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.

  1. Please allow a block option in the drop down menu for spam messages. It is in inbox messages but not spam, where it would be more useful.

  2. Marking an email "AD"

    By marking an email with "AD" in the selection box we can no longer delete or move that email to the spam folder, it just opens the website for the ad now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. Yahoo setting the inbox as 'Priority' instead of 'All'

    What a dumb idea.
    How does Yahoo know what is a priority for me or not??
    Why does Yahoo make more work for me to have to continuously every single time I go to my mail press the 'All' button??
    Hate this.
    Really, really hate this.

  6. Help with TIPS

    to disable inbox categories you mention to go to Settings - Inbox Categories, but unfortunately I do not have the Inbox Categories on my HP computer. I have looked through the categories on the left but cannot find Inbox Categories. How can I go back to just one category. In fact, all the TIPS mentioned above I cannot change on my end. I liked the old version better...

  7. Return the sent by and to lines

    One way to quickly see that an email is fake is to notice the sender's address. That instead of say Google.com the address is something.edu, or q9ghq[gihq3inbhojq3qhojsopbjp@yahoo.com

    Instant recognition is now gone. YOU ARE PROMOTING FAKE/SPAM EMAIL.
    STOP IT. STOP IT.

  8. Restore old contacts!

    Restore all the contacts that I had in the old form. I cannot email family members now because this new form has lost several of those contacts. This is inexcusable.

  9. Ability to expand the left folder pane width

    The current inability to expand the width of the left pane (folders) to see more of the folder name is a complete FAILURE as far as I am concerned.

  10. Email content in list

    On the older Yahoomail you could set it so that you cannot see the content of the email within your inbox. You would only see the sender and the subject. The new version does not have this option. I prefer this style for many reasons. Seeing the content of one mail while working on something else is a distraction for me. Also, sometimes I don't want to immediately see the content of an email - for example, if I am attending to person things and get a work related mail. It can make the whole process of using Yahoomail less…

  11. When I try and click on the image preview icon in my email list to view the picture without opening the email, I get a pop up that covers it

    see above...there is a pop-up that totally obscures the image preview icon in my email list when I hover over the picture preview button.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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

  20. 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
