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! 💜

  1. Basically change it back to old yahoo mail because this has improved nothing and made everything worse

    Literally everything about this change is horrible. Aside from being ugly as sin, the greatest sin is the grossly inefficient use of space - previous version gave me 15 e-mails on screen vs only 11 now. And the menu down the left, I literally cannot even see my folders anymore without scrolling while before I had EVERYTHING visible at once.

    And worst of all, I can no longer middle-click anything out into a new tab or get it with a right click or via any other method that I can see. You've straight up made the entire thing non-functional, brilliant…

  2. Delete or Disable Circle Sender Icons!

    I'm sorry. I don't want to seem picky or ungrateful, especially, when you've provided me a free email account for over 20 years. I understand that, ultimately, it's your platform and you can do whatever you want with it's design. However, if you want some honest feedback. I really dislike the skittle colored circle sender icons next to each and every mail message. I feel it really clutters the whole message view. Would love an option to turn off those icons and just have a plain list for a clean look. I tried to revert back to the old yahoo…

  3. Gmail

    It seems that Yahoo wants me to use Gmail instead of Yahoo Mail. Strange, because I have used Yahoo Mail Plus for many years. I can't understand why you would discourage us loyal users from using the service by taking away the email interface we all know and love.
    Gmail, here I come.

  4. I want my mail to look back to way it was before this ugly new change

    I want my mail to look back to the way it was before this ugly new change. I tried yesterday to reject and change it back to the old look, but it is still the same ugly eyesore today. What is going on with you people?

  5. Reduce padding

    There is so much wasted screen space in the new UI. Either give the user more control about how the screen is laid out or reduce the padding between elements. So little of the actual email content is displayed on the screen.

  6. Get Rid of New Yahoo Mail

    It's hard to read, both in Light and Dark modes. Old Yahoo Mail was fine. Revert back.

  7. Better readability

    hi guys, appreciate the 'free' product and am obviously partial to the old UI.

    I get we're not going back to classic mode but can you create something that enhances readability/processing, call it an accessibility feature etc, because this larger/bloated font and ui is really grating, it's not something to just 'get used to'...it's a step backwards for visual engagement and productivity.

    I already switched to compact mode and lowered the zoom on my browser to 90% but it's still poor. I hope you consider adding simple visual enhancements that improve engagement with your product.

  9. I hate the new yahoo mail

    Seriously! Does anyone at Yahoo use Yahoo mail? I can't even see the full message because if all of the junk and inability to reduce the huge bars. This is ridiculous!

  12. Change back to basic view or allow user the option

    I hate the new update this time, just like I did the last time you tried this format. Why can't you let us use the old basic mail format still. I am afraid I will have to start using a different email system, this update is horrible and is way too cluttered and hard to read. It is much more enjoyable to view email in a simple format. Please change back or allow the option to switch back, as it was the last time you rolled this version out. Please let me know if you plan on making this permanent.…

  13. Folder wheel sucks

    While I absolutely detest the new look, I absolutely miss having all my folders open on the side for filing away. The click-and-drag through the wheel of folders can easily lead to selecting the wrong folder by mistake.

  15. Dry run for buttons on e-mail

    I'm hesitant to click on buttons such as "Unsubscribe" or "Track Package" because I don't know what they would do (as well as because they are an annoyance, covering up text on the screen). It would be nice if there was a dry run option where I could see what would actually happen.

    I guess "Track Package" would open a link to a tracking page on USP or Fedex.com. But how do I know this? The bottom line of Chrome doesn't show the link like it does if I hover my mouse over a hyperlink within an e-mail.

    I should…

  16. E-mail lists not working

    E-mail lists can't be added to e-mail messages. I have to manually add each individual address into the address slot. Very inconvenient compared to the other more stable version.

  17. Block obvious spam

    Previous version allowed users to block and delete spam messages. It would be better if Yahoo! were able to delete obvious spam messages being sent from compromised email addresses, but if that can't be done the it would be good to restore the ability for the user to block these nuisance messages, and therefore to remove the limit on blocked senders.

  18. Change read and star status with just a click

    These features of the previous version were very helpful.
    Now is very frustrating to select the message and click the appropriate button!
    And where is the close button of the open message???

  19. Restore Inbox Toolbar and Allow Customisation of Email Actions

    Please give users the option to customise the email action toolbar, including which buttons are displayed and their order.

    The new Yahoo Mail hides frequently used actions such as Archive under the three-dot menu when viewing an email, adding unnecessary clicks.

    The action toolbar has also been removed from the top of the inbox and other folders, only appearing when an email is selected.

    Please consider:
    *Allowing users to choose which actions are permanently visible when viewing an email, rather than hiding frequently used functions under the three-dot menu.
    * Restoring the action toolbar at the top of the inbox…

  20. Allow individual emails to be opened

    After a long, frustrating attempt to find a way to switch back to the old Yahoo Mail, I figured I'd share this:

    We were allowed to middle click an email from the inbox and have it opened in a new tab before. Now that is not an option. Having this implemented MIGHT prevent me from switching my life to Gmail.
