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! 💜

  1. You need to give an option to go back to the old style

    This so called new mail is trash. Having to enable javascript is bs. Some people know what a security event waiting to happen javascript is. Those who use it to program are the dregs of developers. Also the old look and feel of yahoo mail is much more pleasing to look at. This new mail is garbage and I am sick and tired of you thinking you know what your customers want. As a user of your email for **** near 30 years I am disappointed in this trash. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

  4. Space between Emails needs Fixing Immediately

    COMING SOON!
    Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon!
    This Option should have been on the site before you ever moved us over to your New Yahoo Email which is not better and has lost things from the Classic Yahoo Emails that I have worked with for years and the reason I stuck with Yahoo. Please give us the Option to go smaller. Right now, it is so Wide that I cannot see all of my emails from the same day that have multiples from the same place that was easy with Classic Emails to put…

  5. Go Back!! Go back to the old mail...at least it has some visual contrast.

    This new mail is not nearly as easy to use. It is much harder. Everything looks like everything else and it's hard to tell what I'm clicking on! The old one was good at a glance. The new one give me a **** headache having to guess what little icon is the one I want. Was it designed by blind people or just people who will never use it? It SUCKS!!
    That's my opinion.

  6. Bring back the old layout, please!

    This new layout as of October 2026 is so tedious. It genuinely hurts the eyes to use it, and actual features aren't functioning properly. For example, the meta information like the thumbnail isn't showing in hyperlinks inserted into emails. It's functioning worse than the old layout and the appearance is more than unflattering; it's genuinely ******* the eyes. I find myself only checking emails when I have to now, and using my non Yahoo accounts more than I ever have before. I can't be the only one sending criticism of the new layout. Sorry.

  7. Let me see my cc and bcc on the screen while I am writing an e-mail.

    Let me see my cc and bcc on the screen while I am writing an e-mail. This is frustrating for it to collapse while you are typing the e-mail. I don't want to keep clicking on it over and over to check the names.

    Also, how do I disable "Spaces" on my iphone?

  9. The point is ... change should improve things, be seemless and NOT HARD. This is a disgrace.

    The point is ... changes should improve things, be seemless and NOT HARD. This "upgrade" is just a disgrace and I am so angry that you don't even have the decency to let us revert to the old version of email and calendar whilst you "improve" things further. You are using us like test subjects and this a beta version that needs to be tested. This upgrade is not an upgrade and should not have been released. Absolutely DISGUSTED with Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. Allow an appearance-based changed where emails that have been read have a darker background color than unread ones

    The old inbox was so much clearer visually (especially the fact that unread emails had a lighter background for easy checking), and there isn't a good reason to force us to use the new version. I don't find any of the changes useful or helpful, and it is significantly damaging the work flow of my daily life. I see the notice about not changing back, but why not allow users who are used to that system to select their preference? It would even be acceptable to import the AI stuff into this version, since that's probably the reason for the…

  15. Put "sort by sender" back into regular filters

    Sort By Sender - This is still a sorting option, but you must disable Conversation view under your Settings. Then you will see "Sender name"

    I did this and it still does not show up. I closed the browser too.

  16. Return OLD YAHOO MAIL

    New YAHOO Mail stinks. It is slow, cumbersome, and wastes time. YAHOO Mail was the best. Now, it is among the worst and will make me find another email provider.unless you give us the option to return to the OLD mail.

  17. some feedback from a loyal yahoo mail user

    Allow users to revert back to the previous layout!
    Many users do not like the new layout. We were able to revert back to the previous layout which we all preferred. However, now it seems we have been forced to use this new layout which is unfamiliar and difficult to use. Please consider allowing loyal yahoo mail users to choose to revert to the old layout if they prefer it. Thank you.
