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!

  3. filter messages quick menu option

    There used to be a quick menu selection for "filter messages like these" which worked very well and was a single click when in a message. Now it is buried in settings with a confusing dialog box to accomplish a simple goal, to have a message route to a different folder. No reason to remove this from quick menu, and make the basic function unnecessarily confusing.

  4. Complaint

    I do not like this new inbox version. I didn't like it when it first came out so I switched back to the old way. Now I learn that the old way is no longer available. I do not think that is right for you to do. People should have a choice on which one they prefer and not change it. The old way was just fine. I may not continue using Yahoo mail anymore since you took away people's options.

  5. Starred Email marker (and other actions)

    Another casualty of change just to justify change:

    The star to mark emails, once smartly located in a way consistent with its purpose --to highlight, get attention-- (actually clickable in two locations on an email) has now been moved. Rather than separate and easily accessible, it has been inconveniently moved to the middle of a tight pack of other action options.

    A smarter reorganization would be to put a space between items that move the email (trash, spam, previous, next) and those that modify its status: read/unread and starred. In fact, three pairs of actions with a space or marker…

  6. Shrink the wasted space so we can have the email page open larger

    When we open an email, all this space from the top of the yahoo mail to the Visit site icon is just too big. It is completely wasted and uses up too much of my viewable screen. And that is the main reason I hate the new Yahoo mail.
    At least let us size it so our smaller computers can view more of our selected email.
    I thought maybe I could attach a screenshot here but I don't see that option.

  7. Expand message viewable area

    Some messages are larger in width than the viewing area. The total message should be readable without trying to move it side to side. Come on Yahoo!! If we have to use this terrible 'upgrade' it should at least be usable!!

  10. You can put back the BLOCK EMAIL ADDRESSES feature back under the 3 dots.

  12. enable blocking

    When I go to my spam folder and see obviously spam messages by hovering over the sender, I am suddenly no longer able to block the senders, even though I'm nowhere near the 1000 blocked senders limit.
    FIX IT!

  14. Create filter from email

    Would like to create filter from the context of an email which i have opened, this feature was available in the prev version.

    Currently It adds several manual steps: copying the sender or subject, opening Settings, navigating to Filters, creating the rule, choosing a folder, and saving it. That’s much slower than creating a filter directly from the message you’re already viewing.

    This was the only reason i was on the yahoo mail

  18. Limit blocked senders to 10,000

    The spam and phishing BS are out of hand. The option to select all spam and block all future emails from sender have mysteriously vanished overnight. Yahoo claims they limit spam emails from sending too many at once, but that doesn't stop this one from sending literally EVERY MINUTE. I had to copy and paste each one to manually add them to my block list. I will run out of free space soon. I would have paid for a premium account, but the free one is not very good, so I'm not looking to upgrade.

  19. Please restore being able to drag images into an email and setting them to be attachments rather than inline.

    Your recent changes to Yahoo Mail eliminated the ... at upper right of a dragged image. It was convenient to be able to click those dots and change my image to be an attachment. Now I have to use the paperclip, which is less convenient. Please consider restoring the option. I find inline images to be very cumbersome.

  20. Advertisement problem

    Some of us cannot afford to go ad-free. Placing an "Ad" just above inbox messages creates problems when an errant click on the ad is made. I did that recently, and the ad was a hack telling me my computer had been taken over. Fortunately a nearby person with tech wisdom navigated me out of this trap. For the care of those who cannot afford ad-free, can you please reconsider selling ad space on the thin line just above the inbox messages of email. Thanks for fixing this problem.
