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. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    Where is the trash in the header- I no longer have it, how do I get it back, and how do you minimize an email?

  6. block

    You made blocking SPAM email addresses MUCH harder than it needs to be. Old system worked a LOT better

  8. SPAM and BLOCK options GONE!

    Hello. I find it utterly stupid, that you removed the option to BLOCK all selected mails which arrive in the SPAM category. Now i can only delete those, but they can still send me spam **** if they choose. I have to manually add each mail from Spam and Block it individually. That option to Select all Spam Mail and simply BLOCK the senders, was absolute genius. Now it seems, you removed it. Why?

  9. Bring toolbar back

    With the new interface, I can't quickly delete texts. Now I have to click an email, then click delete, then go back and click another email, then delete, etc. This new interace is clunky and not user friendly. I have never wanted to use gmail or any other email platform, but these changes have made Yahoo so much less desirable.

  11. move the trash can at the top to the far right

    when I am in this new ugly mail, you move the upper trash can to the far left, and I have to correct as I am use to going to my upper right. And when in the trash if I am looking for something I put in there, I use to be able to select and hit return to delete now I have to move to the red delete button and that is an extra step

  12. Fix

    The click options (delete, move, mark as spam, etc) all disappear after each message is deleted. This unless I'm selecting all of them at once, which is a slippery slope because the tick box is very small and I cannot say how many times I've accidentally deselected 80 emails by missing it, I have to jiggle the mouse to wake up the options again. Again, frustrating we had to go over to a new UI when the old one was actually quite good, even with the distracting ads.

  13. The ability to see the block sender's domains (like in the old Yahoo Mail)

    It feels like a piece of functionality has disappeared that I think was very helpful.
    In the old Yahoo Mail+ (from last week), I had the ability to, once I was in the SPAM folder, select all and see the domains of all of the senders. Then I could identify which senders I wanted to put into the block-domain list.
    Now, with the new Yahoo Mail update, that is gone.
    It was really useful and I would like to urge you to bring it back.

  14. Allow for more keyboard usage to select and delete emails

    I prefer the old layout as it was easier to just select and use keyboard shortcut keys instead of having to rely on mouse clicks and other manual selection. The current layout sucks as I try to click to select and it opens the dang email and i can't quickly delete by using the delete keyboard button.

  15. NO TRASH DELETION AFTER 7 DAYS

    I WAS NOT NOTIFIED THAT MY TRASH WOULD AUTO DELETE AFTER 7 DAYS. THAT HAS NEVER BEEN A THING SINCE I FIRST SIGNED UP. NOW I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING I DELETED ON THE 10TH AND AM UNABLE TO FIND IT. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.

  16. Actually delete stuff that has been deleted

    I cannot tell you how many times I have deleted email addresses that I do not want but continue to appear when I begin to type an address. Why are they still there?? Why doesn't your "delete" actually delete. My idea? Fix this.

  18. How about restoring the bulk Block Senders function. Seriously

    The bulk BLOCK SENDERS function from old Yahoo Mail is gone. What the heck are you folks thinking? Have to open and email, copy the single email address, go to Settings and then Add one at a time. WTF? Somebody missed a memo email. I work in software development, maybe you should hire me.

  20. Blocking Spam

    Under the old spam system you can block all selected spam emails, this no longer the case and emails have to be put back into the inbox to be blocked. This a pain and counter intuitive to where we were previously. Please can this capacity to block spam emails from the spam folder be restored?
    thanks R
