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. why doesn't it default to "all"?

    the fact that it won't default to "all" is completely annoying. is there any way to set it that way? "priority" is really dumb.

  3. New format sucks

    I can't see both the message list and individual message contents at the same time. This is trash. Go back to the old format!!

  5. I HATE this "new" Yahoo Mail

    It takes up way to much real estate for things I don't want and don't use, and I can't find any way to change it to my liking. On one login I was offered "basic mail" and before could click on it, it disappeared. I have looked for settings to switch to basic mail and they don't exist. Your help article talks about ways to switch to basic mail, but those menu items in settings don't exist.

    Please give me more flexibility in how I want to use Yahoo Mail, and stop making this gigantic decisions for me, decisions that…

  6. Mailbox List

    The New Yahoo format is not user friendly as it relates to the navigation pane on the left. I need to be able to see my mailbox list in that pain like i used to. I now need to click on the one mailbox at the bottom to get the other one to show. That means I can no longer just glance at the screen to see if either mailbox has mail. This is a complete hassle. I don't have time to switch over to see each box to find out if there is new mail in that box. Please…

  8. Go back to the old

    I am literally about to delete my Yahoo account and switch fully to my Gmail. The layout is horrible. It is hard to focus on one thing at a time. Please give us the old one back.

  9. need bolder look

    The color pattern is so bland on the desktop, that when a new mail is bold, its barely noticeable, I miss when the whole line had a background, so at a glance you can see the new mail. The tabs are so small and very faint also. I keep my email open all day while working, and bounce from email to email, and the tabs are so hard to read to figure out which email I need to get back to

  12. Give us option to turn off mail avatars (icons next to senders' names in the mailbox) !

    Mail avatars are really distracting. They are way too visible. I find myself constantly looking at them instead of focusing on the messages. This is lowering my productivity. This is so annoying I'm thinking about switching to another email.
    Please give us the option to turn them off.

  13. Give me the option to revert back to Basic Mail

    I am a professional who uses Yahoo mail for my side business. The new format looks like its made for 3-year-olds learning their ABCs and 1,2,3s. C'mon, Yahoo. I don't need any "Enhanced Experience" for email layout, so why don't I have the option to continue sending professional-looking emails?

  14. Bring back where I can open a preview of an email attachment without having to open it

    I used to be able to click a preview of an email and it would keep open the original email and the preview at the same time and I can't do that anymore. I very much for the job I do would like that back

  16. Please give us a choice to go back to the old Yahoo

    I am having difficulty finding and reading emails with this new format. Can i please go back to the old format? The bright colors are harsh on the eyes. It take me too long to cypher through everything. I am not the only one. Many people i speak with are having difficulties with this. I also had a difficult time finding where to communicate this.

  17. Don't like the update!

    How can I count the ways, that I don't like this update? From the grey background, not black, to the smaller viewing area of reading emails. I got rid of the app on my tablet for the same reason and started using the browser. That's all I have to say. I may look for a different app to view my email.

  18. You can can the new look and go back to the old look. And, you can put the "More Settings" back on the menu under settings.

    You can can the new look and go back to the old look. And, you can put the "More Settings" back on the menu under settings. There is no way now to know how full the storage is.
