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! 💜

  2. Change "New Message" to "Compose Message".

    I think we can all agree the new Yahoo is a failure. The change was simply made for the developers to justify their job.Since the old Yahoo was fine, any changes they made just made it worse. One example is the "New Message" icon. I keep thinking it is something to click on to check for new messages. Change it to "Compose Message" or "Compose Email". Dumb.

    Very sorry you feel this way! We do hope you give the new layout a fair chance. It wasn't changed just for the heck of it. Life evolves, habits change and things do change. So we made this better. We currently have no plans in changing the New Message. Have a great day!

  3. 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

  4. 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

  6. Sidebar not showing the number of unread emails in Spam folder

    The sidebar is not showing the number of unread emails in Spam folder. This needs to be visualized for users. It works in my Android app but not in Firefox browser on my Mac. I have logged out and deleted cookies, no change.

  7. Stop. With. The. Pop-Ups.

    It's simple, stop with these 'tips' that are pointing out new features or changed looks. I don't care! Stop interrupting my work flow to tell me you slightly changed the GUI! It's annoying and pointless.

  8. Bring back the option to block senders from the Spam folder

    The option to block users and delete a block of emails from the spam folder was always an option until about a week ago. I am below the limit of 1,000 blocked users and I want to know why I am no longer seeing this options/??????????

  10. Can you make the email list easier to read?

    When I open my email, I want to be able to quickly scan my eyes down the list and see what I received. Instead, I'm inundated with a bright purple dot to the left, a round symbol for the company name that flickers, and too much white space. Get rid of the junk and please make it simple again. I beg you!

  12. Why change at all?

    To whom it may concern.

    You’ve got a perfectly fine email system: inbox, outbox, sent mail, spam, user categories, trash. Why change? What are you trying to accomplish? Please explain.

    The USPS is a failed system. So was AOL. Will Yahoo Mail follow the same path? More junk? More filtering by the consumer?

    Keep It Simple (KIS). Save your money on your Yahoo! (Y!) revamp It works now.

  13. Make it easier to group inbox/folder by sender.

    Make it easier to group inbox/folder by sender. You had this feature for years. It makes it much easier to mass delete and reduce clutter when you don't have time to keep up daily. I do not understand above/following method:
    Sort By Sender - This is still a sorting option, but you must disable Conversation view under your Settings. Then you will see "Sender name".

    Do the same for sends.

  15. Inability to edit description and name / description on 2 yahoo mail account

    Four of my email accounts work fine. Two of them cannot be edited in "Mailbox" on the settings list. My idea would be to fix this issue. I have tried removing and re-adding them but that didn't work.

  18. Mail problems

    Please make my account go back to Yahoo Basic Mail view. I did not ask for my account to change and it did in the middle of me simply reading emails. I cannot view or read them as clearly in the new view and it is very confusing and off putting to the eye.

  19. Trial Period and Option to continue with the existing Yahoo Mail.

    I use Yahoo because I really dislike using GMail. When you first introduced a new Yahoo Mail version, it seemed much too similar to GMail for my liking and I opted to stay with the old version, which suits my needs perfectly. Please retain the option to continue to do so. Thank you.

    Sorry Alison, there will be no reverting back this time. We are only making the new one better. We recommend you look at the settings as you can disable and customize things to your liking. Thanks.

  20. Wrong Idea

    New Yahoo Mail should not be forced. It should be a choice. I do not like the new look. I prefer top keep the Basic Yahoo Mail update from that, not give a whole new look.
    Please, give me back the Basic or give an option button for users to choice between.
