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! 💜

  4. new graphical interface is extremely hard to read

    Poor readability and user experience with the new interface

    The new graphical interface is extremely hard to read and unintuitive. The contrast is too low, the text font causes eye strain, and the page layout feels cluttered and poorly organized compared to the previous version.

    A redesign should improve usability, not make it worse. Please improve the contrast and readability, or allow users to switch back to the classic layout.

  5. Sort by Sender

    -- Sort by "Sender" has disappeared. Very important function
    -- Dark Mode is too dark, whereby Unread emails are hardly distinguishable from the Read ones

    Thanks!

  6. If we search (example) "unsubsribe" containing emails to delet all in bulk at one shot, it allows only 25 to select and delete.

    there should be facility to delete specific emails as per user choice in bulk at one click. I have 20153 emails containing unsubscribe word. using 25 selection it will take very long time to delet it. please suggest

  9. URGENT: Yahoo account hacked — incoming emails automatically going to Trash

    My Yahoo account was compromised on October 19, 2026. Unauthorized activity originated from Nigeria.

    I have since changed my password, removed unauthorized recovery information, enabled two-step verification, and signed out all unidentified devices.

    I have verified there are no visible email filters, blocked addresses, or unfamiliar external connections.

    However, every new incoming email is automatically going directly to Trash, including messages from Gmail and Yahoo's own Mail Restore Team.

    Outgoing email works normally, and messages I manually restore from Trash remain in my Inbox.

    Please investigate the automatic deletion of incoming messages, including any server-side mailbox processing issues or unauthorized…

  10. Have differnt Star Colors

    I was thinking it would be great if the user could change the star color from just red. I personally star a tone of emails but they are for different things like work, purchase orders, medical and so on. So for example, I could star my work emails with a yellow star and for medical a blue star and so on. Just food for thought.

  11. BUG: PDF Preview Fails

    Attempting to preview a .PDF results in a screen that appears to start to render, then turns black. There is no way to scroll or see anything of the .PDF. The only option is to download the file and use another viewer.

  12. Problem with Contact Lists

    Hello. Ever since I was migrated from basic mail to the new version, my contact lists are not saving changes when I edit them. I have tried editing old contact lists created in Basic mail and also created new lists in the new mail version and both of them are dropping names from the list for no apparent reason.
    Please fix this issue. Members of my group are not receiving important emails.

  13. regarding spam messages and blocking email addresses

    i am receiving lots of spam messages. yahoo has removed the option to use block email address. i have to click see raw message select the email address and then manually add ever email address to block addresses. this too has limitations. first of all, spam and vulgar messages should be blocked by yahoo itself. or at least give us option to add as many as possible addresses to block address section. it has become a torture to use yahoo mail now a days. if there is no action taken on blocking vulgar spam messages and not giving an option…

    Hi Paola, can we please have a bit more info? Can you please elaborate? Are you writing an email and it saves as a draft and when you go back it's gone? We can't try and replicate because we definitely need more steps, context. Thanks.

  15. Streamling dealing with emails, especially deleting and moving

    I dont care for the new layout of mail. I can live with it. However, I really dislike the procedure now for sorting through and dealing with my mail. I cannot move multiple items to their store folder; i have to move each mail individually. I also hate the fact that i cannot just move my cursor down the timestamp and delete emails with one click. I now have to hover over each mail for that small pop-up bar, and then find the delete icon. It is way more time consuming. This issue is why i kept the 'old' yahoo…

  16. email contacts improvement

    when i start to type a previously used email address while composing a new email, yahoo mail will auto correct that email to a contact name. in multiple instances this auto generated contact name is incorrect. there needs to be a new contacts icon where auto generated contacts can be found and edited easily and quickly. after using ai and digging through many sub menus im still not finding the correct place to edit the auto generated email contact names.

  17. fix it to where it asks; don't see this again on features like fingerprint, connecting to other junk and fix signing in to be easy again

    I hate signing in now. I have to prove it's me. I'm ready to get rid of yahoo that I've had since email began in the 90's and find an easier one. I hate all the changes you have made. I don't want a different way to sign in and I don't want to have to prove it's me. It takes a long time just to get in and I fixed the button that says to stay verified and it doesn't work. It never works on any site. I hate all these changes. Why can't I put in my password…

  18. Viewing Pane Too Small

    Action item icons (reply, forward, delete, etc) should stay at the top of folder email contents, allowing more space for the reading pane.

  19. do not hide email addresses for my account

    I liked the last version where I could see my four email accounts and it showed if I had new emails, now you have them hidden unless I click on them at the left bottom of the screen, dumb thing to do
