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!




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




Thank you! 💜

  1. FIX THE SEARCH

    your new update sucks in the search. Used to be could use advance to narrow down search by putting what folder I wanted. Now I have to go to each folder then search. stupid.
    The mailbox filter is supposed to appear in Advanced Search, but it isn’t showing
    is missing in both Edge and Chrome

  4. email window height

    So, Yahoo has just unveiled new mail. Much about it does not seem that different, although everything is brighter (I had a decorative background on mine previously). But what I'm most surprised you didn't change is the height of the email window. You take up (and always have) so much room at the top of the page for a search bar and some button and then the mail navigation, then the header of the email. Allllll of that then very little room for the thing I am there for: The email. Why would you not change that. That space at…

  6. UI / Recipients

    After opening an Email in the Inbox, it could be shown more clearly whether the user is the only recipient or whether the message was addressed to others as well. That way, it would easier to see the recipients and choose the appropriate reply method. Currently, it shows only in small greyed out font "and one other". Thanks!

  7. Bug with CTRL-Enter shortcut and subject line

    The new UI has a bug when typing the subject. If I type letters on the subject line and IMMEDIATELY hit CTRL-ENTER to send the email, it will send it with no subject at all. I have to do something else before hitting CTRL-ENTER to get it to take. Either click the mouse in the body or if I click "Send".. This is a bug. The previous UI didn't do this. This is on Chrome on Windows. (didn't test it elsewhere)

  9. Buttons across top of email list

    For one - stop trying to look like Gmail. Yuck. People like it more if it looked like Outlook and was compact/streamlined.

    Two - why is there no buttons/navigation bar across the top of the list like before? As well as you can open tabs of emails? Maybe that's three but please bring those back.

  10. Where is the block & delete senders from the Spam folder?

    Before this 'newest' iteration of Yahoo mail, you could mark spam and right click to choose to permanently delete the sender. Where is this function now?

  12. email preview should be more wider

    email preview should be more wider or flexible to adjust its width according to the requirement , There should be an option to auto filter emails and moved to the appropriate folder from emails keywords or from senders just like outlook.

  13. New Email Search is Too Limiting

    Give me back the old version. This version has a Search that is limited. I used the option "Has the words" or whatever it was called, often, but now finding something is much harder and time consuming.

  14. You listened to feedback about new look, thanks

    Going back a year or year-and-half ago, Yahoo was trying to get people to switch to the new view for email, but back then, it was horrible. I gave feedback several times, mainly about the "read" vs "unread" being horrible (grey shade making page unreadable), and the waste of real estate (in list mode, you could only see a few words of the mail's subject line, vs the classic mode which showed much more). The right sidebar for ads was way too big back then, like 50% bigger than classic.
    Now that we are being forced to switch over, I…

  15. Get the ads out of the middle of my emails.

    Put them at the end of the emails. They are distracting and they slow down my progress during the hours I need to work effiiently.

  17. email

    Hi

    Your new email design is so painful. why change the user interface. i use this for work. to start. in your dark mode the unread and read is almost identical. there are no lines separating emails between days. youve doubled the size of the advertising on right hand side. you have moved the mailbox to the bottom befreo it was was visible on top and showed how many emails were unread. you ve moved the star to the right to make it less visible. youve hiddne the folders. you have done a terrible job with this new email. has…

  18. Please return to the prior UX design for the browser client

    You have missed the mark on UX design in your new browser-based email client. Gamification should be an option that can be turned off; I don't need/like/want it. I also can't wait for compact view as the font is absurdly large in the current version and it is difficult to discern bold (unread) message from read (not bold) messages. Please return the toolbar with action buttons and do not make me navigate into a message to apply actions like reply, delete, etc. You have also wasted an incredible amount of screen real estate on, well, nothing; there is substantial blank/dark…

  20. Please make the Paper clip Icon Actionable

    The paper clip used to take us to the attachment in the email. Bring back this feature, it was very helpful and we did not need to scroll down to the end of the message.
