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!

  1. Make the unsubscribe button on the emails smaller, or different location

    I keep hitting it when I just want to open or move an email, and I am on a laptop, not even a phone

  2. Turn off infinite scrolling

    Or at least give me the option. I don't want to have to select one email at a time or hundreds if I want to delete multiple emails.

  3. Re-arranging accounts

    In the past, before you changed the platform, I was able to re-arrange my accounts on the left side menu. I can't do that in the Classic or New platform. I do not like the changes at all. I'm currently in the Classic because I hated the new Platform. But you still made some changes to the Classic. Why did you remove being able to rearrange accounts?

  4. Accommodation for people with disabilities

    Many people use the basic / classic version because of disabilities. You've just ruined my entire day. There's too much white space with the version you've forced down my throat. I can't focus as well. This message: *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!" is ridiculous since it means that some people are continuing to use the old version. How do people like me who need the old interface get it back?

  5. Sort by Sender Not Working

    The new sort feature "by sender" is almost completely useless. It doesn't sort all the messages by the sender. Also, if I highlight a message and then do a shift-hold and click on the end of a string of emails I want to delete, the selection tool does not work — it selects a random set of emails, not the ones I wanted to select. The previous version worked so much better. Ugh.

  6. Move Unread Folder up on the left side bar or give us the option to customize our side bar.

    Move Unread Folder up on the left side bar or give us the option to customize our side bar. I use the unread tab every day to see what's new and mark my emails as "read" quickly. With the new design, the Unread folder is now hidden under the three dots and requires an extra click every time I'd like to navigate to it. If for some reason it doesn't make sense to move the unread box up for everyone, then let us customize our own side bars or restore the option to revert back to Classic Mail. Thanks!

  8. Folder pinning

    There needs to be a way to pin frequently used folders instead of burying them under a folder icon.

  9. Allow folders to be permanently expanded as a feature that user can set as default

  11. Revert Back to the Old UI

    The new yahoo mail is SUCH a downgrade. It's sterile, hard to read, and just an overall horrible interface. Yes there are tabs, but they can barely be seen. The buttons to move to folders or mark as unread are so difficult to utilize where there are no containers or shading. This is atrocious and the fact y'all removed the ability to revert back is horrid. I hate this and want to use any other mail systme now.

  12. Pleasse stop "improving:

    Yahoo mail was fine.....until recently. Now it has become difficult to use, requiring more clicks and confusing layout and menus. Please put it back the way it was, or at least offer the "classic" version to those who prefer it. If not, I will be searching for another platform, and that means informing ALL my contacts, etc. of the new email, which will be a nightmare.

  13. Revert to classic version

    The new interface, which was forced on me on all my computers, is absolutely unusable. I can only manage my yahoo account through my iPhone at this point. On my computers I cannot see a full email preview because the screen is divided into three quadrants vertically. I hate the gamifacation with "tasks" and "streaks" which is designed for children and not adults. I am investigating (1) how to use an email interface, like Thunderbird or some other option, to avoid using yahoo, and (2) transitioning my email to another service entirely. As soon as I can accomplish this, both…

    Please make the Left column "Folders" adjustable *like in the old version. Currently it is not adjustable and I can not see the folder names unless I hover over the folders... which takes too much time.

  15. make it so you can VIEW the folders on the left side of the screen - increase the contrast so the text is visible

    make it so you can actually view the folders on left side of screen, increase the CONTRAST so that the TEXT is VISIBLE - this light grey text on an off-white background is absolutely garbage and is not readable AT ALL

  19. Reduce Clicks and Save Time

    The default setting should be to land on "All" email. It's incredibly annoying to have to click on 'All" repeatedly to access your mail. Also incredibly annoying to have to hover over folders in order to find your folders. Why not have them visible like the old mail? The new mail adds so many more clicks it's bordering on unusable.

  20. right hand side panel

    This righthand side panel is quite annoying. Whilst it does have some potentially useful functionality, I don't use it and you can't collapse it give have more message real estate. Can this righthand panel be collapsible.
