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!



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. Currently there's no Themes or Customization in the NEW Yahoo! Mail.

    Exactly what the title idea states. This is something that is sorely needed in the NEW Yahoo! Mail. Being able to use Custom Backgrounds or Themes (ones that are MUCH better than the basic ones that the older Yahoo! Mail was using.
    I want to be able to make my Inbox look like how I want it to look. A basic "Light", "Dark" and "Device" aesthetic is not good enough and is very boring and uninspiring, to say the least. This is what will keep me using the older Yahoo! Mail, as it at least has some kind of Theme…

    Hi Damian, very sorry, but we currently have no plans in adding more themes or backgrounds. We had many before and it had very very low usage. Most of our community stayed with the default. So due to this and high upkeep we made the decision to not support more and simplify it. Thanks!

  2. Themes not there

  3. I would like to switch back to the new, prefer old format

    Yesterday my yahoo experience changed and I would like an option to switch it back to the old design. It's what I am used to and prefer, as I have used that one the past nearing 25 years.

  4. Complaint Regarding Yahoo Mail Interface Changes

    Dear Yahoo Support,

    I am a long-time Yahoo Mail user and a paying customer who recently purchased additional storage space.

    After recent changes to Yahoo Mail, the interface I had used for years has disappeared. The previous layout was much more comfortable, easier to read, and more suitable for my daily use.

    The new interface is difficult for me to use, and I can no longer find the appearance options and themes that were previously available. I especially miss the ability to customize the look and feel of my mailbox.

    I would like to know:

    Is it possible to restore…

  6. Backgrounds in Appearance?

    How about different backgrounds or themes in Mail? Allow us to personalize our accounts, not have to stick with something unimaginative or boring?

    We had tons of themes and backgrounds and unfortunately they were barely used. So with very very low usage and high upkeep, we made the decision to not support all those and instead keep it simplified. Sorry about that, but thank you for loving that!

  7. Email themes

    So, I switched to the new email. I want my theme back! Or, where did the themes go? I can't find them.
    Disappointed.

  8. Old Version

    I cannot deal with the new version email at all. My brain is going nuts & I'm stressed because I can't even look at my emails without my brain swirling. Way too busy with icons, dots, bold modern print. Why oh why would you even think this new version is better!

  9. Themes

    I miss having the color choices that were in the last version. White is too bright and dark is just too dull.

    Hi Owen, yes we did have many themes before and unfortunately a majority of our users always kept the default theme. Therefore with low usage and high up keep, we decided not to support more themes and kept it simplified. Hope you can understand!

  11. Appearance

    The WHITE appearance is too bright. The Dark Appearance is too dark. I have trouble seeing which e-mails have not been opened because the colors are too similar. How about a gray or medium level?

  16. Need the themes in the new version too

    I loved the new Yahoo inbox look but I still prefer being able to choose from the various themes in the old version and give my personal touch. The new inbox looks like a rented unit the old felt like my home. Please see if you can add the themes-like thing in the new setup. Thanks
