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



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

  2. The previous version was much better, with the default sort order grouping items by years, months, weeks, and days

  3. Major mistake

    Remove ALL AI from the platform.
    I have reported before during previews how bad the new design is. Now it is exactly like the bad version of Gmail that we left. You should be different, not the same. That is why we were here to begin with.
    Stop messing with something that worked
    I guess it is time for me to migrate all of my Yahoo accounts to another service.

  4. Please stop trying to make your Yahoo Mail look like Gmail

    Hi, I absolutely HATE losing classic Yahoo. If I wanted my primary inbox to look just like Gmail I'd be using the Gmail that I have to use for work. This may finally get me to stop using Yahoo altogether after about 25 years.

  5. Read mail font and color

    Hello,
    There is not enough immediate differentiation between read and unread messages. You use bold, but the standard font is already thick so you have to strain to see if something has already been read or not. Change the read email font color to about a 75% gray in addition to the bold, and that might make the unread messages stand out a bit more.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

  6. Unused spaces

    There is too much unused spaces on top of the emails. Top boxes needs to shrinked so that we can more reading space.

  7. sorting in folders

    You used to be able to select emails, tap D on the keyboard (on desktop) and tap a number to move them into a folder; now that number option is not functioning

  9. Disable search, return email folder hotkeys for moving emails.

    I don't need to search for folders when I want to move my emails when I hit D. I want to be able to hit D, then hit a number key corresponding with a folder so that I can quickly send emails to a folder.

    Maybe make this a toggle in settings.

  10. using yahoo email on a 17" screen

    I have a 17" laptop and was very happy with yahoo classic email.
    With the new look, yahoo is using more whitespace, bigger fonts, huge buttons, etc etc... so my 17" screen now feels like a 13".

    I understand the industry thinks all users are getting dumber and dumber and can't cope with anything not looking like a kids toy with big bright buttons.... but come on.... surely you are better then that ?

    Or is this the latest push to make users dump yahoo and go elsewhere?

  11. Smaller/More Compact

    Everything is too big and bubbly. There is too much happening and is overwhelming to look at. I prefer the classic version.

  15. How much do I hate the new format? Let me count the ways ...

    The pre-set font size is too small. To enlarge it for comfortable reading leaves a small rectangle of "page" space for reading the mail.

  19. Why, Why, Why do you think you need to make changes?

    I have been using Yahoo Mail for many many years. And every other year or so, you just have to change the layout and move buttons around, thinking you are "improving" something. Trouble is, there is bp improvements. You just make changes. WHY do you keep trying to fix something thant isn't broken. BTW, it looks just like GMail now. And I hate GMail

  20. Folder names text wrapping

    The left folder panel on the desktop version is too narrow and locked. I cannot see the full names of my folders anymore - my only option has been to drastically decrease the viewing size of the entire page, and that does not fully resolve. Can the folder names text wrap instead of being truncated? Is there a way to increase the capability of the left panel expansion, decrease the reading panel, but with limitations. Can the left and middle panel negotiate space within a greater width without impacting the right panel being locked for advertisements? Thank you.
