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. Better readability

    hi guys, appreciate the 'free' product and am obviously partial to the old UI.

    I get we're not going back to classic mode but can you create something that enhances readability/processing, call it an accessibility feature etc, because this larger/bloated font and ui is really grating, it's not something to just 'get used to'...it's a step backwards for visual engagement and productivity.

    I already switched to compact mode and lowered the zoom on my browser to 90% but it's still poor. I hope you consider adding simple visual enhancements that improve engagement with your product.

  2. Folder view

    I can't see my folder list anymore without clicking "Folders" in the new version. It's terrible

  3. Go back to the older one! This one is not user friendly! Have a tab to go back to the original one!

  4. Folder wheel sucks

    While I absolutely detest the new look, I absolutely miss having all my folders open on the side for filing away. The click-and-drag through the wheel of folders can easily lead to selecting the wrong folder by mistake.

  6. Dry run for buttons on e-mail

    I'm hesitant to click on buttons such as "Unsubscribe" or "Track Package" because I don't know what they would do (as well as because they are an annoyance, covering up text on the screen). It would be nice if there was a dry run option where I could see what would actually happen.

    I guess "Track Package" would open a link to a tracking page on USP or Fedex.com. But how do I know this? The bottom line of Chrome doesn't show the link like it does if I hover my mouse over a hyperlink within an e-mail.

    I should…

  7. E-mail lists not working

    E-mail lists can't be added to e-mail messages. I have to manually add each individual address into the address slot. Very inconvenient compared to the other more stable version.

  8. Block obvious spam

    Previous version allowed users to block and delete spam messages. It would be better if Yahoo! were able to delete obvious spam messages being sent from compromised email addresses, but if that can't be done the it would be good to restore the ability for the user to block these nuisance messages, and therefore to remove the limit on blocked senders.

  9. Change read and star status with just a click

    These features of the previous version were very helpful.
    Now is very frustrating to select the message and click the appropriate button!
    And where is the close button of the open message???

  10. Restore Inbox Toolbar and Allow Customisation of Email Actions

    Please give users the option to customise the email action toolbar, including which buttons are displayed and their order.

    The new Yahoo Mail hides frequently used actions such as Archive under the three-dot menu when viewing an email, adding unnecessary clicks.

    The action toolbar has also been removed from the top of the inbox and other folders, only appearing when an email is selected.

    Please consider:
    *Allowing users to choose which actions are permanently visible when viewing an email, rather than hiding frequently used functions under the three-dot menu.
    * Restoring the action toolbar at the top of the inbox…

  11. Allow individual emails to be opened

    After a long, frustrating attempt to find a way to switch back to the old Yahoo Mail, I figured I'd share this:

    We were allowed to middle click an email from the inbox and have it opened in a new tab before. Now that is not an option. Having this implemented MIGHT prevent me from switching my life to Gmail.

  13. Subject line memory

    Why did you remove the subject line memory when composing emails. In the old style mail, if you send to someone frequently, it would pop up automatically once I typed the beginning of the name.

    Why did your company take away all of the convenient features and leave it as mess now?

    Also, give us the ability to use the old style mail. The new one is terrible. The font and highlighting is horrible.

  14. Adding filters is harder know. I used ot be able to click on the email and use that to add a filter to put the emails into a folder.

    Be able to add an email to a filter folder instead of clicking the gear, going to filter, clicking add, remebring the email, and doing it the hard way. Just make it like it was before. Where you could add a filter directly from the email.

  18. Make AI features toggle available again!

    I tried to toggle off the AI summaries, but despite attempting to turn them off entirely, I still get AI summaries of emails that are both unwanted, AND INCORRECT!

    PLEASE, please please please, let me turn off the AI features entirely.

  19. Restore feature to drag/slide the visible width of the folder column on left side

    Restore feature to be able to drag/slide the visible width of the folder column on left side. With old email, that width was adjustable to show complete folder names, even long ones. Even though with the New email you can hover over a folder name and the full name is displayed, there is no column width adjustment, so folder name longer than about 20 characters are cut off. Some of my folder names have nearly identical names, with only the latter portion of the name being different than another nearby folder. Now I can no longer just click on the…
