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. 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.

  2. Change Navigation back to what actually worked.

    Why have you made mail navigation such a mess? Can't move mail from Spam into Inbox if I recognize it. Moved the Star to under More and I have to check mark the email to get to it so now it is a three step process- why? Change for the sake of change is NOT PROGRESS or HELPFUL!!!!

  3. Completely unacceptable

    The most basic function provided by Yahoo beyond its excellent search engine has been botched Slow, slow, slow, and opening, deleting emails, replying takes forever. Sending links that rarely go through, and no way to preview them. At the very least provide a way to opt back.

  4. Folder search filter

    Allow me to search mails by sender/text/attachment AND by folder. I've been using yahoo for both my yahoo and gmail inbox becuase it was better. Now it has worse search, and is more cluttered, worse responsivnes and feels slower and bulkier.

  5. Placement of spam and trash icons

    As I scroll through my emails to delete them, the trash icon and the spam icon move to the side, depending on the other icons hiding or showing (reply and forward icons don't always show on every email). So as I'm clicking the trash icon, my cursor is in the same place - as it should be when performing repetitive functions - sometimes the spam icon ends up under my cursor where I assumed the trash icon was. So what ends up happening is I inadvertently mark emails as spam. It happens every day and I'm sure other people have…

  6. Yahoo mail tab in chrome

    The new version of Yahoo mail displays a count of unread messages in the chrome tab. This count seems to include unread messages in Trash. It should only count the number of unread messages in the Inbox.

  7. Fix the space for the multitasking tabs to prevent the entire mailbox from constantly shifting up and down.

    Greetings.

    I suggest that the multitasking tabs be given the space they need as a permanent section. It is perfectly fine if this space occasionally appears as an empty row within the overall layout; simply increasing the existing space slightly and making it fixed would suffice. This would prevent the entire mailbox constantly shifting up or down whenever multiple emails are opened or closed—it makes for a truly poor user experience.

    I have been using Yahoo for a very long time—over twenty years—but this latest update is causing me a lot of trouble; please fix this. Thank you.

  8. Folder pinning

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

  9. Compact view was better and the calendar being on the same window

    Subject: Request to Restore Classic Yahoo Mail

    Dear Yahoo Support Team,

    I have been using Yahoo Mail for many years, and my account was recently switched to the new design.

    I am very disappointed with this change and would sincerely appreciate the option to return to the previous Classic Yahoo Mail layout.

    The new interface has much larger spacing between emails, making it difficult to view as many messages at once.

    Additionally, the calendar now opens in a separate browser tab instead of being integrated into the same window as my emails, which makes it less convenient to use.

    The…

    Hi Mercy, thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately, there is no reverting back. It's been almost 2 years of migrating everyone to the new design and that time is come to force the last of you guys. Very sorry!


    You mentioned the "Compact" view or the spacing. We actually have a way to make the space between emails tighter. Are you not seeing these?


    One is in the top, right hand side of your Inbox. There's a icon that is essentially the "sorting Icon" and from there you get: Small, Medium and Large. (Screenshot included) and then under your Settings > Appearance you'll see the same.



  10. Links to other yahoo services

    You used to have links to other yahoo services at the very top of the email page. The one I used a lot was to Yahoo Finance. Now it's gone. Can you bring these links back?

  11. Compact view feedback

    You're asking for feedback on this issue: https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/962180-new-yahoo-mail/suggestions/51860070-i-really-need-a-compact-view but I'm unable to add a reply??
    Anyway, I do not see the compact option shown in the screenshots, either in the filter dialog, nor in the settings.. I tried both in Firefox and Edge.
    (sorry unable to attach a screenshot of my own)

    Thank you for submitting feedback. We really appreciate it. You can certainly send us screenshots of what spacing you are seeing in your Inbox and your Settings from the sorting option. Please send to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. We'd really appreciate the help. Thank you!

  12. Bring Bac Move in E-mail

    Please give us back the "Move" function on the email screen. The new drag-and-drop method takes me much longer. It was simple to just select " Move " from inside an email and then select the folder. I don't like the new method at all. Now, you have to exit the email, find the folder I want to move it to, then find the email again, then drag and drop it. I don't like this at all. Keep this method for those who have all day to deal with email, but restore the button for those of us who have…

    Can you send us a screen recording of how you're moving an email? We didn't change this functionality and we are moving emails just fine... from the "Move" icon and dragging n dropping. You can send this to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Thanks!

  14. Show more emails on one page. STOP the double spacing.

    Absolutely appalling. I used to be able to see almost 20 or more emails on one page. The double spacing in new Yahoo means only about 5 or 6 emails appear on one page. This is ABSOLUTELY USELESS. If this is not fixed, I am going to change to Outlook or Gmail. I get over 50 newsletters a day on Yahoo. I am completely unable to use this new version.

    Thanks for the feedback!


    We do have settings in place for Compact view. You can see them by tapping on the sorting icon, in the top right hand side of your Inbox. (Screenshot provide).

    You can also see these Settings under your main Settings page. More > Settings > Appearance.

    (Screenshot provided)


    Do you not see them or see them, but want it more compact?

  15. Post a solution that doesn't exist

    Your website says "Sort By Sender - This is still a sorting option, but you must disable Conversation view under your Settings. Then you will see "Sender name" There is no Conversation item listed in my Settings. Why do you post something like this that does not exist?

  17. Restore the sort by alphabetical order

    One of the features I liked about Yahoo mail that Chrome didn't have was the possibility of sorting email messages by alphabetical order of senders. That made it much easier to delete blocks of messages when they have accumulated by the thousands. Now I am back to clicking each box individually because messages (the ones I want to keep and the ones I want to delete) are mixed by dates.

  18. Bring back the paragraph tab button

    bring back a one touch paragraph button. The 1 which is supposed to be it only advances the cursor 1 space & shows up as ] in the email. How is that the same as hitting the tab button in classic yahoo & having it advance cleanly 5 spaces???

  19. show connected mailboxes at the top of the list, as before

    position mailboxes at the top of the menu, its really useful being able to see all accounts across a range of providers, and having them much more visible would improve usability.
    Also, be able to re-arrange them in a preferred order, and to have the 'unread' indicator visible would be much better
