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. Remove icons on the left side of each email

    Please remove the sender icons located on the left side of each email. It makes the page way too busy.

  2. spam sender blocking

    That you have done away with easily blocking senders in the spam folder is despicable. It's a joke that in the inbox one can easily block a sender; yet in the spam folder itself, you have stupidly done away with blocking senders of spam unless one laboriously enters each sender in settings. I HATE THE NEW YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
    At one time, yahoo was head and shoulders above other email sites, even offering stationery, something not available elsewhere. Now yahoo is bound and determined to make yahoo mail the suckiest email on the globe. THANKS FOR NOTHING from a former yahoo mail…

  3. Post a solution that doesn't exist

    Your website says "Sort By Sender - This is still a sorting option, but you must disable Conversation view under your Settings. Then you will see "Sender name" There is no Conversation item listed in my Settings. Why do you post something like this that does not exist?

  4. You put it back to what it was

    Your idea to "improve" the email is to say the least, stupid! Why is the print button now hidden? Why can't I get rid of that AI generated summary box? Why did you make the delete button different? Why are the "ads" now in the body of the email list.

  5. Sending mail

    Why when writing a mail why it is "FULL PAGE"
    Can only write three addresses per line and address list box is difficult to read it only shows three addresses. NOT easy to scroll for more addresses .

  6. Can't move an email to the Sent Folder

    Why can't I move an email from Inbox to the Sent folder? It's not an option, and I tried to drag and drop to no avail.

    Same holds true trying to move an email from Trash to Sent...

  7. Restore the sort by alphabetical order

    One of the features I liked about Yahoo mail that Chrome didn't have was the possibility of sorting email messages by alphabetical order of senders. That made it much easier to delete blocks of messages when they have accumulated by the thousands. Now I am back to clicking each box individually because messages (the ones I want to keep and the ones I want to delete) are mixed by dates.

  8. Unable to Reply to All

    The Reply to All button is not visible/present in the tool bar at the top of the email nor at the bottom of the email.

    Please add the Reply to All button or tell me how to get it back.

  9. Where are themes?

    Listed on the website are Themes, but I see no way to find them. Why are you making this so hard to find anything? Why do you change things without **** massive beta testing to see if anyone wants what you are offering? The new Yahoo is beyond ugly, bland, boring and sterile. Give me some options to make it look the way I want it to.

  10. The new version is not good at all.

    Hello, I would like to have an earlier version of the Yahoo Mail look and feel. I am not comfortable with the latest look and feel design. Please tell me how to revert the earlier version. The slowest version I ever saw of Yahoo Mail.
    Thanks

  11. Pasted images --- can't delete or make smaller

    I send a lot of pasted-in images.

    I don't see the usual choice of shrinking the image (I think it was labeled Original / Small).

    There are a couple other things I don't like (that third window in Right View) but this is a deal killer.

    --- Pasted images are one size with no choice of shrinking.
    --- Most of my pasted images are now too big to see in List View and I have to scroll side to side. That third window on the far right needs to go!
    --- I can't highlight a pasted image to delete it …

  13. Bring back the paragraph tab button

    bring back a one touch paragraph button. The 1 which is supposed to be it only advances the cursor 1 space & shows up as ] in the email. How is that the same as hitting the tab button in classic yahoo & having it advance cleanly 5 spaces???

  14. The contrast between read and unread messages are hard to distinguish in "dark mode"

    The contrast between read and unread messages are hard to distinguish in "dark mode" Maybe make the fonts darker on unread items. Also, fonts could be sharper too. Do not make things so different from the old format. Customers like myself are used to what the program looked like and do not want the change. I have used Yahoo mail for decades and the "new look" is not that appealing. I am trying every option you have to try to make it look like something I use but not really enough options are available to make this feel like something…

  15. Best would be to not "improve" what was already good

    Before I was able to see all my connected accounts and see if there is new mail to them WITHOUT having to do a pointless extra step of hovering cursor over an icon. Before I was able to see all my FOLDERS without having to CLICK an icon for them to appear in a list. Before I was able to just drag and drop mail from one folder to another. NOW I can't do any of that, and you call that improvement. How about just don't. How about returning the old methods that were practical and useful. Argh!

  16. Please allow opt-out of the cutesy ****

    Please allow opt-out of the cutesy ****--not everyone is in grade school or junior high. It is just so annoying when you are working and you take over the screen to show the status of "your streak", have animations float around the screen, etc. and while you are typing and no input is taken. It is just annoying. Not all your users are youngsters.

  17. Give me back the option to delete a spam and sender option

    Give me back the option to DELETE EMAILS for both Spam and SENDER option so I do not get repeat emails from the sender , I had this option prior to your changes and this now allows spam emails to bombard me, Your changes now allow spam from senders to continue sending me emails

  18. Eliminate icons for e-mail senders

    I liked the old system fine, and cannot concentrate clearly on merely reading the sender, and find the icons distracting and disruptive. Looking for a new e-mail after 20 years or so

  19. Block sender

    The block sender feature is no longer available in the Spam mailbox.

    It is available in the Inbox, but not in the spam mailbox.
    At this time it would seem that a user has to move spam mail to the inbox before it can be blocked. This is very in-efficient.

  20. show connected mailboxes at the top of the list, as before

    position mailboxes at the top of the menu, its really useful being able to see all accounts across a range of providers, and having them much more visible would improve usability.
    Also, be able to re-arrange them in a preferred order, and to have the 'unread' indicator visible would be much better
