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. Please provide search by folder

    user was able to search mails from a sender from inbox. This feature is removed now. It is extremely difficult to list mails of sender from inbox so we can read, sort and delete them.

    Also presently if we search mails from a one sender it lists mails from all folders in unsorted, disordered list. Every time user has to see the folder name written at the start of subject in list. this is adding interactions instead of improving.
    Please provide search by folder at least.

  2. Not Easy Transferring to other Yahoo Emails

    It used to be so easy to transfer back and forth between my other Yahoo Email accounts. Not so now with your Changes. Takes a lot of time and many times with it asking so many questions repeatedly each time it sometimes is hard to even go back to my original Yahoo email that I transferred from. Between this and so many other things, you really did not think this through very well before destroying what worked so well the Classic Yahoo Emails. I have gained nothing and lost a lot. Also please get the margin between emails with an…

  3. Bug: text does not show up in dark mode as it seems to be hard coded!

    Some text does not show up in dark mode as it seems to be hard coded as white or grey on white or grey background. For example, the balance or transaction amount in the white or grey section from Citi/Costco emails.

  6. GIVE ME BACK MY EMAILS YOU DELETED

    WHEN THE NEW FORMAT CAME ONLINE, MY OLDER EMAILS DISAPPEARED. YOUR SEARCH DOES NOT WORK. THE ADVANCED SEARCH DOES NOT WORK. THEY ARE NOT IN A FOLDER. THE RECOVERY OPTION IN THE HELP SECTION IS NOT HELPFUL AND ONLY GIVES SELF IMPLICATING CHOICES OR 'HACKED'. IT WAS NONE OF THOSE AUTO-POPULATED REASONS. IT WAY YOUR UNINVITED AND UNWANTED 'UPGRADE' THAT CAUSED IT, WITH NO WAY TO OPT OUT OR REVERT, AS BEFORE.

  8. Please Fix the color other people on reddit are saying what I said it literally hurts the eyes

    I cannot get used to this new yahoo even after a week because it physically literally hurts the eyes the white color is too white. I looked on reddit r/email and other people who have used yahoo for over TWO DECADES talked about the white color, the white and black contrast of the color contrast of the page and font hurting their eyes and how people want to be able to put the color layouts/themes. Your customer base of nearly 30 years is saying their eyes are hurting, this is bigger than a layout ui change we can get over.…

  11. Search Feature Improvement - Revert to Previous Functionality

    You really screwed up the search feature. It is a serious downgrade. Before you could select the folder to search and it would only include results from that folder. I don't want to pull up everything. The search function was better before this change.

  12. Ideas: (1) Stop spoofing (2) Allow one-click block senders

    I notice Yahoo has upgraded the look of the mail app. That's great but there are some problems with functionality. (1) I have received a number of spoofed messages i.e. disguised as thought they came from me, with the sender name (me) obviously not matching the sender account - Can these emails be blocked automatically? (2) It would be good to be able to block senders with one-click. Currently I do that by navigating to settings/security&privacy, and adding each email address manually. I would like to block senders quickly where the emails are phishing attempts - emails pretending to be…

  16. go back to the way it was

    I hate the new system. I am searching for old emails FOR A LEGAL CASE and it should not be difficult. But it is now. Before I could find them. Now they do not even come up. I am forced to do research to find my own emails. I can't tell if they're even still there. I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

  17. Great UI Update - 2026 October

    I just wanted to say this new Yahoo Email is THE BEST. I used to revert to the original version with the previous UI, as it was not up to standard. This new UI, which I got a few days ago, is really the best! Very minimal and clutter-free design. Love it !!!

  20. Keyboard shortcuts don't work in new yahoo mail, bring back classic and basic yahoo email

    The new Yahoo Mail interface is unusable with NVDA. I'm blind and and can no longer access my email. Classic/Basic Mail has been removed. Email forwarding -- a standard accessibility workaround -- is now paywalled behind Yahoo Mail Plus. This is discrimination against blind users. I am documenting these barriers and filing complaints with the DOJ and NFB. Restore an accessible free interface or free forwarding immediately.
