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!

  1. Buttons on email change order

    The mark as read, move email, mark as spam buttons change their order when using yahoo's new **** mail that I'm now forced to use. Was so little effort really put into its design that this is the case? I know you want to shoehorn ads and ai slop into everything at this point, but all you're doing is killing your products. Fix it, or lose a 30 year client relationship.

  3. Be The First to Move The Check Boxes Over to The Right. Set The Trend!

    Seems like you want us to use the hidden icons over the messages. You know, the ones that show up to the right when I hover over a message. I find it wildly annoying that the star is now way to the right or up in the bar (I'm used to going down the left). I also have to swing all the way back to the left to inspect the sender's address. Why don't you just move the checkboxes and the sender's ID over to the right as well? On the left, you can leave the time/date, the search/logo icon,…

  4. Fix the Glitch

    My idea is to switch back to the old style of Mail. This new style is jacked. When I view messages I have sent or start a new one it says my name is "Mckenna MacGyver" and it is NOT. I checked with a friend who received a message from me and my real name was visible, so it kinda works but the interface I am looking at is wrong.

  9. Add "Block sender" to the SPAM folder

    Dear Yahoo Design Team,

    It was a clever and useful feature to have the option "Add sender to blocked list" directly in the menu, especially for spam or unauthorized senders (phishing).

    Why was it removed? Could you please re-add it in the new design?
    Currently, we need to copy the sender's email address, go to 'More' ->Security and Privacy, and then manually add the address, a much less convenient workaround.

    It would be highly appreciated if you could set it back.

    Thanks,
    Anthony

  10. The folder column is much too wide

    Less wasted space in the folder column and more space for subject text would be really, really, really, really, useful.
    Please also reference my previous suggestion about hiring mass quantities of hiring usability engineers to help you through your heinous usability problems.

  11. Date separation on list view

    On the old version you had the emails sepparated (with a physical space) by weeks / months / years. That should be brought back.

  12. Start over

    This whole site looks and acts like a preschooler made it. Its clunky and it wont allow you to see the pictures sent in news letters full size only about half of it at a time. This system SUCKS BIG TIME

  13. Fix delete on the Inbox (or other folders) page

    Whenever you get spammed with email that your filters can't handle, it is extremely helpful to click on the trashcan icon to the item to delete the top email. That email is deleted and the next email hops into its spot. Then, just click again and the next item is delete and then repeat to delete the next email. All that garbage is cleaned up quickly.

    NOT ANY MORE <<<<<<
    The trashcan does not appear until the mouse is moved, slowing things down noticeably.
    Do not try to tell me about clicking the checkbox and doing bulk deletes because that…

  14. Inline Photo

    I have been with Yahoo Mail from the very start. I am shocked that after putting all of this effort into a new design that you still don't have an efficient way to *** an inline photo/pic like Gmail. Very frustrating to try and drag and drop a pic in the right spot...sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I know the idea here is to make the interface frustrating enough to make folks pay to get rid of ads and stuff...I get that....you are a business. All these changes and you still can't do what other services have been doing…

  17. Option to Remove Sender circle/icon/picture and checkbox

    Please add a feature to have a clean Sender name without a circle/icon/picture box nor a checkbox in it's place - this would be for either the mobile app or desktop app. We want the same CLEAN YAHOO MAIL INBOX that we had before: Sender/Subject/Date ONLY PLEASE. We NEED EFFICIENCY in processing emails....this is not it. Please give us our CLEAN Yahoo Mail Back that we all liked better than GMAIL. These changes are so bad I am willing to change email providers.

  20. Return to pre-update

    I really really do not like the new updated yahoo cox email site. Please return to original format. You should not make these humongous visual changes without user approval, and should have an option to maintain original format.
