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.

  6. Restore Functionality

    Not only is the new format ugly, it is clumsy, and it adds new defects.

    Displaying images in emails no longer works. Broken.

  7. Modern look? Really!!!

    I want the classic version back, I want my e-mails be on pages not in continuous scrolling on one page. Luckily I got rid of those category tabs.They were just messing up reading e-mail. Also bulk deleting is easier in classic mode. So far I have been able to switch to classic mode but now that option has disappeared. You have FORCED people to use the modern version, that is not good. People should have choice what to use. New look is horrible.

  8. make the folders, And Mailboxes movavle so the can sit in the sidebar where it is convienint for the user

    The sidebar needs to be much more user-friendly. Allow users to move the folders, mailboxes, etc. to the physical locations they want them. This would personalize the platform to the users rather than the user to the platform

  9. The new Yahoo mail user interface is extremely glitchy

    The new user interface gets often does not load the page and requires me to reload a number of times, sometimes it resets after looking at an email, in general it is really bad.
    Can you please allow the option to return to the previous user interface?

  11. i want the old lay out back

    why are you changing things. this new lay out is horrible! to see everything i want in my inbox, i have to go to two different "boxes", this is stupid and redundant. this is like someone finding a fix for something that isn't broken. or just changing something just to change it to say that they did something.

    Yes, we’ve introduced a new design to better support our community as needs, routines, and habits. We understand that adjustments like this can be challenging at first, and we appreciate your patience as well as your feedback. We hope you’ll spend some time with the new layout.

  12. Please restore the option to use the previous Yahoo Mail interface.

  13. terrible. My incoming emails are only in a small portion of my screen, making them impossible to read.

    Give me back my old screen where I could read my emails. I honestly hope your dog dies.

  15. Awful design of the new email for desktop. Fire the designer !!!

    Awful experience with the new layout. The right hand pane is absolutely useless and I can't remove it at all. I want to have the option to go back to the Basic Email layout, I don't like the new one.

    Hi Neil, thanks for your feedback. We currently have no plans in putting "Contacts" in the left hand navigation. Contacts is very rarely used by our Community. It's used a lot therefore it will remain in the right hand side. We want to keep the left side simple with the most used functions. Thanks!

  18. Revert email back to how it was before

    Everything about the new format and operation of the email is terrible. Constant pop up ads, terrible navigation. I absolutely hate it.

  19. Go back to the old email

    The new yahoo mal is truly dreadful - hard to navigate, hard to find things. Stuff gets deleted or go missing.
    In short, Yahoo has turned a good mail system int a pile of total **** over the past few years. It's what Cory Doctorow called "EnShittification" - Yahoo is alienating users and customers at an accelerating rate.
    .

  20. Please make the select all checkbox always visible!

    The only way that the Select All checkbox appears for me is if I first select an email. Please just make it ALWAYS visible!
