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.

*Those asking about going back to the old version. Unfortunately, if you do not see the "Go Back" button you cannot go back. We really hope you'll try the new experience! Thanks!



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. So slow it is unusable

    It's been a week and I've disabled any features that slow down the experience, but this is still unbearably slow and unusable. It totally ruins yahoo email. I've had to resort to using my iPhone or iPad instead because this web interface is terrible. THIS IS NOT AN IMPROVEMENT. THIS IS NOT A BETTER PRODUCT.

  2. There's nothing about New Mail that I like. Sorry, I prefer Outlook and Gmail, where I can go directly to my inbox without the "primaries."

  3. Move icon

    The move to a folder icon is in 2 different places when you are looking at your inbox or in an open email. Put them in the same place for easier navigation

  5. The new yahoo look is severely awful

    The new yahoo mail update is too heavy and drastically slowing down the computers specially the old ones also it is really difficult to work with. Changing the look is something annoying, but what makes it worst is, you remove the option of shifting that to its previous look. All my family members have shifted from yahoo to google.

  8. Allow users to disable colors in the circles to group email senders

    Please add an option in Yahoo mail Appearance settings to turn off the colored sender circles/avatars(Aplphatars) I prefer a clean, neutral inbox without the different colored circles> Please allow users to disable the colors without disabling other contact or email features.

  12. How about not deleting all of our things when we have been a long time user

    I have been using this site for over a decade. Unfortunately, life happened and I got sidetracked by all sorts of issues. I finally come back and everything is gone. All of my important files and emails.. I had saved over the years all gone because I have not logged in for a year. This is messed up. I have used yahoo for such a long time. I am so disappointed and now I am wondering if I should even continue using any services through you. I am also going to warn everyone I know who uses this service that…

  14. Inability to manually train or override Primary Category tab assignment (Two-way Primary vs. Inbox sorting)

    Issue Type: User Experience (UX) / Functional Limitation
    Summary: When Inbox Categories (Primary, Deals, Social, Newsletters) are active, Yahoo Mail lacks a mechanism for users to manually train or reclassify senders across tabs. Users cannot promote a secondary/general email to "Primary", nor can they reclassify a "Primary" email back out to general inbox view for future incoming messages. Standard user interactions—such as drag-and-drop, context menus, and rule filtering—either fail silently or offer no destination targets for Category tabs.Steps to Reproduce:Enable Inbox Categories in Yahoo Mail settings.Attempt Move to Primary: Try dragging or moving an email from a secondary tab (Deals,…

  17. Sort UNREAD Emails BY SENDER NAME

    I HAVE REQUESTED FOR MONTHS TO HAVE THE UNREAD OR THE INBOX SORT UNREAD BY SENDERS NAME AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

    MARILYN J YOUR SR. COMMUNITY MANAGER SENT ME AN EMAIL ASKING FOR MORE INFORMATION ON JULY 31ST. I RESPONDED AND SENT OTHER EMAILS TRYING TO FOLLOW UP BUT SHE HASNT RESPONDED OR NO ONE HAS FOLLOWED UP. WHY IS THIS SO HARD WHEN SORTING BY SENDER NAME WOULD BE EASY TO ADD AND EASIER FOR A USER WHO USES YAHOO. DO BETTER.

  19. Give senior citizens a super easy email to use.

  20. Make the interface less jumpy - things jump around SO MUCH

    The new Yahoo mail is incredibly jumpy on the browser version. Tabs make the whole page jump around when you need multiple emails open. Scrolling down past the emails shown on the screen causes the whole thing to jump and 'burp' and loses its place that is difficult to find again. Switching between folders, and back to inbox it also is jumpy.

    Need more differentiation between read and unread emails, just the slight bold for unread emails does not make an easily identifiable way to tell which are unread. Since everything appears closer in colors to everything else now it…
