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.

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.

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!

  2. How do I compose a letter?

    Before things were "improved," composing a letter was very simple - you clicked on "Compose." Now that is gone. So what do I do in order to send someone an email?

  3. Tab to body of email

    This was my complaint in your previous so called updates. When you move from the Subject line to the body of the email you cannot tab within the email. Tabbing takes through all the options which makes absolutely no sense.

  4. Restore middle-click (open in new browser tab) functionality

    The new Yahoo Mail interface has broken the core web functionality of opening emails in a new browser tab via a central mouse click (middle-click / scroll wheel click).
    Because the new interface forces single-page application (SPA) internal tabs instead of using standard HTML links, the browser no longer recognizes emails as links. This is a massive downgrade in usability and heavily hurts productivity for desktop users who need to multi-task by opening multiple emails in separate browser tabs.
    Please either restore standard HTML link behavior for emails or provide an official option to permanently switch back to the previous…

  5. images added to emails

    thanks for suggesting the drag and drop, which works but it a horrible substitute for the earlier option. to select 'add image' and open the computer files and type in 'cacique' (a bird) then open the folder that might have 40 images spread through that month --- it is easy to add as an attachment, but takes forever to select one, and then the drop down often covers the part of the body of the email where the image should go... then to scroll to the right part, you have to x off the 'find image' and do it again…

  6. It would be great if Yahoo could address security concerns.

    Why couldn't someone answer my question?
    48. Agent said
    Hover over your address in an email in your mailbox and click on "Add to contacts". Create a saved contact for your own address and edit the name that appears so it's correct.

  8. What happened to the option to move photos from the email to the bottom?

    I need to move photos that are embedded in an email I am composing, to the bottom. I used to be able to hover over it and pick "move to bottom". Please return this ASAP!!!

  9. the ability to make a picture smaller or larger after copied

    In the previous version of mail I had the ability to make a picture smaller or larger after I copied the picture into the email. Also, I could select the picture and remove it from the email after it was copied into the email.
    These functions are no longer available in the new mail version. This ability was VERY USEFUL, and I believe it should be added back to the new version of mail.

  10. Bug with CTRL-Enter shortcut and subject line

    The new UI has a bug when typing the subject. If I type letters on the subject line and IMMEDIATELY hit CTRL-ENTER to send the email, it will send it with no subject at all. I have to do something else before hitting CTRL-ENTER to get it to take. Either click the mouse in the body or if I click "Send".. This is a bug. The previous UI didn't do this. This is on Chrome on Windows. (didn't test it elsewhere)

  11. email contacts improvement

    when i start to type a previously used email address while composing a new email, yahoo mail will auto correct that email to a contact name. in multiple instances this auto generated contact name is incorrect. there needs to be a new contacts icon where auto generated contacts can be found and edited easily and quickly. after using ai and digging through many sub menus im still not finding the correct place to edit the auto generated email contact names.

    Restore all the contacts that I had in the old form. I cannot email family members now because this new form has lost several of those contacts. This is inexcusable.

  13. Photos In Body Of Email

    I have noticed that when inserting photos in the body of an email that there is no longer any way to remove them once inserted. There also is no longer a choice of making them large or small. These options were available in the old version of Yahoo Mail. Not having them any longer is very inconvenient. If a mistake is made when inserting a photo, I have to discard the draft and start all over again. Please add this feature back to the new Yahoo Mail. Thank you.

  14. I need to be able to see WHICH email I am sending in the TO section. Some contact names have multiple email addresses that have been used.

    Removing the visible email address in the To field impacts my ability to safely verify recipients.

  16. Email List button - fix

    I was switched over to the new yahoo mail and am finding that when I
    am sending email using an "email list" the button stating "email this list" is not loading
    the email address in the address line...
    The chatbot told me to type in the name of the list - which worked but why is this not working?
    This "new yahoo" has been out for a long time - I went back to the old system because I did not like
    many things about it and now I am finding this bug... besides the fact that the color selections…

  18. Attaching a document repositions the screen to an unusable position

    When attaching a document to an email, after the selection popup closes, the entire window reformats such that 90% of the emails and menus are above the top of the screen and cannot be scrolled into view. only the very bottom of the email body window, the attach/send/save draft controls, and the very bottom of the folder tree is visible in the top 10% of the pane. It is not scrollable, so there is no way to bring it into view. The only fix is refreshing the tab and re-opening the draft email.

    Hi Lindsay, we tried replicating this issue and it worked fine for us. So our team had additional questions...

    Can you tell us what browser and browser version you're using?

    How many contacts are in your list, and whether this happens every time or only sometimes?

    Last, a screen recording showing the issue would be very helpful.

    Thanks!!

  20. Sending Videos

    When I send a video of mine from Vimeo- I always got a Thumbprint ID so I knew the video I was sending was correct. With the NEW email I don't get that Thumbprint confirmation. I always wonder if the correct video I'm sending IS correct? You might want to re-add that feature on the NEW email. Other than that aspect it's ok.
