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
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! (Some of you are already seeing this new Setting, please let us know if you cannot)




**Please do NOT post about Account, Password, Login issues here. It will be deleted. Please go to help.yahoo.com.




Thank you! 💜

  1. Colors

    Please restore my old format of the Yahoo Mail.Please restore the colors, design and everything as it was. I can't distinguish between new mails and ads, there's no structure, everyuthing seems just a bunch of mixed trash in an Inbox. UGLY UGLY UGLY and worst of all, confusing and non funcional. Please restore my Yahoo Mail, especially the INbox with its format and design

  2. NEW EMAIL AND UNREAD IN DARK MODE HARD TO DIFFERENTIATE

    In the new version of Yahoo Mail, any read and unread messages in dark mode are so hard to differentiate. It was better in the older version.

  3. Bring back themes or color options for the mailbox view on a desktop browser

    Please bring back themes, or some option to select a different color pallet that dark or light. Both are too extreme and I need something more in the middle. Gray or the ability to choose my own colors would be much more helpful. This is the main reason I never switched to the new layout when I had the choice. I DO NOT appreciate being forced to use the new layout.

  4. Make the new Yahoo Mail more compact

    Make the new Yahoo Mail more compact, the text is too large and too many graphics I cannot move, please let me have smaller fonts and hide the boxes on the right, started messages I don't need another box showing me that.

  5. Needs a condensed layout.

    I hate the new compared to the original - there is far too much White, dead space, everything is over-spaced. It just makes more work, more page turns, more scrolling.
    It was fine as it was! Please make a condensed theme, it can still be very readable if you make use of dividers and backing/text colour. I know its 'trendy' but the minimalist spaced look is just annoying.
    Thanks

  7. different layout

    I really dislike the new design. I'd love to have options to pick different colour layout or themes. I don't understand why the only option about the appearance is dark or light mode. The old yahoo mail had at least different colours to choose from. When you upgraded there should be more options not less. Other mail providers have much more and much better options about the appearance.

  9. Pleas for desktop color themes to return

    The help chat bot suggested the following. I use Yahoo on desktop only. I REALLY want the color themes back :(

    Me: i want color themes, please bring them back

    Agent said
    I hear you. Color themes are currently available in the Yahoo Mail app on supported devices and app versions:

    Open the Yahoo Mail app.

    Tap your Profile icon.

    Tap Settings, then Themes.

    Choose a colored theme and tap Save.

    In Yahoo Mail on a desktop browser, the current Appearance choices are Light, Dark, or Automatic, rather than the older color-theme options.

    To request that desktop color themes return,…

  10. PLEASE STOP WITH THE SILLY POP UPS

    I do not need praise for checking my email or progress reports. Please stop with the silly notifications. I'm thinking of leaving on going completely to gmail.

  13. Problem with Dark Mode

    Dark view does not show all of the text on some of my saved drafts.
    Had to go back to Light view to see the rest of the text.
    New Yahoo mail, what a fiasco!
    Programmers need to find new jobs.

  15. Enable users to select colors of the New Yahoo Mail

    Enable users to select colors used by the New Yahoo Mail (if not all users, then at least those who subscribe to Yahoo Mail Plus).

    (I looked for this feature under "Appearance" in "Settings", and did not find it.)

  16. Compartmentalizing the features is just going back to Windows 3.1 "windows".

    Why not offer multiple graphic user interface options? The current design does not clearly distinguish unread emails from read emails.

  18. Remove the challenges and badges

    Nobody needs email to be "gamified". After having this email for decades now, I'm probably going to move to another platform for my primary email. I need a simpler email. I don't more pop-ups to click through to do my business.

  19. GET RID OF THE POPUP CHALLENGES

    I am not here to play games; I am here to do work, and they are getting in the way of that, slowing me down, and upsetting me. I have used Yahoo Mail for over 20 years, but it may be time to move over to Gmail if this service cannot take itself seriously.

  20. Get rid of the achievements, they slow down productivity.

    Why are we gamifying my deleting emails? It forces me to make extra clicks to keep going, wasting my time, slowing me down, and distracting me.

    Are you trying to make this hostile to working people? Can you please get ideas from somewhere other than the unpaid intern?
