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.

*Those asking about going back to the old version. Unfortunately, if you do not see the "Go Back" button you cannot go back. We really hope you'll try the new experience! Thanks!



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



COMING SOON!
Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon!




**Please do NOT post about Account, Password, Login issues here. It will be deleted. Please go to help.yahoo.com.

  2. Stop the stupid achievements thing

    Just stop it. We don't need email achievements, this isn't a video game, it's a dumb idea and is annoying and interrupts me with pop ups. Just stop it already. Stay in your lane, there's nothing wrong with just being a regular email. You don't have to try to spice things up. Good enough is good enough! Geez, can't believe I even had to say this. In the history of ever I have not once given email feedback, I sure hope that highlights how bad of an idea the whole achievement thing is.

    We understand you don't like it, Greg, but we have many users who do like it and have been engaging with it. You can certainly disable this by going to More, in the left hand navigation, and then Your Streak.

  3. The ablity for the user to customize their inbox - with options of the old inbox with optional new features.

    The problem is, the inbox is too busy looking. With ads constantly popping up, computers are freezing, and the inbox is extremely bulky-looking. It's hard to differentiate an actual email from an Ad. Its cluttered and not user-friendly. No, I do not care about "rewards" for reading and sending emails. That is a horrible concept and should be discontinued.

  4. Stop letting **** ads pop up in my inbox

    My idea is to have Yahoo find a way for **** ads to stop popping up in my inbox.

    Its ridiculous and needs to stop.

    Yes we do have ads today on our platform. We know not everyone will enjoy the ads, so we do offer an ad-free experience (like many apps today) if you upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus, but of course it's not mandatory. Thanks!

  5. restore to traditional format - the new one is too "busy"

    I do not like the new email format, not for a second. I want to return to the traditional format but do not see that option in settings. Can I restore the old formant? How do I do that?

  6. New UI is too slow, frustrating

    The "Theme" is the "idea" is that the new forced interface is terribly slow.
    I click on something and maybe or maybe not something will change on my screen (besides more ads)
    in about 30 seconds. I imagine AI is crunching in the background figuring out how to "improve" my user
    experience. If so, FAIL.
    I've used Yahoo Mail for about 25 years but looks like it may be time to move on.

    You can enable multi-tasking tabs by going to your left hand navigation:

    More > Settings > Appearance > Multi-tasking Tabs

  9. STOP DELETING TRASH FOLDERS AFTER 7 DAYS

    YOU IDIOTS HAVE SPAM SET TO AUTOMATICALLY BE DELETED AFTER 30 DAYS BUT YOU HAVE TRASH SCHEDULED TO AUTOMATICALLY BE DELETED AFTER 7 DAYS!!! WTF!!! I REFER TO MY TRASH ON A REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE SOMETIMES I DELETE AN EMAIL ACCIDENTLY OR SOONER THAN I SHOULD.

    This is the norm for us and many email clients. We have no plans in changing the auto delete Trash folder after 7 days. If this is an issue, we recommend you Archive your emails instead of deleting.

    As for "Streaks" yes we did launch this fun new feature, but you do not have to participate. You can disable it by going to More > Your Streaks.

  10. Please make it easy to switch back to the d version: mail.yahoo.com/d : I have no use for the gamification of my email

    Please make it easy to switch back to the d version: mail.yahoo.com/d

    I have no use for the gamification of my email. I am annoyed every time that i see that icon the points to the wasted time, money, thought in this feature while not being devoted to enhancements that increase the usefulness of yahoo mail

    Allowing for the possibility that some do find value in the new interface, please make it easy for those of us do are annoyed by the new interface that worked so much better for us: mail.yahoo.com/d

    Yes, we launched a fun way to reward our users for reading and organizing your emails, but you do not have to participate (not forced). Friendly reminder to always check your Settings. You can disable Streaks by going to the three dots "..." in the left hand navigation and then Your Streaks. Thanks.

  11. Option to open message in new tab

    Hey "geniuses" at Yahoo your latest crapfest of an interface took away the ability to open a message in a new tab. That was vital to my productivity. I would go through a large list of unread messages, check most of them for immediate deletion without opening, but the messages I wanted to read I would open in a new tab. You killed that feature for junk nobody wanted. I ask again, does anybody at Yahoo ever speak to another human being???

    Hi Jason, we didn't take that feature away. It's still there, we recommend checking your Settings as we have a lot of things there you can disable or even customize to your liking.

    From the left hand navigation: More > Settings > Appearance > Multi-tasking Tabs.

    The best way to get rid of spam is to mark as spam, not delete or block! This helps with your spam filters and does exactly what blocking does, prevents that email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam! It is free and part of regular Yahoo Mail. Thanks!

  13. blocking

    Make blocking available on Yahoo email. It was once there, but that option was removed.

  14. What is the point of challenges

    Get rid of that *. Its annoying and useless garbage. You are an email service not a **** social media site.

    HI Harvey, unfortunately there is no reverting back. We are EOLing the old version. We hope you give it a fair chance.


    As for sort by sender, we didn't take this away. You can still do this. Just like the old version, you need to disable Conversation view under your Settings. Once it's disabled, you will see "Sender Name" as a sorting option.
