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! 💜

  2. delete addresses from memory

    Sometimes people's email addresses change, like they retired, and when I start to type in their name, the old one keeps coming up. I thought there was a way to delete old addresses from the list of contacts, but it no longer seems to work.

  3. Bring back blocking and removing a specific email all at once

    There use to be the option of blocking and removing a specific email all at once. I had received 133 spam emails and 119 of them were from the same email address ( contact@xysyrsm.com). I use to be able to block and remove these all at once, but now I had to look at EVERY one of them. I saved all of them if you would like some proof. Please bring back the option of blocking and removing all of the unwanted emails all at once.

  4. Prullenbak: zelf kunnen beslissen wanneer die definitief geleegd wordt

    Voor mij is de Prullenbak een tijdelijke opslagplaats voor e-mails die behandeld zijn maar die ik nog wel wil bijhouden. In de nieuwe lay-out zouden die al na zeven dagen plots verdwijnen! Terwijl dat voor de spamfolder een volle maand is! Ik vind dat we dat zélf moeten kunnen kiezen. Een maand vind ik billijk, maar 't zou zelfs langer mogen zijn wat mij betreft.

  5. Issue with your server

    Some of my email are not showing in my inbox https://mail.yahoo.com/. These emails were not deleted, spammed or archived. The emails existed in my inbox. For example 9 December 2024 emails. This is not browser related issue. It is clearly your server issue. I tested with Edge, Chrome, Incognito and the issue remains.
    whether I use the search or scroll to the entire inbox to locate the emails around December 2024, I don't see some of the emails.

  6. restore a click for blocking emails

    Blocking SPAM emails used to be much easier; a simple click to add an email address to the BLOCK list; Now, the email address has to be manually typed into the BLOCK list; and emails that show up in SPAM have ridiculously long email addresses. Restore the simple click to BLOCK emails.

  8. Setting that allows filters to operate on Spam folder

    Spam folder is full of basically the same 8 ads from spammers which makes it hard to check for valid emails since filters ignore the spam folder. Should be an option to allow filters to operate on the spam folder so when I block one Colonial Penn ad, any new ones also get blocked in the future.

  10. bring back the "block the senders" option in SPAM folder

    previously there was an option for mail found in the SPAM folder that allowed you to "block the sender". now the only option to block the senders email address is to manually type the address in the "Blocked addresses" in the "Security and privacy" section. It was so easy previously with that feature!!!!!!!!

  11. Put filters back and change this cartoon looking interface back to something more adult looking

    Put the filters back. You all let entirely too much spam through to not give us an option to at least make filters.

  15. Deleting Spam needs warning pop-up for all instances of permanent deletion

    When selecting multiple items in the spam folder for deletion, and clicking the trash can button, a pop-up appears asking if you are sure you want to delete them forever.

    If you are looking at an individual message within the spam folder, and you click the trash can button from inside that message, it will delete forever with no pop-up.

    Please include the warning pop-up for all instances of permanent deletion.

    This issue occurred on Firefox 158.0.1.

  16. Bring back the dropdown

    I am not happy with the fact there's no obvious way to select "unstarred" to delete multiple emails the way it was in the previous UI.

  17. longer save in drafts

    I use the drafts to compose group email newsletters, this way I can make changes and add pictures easily while checking my emails and searching for news online....but you now delete drafts after 7 days. I lost 2 newsletters in progress when you updated Yahoo Mail and was rushed to complete a new group email in 2 days...NOT HAPPY. Please extend the save time in drafts to at least 2 weeks. Thank you.
