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. Yahoo mail is now USELESS to multitask

    The new yahoo mail is TERRIBLE I usually open multiple emails in new tabs to I can get more done but now its impossible.

    Right-click an email now and all it does it select it. WORTHLESS !!!!!

    I'm seriously considering switching to a new provider because this is unacceptable GARBAGE.

  2. Switching accounts is now 3 clicks

    New design goes backwards!!!

    Switching accounts with old design took 2 clicks, new design is 3, a productivity loss!!!

    Why change something that worked!!!

    Why would someone pay for a product that changes out from under you!!!

  3. everything is too spaced out/far apart

    New e-mail layout looks bad. There is too much space between every line of text. It's like you are making a fisher price toy interface for kids. I want a dense view, no line spacing. I can do the same with Outlook thankfully.

  4. Opt out of 'streak' feature

    I am tired of getting these pop-ups in the form of streaks or acheivements... for checking my emails. I have to do this every day for work but I seriously detest streaks and the psychology around them. I would greatly appreciate a way to simply turn these off. These kinds of features always rub me the wrong way, and often make me not want to use the program all together. Please just allow us that care enough about it not existing, to turn it off.

  5. "Keep Folders Expanded" has incorrect instructions

    "hovering on Inbox edge until you see Double Arrows." The only thing that happens when I hover over the inbox is that it states how many unread messages that I have.

  6. Return the side-by-side attachments view in mail! It was your best feature and the main reason I've been using your service for years

    I would seriously like to have a chat with your UX designer, this update is ridiculous. I don't mind new polished UI, but can I at least have an option to toggle if I want to have a convenient side-by-side view of my attachments??? Bring it back, or I'll have to switch to another mail client.

  7. Menus need to be fixed

    You've changed the start page and buried key functions (e.g., Move) in menus that require an extra step to find an use. In genera, the revised format is simply not as convenient to use as the older format. Yes, people will learn to use the new format, but this format is not an upgrade for long time users.

    Also, how can I change the color scheme to better emphasize new v. old emails? How can I change the type size to see more emails on one page. Why are all of my personal folders now buried under a menu option…

  8. Unread and Read Mails View

    Dark Mode - Extremely difficult to differentiate between "New Unread Mails" and "Old Read Mails". Just the Bold Font for New Unread Mails is not an enough differentiator. Also, in Settings screen, there is no "Back" button to go back to mailbox view

  9. Mailbox view

    I have four mailboxes that I use daily. I do not like the placement of the dropdown menu at the bottom left of the screen to cycle through my mailboxes. Messages are not being read because I cannot see the unopened emails in each box like I used to be able to. Please move this display or revert to the original view.

  10. Open "ALL" in Inbox

    The new version opens "Primary" in the Inbox. It should open "All." This is really annoying because many more incoming emails show up in "All." Is there any way for the user to control this?

  11. Bring back the right click "mark as read" for each folder.

    Please allow the right click and marked as read for the folders such as Inbox. It is a change that is annoying and frustrating.

  13. why no unified inbox?

    allow the option to revert back or allow the appearances and features of the old yahoo. why is there no unified inbox? we have to scroll to the bottom left and check if each mailbox has any new mail. There needs to be a unified inbox shown like the old yahoo mail.

  14. Make the actual mail section larger

    The most important part of the email screen is the email. The huge screen has lots of navigation tools and unused space, but the actual mail, itself, is hard to read because the area devoted to it is so small. You can only read a few lines at a time, and you have to keep scrolling to read it. How about using some of all that empty space to make it larger so you can actually read the email comfortably.

  15. Reorder

    It would be most useful if I could reorder the menu down the left side. I would raise Trash and Spam above the scroll, and demote things like Scheduled that I have no use for. Trash and Spam are important to check, and since you removed the actual number of entries from them, it is now even more of a pain because I have to scroll down to even see them.
    This new layout is NOT an improvement.

  16. Bring back day, month separators

    Emails are now a long list which is not pleasing to the eye. I preferred the emails separated by dates (each day) and then the month.

  17. we need archive button visible when message is open(like in bulk selection).

    when i open a message either in pane view, or message view, the archive option is in the three dots. takes me 2+ clicks to archive message no matter where i am. archive is the most basic of functions. as important as delete.

    btw, the archive button shows up as first icon in bulk selection mode.

  19. Bring back the list on the left where I could select the email account easily

    I could easily check any of the emails and folders because they were listed on the left all the time. I hate having to go to settings to access each time. Is that in those changes coming soon?
