awkward process. Please made the sidebar width adjustable to narrower dimensions again as it used to be.

  19. Greying out read messages

    I dislike how cluttered the inbox looks, simply having the subject of the email BOLD doesn't call out emails enough to see what is and isn't read due to the fact that you are BOLDING Ads in the middle of the inbox. This will kill how much people use yahoo going forward.

  20. drag and drop images as attachment

    Please make that when i drag and drop move an image that put it down in the attachment and not in inline image. The best way is like in Thunderbird, if you drag and drop image he ask which one i whant, inline or attachment.
