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. Whatever you changed, it's the worst!

    It's near impossible to tell what has or hasn't been read, and the font is hard to read.

  2. Display friendly mailbox name instead of account sending name

    In the bottom-left mailbox navigation list, the new interface displays the account's configured "Sending Name" (the name others see when I send an email) instead of the custom "Friendly Name" I have set for each mailbox.
    When managing multiple accounts under the same person's name, seeing the exact same sending name repeated makes it impossible to distinguish between different mailboxes at a glance.
    Please restore the functionality that displays the custom Friendly Name for each

  3. Your New UI Makes Things Impossible For Me

    Please provide the option to revert back to the old UI as I cannot work with this new one - it gives me a headache and I can't differentiate between the different emails like I could before which means I am missing important ones.

  4. Return the close button for emails

    The version before this newest one has a close button for emails. I can no longer find this option in the new version. I currently use a view where the email would be displayed at the right side of the inbox.

  6. Please let me see all my accounts on the same layout!!!

    This new layout is awful!!!! There is no way to check if I received a new email on a different account. I have to manyally switch to my many accounts to see each one! This is absurd!

  8. Crítica à nova interface do Yahoo Mail — contas vinculadas escondidas

    Utilizo o Yahoo Mail há anos como central de gerenciamento dos meus e-mails pessoais e profissionais, incluindo contas do Gmail, Hotmail/Outlook e do trabalho.

    Após a recente mudança da interface, as contas vinculadas deixaram de aparecer de forma evidente na lateral. Embora continuem cadastradas nas configurações, o acesso a elas ficou escondido e pouco intuitivo.

    Precisei procurar por diferentes menus para localizar uma funcionalidade que antes era facilmente acessível. Por alguns momentos, tive a impressão de que havia perdido o acesso às minhas outras contas.

    A nova interface prejudica a usabilidade e torna mais difícil uma tarefa básica: alternar entre…

  10. Jumping directly to attachment

    While reading email with PIN symbol it should jump to attachment when there are long trailing emails then its difficult to scroll down that much. It was there in earlier version.

  11. Stop messing with what works

    The font in the new design is much harder to read. You just made it a whole lot harder for this old guy to view the incoming email. WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE TO MESS WITH A PRODUCT THAT WORKS. YOU FEEL THE NEED TO BREAK IT TO KEEP YOUR JOB. OH, I GET IT, THIS IS AN ARTIFICIAL IGNORANCE DESIGN,

  12. Bring back highlighting of emails!

    NEED the highlighting it is too hard to navigate through the read and to distinguish between deletions and ones you want to keeep, You are looking like gmail but a bad one that is lacking in what is needed to read and use emails. Get rid of the AI - leave that as an option for those that want it, I DO NOT, bring back the highlighting of clicked on emails I don't mind the similarities to gmail but having the stars on the right at first sucks, no highlighting of emails SUCKS and I could go on but those…

  14. Allow the Folders column width to be resized

    You could change the width of the folders column in the old mail system. It seems to be fixed now and I cannot read the full folder names imported to the new system so it is not easy to distinguish folders without waiting for the prompt to pop up after hovering over each folder name.

  15. Everything is just too big, too much wasted space

    Everything is enormous with tons of wasted space around panes. The right side pane where calendar/contacts show cannot be collapsed taking up even more space in the page. I have half the real estate availabe on the old version for reading my emails. So much so, I had to change the zoom of the page to 80% to get some semblance of normalcy. Oh that means I need to keep on my reading glasses at all times now. Thanks Yahoo!

    When reading an email, the part of the pane that shows subject/buttons/from-to take up over 1/3 of the email pane…

  16. Deselect selected messages with up/down arrow keys

    With the old mail a feature I used all the time was selecting multiple messages then marking them as read. After I could click up or down arrow on the keyboard to deselect them. I now have to use my mouse to click the select all box twice to deselect all. Implementing this in the new version would be a huge time saver

  17. Make multiple inboxes viewable onscreen at once

    Seeing all my linked inboxes in the top left made it much easier to see which ones had unread emails to attend to and made it much more convenient to swap between them. I would love to have some semblance of this feature again

  18. Make highlights more highlighted

    The new mail looks fine except for one thing. In dark mode (I'm assuming anyway, but that is DEFINITELY something I need) the highlights between read and unread messages are not there. Instead, I need to rely just on the text being bold or not, and that makes it VERY difficult to scan through and quickly see which messages I have or have not read. Could it be a bit more clear?

  19. little purple dots

    in the old yahoo mail the little red purple dots next to the check boxes used to function as making the email read and now clicking on them just open the email. Is there a setting to change that? also is there a way i can go back to the old Yahoo mail?
