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!

  2. Filter Email

    Please allow the option to auto filter the whole inbox after selecting the options to filter messages like this.
    This is still confusing in yahoo classic mode.
    Microsoft team allows this to filter all emails in the inbox after making the selection - yahoo does not.

  3. Dark mode is not dark. The entire screen should be enabled to dark background with light lettering.

    I was excited for the "dark mode" I use this with my work and other group email platforms. Unfortunately Yahoo's dark mode only changes everything but what is most important, the messages. While reading long emails the white background makes it difficult to read and ultimately for longer emails, I have to copy the text and paste into a document with actual dark mode to not get a headache from the stark white background. I do enjoy my yahoo mail which I have had since yahoo came about. With this major flaw paying for Yahoo premium for something other email…

  4. Unread Selection on the new mail is not working

    The “Mark as Unread” option in the new mail interface is not functioning as expected. The change is neither reflected in the inbox view nor reopening the application.

  5. Yahoo mail isn't working

  6. In order to sort mail, do you open my mail or just go by the sender address?

    Can you do a mock up of the new Yahoo? I tried one before and was very happy to be able to go back. Is the new one required? In order to sort mail, do you open my mail or just go by the sender address? If the sender is in my contacts is their mail still categorized?

  7. Undo the new changes highlighting every email.

    The small dots for unread emails is unrealistic. The old format was fine. It is impossible to see what emails are active and up to date versus emails that need attention. As a business my email impacts my livelihood and this is a great inconvenience to my day to day life.

  8. Prevent repeated failed logins by locking account

    I have a person or persons attempting to gain access to my yahoo account every 10 minutes. I suggest if a device does this it should be locked out from attempts for some period of time. I ha e denied them access literally over 200 times this week already. Its impossibly annoying to get requests every few minutes. Your security seems laking. I have 2FA and a random password. But if a device tried and is denied. Why not ban the device for 24hrs or something after 3 attempts or something like that.

  9. Message spacing

    There should be an option for massage spacing in the list view.
    The current view has the messages too widely spaced.

  10. GUI Update is less functional and limits preview space for email

    The new gui view that adds a random bubble to the left hand side is invading my mail space making it harder to read my mail in preview mode. this makes me want to abandon Yahoo completely. I had relegated this to a working email but the new GUI seems to be designed to limit functional usage in favor of advertising; but i have to point out that i boycott all advertisers you present. Yahoo is one of my oldest emails but i have no sentimental attachments to this email add will abandon it if it continues to deteriorate its…

  11. Priority

    When all mail tab is selected the Priority label on all the Priority mail covers part of the subject line in the list of mail, a smaller circle with just a P in in it I believe would be better to not interfere with reading the subject titles.

    Not real important but it does look sloppy.

    Thanks - Paul

  14. Option to run filter on SPAM folder

    1. I am getting too much spam mails. while I setup a filter based on trend seen on the spam mails, but filter is not working. Here the filter is setup based on email id and not on sender display name.

    2. When i use block sender, provide the feature to identify the trend on blocked senders email id and yahoo should block them all. (sample email id trend 550355955@nodekwn.twjys233.com, 550355955@node20g.redlinecircuits.com, 550355955@lbox.damnserver.com)

  15. Show folders more clearly.

    When I move an email, it does not go out of the inbox. It stays in the inbox woth a notation as to where a copy was sent. This is crazy and ineffective.

  17. colour fonts are very dull

    Colour fonts are very dull, and it is difficult to distinguish between read and unread messages. They need to focus more on the read messages.

  18. Fix Spam Filters!

    Every day, I have to mark emails from my union, the NTEU as NOT SPAM! Every day, I get phishing emails not from who they claim to be that purport to offer something free, but want me to give information. You spam filters do not work at all.

  19. Better mouse management on hover/activation on deleting emails.

    Most people do not want to use the select boxes and then click delete. People want to hover their mouse over the delete button, read the email subject and click delete and repeat this action. This works great in Gmail but in your system, when you hover over delete and click (mail is deleted), the new mail row doesnt activate the delete icon and you have to move your mouse to another email record and then hover back over. Makes things very tedious when you are quickly cleaning up your mailbox

  20. Slow Emails

    Since migrating from Comcast, I noticed that emails are slow to get to my inbox. When a code is sent to my email, it expires by the time it gets there and is taking as long as an hour. How do I fix this as I'm not able to use my email to access other items. Thanks!
