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. More message contrast

    I was just switched to the new email redesign and I can definitively say it's worse than the old design. The old design had a high contrast difference between emails that were read and those unread. Now there's barely a difference, just a slight bit of bold to unread messages. Please increase the contrast somehow between read and unread messages, either in font or highlight background.

  2. Make the interface better, not SO MUCH WORSE

    I have multiple mailboxes in my Yahoo Mail+ screen. In the new interface they are collapsed together at the bottom of the screen instead of listed individually at the top. This makes management of my inbox very difficult. How do we rearrange this? Also, there is a new "Starred Mail" box at the right taking up valuable screen real estate. How do I get rid of it?

  3. Return to previous look!

    I hate the new the look and I want to you guys to stop trying to change my email. I liked my email just the way it was. And now I can't sort by sender which is absolutely critical for me to be able to do.

  4. CLASSIC LOOK and LAYOUT....BRING IT BACK

    This "new" yahoo mail is overrated and totally unnecessary, the basic look is much smoother and less complicated to navigate. AT LEAST give the users the CHOICE to use the look they prefer.

  5. remove STREAKS

    horrible thing. we use email for the email, not as a game. give us an option to remove streaks. it ****** me off and makes me want to NOT USE THE APP OR THE web Interface. Obviously your thought behind this was to increase people using it to view more ads... Complete opposite effect.

  6. go back to the old look

    give the option to go back to the old look. this new look is awful and dumb and makes me want to drop your service forever. stop breaking things that are already working fine.

  8. please get rid of this trash interface and bring back basic mail

    absolute garbage being forced down our throats. Put the delete / reply / and other action buttons back up at the top and make them permanent, and not just visible when an email checkbox is checked. how stupid is it to make those buttons disappear? horrible. change the colors back, put the read / unread dot back in the place where it was, and make the entire layout more compact. There was NO REASON to change it. Also, FFS get rid of the stupid STREAKS thing. Email isn't a game. I refuse to use the IOS App because of the…

  9. Let me go back to the old design.

    I hate the new look, and I hate that you are forcing it on me even more. So in the future I will likely not be using this product anymore. I can't help but fear for the elderly grandparents who have no idea how to operate the new browser at all or why their email now looks like garbage. Your service has one job, stop trying to 'innovate' on it. It has worked just fine and looked the same for a long time, you don't need to 'fix' it. Just let it do the one job I use it for.…

  12. Get rid of it!

    How long must I wait to have Yahoo revert my mail to the Classic Mail style/layout? I am one of many thousands waiting for the new look mail to be ditched. Get rid of it ASAP please.

  13. You shouldn't have changed it without asking if I wanted it changed. I DO NOT! I want my old look again.

    Give us the option of going back to the way it was. I do not like the new look.

  14. Paginate the inbox (and all folders)

    The new visual design is neither great nor horrible, but the implementation of "infinite scroll" for messages is the dumbest idea ever. I used to be able to page through emails, but now I have to keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and eventually it gets slower and slower and slower. Infinite scroll is a known performance killer, and makes it take longer to get to older emails. With AI coding assistance, it should be very easy to allow users to have a toggle switch in their settings to either have a horrible infinite scroll experience or to use a…

  15. Provide a color setting for the Yahoo Mail page.

    The original Yahoo Mail offered a color option. My screen was green, which was my color preference. Now, all I get is a blinding white mode or a dark mode that doesn't show some of the details within an email.

    Plus, every time I open this new Yahoo Mail, it asks if I want to open an application to mailto links. NO! I don't and it asks every time I open it....no matter how many times I turn it down.

  16. Give me the old look back

    I do not like the new look. We should be able to keep the old look, even if the system has been update. Whoever came up with the new look, glad it works for them. I DO NOT LIKE OR WANT IT!

  17. Go back to the old version!!!

    The "new" version SUCKS!!! It looks horrible!!! Bring Basic Mail back!!! It's bad enough you got rid of 80% of our storage last year & now we have to pay monthly for it like on an iPhone, & now you've ruined the way our inboxes look??? Why would you "fix" something that wasn't broken?!?!?!

  18. what happened to block sender option in SPAM folder?

    In the SPAM folder, there used to be an option when you select emails and ... BLOCK SENDER. The selected emails would then be added to the BLOCK SENDER LIST and emails would be deleted. Please bring this option back!!

    It currently works in INBOX and other folders. I moved the emails from the spam folder into a created one and got the BLOCK SENDER option.
