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. Display ALL mailboxes

    I don't like that I have to hover over the Yahoo icon on the lower left and then click on another mailbox. I want them to display at the top left like before. Having to Hover, then Click is inefficient. Any annoying.

  3. Allow for more keyboard usage to select and delete emails

    I prefer the old layout as it was easier to just select and use keyboard shortcut keys instead of having to rely on mouse clicks and other manual selection. The current layout sucks as I try to click to select and it opens the dang email and i can't quickly delete by using the delete keyboard button.

  4. Restore folders view on left side of inbox (all of them)

    For as long as I've had a Yahoo Email account (many years), I have had access to view all of my folders on the left side navigation bar. It is now gone. I'm no longer able to view all of my folders while working. Instead, I have to click on multiple dropdowns while trying to remember, or find, a given folder I'm looking for.

    This is laborious, tedious, and frustrating.

    Can the left navigation column once again restore all folders in view? I need to see all of my folders to be able to sort, find, and research, and I…

  5. Default Sort

    Why can't you save as a default sort to have the old messages appear first so you can view and respond to the new emails in chronological order? The app reverts to new emails first always. Seems odd that a simple sort cannot be saved as the default.

  7. give more info re sender

    The old system let me see IMMEDIATELY if the 'sender' was fraudy. I could tell if the actual address matched what the sender SHOULD BE. NOW I CAN'T TELL without having to break stride and RESEARCH. Please don't make me do this. Clarity is paramount to avoiding scams. Please make it easier, like it used to be. Thanks

  8. Reestablish the folder for downloaded photos

    Before the change I had a folder to send myself photos from my phone that was easy to access and they were listed by date. Now I have to go to Attachments or Emails to myself, scroll and open each individual Email which takes longer. Thank you

  9. remove the view streak

    treating viewing your email like logging into a mobile game to try and force engagement numbers is wrong on so many levels it isn't even funny. the behavior is slimy and dirty and forces addiction and everyone involved in approving this decision should be punished.

  10. wording is too bright and too bold.

    wording is too bright and too bold. Do not like it compared to the old classic look. I also do not like the logos next to the sender as this is loud and distracts from the sender name. New is not always better.

  11. Wider column to view an open email.

    There are four columns on my Yahoo! Mail page. The ads on the right take up so much room, that when I open an email to see what it says, I only get about 2/3 of the page. Yes, I can use the scroll bar at the bottom, but what an inconvenience! Can you adjust the page size to fit the column--or better yet, shrink the add column so the opened email will display fully? This seems designed to please the ad buyers, not to please the Yahoo! Mail users.

  12. Stop the new ad at the top from coming up every time you open the page

    It keeps giving an ad at the top asking you to add the app, but when you close it once, it reappears next time you reload or go to the page. It takes up a whole line at the top so you keep closing it because it's annoying... But it comes back.

    The NEW MESSAGE button on the top left is also wayyyy too big. Because it's also bright purple it's all you see on the whole page if you scan over.

  13. Stop messing with the space that you view your emails in. I hate it. I can't adjust the area by dragging the bars or anything.

  15. Search by sender

    Add this feature back. The only option I see so far is to delete all mail from sender. But what if you don't want to delete ALL mail? The old version allowed to search via sender and subject line which is much better for mailbox management.

  16. Get rid of the colored icon's that have the initials of the persons sending the email's

    For a lot of people it's to busy to open your mail and see all of those colors on the left side showing the initial of the person or place . It makes everything else more confusing as this layout is already confusing. I don't understand why they have to do such drastic changes.

  18. remove the reply forward option that is now below the text. Unless you reduce the size of the font it cuts off too much of the text area.

    Continuing....for us old people if you increase the size of the font by using the Ctrl button and your mouse
    so you can read it you can see VERY LITTLE of the text area. Please put those options above the text area as before. PLEASE
