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!


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



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.




Thank you! 💜

  1. Dark mode has some issues

    When I'm writing an email, and I want to change font color, if I change it to 'white' while in dark mode, it becomes invisible when I switch to light mode. Perhaps there could be an 'automatic' color that is always white in dark mode and always black in light mode?

  3. automatic starring

    I would like certain emails always to be marked as priority. creating a rule for this would be helpful but even easier for me would be if i could star contacts so they are always marked as priority and i can sort by that or see them in the starred view at the top right or in my inbox view automatically and then maintain the remaining sort for the rest of the inbox. probably since you have the starred view this is good enough. Which by the way it would be nice (unless it does this already) to show only…

  5. accurate "learn more" link

    a pop up: "yahoo will look different! Learn more"
    This link does not take me to an explanation of the new features. It simply redirects me to general Yahoo help page. boo.

  6. Archive button should be in toolbar

    Earlier GUI had the Archive icon up front in toobar, which we tend to use a lot to archive many messages. Now it is one click away in a menu bar. What a bad idea to push a highly used feature down. Not sure if you are seeking feedback or looking at data before making such changes. i want to go back to the old GUI, but you dont give any option to do so.

  7. Allow me to use a filter to send messages to the last of my folders

    I just tried adding a filter to send certain messages to the last of my folders. I couldn't do it because the drop-down menu of my filters was cut off at the bottom by the bottom of the screen.
    ETA: I received a message that triggered the filter. It put a copy of the message in the folder I specified but also left it in Inbox.

  9. What happened to automatically categorized emails?

    I'm trying to understand what you changed, but with a recent update, now every email that I receive hits my "Primary" in box rather than auto-sorting to social, newsletter, etc. PLEASE, how do I get them to revert to the way it was? Thanks.

  10. Printing bug in New Yahoo Mail – Windows system print dialog does not work Αντιγραφή

    The new Yahoo Mail interface has a printing bug that prevents users from printing emails through the Windows system print dialog.

    Steps to reproduce:

    Open an email in New Yahoo Mail.

    Select Print from the email menu.

    Chrome opens its built-in print preview, which works correctly.

    Select "Print using system dialog" (Ctrl+Shift+P).

    The temporary email print window disappears, and the Yahoo Mail inbox reappears in the background.

    Select a page and click Print.

    Result: Nothing happens. The document is not printed, and no error message appears.

    The same issue occurs when selecting Microsoft Print to PDF instead of the physical…

  12. Make paper clip clickable

    The paper clip Icon in the email was clickable on the top of the emails. Clicking it took us to the attachment. THis feature is not there. If there are chain emails, we need to scroll all the way down to get to the attachment.
    Think about bringing that back, you dont want to lose something unique

    It was the one of the best things in Yahoo mail.

  13. Long List of Searches but Can't Delete

    Please make it easy to delete old mail searches. There is no X when I highlight them or right-click so I have a list of about 20 and the most recent are way off to the right side. USELESS.

  15. Display of email address instead of Real Name

    It is impossible to navigate the contact list when the same people has multiple email address, or Multiple people with the same name. It only display the person name, and THERE ARE NO WAY TO DIFFERENCIATE BETWEEN THEM. Please either change it or just let people use legacy mode

    Remove the large Blocked images warning from top of every single email! I already know it is blocked, even a tiny link would work, didn't need a alert that takes 30% of the screen!

  18. external image suppression

    Hi.
    Under "Show images in messages," I click "Ask before showing external images," but it repeatedly reverts to "Show images in messages, Always, except in spam folder."

    It should keep my setting.

  20. Email List button - fix

    I was switched over to the new yahoo mail and am finding that when I
    am sending email using an "email list" the button stating "email this list" is not loading
    the email address in the address line...
    The chatbot told me to type in the name of the list - which worked but why is this not working?
    This "new yahoo" has been out for a long time - I went back to the old system because I did not like
    many things about it and now I am finding this bug... besides the fact that the color selections…
