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.

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. Stop putting the ads in the middle of emails so when you selete one the ad get clicked and opens

    Stop putting the ads in the middle of emails so when you delete an email the ad inadvertently gets clicked and opens

    You can no longer start at the top you really need to start at the bottom

    IT WASTES HOURS OF TIME AVOIDING THE AD and most of them are scams my computer has been locked down from just clicking on an ad that said I had 2 emails

    I thought it was part of your new features, and it would of cost me hundreds of dollars, but I realized it was a scam and called my friend and…

  3. Left it like it was!

    Why can't y'all leave things that work alone, instead of changing things around! This is much more difficult to get to things! Why can't you let those of us that like it the way it was stay on the other format?

  4. Highlight unread emails

    I already submitted this but forgot to mention that Gmail does this. Please don't just put a little 'dot' before an unread email, but also please, please highlight any emails that are not read.

  5. Please highlight in bold messages that are not read

    Pretty simple. Yes, there are "dots" in front of messages that are not read, but other than that, they all look the same even the read messages. Can you please have unread messages in bold type as well as the "dots" so they are easier to distinguish? Thank you!!!

  6. Keep "Select All" option for inbox always visable.

    I cannot understand the reasoning why this basic feature was done away with. This is the reason I switched back to Basic Yahoo Mail. Now in order to select all of my emails I have to click the box next to an email to access the option for "select all" emails to be available. This has added an extra click/interaction cost that is absolutely unnecessary and has actively worsened the usability of Yahoo Mail. Please update this to allow this option to always be available.

  7. Stop pretending your AI knows how to sort my mail

    Please stop pretending your AI knows how to sort primary mail, offers, social, etc. It's really bad at it, and it just annoys me to have to keep switching to All mail every single time so I don't miss the things that actually matter. And stop requiring access to my profile just to pass along feedback.
    Thanks.

  8. Get spam filters working

    I’ve received 10 sexually explicit emails in my inbox, not in my spam folder. I’ve labeled these spam for the last week. No change. Please help, or I will need to delete Yahoo Mail
    And move to a non-pornagraphic new email.

  9. broken spam filter

    When you switched to the new email format, you started sending critical messages to spam. That never happened before, so I didn't notice until it was too late. As a result, I received an auto-ship order that I would have cancelled if I had seen the messages they sent me. Therefore YAHOO OWES ME $65 !!! Please contact me for payment details.

    P.S. Yahoo has the worst spam filters of any email service, and I use several of them. You should not be trying to distinguish between All and Primary emails because you get it all wrong.

  10. Breaks between Months in Inbox

    We used to have a demarcation between months....so wish that was back. So wish we had options of making different colors in inbox as well. Now it is really cumbersome...used to be so easy.

  11. Greying out read messages

    I dislike how cluttered the inbox looks, simply having the subject of the email BOLD doesn't call out emails enough to see what is and isn't read due to the fact that you are BOLDING Ads in the middle of the inbox. This will kill how much people use yahoo going forward.

  14. Mailbox

    I really dislike that we have no number next to the inbox, trash, spam. I do not like how you have to go on the inbox, trash or spam to know how many emails are in there.

    I also dislike that there is no color and everything is white. The frames need to be in color

    email2

  17. Date Dividers

    Please give back the "date dividers" in the in-box. It helps to stay organized and sort through emails when I need to go back and find something that I have received.

  20. Improve the new Yahoo mail UX

    I have been a loyal Yahoo Mail user for over 27 years, and I am extremely disappointed with the new design. The new layout is much more difficult to navigate and less user-friendly than the previous version.

    The Inbox and the email reading pane are far too small, largely because so much screen space is wasted by excessive spacing at the top. As a result, the actual reading area is unnecessarily restricted, making it difficult to read emails comfortably and efficiently.

    The primary purpose of an email service is to make reading, managing, and responding to emails easy. The new…
