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.

*Those asking about going back to the old version. Unfortunately, if you do not see the "Go Back" button you cannot go back. We really hope you'll try the new experience! Thanks!



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!

  4. Improve spam filters instead of adding other garbage

    I only use my Yahoo email address for websites I don't fully trust (marketing/newsletters/loyalty programs), so about 75% of my daily email is spam from third-party companies, data breach email lists, etc. I don't mean junk I subscribed to, I mean "your cloud account is suspended", "get your free dewalt tool likt", etc. spam. I don't go a day without having to mark at least one email, usually more, as spam instead of being filtered.

    If you really want people to use your product more, work on better spam filtering instead of newer layouts and the "inbox cleanup challenge" garbage.…

  5. Improve spam detection

    I have received over 2,000 spam emails in the last year and a half, a problem I don't have with my other inboxes. I am starting to think that you sold my data.

  6. Make e-mail summaries at the top of the email optional! They delay me, wasting my time, and are not dependable. I HATE THEM!!!

    I want to get rid of the summaries that appear at the top of each email. Some people may like them. I HATE THEM! At least give us the option of getting rid of them.

  7. Less Spam

    I've gotten way more spam in the last few months. I don't want to leave this account behind, but if 95% of my emails in my inbox are spam, there's a point where managing becomes not worth it.

    If you're having account or sign-in issues, please contact our Customer Care team at help.yahoo.com. They are separate from the Yahoo Mail team. They resolve these types of issues and have the tools to help. Hope this helps. Thanks!

  10. Allow the user to select fixed sorting priorities instead of Yahoo arbitrarily changing the setting.

    Allow me to permanently select "All" as the filter for emails. You FORCE the selection to "Priority" without my input thereby causing me to not see new emails in a timely manner. I AM TIRED OF HAVING TO MAKE THIS REQUEST.

  12. "All" needs to be the default folder view of Yahoo Mail

    How can I make "All" my default box? Hate this new tool forced onto me ... just like I hated the new Yahoo.Finance forced onto me. For the life of me I cannot understand why Yahoo developers are forcing inferior products onto its consumer base. Just makes NO sense, at all. Unless, of course, the aim is to drive them off the platform.

  13. Why am I not getting all of my emails from my Cox email account?

    As of a few days ago (that I noticed) I am not receiving all of my emails on my desktop from my Cox email address. This is concerning as I get some very important emails that I only know that I am not getting here is because I do get them on my phone. It is important that I be able to access these emails because I need to attach items from my desktop in my responses.

  14. Email Summary, Why?

    Not sure if this belongs in Priority Inbox, but what's the point in an email summary? I can see the email right there and can read it. Priority Inbox? Now I have to trust that your AI isn't going to hide an important email from me? I think not.

  15. Simplify format and viewing options.

    This format is terrible. Multiple inboxes and the inability to easily sort be sender is terrible. It's like gMail but worse.

  16. primary

    I want the option of which category to pick for my email account to open to. I don't want Primary. I want ALL. If i want to filter down, that is great. But I don't want to have to remember to click thru other categories to see any email. I don't have that many and I don't want category dictated to me.

  17. Remove Yahoo Scout

    I received an email that said my son was dead because your AI is so flawed!! Imagine getting an email from your childs school and the giant headline is your childs name passing and describing how they trragically passed away! This is not acceptable. My wife was hysterical,This is not OK!!
    It was an email from the school about a student that passed away and it was regarding my son because he was in the same class and that is what Yahoo Scout created.

  19. Why do I have to select ALL?

    Why do I have to select ALL in my inbox to view all of my new e-mails?
    I do NOT want Yahoo to just show me what IT DETERMINES is MY PRIORITY emails.
    I WANT TO SEE ALL OF THE NEW E,MAILS AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECT ALL !!!!
    This is a TERRIBLE feature of the new Yahoo email.

    HOW DO I UNDO THIS!?! PLEASE?

  20. All messages default; trash can icon for multiple delete option

    I want to default to the "all" setting for the inbox, not the "primary" setting. I know what's a primary email, and AI doesn't. How do I do that?

    Why isn't there a trash can icon for deleting multiple selected email messages at the same time?
