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. Block Multiple Users In Spam Box

    In the spam box, in the old email ui, i was able to select all the emails and block all the email addresses in one click. now, that option is missing from the mailbox and within the individual emails themselves. That option needs to be brought back. I have a very old email address that has been stolen and sold probably thousands of times by now. i do not have the time to copy every single email address the manually add them to my block list that i have to navigate to through my settings. not sure why that ability…

  2. Accidental click is all you can get

    NO ONE has ever seen an ad and clicked on it on purpose. I can't wait to switch my email to a different dot com because you are out of control with this garbage.

  3. Show all email addresses

    With the old Yahoo email I could see at a glance whether any of my four email addresses had unread messages.

    The new Yahoo mail only shows one email address at a time and I have to move the mouse cursor over the current email address to pull up a menu to see the other addresses. Even when I do pull up the menu it doesn't show which email addresses have unread messages. This is a real step backward for the user interface.

    The currently selected email address is also in a bad location at the bottom of the window.…

  5. Re-establish allowing email delete without clicking

    Prior to new rollout, one could delete an email with the email simply highlighted, without having to click the box, then delete. Could you bring back the delete "garbage can" to the viewing menu?

  6. WHY THE **** IS IT SO HARD TO SWITCH ACCOUNT MAILBOXES NOW???

    Seriously? Before it was highlight your damned profile icon, then click the other account that showed up. Now it's forced under must click icon, scroll down, click swap, click next bloody account. WHY????? There's a reason people don't use windows 11, and you've just gone and taken one of the most used things by people who have more than one mailbox and added extra steps, and on top of that forced to do security each time already!

  7. improve the contrast and visual appearance to make it more legible, decrease the percentag of screen area dominated by ads

    improve the contrast from light grey text on an off-white background and the actual text font to make it legible - this is very difficult to see and read.

    with the entire right half of the screen ad banner and the ad banner across the top it really leaves no room for actually reading emails

  8. ALLOW users to decide how the layout looks more like how it's looked for years!!!!

    This new look is a very bad look. It's too bad Yahoo doesn't care or consider its longtime users!!!

  10. Calendar Icon

    Why do I have to click on more and then click on calendar? So, your new design has me making more clicks not less. UGH! Put a calendar icon next to the settings Icon.

  12. Make reading emails easy again!

    When you changed where the calendar button is you completely screwed up how one looks at email. Now, instead of two small columns and a large third one that you can read your email in, there is on the right side a massive empty column that just eats up space.

    Makes it impossible to read some emails without scrolling right to left.

    Horrible design, you must fix asap.

  14. delineate mail by dates the email was received. it's very annoying not to be able to see the received date at a quick glance

    Delineate mail by dates the email was received. It's very annoying not to be able to see the received date at a quick glance. I know that you are pandering to a younger audience but please give some consideration to the older folks who do not like change.

  15. Appearance

    I now have four columns in yahoo mail. The mailboxes, the email list, the preview and a odd 'settings/more' column. Please REMOVE this fourth odd column. It does nothing and I would rather have the space to see the whole email.

  16. Make the block on the right minimizable or removable for the contacts/notes.

    The look causes the actual readable section of the screen for mail to be significantly small compared to the screen size. Making the font-zoom causes more information to be viewable, but the size then makes it impossible to work efficiently.

  17. Get rid of the STUPID achievements

    Gamifying email is the DUMBEST update you've ever done. Nevermind how ugly the new email interface looks, why fix something that's not broke? But I DO NOT WANT stupid achievement updates every time I check my email! Why would I want achievements for my email in the first place? Bafflingly stupid, and annoying as all *. you better hope I can disable this *, or else I will finally, after almost 30 years, give up on yahoo email.
