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!


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



COMING SOON!
Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon!




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




Thank you! 💜

  1. Don't change what isn't broken.

    I despise the new format. It is change for the sake of change.

  3. Reduce the junk on the screen

    new UI is impossible for low vision users on a laptop. Only 3-4 lines of text are visible because there is so much other stuff crowding the screen. Less is much better.

  4. How can I switch back to yahoo classic

    Why do you keep changing the user interface to strange new versions and not allowing users to keep classic view? Are you trying to lose users on purpose?

  6. SPAM folder is empying to Trash for no reason

    Why is my SPAM blocked and deleted emails end up in my TRASH?
    They are in the SPAM for a reason, you should not move them to the TRASH. They need to be removed completely once deleted from SPAM.
    Everything in this new Yahoo Mail is working backwords. All the functions that were working fine, now are disabled or completely gone.

  7. NEW MAIL SUCKS

    Having this here:
    *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!
    Makes me so dam angry. Why do you get to change something that has been used for so long and force a change that didnt need to be made.
    By basically forcing me to use the new mail, instead of giving me the option of choice, (like you used to) I will look in to no longer using your service.
    I abuslty hate the look…

  8. Why change at all?

    To whom it may concern.

    You’ve got a perfectly fine email system: inbox, outbox, sent mail, spam, user categories, trash. Why change? What are you trying to accomplish? Please explain.

    The USPS is a failed system. So was AOL. Will Yahoo Mail follow the same path? More junk? More filtering by the consumer?

    Keep It Simple (KIS). Save your money on your Yahoo! (Y!) revamp It works now.

  10. Please let me keep the current yahoo mail

    Have the new one forced on another account, and would prefer to keep the current one. New one doesn't add any features that make up for how much clunkier it is to navigate.

  13. No choice on attachment source anymore

    Where is the option to choose where to go for attachments. It directly takes me to my computer and not any way to my mailbox. It does not have any option to choose. Why did Yahoo take away this important task. This really sucks!

  14. THE MOUSE IS VERY UNRESPOSIVE WHILE COMPOSING AN EMAIL.

    The old email allowed me to copy from one website to paste into a new email. The app just froze until I used a keyboard command. I would like the ole email back. How can I get it?

  15. Can't attach a document from within the email anymore, WHY?

    Everything is soo confusing and takes forever to find anything.Tried to attach a document to an email from within the inbox, and can't find this option anymore. Once I click on the attachment, it automatically takes me to my computer files and NO option to search within emails. Why did you have to change a perfectly working email website to something that is NOT functional at all. The worst change EVER!

  17. Bring back the OLD VIEW

    Switching between my acounts is extra annoying clicks now. Show all of them, all of my mail accounts AT ONCE like you used to in "basic" mail. I hate the new layout. It was fine as is. I have to hover, then select and the stupid accounts don't always change. I used to just do one click. Then the other accounts loaded. Why did you force change? Trying to migrate everything to gmail because of your moronic design.

  18. Fix the delete option!

    I am about to start a new email with someone else! You can no longer delete by clicking on the trash can for each and every email!! If you do not move the mouse before selecting delete, it will open the email you are trying to delete!! This is time consuming to have to move the mouse to bring up the trash can on every email! Such a pain in fact, that I now have over 1,500 messages waiting to delete!! And you did away with Classic view, and stuck us with this?

  20. Add deletion boxes to each email

    The previous email version had boxes to the left of the email that could be checked for deletion. The current version doesnt have them. There are small icons and buttons. Neither of which allows for deletion.
