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! 💜

  2. Feedback on the New Yahoo Mail Interface

    The new interface is less practical than the previous one in several ways.

    First, the email side panel is too large and takes up valuable screen space. I would prefer a wider email list displaying the full subject line and a short message preview, allowing me to see more emails at once and navigate my inbox more easily.

    Second, switching between email accounts has become less convenient. Previously, my email addresses were displayed at the top of the left-hand menu, making them easy to access. Now they are at the bottom, and not all accounts are visible.

    Judging by comments…

  4. Create Filters Easily from Inbox

    Before this awful "new Yahoo mail", it was easy to create filters from the inbox. Now you have to go into settings and type in a million fields to create one. Please bring back the method to create a filter from an email in the inbox.

  5. Input screen size

    You set the bloody page too large. It does not fit my screen Why do you have to change the **** all the time? I have to use the smallest character setting and even this way the page is too large. I need magifyer to red it. The top email identification comes down to the middle of the scree and I can't pus it up. Are employing EDI employees? Smarten up!

  6. Show all email addresses

    With the old Yahoo email I could see at a glance whether any of my four email addresses had unread messages.

    The new Yahoo mail only shows one email address at a time and I have to move the mouse cursor over the current email address to pull up a menu to see the other addresses. Even when I do pull up the menu it doesn't show which email addresses have unread messages. This is a real step backward for the user interface.

    The currently selected email address is also in a bad location at the bottom of the window.…

  7. WHY THE **** IS IT SO HARD TO SWITCH ACCOUNT MAILBOXES NOW???

    Seriously? Before it was highlight your damned profile icon, then click the other account that showed up. Now it's forced under must click icon, scroll down, click swap, click next bloody account. WHY????? There's a reason people don't use windows 11, and you've just gone and taken one of the most used things by people who have more than one mailbox and added extra steps, and on top of that forced to do security each time already!

  8. improve the contrast and visual appearance to make it more legible, decrease the percentag of screen area dominated by ads

    improve the contrast from light grey text on an off-white background and the actual text font to make it legible - this is very difficult to see and read.

    with the entire right half of the screen ad banner and the ad banner across the top it really leaves no room for actually reading emails

    You should add a sort function to the sent mail folder, similar to what is on the inbox folder.

  10. Date divider

    Please add date dividers like there was on the old email starting on the left side. Visually, it was faster to know when emails came through on separate dates, now we have to go and look at each individual email and which date it came on.

  11. Remove third/fourth tab (calendar, starred, contacts etc)

    I have no need to view the third/fourth tab that has calendar, contacts, starred links - so it uselessly takes up a good chunk of my laptop's screen. I want it gone and I cannot see any option to remove it from my screen.

  15. I have a 30" monitor, and have to scroll the email side to side

    Please, at least make it wide enough so I don't have to scroll side to side to see an email.
    This is annoying enough, if not fixed I'll base everything in gmail ... I don't mind new things, so long as they are improvements. This is not that.
    All you'd have to do is make the menu on the left collapse/uncollapseable so we can see one or the other in full.

  16. Moving email from inbox to folders

    Using Brave on MacOS Sequoia 15.7 (if it matters). Please bring back the keyboard shortcuts to move email from inbox (or current folder) to folder. Shift+d ("D") should bring up the folder list with the cursor in the the search bar. "d" should bring up the folder list with the number of the folder, e.g., d then 2 for the second folder in list.

    Without this feature, I'm going back to classic.

  18. fix this bug

    Looking at a big inbox... you want to quickly select a bunch of messages (easy) and mark them all read (also easy), but then, you want to move on, and select a bunch more. In the old UI, after marking messages as read, they were deselected, so it was easy to move on to the next set. Now, the messages remain selected, so to not consider them again, you have to either unmark them all (a PITA), or select all, and deselect all using the 'all' marker at the top of the column (also a PITA). IMHO, this is a…

  19. Fix crash loop on new interface when hovering over order confirmations

    My account was updated to the new Yahoo Mail interface. There is a critical rendering crash on the main inbox page. Every time my mouse cursor hovers over an online order confirmation email in my list, the entire inbox crashes instantly and redirects to the purple error screen stating "Yahoo Mail has encountered a problem."

    This happens even in Incognito mode, but the same email opens perfectly fine on the Yahoo Mail mobile app. The issue is tied to how the new desktop web interface pre-fetches the automated code layout of order receipts on mouse hover. Please implement error handling…

  20. Enable keyboard arrow scrolling within emails

    At the moment, attempting to scroll using laptop keyboard arrows only scrolls between messages. It's impossible to scroll within messages even when clicking within the email text, which works in other email programs. This is very frustrating.
