Welcome. How can we improve the New Yahoo Mail?

← New Yahoo Mail

Make "Unread" a visible menu option, more accessible

Make "Unread" a visible menu option, without having to click into a submenu. Ideally, allow customization of the default menu options that are visible.

    Please bring back "Unread" folders or move the unread selection link out from the bottom/settings list. Its buried and is a useful filter to quick go through your inbox.

    I cannot locate the function for "mark as unread" function. I often read to prioritize my activity for the day and then put it back to "unread" to deal with later in the dty. But I cannot locate the function since this upgrade.

    How do I put the unread button visible in the side bar not buried in the ...

  • Neeraj Kamboj commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please provide a Shortcut for "Unread" emails in the LHS navigation panel. It is very frequently used.
    Also shortcuts for "starred" and "unread" messages it in the app top bar in the iPhone mobile app.
    You can delete the shortcuts for offers and "other 50" - they are useless, or at least give an option to customize.

    I REALLY HATE the Unread menu option. I liked when it was combined with the Inbox. It is so annoying and makes me not want to use Yahoo Mail anymore. Can this be fixed or allowed to be changed by the user? I fully support this recommendation by Jonathan Kendall.

    Just go back to the previous version. Nothing else matters. We like Yahoo, not this Gmail clone you've made.

    Make "UNREAD" visible in main MENU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • Maria Bolanos commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please revert to the previous version. If some users prefer the new graphic, they should have the option to use it, but the current design is too harsh on the eyes. The new color graphic read / unread options are difficult to read and follow. Additionally, when switching to Classic View, the design feels overly traditional.

    100% the unread folder have to be in the main menu all the time and the blue dot should not go away. Why would you make your users make more clicks to get to previously existing functionality?!?! SILLY! The blue dot was so simple and convenient!

  • Brian Dula commented  ·   ·  Report

    There is a theme here. Yahoo, please put most of the options on the left-hand side without having to dig deeper to go to sub-menu options (Unread, Spam, Etc.)

  • Ivan M. commented  ·   ·  Report

    Bring the blue dot back, please. Why would you remove such a convenient feature in the first place?

  • Hope Shattuck commented  ·   ·  Report

    You can go back to classic version by going to the three dots look like this ... it's under folders locate settings scroll down until you locate switch to basic email and click on it takes you to the classic version. You can also sort by oldest to newest or newest to oldest in Inbox, Spam, Trash folders, etc. Hope this helps.

    i was actually trying to find this in the settings but it looks like you ********* again yahoo. already ppl wanna go to google mail so make it more like we were used to and fix it. i keep trying to go back to the old version of yahoo mail everytime you make me go to the new version that i never asked for!!! and i cannot now. so i was trying to customize it back as close to what i had and i cannot for some things. i have autism and i have my favs and it throws off my things that i got used to and im ****** about it. please put the unread menu under the inbox not in a sub folder. why did you think that was a super idea when everyone is telling you that idea is puke.

    Please bring the blue dot back. This post appears to be about how hard/easy it is to change a message status to "read" or "unread." One commenter asked for the blue dot to be reinstated. I agree with this. The blue dot in the former version appeared on each email in the list and made it easy to switch between marking a message "read" or "unread." Now it takes three steps to change "read" status: (1) select the message, (2) right click, (3) select "read" or "unread" from the menu. The alternative of clicking "mark as read" at the top of the actual message is even worse.

    This is just horrible! Removing the unread messages tab and getting rid of the arrows to scroll through messages in the inbox in classic webmail is a dealbreaker for me. It's time to retire this 20 year old email.

    Bring back the "blue dot" that has been replaced with badges icon for senders. That blue dot was a mighty little feature. Thank you!
