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.

    Please restore the ability to click the star button back on the left side! It's killing my wrist to move across the screen like this.

  • Irene S LaFortune commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don't want the contact list to take up a 1/3 of my screen!!!!!! wheres the option to change that??
    stop hiding the setting icon!! put the settings icon on top, not hidden at the bottom of the folders column!!

    The panel to the right of the email.....that should be removable completely so that email can span the whole page...There is too much going on and its not useful. If others want it, great, but i have tried to find a way to remove it and can not.

  • Donna DellAringa commented  ·   ·  Report

    I've had my mailbox setup with only 2 columns: All the folders on the left and all the emails on the right. With this new version, there is now a third column to the right of my emails and none of your layouts remove it. It'll just stay empty for my needs so it would be better if I could just remove it. If not, I'll go back to using the old yahoo mail for as long as I can.

    Think section that you see the emails and the preview on the right should be wider and the box showing the ads takes up too much space. Preference is not to see the ads at all! Also can the option to filer or sort the emails by sender be made available so to be able to group relevant emails together? Makes it easier to manage

    I like that has a Plus subscriber I can "minimize" the right hand column, but how do I lock it to minimized? If I refresh the page, or open it new tomorrow, it will once again be "maximized/open" and thus using screen real estate I prefer to have for my mail list.

    Minimizing the Starred/contacts/more Box in view/layout setting: SInce I am a Yahoo Plus customer, I can contract the expanded starred/contacts/more box when I initially open desktop Yahoo mail. It would be nice to the able to save that layout/view in settings instead of having to do that every time.

    How do I get rid of the starred messages box on the right? This is a waste of space, I just want to be able to look at my messages, and a quarter of the screen is now taken up by something I can't get rid of. This is terrible.

  • j r commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is there any way to get rid of the right panel?
    The right panel is completely useless to me and only takes up space that could be better used for expanding the preview pane.

  • Gyöngyvér Kovács commented  ·   ·  Report

    Would like to close the starred/contact section, so the email content in the layout can be wider to read it easier, but I don't see any option for that.

  • Lorraine Crussell commented  ·   ·  Report

    I like the light appearance but don't like the grayed out box if read in the summary list. I prefer the subject be bolded if unread and unbolded if read.
    I'd like the right hand column to stay minimized if I do it once. If I close email and reopen, I want to keep the right hand column for contacts, calendar, etc. to remain minimized. Should be a setting and not just on the email page.

    GET RID OF STARRED VIEW, there is not enough space on the screen to see emails

  • Michael Hardiman commented  ·   ·  Report

    GET RID OF THE STUPID BOX ON THE RIGHT, IT IS A WASTE OF SPACE. AT LEAST GIVE THAT OPTION.

  • Nag Namburi commented  ·   ·  Report

    The right panel in the new mail interface that shows starred, contacts etc is very wide and takes up a lot of space which is not even needed. This panel is not even adjustable. Don't like it taking space without much benfit

  • Kelsey Rae commented  ·   ·  Report

    The ad space in the right column is taking up so much space that I'm having to scroll left to right to read my email. And my emails/inbox column is slid as far to the left (as thin) as allowed.

  • Wron Schien commented  ·   ·  Report

    There should be an option to hide the right panel with calendar and others, or at least reduce its size

  • Adrien Phillips commented  ·   ·  Report

    I know everything is ad based these days but Please make the AD box to the right smaller, or put somewhere else. Not the whole right side on the mailbox. Is there a way to open emails in another window? Yes I can scroll over to fully read a email , but I rather open a new window or minimize the ad box.

  • Michele Tobias commented  ·   ·  Report

    I understand the need for ads, but the panel with the ads is so wide that I cannot read my email. If this continues, I will need to find a new mail service. Please make the ad panel a reasonable size.

  • Francis Nasser commented  ·   ·  Report

    I just want to see my emails listed when I open the inbox. How do I hide the starred and contact box and retrieve it when I want it?
