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.

Unfortunately, you cannot revert back. We are only making the new one better. We know change is frustrating and hard but we really hope you'll give the new layout a fair chance.



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.

Photos View - We added it to the sorting drop down in the top, right hand side of your Inbox. Click on that icon, and you'll see "More Filters" at the bottom, from there you can filter by Attachments and Photos in emails.

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
Unread Count - You can hover over "Inbox" to see the Unread count or you can expand the left hand column and Unread will be in the column below Inbox with the unread count. No hovering.



COMING SOON!
Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon!

Unsubscribe Button in Subject Line - We are moving it out of the way!



**Please do NOT post about Account, Password, Login issues here. It will be deleted. Please go to help.yahoo.com.




Thank you! 💜

  1. Can you make the Unsubscribe bubble proportionate to the new Inbox spacing?

    The Unsubscribe bubble that pops up over the message title is the same size in both the Medium and Large choices of Inbox spacing. This blocks almost all of the title, leaving little room to navigate with the cursor. I'm constantly clicking to open an email message when the bubble pops up, and I'm clicking that instead. I've tried resizing my browser, but that doesn't help this kind of thing. I either need a magnifying glass to read things, or one email is taking up my entire screen, and then pop-ups block it all. Please, please fix this!

  2. Calendar Feedback

    Why was the Calendar List View removed? Why would anyone consider that helpful? Restore it. You calendar is barely useable without it. The other views stink

  3. Keep "reply", "reply all", "forward", "Read/Unread", "Star", "Move", "Delete" & "Spam" buttons positions static.

    In the latest edition of the Yahoo mail, the "reply all" button has been made conditional where it appears or disappears based on whether the email chain has one or more persons on it. When this happens, the location of the delete and spam buttons to move. Previously, I would keep my mouse on the delete button and keep clicking on it as I am going down my emails. Now, when the "reply all" button disappears, the spam button shifts to the location where the delete button used to be. And unintentionally, I end up marking the email as spam…

  5. Remove AI Summary in Inbox

    I have the AI summary turned off. I still get AI summaries at the top of my emails. From some nonsense called Yahoo Scout. TURN IT OFF!

  7. Fix SHIFT-D keyboard shortcut

    SHIFT-D needs to set input focus on the folder search box. Currently, you can use SHIFT-D, but then you have to find the search box and click on it with your mouse once it appears, which makes SHIFT-D useless -- since it's not actually a shortcut. This used to work in the old interface.

  8. Inbox Categories Options

    In playing with my email settings (and realizing I definitely prefer having the inbox categories disabled), I've realized that the option to presort/filter my mail with a quick button click is actually really handy. Here are some ideas for tweaking it to make it more user-specific.

    1. Please please please, let me set which filter I want as my default and/or allow the option to just go back to the last used filter. I hate that it keeps going back to the 'priority' filter.

    2. It would be nice to be able to select which filters I want being used. I don't…

  9. Sort by Sender Not Working

    The new sort feature "by sender" is almost completely useless. It doesn't sort all the messages by the sender. Also, if I highlight a message and then do a shift-hold and click on the end of a string of emails I want to delete, the selection tool does not work — it selects a random set of emails, not the ones I wanted to select. The previous version worked so much better. Ugh.

  10. Restore Archive's easy access

    I finally reorganized my email to be stored in the Archive folder but now the redesign removes the quick, easy access to the Archive.

    From the Inbox, I select messages and there's no way to move them to Archive. When I click the Move icon > select Folder > Archive isn't even listed or available to get to. The only option is to open every email individually, then click ... > Archive.

    Yikes.

  14. Move Unread Folder up on the left side bar or give us the option to customize our side bar.

    Move Unread Folder up on the left side bar or give us the option to customize our side bar. I use the unread tab every day to see what's new and mark my emails as "read" quickly. With the new design, the Unread folder is now hidden under the three dots and requires an extra click every time I'd like to navigate to it. If for some reason it doesn't make sense to move the unread box up for everyone, then let us customize our own side bars or restore the option to revert back to Classic Mail. Thanks!

  15. NEW EMAIL AND UNREAD IN DARK MODE HARD TO DIFFERENTIATE

    In the new version of Yahoo Mail, any read and unread messages in dark mode are so hard to differentiate. It was better in the older version.

  17. Keyboard Shortcuts

    Allow pressing delete key to delete checked emails. This is always how I used to delete emails before. I know it's not a huge deal to have to click the trash icon, but I can work faster on my keyboard and this shortcut was nice.

  19. Search function has no keyword search

    I can't believe there is no longer a keyword search for the email search function. That's a 2nd strike. You also removed the ability to search through a specific folder. How can removing functionality be considered an improvement in the email program? I'm thinking of moving to gmail more often now.
