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. BRING BACK THE CLASSIC FORMAT NOW

    I hate the new look. Hate that the list of folders pops up in the middle of the screen. BRING BACK THE CLASSIC FORMAT NOW. NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS.

  3. Bring the other email format back

    It is very hard to distinguish between the emails. Also everything moves when you open or close the emails and I have to go looking for the one I want. I also want all of my emails to show. It switches over to Primary which also causes confusion when I am looking for an email or want to see what I have when I open up my mailbox.

  6. Get rid of the popups congratulating me for getting emails!!!!

    I received a popup telling me something to the effect of "congratulations - you've received emails for 3 days!". I receive emails EVERY DAY. I do not need Yahoo to congratulate me for them. If there are other cutesie popups like this, GIVE US A WAY TO DISABLE THEM.

  7. Keyword Search sorted by a folder is no longer available?

    With this new version, it doesn't appear that the option to do an advanced Keyword Search sorted by a folder (Inbox, etc) is available. I use this function weekly, if not more often.
    Since this new version was implemented, I have missed 2 bill payments and 2 other important messages because the user interface is not optimal. Very disappointing.

  8. Locking the "sort"

    Please work on locking how the mail is sorted. If I want it sorted by sender, I want it to stay that way until I want to sort it differently. The sort should be OUR choice, not what Yahoo thinks it should be. Once we set it, it should stay sorted the way we want until WE want to change it. VERY frustrating when I have to keep changing it back to the way I want it!!!!

  9. Give the people the choice if they want their yahoo mail to look like gmail!

    Throw this **** in the trash! If I wanted to use Gmail, I would. I have the same username at Gmail but only use that for registrations and *. I hate the layout, that is why I have been using Yahoo for all these years!
    NOW, you have made a *
    knock off of Gmail and here we are!
    Give us the option to keep the old layout or use the new. See what WE want!!!!!

  12. India

    Subject: Please Provide an Option to Switch Back to Old Yahoo Mail

    I have been using Yahoo Mail for many years and recently received the new Yahoo Mail interface.

    Unfortunately, I find the new layout difficult and less convenient to use.

    I am much more comfortable with the previous/old Yahoo Mail interface.

    I have checked the settings, but I do not have the option to switch back to the old version or Basic Mail.

    Please consider providing a “Switch back to Old Yahoo Mail” option for my account.

    It would be very helpful if users could choose between the new…

  15. glitching when writing new email

    When I am composing new email, every time it does a draft save, it glitches and shuts down my my message. I have to keep retrieving it from drafts. This is becoming a real pain. Please sort this out.

  18. go back to classic view

    Most users hate the new view. Why do you force us to use it. Even Coca Cola went back to their classic version. I want to remove the right side pane that has star, contacts, etc. icons. It is wasted space and cramps my center view. I've been a user for at least the past 26 years. Only old people use yahoo. Why try to modernize now.

  19. give back classic look

    you have decided to "update". I think of it as ********. The guy that updates needs to show you how much you need to "update" the inbox. Why? it works. Now I don't see things that I had in the past and have to figure out basic functions that were labeled in english words like "delete" or Spam. or Archive. Now I have a child's drawing showing me what used to have words to describe the button. Your update sucks. I have removed my app from my phone for the same reason. Awful. I will take my business to your…
