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.

*Those asking about going back to the old version. Unfortunately, if you do not see the "Go Back" button you cannot go back. We really hope you'll try the new experience! Thanks!



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



COMING SOON!
Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon!




**Please do NOT post about Account, Password, Login issues here. It will be deleted. Please go to help.yahoo.com.

  1. The "Drafts" icon no longer shows the number of active drafts

    In the old version I was able to see how many drafts were currently in the Drafts folder.

    This is no longer possible for some reason

    Please fix.

  2. Arrow to view subfolders of subfolders no longer visible

    When the left side of the screen is expanded to show folders, if a subfolder name is too long, the drop-down arrow to show the subfolders under that folder is no longer visible. This is a new issue. Previously, the folder name would be truncated so that the arrow was always visible. Now, I can't access the subfolders of a subfolder unless I close the left-hand column, click on the icon for Folders, and choose the subfolder's subfolders through the pop-up box. Please fix this ASAP so that the drop-down arrows to access subfolders are again always visible.

  4. Option to open message in new tab

    Hey "geniuses" at Yahoo your latest crapfest of an interface took away the ability to open a message in a new tab. That was vital to my productivity. I would go through a large list of unread messages, check most of them for immediate deletion without opening, but the messages I wanted to read I would open in a new tab. You killed that feature for junk nobody wanted. I ask again, does anybody at Yahoo ever speak to another human being???

    Hi Jason, we didn't take that feature away. It's still there, we recommend checking your Settings as we have a lot of things there you can disable or even customize to your liking.

    From the left hand navigation: More > Settings > Appearance > Multi-tasking Tabs.

  5. Allow me to go back to old setup. All fonts are bigger and I cant see as many emails since this new AI b.s.

  7. Why did you remove the BLOCK feature?

    I used to be able to block SPAM & MALICIOUS email.
    Now the Blocking is gong.

    We did not remove the block feature we simply call it mark as spam. Marking an email does the exact same thing as blocking, it prevents the email from coming to your Inbox. Please make sure you are marking these emails as spam. Ty!

    Yes, we launched a fun way to reward our users for reading and organizing your emails, but you do not have to participate (not forced). Friendly reminder to always check your Settings. You can disable Streaks by going to the three dots "..." in the left hand navigation and then Your Streaks. Thanks.

  9. Get rid of the popups congratulating me for getting emails!!!!

    I received a popup telling me something to the effect of "congratulations - you've received emails for 3 days!". I receive emails EVERY DAY. I do not need Yahoo to congratulate me for them. If there are other cutesie popups like this, GIVE US A WAY TO DISABLE THEM.

  10. Don't impose the Primary view on us

    Please let us switch to the old email!

    If not, I absolutely hate the default "Primary view," I want all my emails and get confused if some appear missing.

    Also, I want to see my emails organized by month and year like in the old email.

  11. wtf have you done now all the folders and unread option have been hidden!

    I have 77 folders with mail filters, it's unusable now why would anyone hide all of the folders and "unread" in sub menus this is absurd.

    How am I supposed to know when there are new emails in sub folders at a glance when I log in?

  15. get rid of streaks

    No body cares about email streaks. Email is not a video game. It is 100% annoying to have your stupid pop-ups regarding "streaks" while they are trying to read/respond to emails. Just stop this childish non-sense

  17. Please restore the option for folders to remain visible on the left-hand side.

    The recent Yahoo Mail layout no longer displays folders permanently in the left navigation pane. I organise mail by dragging messages into folders, and the new pop-out folder menu significantly slows down filing. Please restore the option for folders to remain visible on the left-hand side.
    This is important for users who manage large numbers of emails and rely on drag-and-drop filing rather than the Move menu. I will have to go back to old style Yahoo if this stays like this.

  18. Better ease in finding the settings/gear icon

    I have to scroll to the bottom of my folders and then click the three dots to be able to display the settings gear. It would be MUCH more helpful to have it under "Manage my Account." Thanks for considering!

    Hi Karen, we currently have no plans in moving the Settings. Most of the time, our users will go to their Settings once, maybe twice to disable or customize things, but we can see that Settings is not a popular place to go, therefore we currently have no plans in moving it and keeping it where it is. Thanks!

  19. Make viewing email folders accessible

    The column is far too small & I can't see all my folder names, need ability to expand it. The starred/contacts box takes up space- should be able to reduce or remove that from the view.

  20. Have Unread Emails appear in the Primary Mail tab

    Why do I have to click over to a separate "Unread" tab to see some of my emails? And why is that Unread tab buried in a separate tab which has so little features in it, you could just put them all on the control bar on the side! Why does clicking on the Inbox default to "Primary" instead of "All"? And how does the system decide which emails show up in 'primary"?

    What was the point of this stupid update? all it does is make my email more of a hassle.

    Friendly reminder to always check your Settings. Yes, we introduced Inbox Categories to help organize your emails better, but we also understand that not everyone would need or want, therefore, you can disable it under your Settings and go back to having just one Inbox.
