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.

Photos View - We added it to the sorting drop down in the top, right hand side of your Inbox. Click on that icon, and you'll see "More Filters" at the bottom, from there you can filter by Attachments and Photos in emails.

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
Unread Count - You can hover over "Inbox" to see the Unread count or you can expand the left hand column and Unread will be in the column below Inbox with the unread count. No hovering.



COMING SOON!
Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon!

Unsubscribe Button in Subject Line - We are moving it out of the way!



**Please do NOT post about Account, Password, Login issues here. It will be deleted. Please go to help.yahoo.com.




Thank you! 💜

  1. I REALLY need a compact view!

    I don't like this new look very much at all, but I might be able to get used to it if I can have a compact view. Some themes or colors would be nice too.

    Hi there, thank you for submitting feedback! We pushed the new layout a while ago and have been slowly migrating users. The migration is almost complete.


    We see a lot of 'Compact View' feedback so we wanted to gather more feedback!


    When looking at your Inbox, we have in the top, right hand side, the sorting icon. From there you can change the Inbox Spacing to: Small, Medium, Large. (Screenshot provided). Same under More > Settings > Appearance (Screenshot provided)


    So our question to you:

    1. Are you not seeing these Settings/Choices?
    2. You DO see them, but you want it even more Compact? How compact is our question?

    Thanks for your help!!

  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. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. when I'm Staring email, I want to be able to star it in the same column that I unstar

    in the main email page when I want to star an email I have to move to the right hand side to star and email, but the icon for the star is on the left of the description.

  7. Restore option to group emails by time period.

    In the old Yahoo Mail layout, a list of emails would be separated into time periods. For example 2025, 2026, last month, last week etc. This was very useful for looking through a large number of emails.

    Without this separation a long list can be difficult to look at, just like a page of text without paragraphs is harder to read.

    So in the settings, let's have an option to turn this back on.

  8. Too many spam emails!

    I have seen so many spam emails kept on getting into my email box. What has Yahoo done to prevent it? I have a paid subscription but the experience is not good with seeing so many apparent junk mails. I work in Machine Learning field and spam detection is not a new technology. Comparing to Google, Yahoo is not doing well to keep our mailbox clean. Please invest in spam detection otherwise you will lose customers.

  9. Let me go back to the old version. Using the term "revert back" is improper English. It's redundant and you should know better/

    Your "new" Yahoo Mail SUCKS! Did you EVER ask the users what they wanted. NO! You are typical arrogant programmers and analysts. Just another reason to switch to gMail.

    ARE YOU LISTENING?

  10. STOP the ridiculous popups that show up when I open an email from someone. Why do you feel the need to suggest during my private emails?

    STOP with your ridiculous suggestion popups during my private emails. Who is the moron that come up with this latest yahoo "improvement" and who in the **** wants it? Do you dolts sit around a table and come up with this garbage or is it just one peron? GET RID OF IT! I do not want to see your **** suggestions while reading my emails. Good grief.

  12. Tell people how to fix it when Yahoo Mail Mixes Up My Two Email Accounts

    I have two separate Yahoo email accounts: one for my personal email and one for my volunteer activities.
    Until recently, both accounts worked perfectly on my computers. Within the past week or so, Yahoo began automatically opening my volunteer email account instead of my personal account, even though I’d logged out of the volunteer account and logged into my personal account. And I couldn’t figure out how to access my personal email.
    This problem occurred in multiple browsers on both my HP Windows laptop and desktop computer.
    I signed out of all accounts, but the problem continued. I even installed…

  13. Inbox too busy

    The new inbox is too busy with the icons next to the sender's name. Give us an option to remove those and just have the words. Also, it's harder to tell what is unread, the bolding isn't enough.
    Not everyone wants fancy and images, please restore a more basic inbox.

  15. Placement of the action buttons/icons should be consistent

    The placement of the action buttons should be consistent. When one email is being viewed, the mark as unread button and the move button are in that order, but when multiple emails are selected, the move button is before the mark as unread button. These action options should be in the same order regardless of which view one is in.

  17. Disposable addresses: Currently no sort order, options or search

    For us long time paid subscribers of Yahoo Mail Plus, I have hundreds of disposable addresses 387 of 500. With new Yahoo Mail you have made managing these disposables even more difficult when you removed the option display name when sending an email, bring it back so it displays with its email address and description. Sort order, there is NONE, Please at least by default sort them by email address A-Z. Later on build in a sort menu to allow us to sort by display name. Very helpful would be a search bar to be used within disposable email addresses.…

  18. Preview pane needs to be larger and font size adjusted

    Preview pane needs to be larger and font size adjustments allowed. Right now the advertising pane takes up too much space (area between the preview pane and ad window and edge of screen should be removed. The preview pane does not show the entire email (or it should auto adjust for the screen size). Basic stuff here that should have been addressed before roll out

  19. Bring back compact view immediately! This version is useless!

    You took away the most used feature. No one needs half their screen to be blank space. This is the worst version of Yahoo mail in the 30 years I've been using it.

  20. Make it customizable!

    Find Navigation bar pretty useless, would like to decide what options are available, and not have to scroll down to see account name(s).. Have to go to "More" to show unread mail. Have to have 4 tabs open to see 4 accounts and if there are messages.
    If I don't use Folders or Storage, why can't I delete them from the list.
    NOT happy at all with new layout.
