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!

Thank you! 💜

  2. I have a 30" monitor, and have to scroll the email side to side

    Please, at least make it wide enough so I don't have to scroll side to side to see an email.
    This is annoying enough, if not fixed I'll base everything in gmail ... I don't mind new things, so long as they are improvements. This is not that.
    All you'd have to do is make the menu on the left collapse/uncollapseable so we can see one or the other in full.

  3. Sort By Sender in Spam Folder

    You have taken away my ability to sort my Spam folder by title or sender. And I am not using the "Categories" feature at all! Now it is extremely difficult to wade through the massive amounts of Spam to find that one message that should not be in there! You are NOT improving your interface or ease of use.

  4. Filters

    Please change the filter option back to the way it was before the new yahoo mail update. Before we could choose to filter in the menu bar. Now we have to enter the sender name, enter the sender email, etc. It is so cumbersome & time consuming, I am considering switching to a new email service b/c this is no longer conveniet to use. Please consider changing back to the way it was before.

  5. Moving email from inbox to folders

    Using Brave on MacOS Sequoia 15.7 (if it matters). Please bring back the keyboard shortcuts to move email from inbox (or current folder) to folder. Shift+d ("D") should bring up the folder list with the cursor in the the search bar. "d" should bring up the folder list with the number of the folder, e.g., d then 2 for the second folder in list.

    Without this feature, I'm going back to classic.

  6. Make Filters or Rules an easy option from the INBOX

    When I open an email from my INBOX, how can I create a "rule" to send all future mails from that sender into a specific folder? Going to the "filter" option isn't intuitive....I'd like to have an easy way to create a rule/filter from directly inside an email, or maybe when an email is selected from the INBOX. Thanks.

  7. Allow user to tighten vertical spacing between entries

    The new mailbox display looks too much like Gmail and includes one element that made me prefer Yahoo: I could previously see many more of my incoming emails listed on the opening display for each mailbox. It would be nice to be able to see more emails listed on a single screen WITHOUT just making the type smaller. The old version displayed at least a third more entries, which was useful to a person like me who gets at least 75 new emails many days.

  8. accessability fail

    people with visual acuity problems can't focus on a hovered menu dialog. like the 'filter by sender' button that has disappeared. change for the sake of change is not always a good thing. in fact, this particular brain storm is more like a brain ****. removing that sender filter makes your service harder to use by a quantum factor. having that filter button gone may make the design "look sleeker," but it's disappearance makes your service much harder to use. your sauce is weak. try harder. thans

  9. stop thinking you're creative and provide functionality

    again you have proven you can make your email product worse with the new layout.
    do any of you admit in public you work for yahoo? do you see successful companies implement anything you do?
    start listening to dummies like me who regrettably still pay for this service.
    try and redeem yourself

  11. Changes Badly Needed

    Please bring back the Classic Wide font!. And your font selection does not appear to be stable at this point (e.g. the same size selection results in very different size fonts depending on factors I can't figure out -- very frustrating). Also you have reduced the size window for displaying emails and the comparison with a Gmail screen is striking. To keep users on board you really need to increase the size of that display window. And I have repeatedly tried to turn off the inbox categorization feature without success -- even a computer reboot did not result in the…

  12. Click and drag to folder

    I need to click and drag to a new folder like the old email and not go through all of the menus. Tell your IT people to quit screwing up the email.

  16. Get rid of the larger space between each email link. Make more emails visible on the screen.

    I want to see a listing of more emails at once. Now there is so much space between each email, leading to the need to waste time scrolling more. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!"

  17. New look makes it difficult to switch accounts

    I have 4 emails all under one account and with this new layout you can't see all of your other emails and if any inboxes have unread messages without going to the bottom left and hovering over it! Terrible new update
