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. Put it back or at least make read items faint

    This looks like a horrible phone app. I hate it. At least dim or make faint the mail already read.

    I used to be a paid user, stopped paying when you updated and ignored feedback, and you seem to be doing that again. And why do you not have MAIL as one of the options here??

  2. get rid of the AI features

    if you absolutely must keep them because you've sunk too much money into the sinkhole that is AI, at least change it to a toggle ON feature instead of toggle off. It is absolutely infuriating and insulting to have a constant pop-up that I have to click out of. I don't need a machine to summarize my emails, I have basic reading comprehension.

  3. Visualizzazione email

    Salve,
    vorrei chiedere di ripristinare la funzione sul website per ritornare alla vecchia versione di Yahoo mail. La nuova grafica, infatti, non permette una facile visualizzazione delle email, almeno secondo la mia esperienza. Decisamente migliore l'impaginazione web precedente.
    Grazie

  5. Get rid of the streaks

    Im just trying to reply to emails. I dont need confetti going off because I wrote an email to someone a few days in a row. No one would want that ever. The halloween challenge and all that is embarrassingly bad. I have had a yahoo account for over 20 years and feel like this is the first time I should switch out. Do you think gmail has a little pumpkin in the corner that shoots confetti when you write an email?

  6. turn off the 2 step verification process when signing in

    This isn't an idea just can't figure this out when signing in. Here's some feedback about signing in since I can't contact yahoo about the signing into mail. I bought a new router and got it installed on Oct 19 or 20, 2026 and ever since I had to get a code to prove it is me. It is me I don't share my info to no one. Yahoo is getting just like facebook. I didn't select the 2 step verification process to sign into yahoo mail. Stop asking if it is me and having to do codes. I also…

  7. Please Restore the Permanent Display of Linked Mailboxes

    Dear Yahoo Mail Team,

    I'm very disappointed with the recent Yahoo Mail redesign.

    I manage five email accounts, and the previous layout allowed me to see all five mailboxes and their unread email counts at a glance. Now, I have to hover over the currently selected mailbox just to see the others, and the unread indicators are tiny and easy to miss.

    This is a significant step backwards in usability. The previous layout was clear, convenient and efficient, whereas the new design makes checking multiple accounts unnecessarily difficult.

    Please consider restoring the option to display all linked mailboxes permanently in…

  8. please make it more visually customizable on desktop (or I will abandon my account)

    aside from Light and Dark, please add more color schemes. also provide an option for angular boxes instead of rounded ones. i will leave Yahoo if this isn't solved soon; i need it to look good.

  9. Different colour rows between Read and Unread emails

    The new Yahoo! Mail theming has put every email under the same row colour (grey - dark theme), regardless of being read or unread. This makes it extremely difficult to distinguish what emails remain unread. Please revert this back as per the original format, otherwise I will be forced to look at other email providers as it is now very difficult to use.

  13. Too hard to read

    It is just a horrible screen. Not easy to read and that makes it easy to make mistakes when deleting emails etc. I would think you would have tried to improve not go backwards. Sorry but the old version was so much easier to read and work.

  14. Disctinction read and unread

    It is very difficult now to distinguish between the read and unread mail. Before, the difference was much clearer (unread being in bold). Now the difference is too small! Please revert to how it was before!

  15. Improve New Layout

    Emotional rant below. Actual design feedback summary here:
    1. Way too much blank space. We need a much more compact option.
    2. Way too many things I don't want taking up room. We need an option to turn off the right side bar and a way to hide or collapse all the default folders so we can actually see our own folders.
    3. Hiding the list of mailboxes in a drop down selector at the bottom of the screen is incredibly inconvenient. At minimum, please put that selector at the top. Or have an option we can turn on that…

  16. Search within folder

    Earlier it was possible to select 'inbox' or 'any folder' and search with 'from' or 'subject' etc. Now selecting folder itself is removed.
    Without 'folder' search option, search 'from' gives list of mails from all folders. When we go through these mails from 'inbox' folder, we are likely to delete mail that is listed here but was saved in other folder.

    when last time we migrated we had same issue. Subsequently this was resolved.

  19. Restore the Ability to BLOCK Spam Senders

    Restore the Ability to BLOCK Spam Senders

    Under the previous version of Email, one could select to Block Spam emails, before Deleting them. In New Email that Option is Gone! One as now Manually Update the Blocked Senders List.

    This morning I found 8 Emails in my Spam Folder. I could no longer to a Bulk Add to the Block Senders List. Instead, my only option is to Permanently Delete. The amount of Daily Spam is Increasing, so I really need the Ability to Block Spammers, as I can get as much as 20 Spams in a Day.

It's just more useless BS that only complicates... and delays - whatever I'm doing - like going through my emails, reading & deleting... or putting into their respective categories. With regard to email - less is the best and more just makes you hate your email provider. FYI: I don't want to hate yahoo, so please don't fix what's not broken. Oh yeah, personally I'm never going to use the Yahoo Calendar, my iPhone handles that - and it stays the…
