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. restore horizontal separators between todays mail, current week, previous weeks/months

    It was very helpful to see the "calendar" at a glance. Now you need to examine each mail date and make the mental calculation. So bring that option back.
    Thanks

  3. layout

    The new reply/forward buttons are permanently taking up half of the screen on opening a post. It's causing people to see only a single line of the email.

  4. Inbox

    Crappiest looking inbox in the history of Email! Looks like fricking death, too dark, too light, too fricking plainn! If you're trying to lose customers, keep it up! This is the worst **** I've seen in my 20 plus years at Yahoo Mail! SUCKS! I EXPECT BETTER! ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO LOSE BUSINESS!

  5. Please, let us customize the color scheme like we did before!

    Why can we no longer customize colors for our viewing? All we get to choose from now is either black or white? Why give us all the other bells and whistles but take away a basic, pleasing perk? At least give us the Yahoo purple, PLEASE!!

  6. Attachments

    Can attachments in mails automatically preview without even clicking the preview button? it will help us not to click anymore to see what it contains instead of popping out a large window inside the yahoo mail. Hope it works, thank you.

  8. New calendar layout

    The new monthly calendar is MUCH HARDER TO READ than the old one!! Do not waste space with the colored dot for each entry. Set the background color like it used to be. Allow entries to wrap if there's enough space in the day block.

  9. re-allow "delete" icon to be active for next item down after a delete

    It used to work that way. Now you need to "wiggle" the mouse to re-activate "delete" after it scrolls down after deleting an email. Was more convenient that way since once you'd highlit delete subsequent deletes automatically popped up. Now you need to wiggle the mouse each time.

  11. Block spam option disappeared

    what happened to the ability to block spam addresses? It disappeared and as bad as your filtering has gotten in the past couple of months, it'd be nice to be able to block some of this stuff. IMPROVE YOUR SPAM FILTERS!!!!

  13. Deselect selected messages with up/down arrow keys

    With the old mail a feature I used all the time was selecting multiple messages then marking them as read. After I could click up or down arrow on the keyboard to deselect them. I now have to use my mouse to click the select all box twice to deselect all. Implementing this in the new version would be a huge time saver

  14. Deselect selected messages with up/down arrow keys

    One of the features I really liked in the old mail was if I had multiple messages selected to mark as read I could hit arrow up or down and it would de-select the messages. Now I have to go up to the select all and hit it twice with a mouse click where it is much easier to go up or down on the keyboard. Please implement this back into the new mail if we won't have the option of continuing to use the old (which i would prefer)

  15. Ditch AI

    I need an option to turn off AI slop. I don't need, it's wrong 98% of the time. It's less than useless. Get rid of it.

  16. Improvement Idea

    I want to share my feedback on the recent Yahoo Mail update. Removing the basic layout option has been frustrating and difficult for me to process and navigate. As a long-time user, I relied on a simpler view that was easy to manage, reliable, and predictable. I strongly request that Yahoo bring back the accessible, low-clutter viewing option for users who prefer a more streamlined interface.

  17. Yahoo Identity and Legacy

    Yahoo, you must find your own path and never forget that, over the years, we have remained in the same boat together - through both sunny and stormy days - and that we have always found a way. We all go through changes in life, but it is essential not to lose our identity by becoming a mere copy of our competitors, just for the sake of short-term gratification. A truly timeless brand inspires confidence through its classic interface that we alll loved, rather than obscuring it behind transient clutter.

  18. You did an excellent job!

    I first came here to complain of the new look, but then saw your TIPS section. You were able to provide the new features and look for the younger generation and still give the rest of us the ability to mostly keep it looking like it used to. Bravo, and thank you!

  20. Make multiple inboxes viewable onscreen at once

    Seeing all my linked inboxes in the top left made it much easier to see which ones had unread emails to attend to and made it much more convenient to swap between them. I would love to have some semblance of this feature again
