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. Email select checkbox location over icon

    Please move the checkbox to select an email away from the sender icon. Your current setting may look more compact to you, but it is difficult to quickly assess which emails the user has checked for deletion with the purple checkbox when some of the sender icons are purple circles. Please move the checkboxes farther to the left so they are not coincident with the sender icons.

  3. Move email move/menu options back to top of email screen for all emails, not just when selecting individual emails.

    Move email move/menu options back to top of email screen for all emails, not just when selecting individual emails. All tools/options should be in the same place consistently, as users should not have to "hunt" for them to be able to use the common tools.

  4. turn off streaks

    Can we please have an option to turn off email "streaks?" I don't need you telling me that I've achieved a lot today. Do you think this is a fitness app or a video game, and I need encouragement? Why am I unlocking achievements just by reading my daily email? So tone deaf and a waste of space.

  5. Even your help is annoying.

    You've made switching between accounts a real hassle, (not what I really wanted to say about it) I don't know why you think what you've done to mail was a good idea, but it's definitely NOT an upgrade, just less functional, and more annoying.

  6. Disable search, return email folder hotkeys for moving emails.

    I don't need to search for folders when I want to move my emails when I hit D. I want to be able to hit D, then hit a number key corresponding with a folder so that I can quickly send emails to a folder.

    Maybe make this a toggle in settings.

  7. Folder names text wrapping

    The left folder panel on the desktop version is too narrow and locked. I cannot see the full names of my folders anymore - my only option has been to drastically decrease the viewing size of the entire page, and that does not fully resolve. Can the folder names text wrap instead of being truncated? Is there a way to increase the capability of the left panel expansion, decrease the reading panel, but with limitations. Can the left and middle panel negotiate space within a greater width without impacting the right panel being locked for advertisements? Thank you.

  8. Restore folders view on left side of inbox (all of them)

    For as long as I've had a Yahoo Email account (many years), I have had access to view all of my folders on the left side navigation bar. It is now gone. I'm no longer able to view all of my folders while working. Instead, I have to click on multiple dropdowns while trying to remember, or find, a given folder I'm looking for.

    This is laborious, tedious, and frustrating.

    Can the left navigation column once again restore all folders in view? I need to see all of my folders to be able to sort, find, and research, and I…

  9. Default Sort

    Why can't you save as a default sort to have the old messages appear first so you can view and respond to the new emails in chronological order? The app reverts to new emails first always. Seems odd that a simple sort cannot be saved as the default.

  10. Stop messing with the space that you view your emails in. I hate it. I can't adjust the area by dragging the bars or anything.

  11. Get rid of the colored icon's that have the initials of the persons sending the email's

    For a lot of people it's to busy to open your mail and see all of those colors on the left side showing the initial of the person or place . It makes everything else more confusing as this layout is already confusing. I don't understand why they have to do such drastic changes.

  12. While viewing message in list form, I'd like to be able to make the rows more densely packed

    You messed up the density of the new Yahoo email browser on web. Please give me the option to make the rows more dense. I get a lot of email every day and your interface forces me to touch the keyboard or mouse more frequently. This causes more carpal tunnel for me.

  13. Enhance usability

    It's very hard to read emails in the UI. The email section only covers 1/3 of the screen space. There should be a way to resize the work space for emails. Particularly on the right side where Settings, Calendar and Contacts section should be able to be minimized.

  15. Folder wheel sucks

    While I absolutely detest the new look, I absolutely miss having all my folders open on the side for filing away. The click-and-drag through the wheel of folders can easily lead to selecting the wrong folder by mistake.

  16. Restore Inbox Toolbar and Allow Customisation of Email Actions

    Please give users the option to customise the email action toolbar, including which buttons are displayed and their order.

    The new Yahoo Mail hides frequently used actions such as Archive under the three-dot menu when viewing an email, adding unnecessary clicks.

    The action toolbar has also been removed from the top of the inbox and other folders, only appearing when an email is selected.

    Please consider:
    *Allowing users to choose which actions are permanently visible when viewing an email, rather than hiding frequently used functions under the three-dot menu.
    * Restoring the action toolbar at the top of the inbox…

  18. Put email accounts back at the top of the left panel

    I have multiple email ids that I use when I use Yahoo email. The old format used to list all my email accounts at the top of the left hand panel. Now they are at the bottom and you cannot see them unless you scroll down. Not user friendly.

  20. close the tabs for individual emails when the emails are closed

    Please don't leave "tabs" open for each of the emails that I've open, read, and closed. It makes the desktop messy and then I have to go close them. They only close on their own if I delete the email, so it's really annoying to have to go clean up something that should be autocleaned.
