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! 💜

  1. My previous complaint was for PC version only

    I made a list of complaints and suggested fixes and it should be noted those were for PC use only. The phone is good enough layout..it just doesnt translate well for PC.

    Why do i have to wait 10 seconds for the Trash or Spam to empty before it actually empties???

  5. having the option of selecting "From"

    I would like an option to select From in the inbox, I have a lot of emails that I have to continuously scroll though. if there was an option of selecting From, then I could see all the emails from that sender. that would be greatly helpful.

  6. Remove the hover to expand in folders

    Remove or give the option to turn off the hover to expand folders option in folders. I have certain folders I need to stay collapsed until I purposefully expand them. These sub folders are not something I use or need to see 99% of the time. Please either turn this feature off or give me the option to turn it off.

  7. The side panel

    The side panel that shows starred messages needs to stay collapsed. I use starred messages in my folders for important information that I don't want anyone wandering into my work area to see. When I have collapsed the panel it needs to STAY COLLAPSED, not just collapsed for this session.

  8. sync better

    I sent two emails to myself they both ended up in the deleted folder. I never even had a chance to open them. Even on my iPhone I found them in trash. This new yahoo mail is terrible.

  9. Where is the sort on sender

    I've looked everywhere. Searched, watched videos and cannot find the sort on sender which is pretty much essential when you are getting 1000 junk emails a day.

  12. When I click on ALL emails. Keep it there.

    I don't want Yahoo deciding what's priority. How do they know what is a priority to me? Stop changing my settings. It's annoying and arrogant. I don't care about your wants.

  15. Combined inboxes

    It would be great to see all differend inboxex in the same place without a need to change it every time. I have several different e-mail addresses ad now I cannotsee theit inbox at one glance. Therefore I strongly suggest that a combined inxox would be gtreat asset to have and for sure it would atract more users to your service. Thanks for concidering!

  17. Updates are ****

    You should be giving your users the option to CHOOSE if they want your new inbox designs BEFORE you update instead of FORCING your updates on EVERYONE regardless of whether they want them or not.I DO NOT want this new **** that you forced on me. I want a simple mailbox that is an inbox and a spam folder and the folders I CHOOSE to make. Not, get in my inbox to find that I have 19 unread messages and only one of those is actually in my inbox. Then take ten minutes to figure out where to find the…

  19. Bring the 'mark unread' little dot back to the emails

    When you were in an email, you used to be able to mark that message unread. There was a little dot that would disappear after two seconds. I used that all of the time when I needed to come back to an email that I didn't have time to digest. Bring back our little dot! Please?

  20. Keep selected emails grayed out

    When you select multiple emails with a check mark, keep the selected ones grayed out so they look separate from the unselected ones. Also, find a way to make unread emails look bolder compared to read ones. This new design is more confusing and harder to navigate because there's not enough contrast.
