New Yahoo Mail

← Yahoo Feedback

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. Too much screen used for advertising .. Mail screen size reduced too much.

    I log on to read Emails not to have the email reading area the same size as your advertising screen.
    Makes it hard to read important info. in emails.. Could not minimize advertising screen..
    NOW email group at bottom of screen not top?? WHY??? Now have to adjust screen focus making email details smaller to read. or miss half the email page.
    Prefer old style.

  2. Accessible Settings

    First of all, you could put the settings button where someone might actually look for it. Not everyone thinks your whizbang ideas(assuming you can figure out what that means) are spectacular. If something is working, LEAVE IT ALONE!

  5. width of inbox vs ads

    The inbox is too small (narrow) in comparison to width of adds column. Make it wider and ads sections more discreet.

  7. position of ads in the inbox

    Recently the second line of my inbox is an ad link. I find I click on many that I don't want to see because of the location. Can you move this to the top of the inbox please?

  8. Stop all the pop ups

    Never had all these silly pop-ups before like the Halloween challenge or whatever. I don't care about earning useless "badges" for checking my email. Stop the silliness.

  9. Get rid of the stupid ads that flash in your face while attempting to read emails!

    All you did with new "fancy" ridiculous upgrade was compact all my emails and place a giant flashy ad on the side of the page. And as far as my "free" limited storage, You can **** straight off!!!! Who are you to tell me how many emails I can keep????????????? I have had this email account for over 20 years. I am going to have things in there from the past. I ABSOLUTELY WILL NEVERRRRRRRRRR PAY YOU FOR ADDITIONAL STORAGE. If you want to keep this **** up, I will move along and I will eviscerate you in writing.

  11. stop the pop-ups

    If you don't stop giving pop-ups of all the great new features and streaks in Yahoo mail, I may stop using it all together. I go there for email, not to be bombarded by useless distractions.

  12. Ads

    The Ads look exactly like an email, except for it says Ad in tiny letters instead of a time. This invites unwanted scamming and potential for security issues for those of us that like our privacy. It would be helpful for Ads to be more obvious and contrasted to actual emails. Thank you.

  14. I am a paying customer and I want to use the basic mail version

    Btw, the paid version brought me sex ads that I've never had for the past 30 years that I've been using Yahoo mail (since 1996, and not since 1999, like your gaslighting suggests).

    I want to be able to use the basic email version - I don't want "smart" features, I don't want AI, I don't want your "targeted ads", I just want to be able to send and receive emails - STOP RUINING EVERYTHING THAT WORKS!!!!

  15. Yahoo Identity and Legacy

    Yahoo, you must find your own path and never forget that, over the years, we have remained in the same boat together - through both sunny and stormy days - and that we have always found a way. We all go through changes in life, but it is essential not to lose our identity by becoming a mere copy of our competitors, just for the sake of short-term gratification. A truly timeless brand inspires confidence through its classic interface that we alll loved, rather than obscuring it behind transient clutter.
