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. Go back to previous layout

    everything looks the same and it is hard to distinguish between the emails. When I hit a check box the whole column moves and is extremely annoying.
    This is the worst email experience that I have ever had.

  2. Colors

    Please restore my old format of the Yahoo Mail.Please restore the colors, design and everything as it was. I can't distinguish between new mails and ads, there's no structure, everyuthing seems just a bunch of mixed trash in an Inbox. UGLY UGLY UGLY and worst of all, confusing and non funcional. Please restore my Yahoo Mail, especially the INbox with its format and design

  4. I REALLY need a compact view!

    I don't like this new look very much at all, but I might be able to get used to it if I can have a compact view. Some themes or colors would be nice too.

    Hi there, thank you for submitting feedback! We pushed the new layout a while ago and have been slowly migrating users. The migration is almost complete.


    We see a lot of 'Compact View' feedback so we wanted to gather more feedback!


    When looking at your Inbox, we have in the top, right hand side, the sorting icon. From there you can change the Inbox Spacing to: Small, Medium, Large. (Screenshot provided). Same under More > Settings > Appearance (Screenshot provided)


    So our question to you:

    1. Are you not seeing these Settings/Choices?
    2. You DO see them, but you want it even more Compact? How compact is our question?

    Thanks for your help!!

  5. Unread v. Read Contrast

    The contrast between read and unread emails in this new yahoo is unrecognizable. There needs to be greater contrast or a different color to differentiate between the two. I DO NOT LIKE THE NEW LOOK!

    Please bring back the header for each day that shows the date, so it would be easier to see what emails are received each day, instead of one big list

  7. Turn off infinite scrolling

    Or at least give me the option. I don't want to have to select one email at a time or hundreds if I want to delete multiple emails.

  8. Speed it up

    The new email is unacceptably slow. Especially deleting emails. There are so many errors. When in an email, and selecting to delete it, it takes about 1 minute to delete the email and return me to the inbox. It's been this way since the new Email launched a month ago or so. Unbearable. It's also super slow to exit an email. If I've double clicked into an email to open it, and want to go back to my inbox, that takes at least 30 seconds. Adding fancy features, and Yahoo made the most basic functionality almost unusable.

  9. Advertisement issues - Virus

    advertisements that can result in a virus like encounter should not be allowed on yahoo mail. the ad prompted me to a page which resulted in a screen and audio claiming my computer was corrupted and i should not shut or close the computer and asked me to call Microsoft at the telephone number on the screen. because i was afraid to do that i had to shut the computer down manually and reboot.

  10. Search by Subject & Folder

    I use Mail search almost everyday and the old Yahoo mail let me search by subject and folder. folder search is now gone in the new version. How do I switch back or get this daily used feature back ASAP?

  12. unable to move emails from sub folder to inbox

    i can move emails from inbox to a subfolder, but if i make a mistake i cannot move from a subfolder to inbox. drag and drop doesn't work nor does ticking the checkbox and clicking on 'move to inbox'. it doesn't work in standard or basic yahoo versions.
    This includes the spam folder which now has some emails incorrectly put there by yahoo's filters from my bank that i cannot move back to the inbox.

  16. Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views

    I could not find another way to tell you that I am UNABLE to see the compact view yet in my Inbox. I still see the same old options but not this newly added option in sorting on to rigt hand side of the page, as well as in SETTING >> APPEARANCE. Its not visible for me in both these places. Please migrate this change for my user id also and let me know. Else its very frustrating already to use Yahoo mailbox with such large view that I have right now by default. Thanks for considering the feedback anyways.

    Hi Dinesh and Kumar, yes we got your reply from our other thread. Thank you so much for the feedback. Yes, you ALL should be seeing the new Compact views under Settings and from the Sorting icon. Very sorry about this! We have shared this with the team and we hope to have this available to everyone very soon. Thank you for your patience!

  17. COMPACT VIEW

    CAN YOU PLEASE ROLL OUT THE COMPACT VIEW ASAP? I got a feedback from Yahoo that a lot of people are asking for COMPACT VIEW. When I go to the feedback page using the link provided, I only see one feedback even though it says there's a lot of feedback from the same topic. I cannot even add my own feedback to respond that I do not see the Inbox Spacing setting. This is very frustrating! I've been using Yahoo Mail for over 2 decades and I don't understand why you force us all with this new layout. I'm happy…

  18. Compact view was better and the calendar being on the same window

    Subject: Request to Restore Classic Yahoo Mail

    Dear Yahoo Support Team,

    I have been using Yahoo Mail for many years, and my account was recently switched to the new design.

    I am very disappointed with this change and would sincerely appreciate the option to return to the previous Classic Yahoo Mail layout.

    The new interface has much larger spacing between emails, making it difficult to view as many messages at once.

    Additionally, the calendar now opens in a separate browser tab instead of being integrated into the same window as my emails, which makes it less convenient to use.

    The…

    Hi Mercy, thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately, there is no reverting back. It's been almost 2 years of migrating everyone to the new design and that time is come to force the last of you guys. Very sorry!


    You mentioned the "Compact" view or the spacing. We actually have a way to make the space between emails tighter. Are you not seeing these?


    One is in the top, right hand side of your Inbox. There's a icon that is essentially the "sorting Icon" and from there you get: Small, Medium and Large. (Screenshot included) and then under your Settings > Appearance you'll see the same.



  19. It too light, spacing between emails to much, doesn't look neat. The old way was much legible

    Hi Lorraine, we do have settings in place for Compact view. You can see them by tapping on the sorting icon, in the top right hand side of your Inbox. (Screenshot provide).

    You can also see these Settings under your main Settings page. More > Settings > Appearance.

    (Screenshot provided)


    Do you not see them or see them, but want it more compact?

    You're asking for feedback on this issue: https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/962180-new-yahoo-mail/suggestions/51860070-i-really-need-a-compact-view but I'm unable to add a reply??
    Anyway, I do not see the compact option shown in the screenshots, either in the filter dialog, nor in the settings.. I tried both in Firefox and Edge.

    Thank you for submitting feedback. We really appreciate it. You can certainly send us screenshots of what spacing you are seeing in your Inbox and your Settings from the sorting option. Please send to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. We'd really appreciate the help. Thank you!
