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



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. Am Glad

    I am glad the trash, etc., are back on the left again. I couldn't appreciate them being centered. It would be nice if the icons were on the left as well when the message is open. Also, why can't I change the background color anymore? I'm stuck with either light or dark. And the message spacing seems a bit wide; I feel like I'm scrolling farther than I used to.

  2. Stop the way the inbox automatically redirects you to the top every time a new email shows up? Still hate this update!!!

    When I am scrolling down looking for an email (which is harder now without the dated dividers) every time a new email arrives it glitches me back up to the top and I have to start again. Very Annoying!!

    Still hate this update!!

  3. Complaint about Yahoo Mail app search function

    Hello, the search function in Yahoo Mail app is terrible. If I search for a term such as "Amazon receipt", the search function instead pulls up ALL "Amazon" emails and all "receipt emails". So instead of finding Amazon receipts, I instead get piled with all Amazon emails such as ads and all receipts from non-Amazon senders.

    This is really annoying and I'm seriously considering deleting the Yahoo Mail app. The computer website does not have this issue tho.

  4. new email "jumping"

    clicking on a message keeps making the screen "jump" so then you cannot either remember what you clicked on, or need to check it again to delete multiple emails. Very very annoying. The other issue is that reporting SPAM or Phishing is not easy - there used to be an email we could forward it to. NOW to report it directly - how can you do this when you can't even get to the email since the reporting is a separate link altogether? In addition, we would have to back track, take pic, and then navigate again to the reporting…

  6. I no longer can "search" for a keyword.

    I no longer can "search" for a keyword. The only field available is "subject". This field was especially helpful when I can't remember the subject line. Please fix.

  7. stop going to the top of the list

    ok removing the pages really messed up my workflow .. this being said I know I have it set to go back to the inbox after I move a message.. but can we at least make it not swing all the way to the top? like if im on message 152 and I delete it go back to the main list but keep it down where I was working like 152 not all the way to the top because now I have to scroll all the way back down this giant list to where I was. Really I just want…

  9. Manage Storage tab

    Just received a Yahoo! email about the Manage Storage tab. I'm pretty sure I've seen my storage is at around 15GB but I can't recall where now. Anyway. Well let's go check out the Manage Storage tab then...
    Why does the Manage Storage tab not indicate how much storage an account is currently using? Shouldn't that be the most important information on that page, seeing there are offers to extend it? Seems like a super logical thing to do.

  10. Bug Report: Yahoo Mail Print View Displays UTC Instead of Local Time

    In the new Yahoo Mail interface, clicking the Print button opens the NOVATION_APP print page, which displays email dates in UTC instead of my local time zone (Pacific Time). The inbox shows the correct local time. Old Yahoo Mail prints the correct local time. This occurs in both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome and began about a week ago.

  11. Fix the Printing Scale (You Just Broke It)

    The "New" Yahoo Mail's print function doesn't print the email scale correctly. It shrinks the email contents down very small, a small percentage of an 8.5"x11" page, making it very hard to read. The header text is similarly VERY small and hard to read. The print function in the previous version worked perfectly fine. Changing the scale option in the browser's printer options doesn't help this. For example, if you increase the browser's print scale to 130%, the email contents disappear off the side of the page. So this is not a browser issue. Yahoo Mail is forcing a huge…

  12. Stop Blocking the Navigation Bar with "Undo Delete"

    This "new thing" is obtrusive and considerably annoying. You moved it up and out of the way for a couple of days yet now IT'S BACK. Get rid of it....move it up...whatever. I'm about an inch away from going back to Outlook. That's how much some of us hate this "led by the nose" experience with Yahoo Mail!

  13. Let us OPT OUT of these motivational "challenge" notifications in email

    These are very annoying for people who don't need to be motivated to do what we're already doing. I want LESS clutter in clearing my inbox, not something else I need to click off. I don't want these motivational things like, "You're doing great! Keep it up!" just for clearing my trash bin or sent emails periodically, which I've done for years anyway. The only notifications I want from Yahoo are when I have emails I need to open that someone has sent me, or if there is a problem in some way with my account. NOTHING else. Please give…

  15. clicking outside the selector box of an email cancels all selected emails for deletion

    This drives me nuts. When i'm cleaning out emails, junk or otherwise, by selecting emails by clicking the box next to them, if i miss a box ALL the emails i've selected get de-selected. Then i have to go through it again. Huge pain. Please fix this.

  17. Calendar Scheduling

    Whenever I click on the date, I want to schedule an event, the date is off by at least a day. Even when I amend the date and save the event is off by a day. So I have to end up dragging the event to the correct day. It's a BIG hassle to say the least. Please rectify this buy at your earliest convenience. Thanks in advance !!!

  18. Fix the Calendar!!!

    When I choose a day to add an event-it opens using the current day-not the day I chose. It also does this when I use the dropdown menu for adding an event or task. This is very frustrating & inconvenient; especially after years of choosing a day & have that day screen open.

  20. Fix message hovers on Firefox, esp "Delete" (Trashcan) Icon

    After deleting a message with the trash can hover, the next message pops up. On Chrome, the trash can icon appears as expected. But on Firefox, you have to move the mouse out of the pane (either hover over another message, or move right to the preview pane and then back over the message. This makes deleting many messages in a row painful. It's a simple implementation bug, but worth fixing as Firefox is still a very popular browser.
