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. Ad Placement

    I don't like how the ads look bold like unread messages mixed into my list of emails.

  2. It would be great if Yahoo could address security concerns.

    Why couldn't someone answer my question?
    48. Agent said
    Hover over your address in an email in your mailbox and click on "Add to contacts". Create a saved contact for your own address and edit the name that appears so it's correct.

  4. Stop with the god dam pop-ups ands notifications.

    Little windows popping up telling me things I didn't ask for an know. It's distracting making me think I need to take action when I really don't. I have to look to see what's going on and...
    "Oh nothing is fraking going on! It's just your package is on the way today!"
    No shiz, Sherlock! I already know!
    I'd love to know what you changed besides the look and useless dumba$$ notifications. Calm this thing down. It's more active than my colon.

  5. Let us decide which format WE would like to have, not FORCE us to bend to your choice of format. We have been navigating very well previous

    Let us decide which format WE would like to have, not FORCE us to bend to your choice of format. We have been navigating very well previously. New ideas are not best for everyone who may not be as astute to new technology! Some segments of the population do not like change! It is not always what we want, or need.

  6. Does not work properly

    Once again Yahoo has forced this useless change on me. Now once again my email doesn't function properly. From what I understand this time there is no going back to the functional version. Over twenty years of using the email that worked now just stopped.

  7. Date divider

    Please add date dividers like there was on the old email starting on the left side. Visually, it was faster to know when emails came through on separate dates, now we have to go and look at each individual email and which date it came on.

  9. seamless delete

    in the old yahoo mail, when we delete an email by hovering it on the list, we can simply click it again to delete the next one, the current new yahoo mail requires us to slightly move the mouse pointer before the prompt for delete appears. it would be nice if we can have a seamless delete similar to how it works

  10. Look and feel

    This new look and feel is on the childish side. It would be nice if we could a mail service that looks like it was made for professionals.

  12. Remove third/fourth tab (calendar, starred, contacts etc)

    I have no need to view the third/fourth tab that has calendar, contacts, starred links - so it uselessly takes up a good chunk of my laptop's screen. I want it gone and I cannot see any option to remove it from my screen.

  13. Blocking Senders

    Why did you have to make it so hard to block spam senders?! I used to just be able to select all of my spam at one time and click "Block Senders". Now you have made that impossible and made it very hard to do multiple emails at one time.

  15. Drop-down menu item "Block Sender & Delete Email" in Spam Folder

    Where has the option to block spam senders email addresses gone? That was a very useful feature that now is no longer available from the drop-down menu - instead we have to copy the sender email address and manually add it to the blocked senders list under "Privacy & Security" - that is not an improvement.

    Why did you move the block senders feature to the settings menu? I used to be able to do that in the inbox. The new way is terrible, please change it back.

  18. new redesign idea

    What if, instead of a login page, you just have a link directing people to sign up for a gmail. Because that is what I am doing now.

    Nobody ******* wants this redesign. And I'm over dealing with your company.

  19. You can improve Yahoo Mail by leaving it alone.

    Yesterday when I checked email I could see numerous emails on my screen and today the amount I can see with out scrolling is reduced to about 7. The print is much bigger, I guess you think my vision diminished since yesterday. So now instead of quickly checking emails I have to scroll 4 or more times as much to see all that came in since I last checked. I get so tired of your inefficient so called improvements. If I didn't have so much to change in contacts I would stop Yahoo mail and find another source.

  20. Layout degraded

    The latest "update" has once again reduced the viewable area. All I want is to be able to see the most rows of emails, without clutter and "pretty" borders. Please consider an optional "minimalist" layout.
