Welcome. How can we improve the New Yahoo Mail?

← New Yahoo Mail

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.

    The appearance is awful and not able to read messages properly. The The right hand side box is a waste

  • farmboypsuagr commented  ·   ·  Report

    utilize right hand side space for better view of emails instead of running ads

    Pls guide me how to get away the starred column when I view emails

  • Adwait Deshpande commented  ·   ·  Report

    The mandatory Contacts/Starred tabs on the right are irritatingly placed and they are not required at all. A simple UX thing would be to give a "collapse" button to close if not required, why to keep it compulsorily staring at the user?

    Please give an option to close that tab and increase the space, use the space wisely!

    First of all thanks for the new look, i thought the yahoo mail was dead.

    When I'm in inbox section on my laptop, the right side is just displaying nothing which is wasting space and compressing inbox into even smaller section so its hard to read emails, I have to open the email to read the starting of the email. I'm sorry If I could not explain it properly.

    We can have it replaced it with something useful and not the ads please - it just makes the whole thing look like disaster. Looking forward to see more changes on the mail.

    The right-side panel for starred, addresses, calendar should have a setting where the default is minimized so you only see the icons. And when activated, could either float in front of the main screen and then have a pin to lock it open.

  • Asit Baran Ray commented  ·   ·  Report

    In the right side menu starred, contacts, calendar need to show in a icon not detail. Its maximize space in inbox.

    When zoom are 100% are break down right side menu in 14 inch laptop. Need to optimize.

    Search in top should be align with Inbox.

    Why not lunch Yahoo cloud drive?

    Why push ads? Its annoying.

    20GB for all services for basic (free) version is good. After that can be offer for purchasing.

    The box to the right with "starred" and "contacts" ought to be removable for those who don't use it. It is an empty space that occupies too much screen area. Make reading emails very difficult if you are using side by side browsers on the same screen.

  • Russell Hemati commented  ·   ·  Report

    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN37104.html is incorrect. This only works for the current browser pane. EVERY time a user loads the mail site, they have to carefully select the control (only a few pixels wide) to hide the enormous (and almost never useful) right pane. "Hiding" it needs to be something that is remembered for the next site access.

    Is the ability to permanently "minimize" the starred/contacts panel? By putting it behind the "PLUS" subscription you are tacitly admitting that it is a user-hostile and unwanted "feature" that people will pay to remove/fix. If we're paying to remove it, at least let us actually remove it without having to click the minimize thing every single time

  • Sela Missirian commented  ·   ·  Report

    I just purchased the ad free version so i can get more room on my screen to read the content of my emails. I do not need the right hand column section on the right that allows you to see "starred and contacts" which is a TOTAL waste of screen space. I need to know how to remove this from my view so i have more screen width to read my emails properly. If this is not possible I will cancel my Plus subscription.

  • Chris Reckling commented  ·   ·  Report

    I can't figure out how to get rid of the right side contacts view, if it is even possible. I don't need it.
    thanks

  • Adolfo D'Onofrio commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hello, can I remove the box of contacts/other on the right side?
    Thank you

  • Chris Straghalis commented  ·   ·  Report

    I really don't need to see my contacts or starred messages. It's just taking up valuable space that I want to actually READ my emails. Please give us the option to get rid of the rid hand nav.

  • John Doe commented  ·   ·  Report

    Give the option to remove the panel located right of the inbox panel (contacts/starred), it takes up too much space.

  • Alessandro Vaccari commented  ·   ·  Report

    I wanna have the option to hide the right side panel (the one with the starred and contact tabs) otherwise the space for the email is not enough and i need to scroll left and right up and down.. it's not comfortable

  • Hitayu Thar commented  ·   ·  Report
