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!

  1. More like old version. Better font or give font choices. Show defined month headings in email scroll

    The new format actually hurts my eyes, as in, it physically strains my eyes, making it hard to look at and read.
    The new format also doesn't divide the email scroll into defined months, making it harder to find older emails.
    The font is hard to read because it is so stark and unpleasant.

    It isn't good.

  2. Keep Folders file open.

    Still cannot keep the Folders file open at all times in the sidebar. Now I need to do three clicks instead of one, to move a message to a folder. Very annoying--does "new" mean more umbersome? I hate to change to google mail, but I must say I really dislike the new Yahoo.

  3. stop the pop-ups

    If you don't stop giving pop-ups of all the great new features and streaks in Yahoo mail, I may stop using it all together. I go there for email, not to be bombarded by useless distractions.

  4. Get rid of the frigging white space between messages in the header list view

    Get rid of all the white space when viewing the list of messages in a mailbox. Not all of us is using this service on a touch device!

  5. Here are a few ideas....

    1. Allow list of emails (those I own) to move back to the top left sidebar. Currently they are difficult to see, hard to remember which one I'm in and take an added step to open them. I use all of mine in one day.. and appreciated seeing the new message count next to each box ... as it was previously in the old design,
    2. I don't know what it is but it's much harder to see simple things (the trash can at the top or which one is the move icon, etc) or distinguish between messages than it use to…

  6. Allow for more customization of the inbox design

    I have been using yahoo mail for 27 years -- at times paying for Yahoo Mail Plus -- and I have been happy all these 27 years till now. I do not like the functionality of the new redesign. And after a quarter of a century, I am considering a switch to Tutanota or ProtonMail as I am willing to pay for a better interface.

    The primary issue with the redesign is that it is cluttered and makes it difficult to scan quickly for information. I am shocked that there are not more options for tailoring the design to one's…

  7. Placement of Mailboxes

    I want to be able to see my Mailboxes at the top of the left hand side so I can easily switch between the two of them. Can I move it to the top?

  8. Bring back the function to block unsafe/ dangerous emails immediately

    Bring back the feature to block unsafe or dangerous emails instantly. Yahoo Mail is allowing scammers to harass vulnerable users with their constant messages.

  9. still don't want to deal with the new style

    Please give the option to use the old style. I will continue to write everyday I see this. I truly loathe it and can only continue to use my email from my phone. I prefer to use the computer but can't deal with the new look.

  11. The folders I had in my inbox in the "old" Yahoo mail are now gone

    I created folders within my inbox but with the switch to the new Yahoo mail, they are gone, so I have lost many, many emails and now I don't have a way to get them back.

  13. Mailbox view

    I have four mailboxes that I use daily. I do not like the placement of the dropdown menu at the bottom left of the screen to cycle through my mailboxes. Messages are not being read because I cannot see the unopened emails in each box like I used to be able to. Please move this display or revert to the original view.

  14. Sorting

    I find it hard to find emails by day/date. I would love to see the ability to have a header that indicates today, yesterday, other days of the week, week later estc. Maybe that is coming with compact view, but i feel like that should have been ready before launching. I actually prefer the old version.

  16. make it disability friendly

    New layout is terrible. Different fonts, etc. Such discrimination against dyslexic people. The person who developed it is absolutely unprofessional. Return the old layout please

  20. Open "ALL" in Inbox

    The new version opens "Primary" in the Inbox. It should open "All." This is really annoying because many more incoming emails show up in "All." Is there any way for the user to control this?
