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. 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…

    Hello, just wanted to let you know we already have designs on bringing back your mailboxes/accounts back to the top, left hand side. So when the column is expanded you will be able to see all of them, clearly (no hovering) along with the unread counts.


    Thanks for your feedback! 💜

  2. Resizing Inline Image

    Please restore the option to make an inline image small

  3. Right Side Panel (Contacts, Starred, Etc)

    There should be a way to remove the contact box on the right. This feature is useful when two windows (one is yahoomail) are displayed side-by-side. During these situations, window real estate is valuable.

  4. Microsoft Teams invites

    You had this feature before, but now I can no longer accept invites from Micorsoft Teams in my email. I have my email linked to my google calendar so the solution to add invites to my yahoo mail are useless. This would be one of the biggest reasons I may have to stop using yahoo if you guys can't fix this.

  5. Photos View

    There used to be an images or photos folder on the side that showed you all the images in your emails all together in a collage of thumbnails.

    It was a critical search feature to my work.

    Now, I know I can click on the advanced search function and click the "photo pill" but that does not help at all.

    Sure, it sorts out the emails that contain photos, but it does not display the images unless you click into each individual email, so you have no way of locating the picture you are looking for quickly or easily. You…

  6. Send Button in Long Thread

    In the new email, if I'm in a long thread, I have to scroll way way down to get to the SEND button. Can't you put it on the top? THAT would be an improvement.

  11. Yahoo Mail Plus subscription on an annual basis?

    Hello Team,

    Is it true that you can't get (buy) a Yahoo Mail Plus subscription on an annual basis? I'm referring to the subscription that removes ads from your email.

    I can't add any events to my calendar from a link in an email, it freezes on the change timezone pop up and does not let me exit or move forward. This has been going on for more than a week now, when will it be fixed? Or should I migrate my calendar back?

  13. Have differnt Star Colors

    I was thinking it would be great if the user could change the star color from just red. I personally star a tone of emails but they are for different things like work, purchase orders, medical and so on. So for example, I could star my work emails with a yellow star and for medical a blue star and so on. Just food for thought.

  14. fix this bug

    Looking at a big inbox... you want to quickly select a bunch of messages (easy) and mark them all read (also easy), but then, you want to move on, and select a bunch more. In the old UI, after marking messages as read, they were deselected, so it was easy to move on to the next set. Now, the messages remain selected, so to not consider them again, you have to either unmark them all (a PITA), or select all, and deselect all using the 'all' marker at the top of the column (also a PITA). IMHO, this is a…

    When I edit an existing Calendar Event - change the date - then click on another field such as the time - the square calendar box where I selected the new date does NOT close. This makes it difficult to select the SAVE button. Please improve this.

  17. Ability to create new filters from an individual mail message

    The ability to contextually create a new filter from an individual mail message was a feature I personally used on a nearly daily basis.

    This visual UI redesign has removed this functionality. I'd love to have it restored.

    Related, messages that would have been previously caught by my existing filters are slipping back into my inbox, rather than to the folders the filter specifies them to go to. If I could contextually create filters, this would be less of an issue for me, but now I would need to open settings --> go to filters --> manually (re)create the filter.

    Why is it impossible to copy/paste an email address?

    For example, in the "To" you add a name. Then, there's no way to click it, to grab the text of the email address.

  19. attachment filenames with greek characters are not displayed on iphone

    Hello,

    I have been using Yahoo Mail via Chrome on Windows for years without any issues. However, during the last week, a new problem has appeared.

    When I send email attachments (PDF, DOCX, JPG) with Greek filenames, recipients using Apple Mail on iPhone cannot open them correctly. The attachment name appears encoded, for example:

    =?UTF-8?Q?...

    instead of the actual Greek filename.

    If I rename the same file using only Latin characters, the attachment opens normally on the iPhone.

    The files themselves are not corrupted. The problem seems to occur during the email sending process, as the filename encoding appears to…

  20. Creating A List

    I am trying to create a list in Yahoo mail. I successfully created the list and added one contact, but I need to add 15 more. When I open the list and click Add Contacts then type the name exactly as it appears in the contacts, it does not find the name. But when I click all contacts, the name is there with a valid email address. This appears to be a bug in Yahoo.
