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. Restore the left-sidebar list of linked mailboxes

    Please restore the left-sidebar list of linked mailboxes. I manage 14 accounts, and the new flyout takes extra clicks every time I switch or look to see if there is new mail in them.

  2. Reading Pane

    The reading pane is too small. The fourth column (the last one on the right) the one that houses the starred items, contacts and settings is too wide. It would be nice to be able to collapse the last column on the right.

  3. Increas Speed

    Since I was forced onto the new mail the speed has been horrible. When I delete a message it takes several seconds for it to be gone while on the old mail it was deleted immediately. Also while scanning messages new messages come in slowly and make it difficult to navigate through the inbox. This "upgrade" so far is a disaster from my viewpoint. I am seriously considering getting off my premium yahoo mail if things don't improve.

  4. List of email accounts

    I need to have my list of email accounts permanently shown in the left navigation bar, as it was before the update. Them being hidden below behind my name does not work for me.

  5. Move menu option back to main menu bar

    Having the Move option in an expanded menu to get to is not efficient. I put emails in folders and it's not as easy to get to. I liked it before when it was available as one of the primary items.

  6. Navigation

    Do not have the option to star and email on the far right, when the star appears on the left next to subject. That isn't useful. Put the star where its going to be so that they user can toggle it on/off by hovering over it. It doesn't make sense that it was moved.

  8. RP Needs

    1. It would be best to give me the option to close the right hand column to have a larger preview panel. .
    2. I need to adjust the first column the Folder column to see more of the folder/sub folder names.

  9. I miss and need the unread emails to be marked with the Bright Red Dot.

    I miss and need the unread emails to be marked with the Bright Red Dot. Please allow us to choose when and what, we have changed to our "Personal" email accounts. It's ours, not yours. Stop being so pushy and insensitive with how our accounts look and work. If you think it's an improvement, give us a promotional presentation, and then, allow us to click on it to temporarily try it, and easily, revert back if we don't care for it. Many of us are older, and changing the look can make it harder to see, and use. We're already…

  11. Bring tabs back.

    I am constantly searching for the same email again when I need to get back to it. It was much better to have tabs for open emails.

  12. Please Restore the Permanent Display of Linked Mailboxes

    Dear Yahoo Mail Team,

    I'm very disappointed with the recent Yahoo Mail redesign.

    I manage five email accounts, and the previous layout allowed me to see all five mailboxes and their unread email counts at a glance. Now, I have to hover over the currently selected mailbox just to see the others, and the unread indicators are tiny and easy to miss.

    This is a significant step backwards in usability. The previous layout was clear, convenient and efficient, whereas the new design makes checking multiple accounts unnecessarily difficult.

    Please consider restoring the option to display all linked mailboxes permanently in…

  13. Restore the Ability to BLOCK Spam Senders

    Restore the Ability to BLOCK Spam Senders

    Under the previous version of Email, one could select to Block Spam emails, before Deleting them. In New Email that Option is Gone! One as now Manually Update the Blocked Senders List.

    This morning I found 8 Emails in my Spam Folder. I could no longer to a Bulk Add to the Block Senders List. Instead, my only option is to Permanently Delete. The amount of Daily Spam is Increasing, so I really need the Ability to Block Spammers, as I can get as much as 20 Spams in a Day.

  14. expand view of subfolders from the sidebar

    Provide customization view of sidebar, same as previous version. The expanded view of subfolders from the sidebar is very helpful to know when an email has been received.

  15. emails by age

    i miss that in classic, which needed no improvement and the new look sucks, there was a section showing how old my emails were. now it's just a boring list and i can't tell how old they are, from last week, two weeks ago, older than that? it used to show that in classic but you over simplified it for yourself making it harder for me to determine how old my emails are. i guess you had to do some cost cutting and took that out. like i've said in other comments, i'll be looking for a new provider, maybe…

  16. Cleaner formatting

    I don't want big bubbly shapes. I don't want my tabs shoved at the top of the screen. The new version feels bloated and unpleasant. I have stuck with the old Yahoo Mail format for years for a reason.

  17. Keep folders visible always

    Allow us to keep our folders open all the time. I use folders all the time to keep myself organised. I have tried using only the archive and searching, but it didn't work for me.

  18. Delete the icon floating tips

    Delete the icon floating tips. 1) they hang around which is a bug e.g. they appear and if you move your focus they tip still shows and is now in the way of reading the subject; 2) the tip adds no value. Everyone knows star is star; trash can is delete; and envelope is unread; file folder is move - ah maybe some don't get it that. These shortcuts should be in order of most use. Archive, Delete, Move, Star and then the rest under MORE.

  20. Show mailboxes
