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. Make highlights more highlighted

    The new mail looks fine except for one thing. In dark mode (I'm assuming anyway, but that is DEFINITELY something I need) the highlights between read and unread messages are not there. Instead, I need to rely just on the text being bold or not, and that makes it VERY difficult to scan through and quickly see which messages I have or have not read. Could it be a bit more clear?

  2. When will you produce a mobile calendar?

    Instead of wasting your time and resources on making totally unnecessary changes to mail you should produce a mobile calendar. You are the only ones that don't have one, which is ridiculous in this day and age.

  7. Please remove the rounded corners.

    Seriously, guys,

    Please remove that round corners and add a FLAT, SNAPPY EDGE.
    Sick of every "modern" design to become a parody of itself.
    Everything is round corners and blurs now, but is that a design itself?
    Does it serve any functionality and making your company softer and more humane?

    No, it just looks like every other slow and buggy app now (even goople kept the straight edged design as a hidden option).

    Also, consider changing all inbox mail in the dark theme as darker by default and lighter on mouse over, cause now it all looks unread.

    Thanks!

  8. need more differentiation between rows

    The new mail is very, very difficult to use as there is limited differentiation between rows. I have been successful at reverting back 2-3 times now, can I do it again?

  9. Visibility and Accessibility

    1) Make Folders Visible
    2) Make an even "More" Compact version to see more emails more quickly
    3) Eliminate excessive white space
    4) Provide more delineation between areas, people who don't see well, can't find things that are hidden or only appear on mouse over or in a pale font color.

  10. little purple dots

    in the old yahoo mail the little red purple dots next to the check boxes used to function as making the email read and now clicking on them just open the email. Is there a setting to change that? also is there a way i can go back to the old Yahoo mail?

  13. Fix your Email Settings

    How about you get your **** email to stop signing me the **** out of it on my home personal computer that does not get shared. I have had this email account for decades and never had an issue that it would just sign itself out several times a day requiring me to sign in to sync it. This is a recent problem and I don't know which of you moronic developers decided that signing an email account 4 times in a couple of hours was a great thing. Eventually you won't get the chance to advertise to me because…

    please make new emails more visible or have something that distinguishes it better than slightly larger bold print. The new design is so hard to see. I honestly hate it and it makes me want to close my account. Also the spacing between the emails is wasted space, too much and inefficient. Thanks for helping.

  16. Email Management – Search and Bulk Delete

    When a user selects all emails matching a search criterion using the “Select all 110 messages that match this search” option and initiates the delete action, the system displays a confirmation indicating that all selected messages have been deleted.

    However, only the first page of emails (50 messages, based on the configured page size) is actually deleted. The remaining selected emails on subsequent pages are not deleted, despite the system indicating that the entire selection has been processed successfully.

    Steps to Reproduce
    Log in to the email application.
    Search for emails using a specific sender or keyword (e.g., canadavisa newsletter).…

  18. Tab to body of email

    This was my complaint in your previous so called updates. When you move from the Subject line to the body of the email you cannot tab within the email. Tabbing takes through all the options which makes absolutely no sense.

  19. Ability to forward a message so that it still looks like the original

    Not sure WTF happened, but when using a browser, my messages forwarded become plain text and lose all images and links etc. and show only text and no pictures. WHY THE F*CK is it like this now . . . BUT IT'S NORMAL WHEN USING THE PHONE APP!?!?! It's almost like HTML is enabled for the app but CAN'T BE ENABLED when using a browser. WHY?!?!?

  20. Let me see all my boxes at the top again

    Another benign update designed to just direct our focus to advertising, and push us towards paying for premium.

    OK, anyway, I need to see all 3 of my boxes simultaneously at the top left again for monitoring, rather than buried under a toggle at the bottom.
    Thanks.
