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!



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. restore single click icons like Calendar

    Bring back the single click icon for Calendar - - using a pull down to get to it is a PAIN!!!!

    Also you new front end is VERY slow to respond compared to the old version - - so not an upgrade

  2. Make it customizable

    The bright white or the black are both just awful. You should have themes or at least a color palette. I truly hate it the way it is now. So much that I may leave and go to gmail.

  4. Fix email so you can read an email without using your hands

    I don't know how to accomplish but I'd like to open an email and read it without having to move the email from left to right. I'm on the verge of using Yahoo Mail as my junk email address and changing to gmail as my primary. I've had Yahoo for decades and really don't want to do that.

  5. I cannot unset third-party verification to login

    I dont want to use my phone or login to another email address to sign in to Yahoo! Today I was required to do that. Its ridiculous ... but the worst part is there's seemingly NO WAY to disable 2-factor identification.

  6. Question about my yahoo mail

    Why can't I switch my yahoo mail back to basic or classic mail even though I cleared the cache and clicked on button setting and more setting, but the basic mail option does not show? My account is spwl20017@yahoo.com.

  10. help button

    Add a help button, because your site is impossible to figure out without help.
    I want to edit contacts, but there is no way to get that done with what you provide.

  11. There is no tab to choose a theme for this new yahoo mail

    On the former yahoo I had a choice to choose a theme banner around my page. That I enjoyed. This new yahoo my screen is just black and it is boring....boring enough for me to search for another email supplier

  12. Get rid of the stupid achievements

    Nobody really wanted to have their inbox act like a game and have achievements. Whoever thought that was a good idea should be fired. It is meant to be functional. If anything allow more freedom in the layout, including moving that new panel to the right side that simply serves mostly for ads. I would much prefer it under the inbox so that I get the full width since many emails scroll left/right now that the panel is to the right taking up real estate unless I raise my resolution to where my eyes hurt.

  13. Delete Multiple Emails

    Since the new version, I cannot select multiple emails to delete at once on one condition.

    It only happens if I select the top email, press shift, then select an email further down at the bottom.
    It works fine if I do it in reverse? Not sure why, but its a little irritating

  15. Disable streaks or achievements

    Yahoo. You are email. Just let us do email things. I don't care or want streaks or achievements. You're not a game. Why is this even a thing?? I don't want you reading receipts, I don't want streaks for opening email. I use you for work. You're not a toy. Just let us go back to how it was!!

  17. After replying New Mail takes you to the top of your Inbox

    Another issue with New Mail vs Classic Yahoo Mail.....
    You reply to an email from a few weeks ago, and after you click "send", you are taken back to the top of your Inbox rather than right where that email was at from a few weeks ago.
    You then have to scroll, scroll, scroll, to get back down to find that email you replied to in order to move it to a folder, delete it, or something else.
    With Classic Yahoo Mail - it takes you right back to that email and date-range, after you reply and hit 'send'.

  19. Why can't I open email attachments on the mobile app after updating to the new version of Yahoo Mail?

    After updating to the latest version of the Yahoo Mail app on my iPhone, I can no longer open email attachments. It displays a notification saying: "UNABLE TO PREVIEW, UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD THIS ATTACHMENT, PLEASE TRY AGAIN." I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app, as well as logging out and logging back in numerous times; however, it only works briefly—showing the old interface and allowing me to open files—before switching to the new interface, at which point I can no longer open attachments.
