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!

  1. remove ad section on screen

    Why am I seeing this new panel? Is this a new feature? I liked using the classic yahoo. How do I knock it off?

  2. Ads take up more room than your email window

    allow the ads to be moved on your page so you don't have to scroll back and forth so much. I can't even read my email any more without having to scroll back and forth all the time just read a sentence.

  3. Don't advertise virus infected ads

    My Yahoo mail is showing an Ad indicating it is coming from McAfee.com that says "Payment has failed". It is an obvious scam intending to infect my computer. Use AI to come up with better software to prevent obvious scams from coming into a users InBox.

  4. Make it humanly possible to contact someone about server failure

    Sorry for the misleading category, but I figured this is the one you'd be most likely to read. I've spent 4+ hours with your chatbot today, to no avail. I had a Cox email account, which was part of our internet connection deal, until they pawned their mail support off you Yahoo. This was in 2024. I've been able to access my email using Thunderbird and POP3 since then, until 2 days ago, when I started getting hangs, followed by an "internal server error" message. I've very carefully documented that my server configuration is correct, and that the problem occurs…

  5. GET RID OF "EMAIL" ADS showing like mail IN MY INBOX

    I will categorically NEVER respond or open any email that is one of your ads. I will categorically never respond to any ads catering to "old guys who want women" or other "dating" proposals. I will categorically and specifically never respond to any ad, nor buy anything, from TEMU. You have littered the rest of the space on the page with all manner of disgusting, unwanted, misdirected, innappropriate and oh-so-grossly-repetive junk ads (mail) without literally cluttering up my inbox. No other service provider is trashing their customers-members inbox with such offal. You have hijacked more space than is appropriate already.…

  6. Let me read my mail when I have ad blocker on!!

    I use Ghostery, and since mid week or earlier, the only way for me to view mail that I open is to turn off the ad blocker. I can see the topics fine. But I get a red triangle with words 'Not Online' after opening mail. I'll turn it off, since you are forcing me to. But I'm letting my Senator know.

  7. Remove Ads in email line

    Please consider removing the ads that appear in the center of the screen in line with other emails. For older users such as my mother, it's not easy to tell that it's an ad even with the label. I know ads are necessary for the free version however there are a lot of ads in other locations on the page. Thanks for considering this request to ensure safety of all users.

  8. Please stop showing the same ads even after I click "X" to close.

    In general, love the new Yahoo Mail web app. That said, I find it annoying that the same ad — namely the ad for 50% off the Monarch app — continues to pop up even after I click "X", which I assume would be analogous to "not interested". I'm a paying customer, and not sure why I need to be bombarded with these distracting ads. Please make it stop. Thank you. Bryan Rulli.

  9. Subject: Security Concern – Ads in Delete Checkbox Triggering Access Attempts

    Subject: Security Concern – Ads in Delete Checkbox Triggering Access Attempts

    Message:

    Hello Yahoo Support,

    I have experienced a serious security issue with my Yahoo Mail account. Twice now, when I clicked the checkbox to delete an email (without opening it), the box contained an advertisement. As soon as I clicked to delete, it attempted to access my PC.

    This means hackers are embedding ads directly into the delete checkbox, so that when users try to remove unknown or suspicious emails, it triggers unauthorised access attempts.

    Please investigate and fix this urgently. The delete function should never expose users to…

  12. deleting spam and trash

    I keep deleting spam and trash several times a day and the same ones plus more keep coming back. This is SO irritating and I'm ready to change to a different email system if this does not improve. If spam and trash are deleted, everything deleted should be prevented from reappearing. Can you fix it so that this takes place? Thank you!

  13. No more ****

    Hey yahoo -- I appreciate that I have ads. Truly, I don't mind. But ... can they at least NOT be **** ads? That would be great, especially since I have kids and would rather not open up my yahoo email to find **** ads.

    Seriously, WTF? Am I going to have to consider my email to be NSFW now?

  15. allow **** spam deletion filters

    pls do a better job of screening and deleting **** email. I get dozens of ads with f, py, etc in my box. there should be a way to delete these without even seeing them. I have set up filters but they don't work and it just goes to trash, I'd like them screened altogether and never reach my mailbox.

    Please make sure you are marking these emails as spam instead of just deleting. Also, if they are newsletters please make sure you unsubscribe from these. We will also share this with our anti-spam team. Thank you!

  16. Stop even the Yahoo ads when I'm a PREMIUM subscriber already.

    Just stop. I'm tired of reading about the 75% off advertisement when I open Yahoo Premium for your new service. It doesn't inspire to try it, it turns me off big time from ever trying it.

  18. Stop Placing Adult Dating Service Ads with my Inbox

    I have a seemingly never-ending variety of adult dating service ads at the top of my inbox. A novel concept would be to ask if I am interested in such ads since I do not access any form of adult sites. To give a clue about the possible response if that previous question is asked - I am not interested in seeing ads for adult anything. Please fix this. I will report to any further ads to the FTC website.

    The ads are suddenly flashing and playing videos using a lot of data and being a huge distraction. Its making the email page unusable. I'm seriously considering just getting rid of yahoo email because of it. I don't mind static ads, but video of flashing ads are just incredibly frustrating to deal with. I'm not checking my email to watch ads or be distracted by them. I've been using this for years and it really stinks that I might have to xfer over to another email address now because of this recent cash grab by yahoo which is making the…
