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. worst email app change ever

    Go back to the old themes I can not find a email from 10 days ago since YOU decided it was not it in priority grouping. I click "all" and once I LOOK AT SOMETHING AND CLICK ON MY INBOX AND IT DEFAULTS TO PRIORITY. You created more clicks for the sake of add revenue. Stop It......

    remember the acronym KISS = keep it simple stupid

  3. Sorting the email boxes!

    I want my most used/important email box at the top of the list. Somehow, one of my mailboxes that ISN'T my most important is at the top so EVERY time I open Yahoo Mail, I have to find my main email box. I am actively looking for a replacement for Yahoo mail. I have already cancelled the "no ads" $5/mo add on. You have ruined my email experience.

  4. Bring Back Colour Options

    The new yahoo mail update, when viewed on a computer, only offers light mode and dark mode (no more colour customizations like previously). Either option is unpleasant to view. When the toolbar/top bar are the same colour as the emails, it just looks like a giant white (or black) page filled with a bunch of text. Visually very disorganized/cluttered feel. Bringing back colours (or even the option to make the toolbar/top bar black and the emails white, for example) would visually make a huge difference. As is, it's too cluttered looking and makes me no longer want to use my…

  8. Fix the space for the multitasking tabs to prevent the entire mailbox from constantly shifting up and down.

    Greetings.

    I suggest that the multitasking tabs be given the space they need as a permanent section. It is perfectly fine if this space occasionally appears as an empty row within the overall layout; simply increasing the existing space slightly and making it fixed would suffice. This would prevent the entire mailbox constantly shifting up or down whenever multiple emails are opened or closed—it makes for a truly poor user experience.

    I have been using Yahoo for a very long time—over twenty years—but this latest update is causing me a lot of trouble; please fix this. Thank you.

  9. Make the front page of Yahoo Mail more subtle

    Can you change the font on the mail home page to be less fat?
    Can you get rid of the dot used for unread email?
    Can you make it look more like the classic so that there is less bold and more plain?

  13. Bring back the shortcut to "filter emails like this" on the mailbox view

    Please bring back the "filter emails like this" shortcut to the mailbox so that I don't have to navigate away from the mailbox view to create a rule, then play the copy and paste game to create the rule. So lame that you have made the mailbox less functional while calling it new. Please fix this.

  15. Bring back themes or color options for the mailbox view on a desktop browser

    Please bring back themes, or some option to select a different color pallet that dark or light. Both are too extreme and I need something more in the middle. Gray or the ability to choose my own colors would be much more helpful. This is the main reason I never switched to the new layout when I had the choice. I DO NOT appreciate being forced to use the new layout.

  17. what is the point

    what is the point in forcing a popup of a "QUESTION" about a challenge, thats yes or no, when clicking no STILL makes you do the challenge. then making us have to find where its at, and LEAVE it manually. whoever is making these updates and running this new site.... honestly needs to be fired. its 2026, we dont have time for ******** coding.

  18. provide a visible icon to adjust font size

    I have clicked on every "Setting" I can find,, and have "Googled" the internet and used your Help selection, but am unable to find a way to increase the font size in Yahoo Mail. I think you should provide a visible icon that is clearly directed to adjusting the font size.

  19. ALLOW A PLAINER VERSION - THE COLORS ARE NOT HELPFUL AND THINGS LOOK FUZZY

    IT IS A MISTAKE THAT YOU ARE NOT OFFERING USERS TO CHOOSE TO REVERT TO THE EARLIER VERSION. WHILE SOME IMPROVEMENTS MAY BE USEFUL, THE OVERALL LOOK OF THE YAHOO EMAIL IS COMPLETELY OFF PUTTING! THE COLORS AND OVERALL LOOK ARE NOT PLEASANT TO THE EYES--ESPECIALLY OLDER ADULTS. PLEASE ADD A PLAINER LOOKING VERSION SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS. THANK YOU
