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! 💜

  2. Mark as unread button

    The "mark as unread" button at the front of an email has disappeared in the new Yahoo Mail layout. Is it possible to bring it back? (The small dot is still visible, but it cannot be clicked to quickly mark an email as unread again.) Thanks in advance.

  3. Your New UI Makes Things Impossible For Me

    Please provide the option to revert back to the old UI as I cannot work with this new one - it gives me a headache and I can't differentiate between the different emails like I could before which means I am missing important ones.

  4. New messages in Inbox

    The "bold" font of a new message is not visible enough to differentiate from messages that have been read. Allow users to set a color for new messages so that they are readily evident compared to previous opened messages in mail.

  5. Blocking Spam

    Under the old spam system you can block all selected spam emails, this no longer the case and emails have to be put back into the inbox to be blocked. This a pain and counter intuitive to where we were previously. Please can this capacity to block spam emails from the spam folder be restored?

  6. Return the close button for emails

    The version before this newest one has a close button for emails. I can no longer find this option in the new version. I currently use a view where the email would be displayed at the right side of the inbox.

  7. the starred emails feature is worse than useless: let me turn it off or hide the panel

    I don't know why Yahoo thinks it can read my mind and determine emails that I will want to look at. You're batting zero at this point, starring dozens of emails that I would flag and delete. All you've done is make it harder for me to find those emails that I do want to read by robbing screen real-estate from the emails listing itself. I have to use the two-line format to give the subject line more space so it isn't so truncated, and that results in fewer emails per page, and I end up doing a lot more…

  9. Don't have to hit all to see all emails

    I do not want to have to hit all when I first enter yahoo mail. I just want to see all the emails that have come in no matter what and then make the decision my self to delete or not. I do not want to do an extra step to see all my emails.

  10. Please let me see all my accounts on the same layout!!!

    This new layout is awful!!!! There is no way to check if I received a new email on a different account. I have to manyally switch to my many accounts to see each one! This is absurd!

  11. Where do I start?

    The Contrast between Read and Unread emails are almost indistinguishable.
    The Font looks like someone drew it in crayon, also hard to read
    The Ads now take up 1/3 of the page scrunching the actual email down to nothing, AGAIN - Hard to read.

    Sorry, but true

  12. Hire an actual person that understands User Experience.

    Hire an actual person that understands User Experience. The latest mailbox view and navigation was done by completely incompetent people, who don't understand the basics of human interaction and navigation. It appears they tried to steal the concept from Gmail, which is equally as poor. Try to have them look at an actual person on how to navigate the screens without flash and attempting to use their own personal preference for how normal people would use it. The classic view wasn't perfect, but a thousand times better than the new view. Fire them immediately. Unbelievable.

  15. Toggle between mailboxes

    Toggling between the mailboxes is very difficult now with the new interface. I need to scroll to the bottom and select the mailbox. I was able to have that at the top and toggling was a lot easier. This is a bad move.

  16. unlimited blocking of span emails

    Users should not be limited to blocking only 1000 spam email addresses. Users should have unlimited blocking of spam emails so that we don't have to dig through spam and unwanted emailers.
