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. Speed it up

    The new email is unacceptably slow. Especially deleting emails. There are so many errors. When in an email, and selecting to delete it, it takes about 1 minute to delete the email and return me to the inbox. It's been this way since the new Email launched a month ago or so. Unbearable. It's also super slow to exit an email. If I've double clicked into an email to open it, and want to go back to my inbox, that takes at least 30 seconds. Adding fancy features, and Yahoo made the most basic functionality almost unusable.

  2. Keyboard Shortcuts

    Allow pressing delete key to delete checked emails. This is always how I used to delete emails before. I know it's not a huge deal to have to click the trash icon, but I can work faster on my keyboard and this shortcut was nice.

  4. Block Sender

    Why do you keep changing things??? I USED TO be able to block a sender in my spam folder!! I am no longer able to do this??? Why did you get rid of that setting??? So now when I am scrolling thru the spam folder to make sure nothing I actually need to see got put into that folder ... I have to read these sexually explicit subject lines that I never asked for?!?!? I have been with this yahoo address as long as I've had email ... maybe it's time to move on to something more secure!

  7. WHY HAS YAHOO DELETED MY SYNCED HOTMAIL FOLDERS?

    4 WORDS - I AM VERY UPSET. - I am writing to demand immediate action and escalation regarding the critical loss of my personal data. Due to Yahoo’s recent mail system updates, the sync integration between my Yahoo account and my Hotmail account was broken, resulting in the total disappearance of my synced Hotmail folders, files, and family photos.

  9. Sent folder suggestion

    Why in the world isn't there a "check all" box at the top for the Sent folder? It is ludicrous to have to individually check items when I have not been keeping up with the deletes on a weekly basis. Right now I have 247 items, which means 247+ clicks. GRRRRRR.

  10. E-mail breach

    the Old e-mails you can see by the e-mail sent whither its legit or not by the address, say for instance a scam saying there from E-bay and you paid for an Item and to call a certain Tel ph. nu. or fake Social Security e-mail trying to fish for information, not seeing where it was sent from with this New Setup e-mail of yours.

    It brings a great security risk.

  11. Block senders directly from Spam Folder

    Please make it so we can block senders directly from Spam Folder. I sometimes have 10 or more and want to block and then delete all. I do not want to move them all to my in box that has over 100+ and then have to delete and block them individually from there.

  12. delete move and spam buttons move as i delete thru messages in my inbox

    as I'm reading and deleting thru my emails each morning, it would be nice if the buttons didn't move every once in awhile! The buttons for move/spam/delete etc should be standardized and NOT message dependent. What ends up happening is I accidentally mark some messages as spam because for some reason this new derivation of yahoo mail dynamically changes the order or availability of certain buttons in my inbox - what the heck! Like just standardize them please.

  13. Block Address in Spam

    There used to be an option in the Spam folder, where under the three dots on the right, there was an option to Block Email Address. This was very helpful and I used it. Now this has disappeared and you have to go to More, then Security, then laboriously add each email address and save it. Please bring back the easier 'block address' option to automate this. Also, I'm worried by the limit of 1000 addresses, I'm already on 860. Thanks.

  16. Stop moving the delete (trash can icon)

    Stop moving the trash can icon (delete) when I am deleting messages. I delete a message and then the arrow is over "folder" without my moving it. I can't repeatedly click delete, because I have to move the arrow to find the trash can again. Stop moving the icons.

  17. Problems with deleting emails individually.

    I feel that since one of the last updates, it has been more difficult to delete emails individually in the list. I'm not exactly sure what the change was, but I often end up opening an email instead of deleting. Perhaps the trash icon could be larger, or a few pixels the area around it could wider? Also, perhaps fewer emails could be selected with the "select all". It's too large of a group to risk deleting at a time. Thanks for your time!
