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!


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.

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!

  3. Put Back Keyword Search In Advanced Search ASAP!!

    You removed keyword search from Advanced Search!! Why??!! It's an essential, necessity item we use everyday! I'll never be able to find my emails without it!! I put a name in the sender, then a word in the keyword search to find the specific email I'm looking for. Can't do that now! You at least should have had enough sense to leave Advanced Search exactly the same as it was in old Yahoo Mail!!

    I'll never figure out why you're making these changes. The old Yahoo Mail was nearly perfect and so user friendly! You've improved absolutely nothing, and just…

  4. Long List of Searches but Can't Delete

    Please make it easy to delete old mail searches. There is no X when I highlight them or right-click so I have a list of about 20 and the most recent are way off to the right side. USELESS.

  5. Display of email address instead of Real Name

    It is impossible to navigate the contact list when the same people has multiple email address, or Multiple people with the same name. It only display the person name, and THERE ARE NO WAY TO DIFFERENCIATE BETWEEN THEM. Please either change it or just let people use legacy mode

  7. Search for sender

    I went to search for emails from a particular sender and all the emails containing that email address came up, fine, but the new Mail doesn't give me an option to sort by, "to" "from" so I'm now looking through more emails than I should have to trying to find the email FROM this person that has the original info I'm looking for. Again, inefficient.

  8. search issues

    Searching doesnt work like the older view of Ymail. New mail search is worst. Advance search doesnt work in new look.
