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.

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

    Seniors have difficulty navigating and using anything new on their computers. Giving them the OPTION of keeping the classic email would alleviate much anxiety and frustration. Please think of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. 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…

  3. Ads can be deleted like any other message in IN box

    I realize you're trying to force users to pay $5 per month to upgrade, but as a former comcast email user this really makes me mad...

  5. Additional feature to Search your mail

    The current Search your mail feature performs a comprehensive search across all folders, including subfolders. It would be beneficial to have an Inbox‑only option that allows users to exclude subfolder results and limit the search to the main Inbox.

  8. Return the themes you had before!

    Where are the themes you used to have? I can't stand this new look. The only options are light or dark and no way to go back to the old Yahoo Mail.

  9. 24 hour availability to restore mail

    Don't offer an option to restore mail if it is available 24/7.

    Yahoo Mail deleted the original message when I deleted the draft message I was forwarding. Nothing in Trash. Nothing in Sent although I had forwarded the original message to a different party. Nothing inTrash. The message was completely deleted.

  10. Sub-folder levels are not clearly shown, it looks mixing up with Folders.

    Folders can be bolded or use different colors to denote Folders, Sub-folders and Sub-sub-folders.

  11. Not Receiving Flickr Verification Codes to my Yahoo Mailbox!

  12. Yahoo Mail cannot send or receive emails

    Yahoo Mail cannot send or receive emails. Incoming messages are rejected with SMTP error 552 5.2.2 “mailbox full”, although storage shows only 7.4 GB used and the app shows 7.43 GB of 1 TB with 99% available. I already reduced storage from about 10 GB to 7.4 GB and emptied Trash. Please investigate the mailbox quota/provisioning status on the server side.

  13. Light mode does not work – inbox remains dark

    Light mode does not work in New Yahoo Mail

    Since my account was forced to switch to the New Yahoo Mail, the mailbox remains in Dark Mode even when I select Settings → Appearance → Light.

    The Settings panel itself correctly changes between Light and Dark, but when I return to the mailbox/inbox, the mailbox remains black.

    I have tested this on two completely different computers:

    • Mac with Safari — Yahoo Mail remains dark even when macOS Appearance is set to Light.
    • Windows PC with a light system theme — Yahoo Mail also remains dark.
    • I also tested Automatic

  15. Why try improving something that isn't broken?!

    This "new" version of Yahoo mail is RIDICULOUS!!! It's slow! It's chunky! It's severely flawed in so many ways, it's impossible to sit here and describe them all! The question is why? Why for the love of God, would you change what we had before to this nonsense?! It makes absolutely zero sense! Instead, of wasting time on trying out new wall papers, why not allocate the teams time to enhancing/improving the security of Yahoo mail? Don't bother answering that because I already know the answer. It makes too much sense.

  19. Please fix the text resizer

    Currently, when I click reply to an email, I have a tiny font. Previously, I would select "small" and that would increase it to a reasonable size… But currently, small does not change the size at all… But if I go to medium, that is gigantic! Please fix the sizes for the fonts so we're not jumping from tiny to gigantic, and we have a reasonable size choice like we did before. Thank you!
