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. The unread email numbers aren't immediately updating in the other mailboxes when you hover to look at them.

    The New Emails counters aren't updated after reading what is inside them immediately, like they used to. It keeps showing I have unread emails when I already read them.

    Did you have literally anyone test these basic systems before forcing a rollout? This was literally possible 20 years ago (and last week). Why do you keep trying to break what isn't broken?

  2. ******* the eyes

    "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."

    Such a condescending and arrogant remark. The bright white background is ****** the eyes. The font is horrible. Change IS hard when it the change is for the worse. Learn from users feedback and ditch the superior attitude.

  3. Put the mailboxes back on the left where all the space is.

    I can't see at a glance whether or not my other mailboxes have mail. Put them back on the left in the empty space rather than having to hover over them. Stop making designs hostile to the user, or let us go back to the one that worked.

  4. Usability Feedback: Critical issues with the new Yahoo Mail interface

    Dear Yahoo Mail Team,I am writing to express my strong frustration with the recent updates to Yahoo Mail. Instead of improving functionality, the redesign adds excessive clutter, disruptive UI elements, and frustrating limitations that make basic email management a chore.

    Below is a list of the major usability issues making the platform difficult to use:

    1. Intrusive "Streak" Popups: Notifications celebrating that I have checked my email "X days in a row" are completely unnecessary. Gamifying a basic communication tool adds zero value, interrupts my workflow, and forces me to manually dismiss unwanted popups.

    2. Distracting Avatar Circles: The colored circles placed…

  5. Please bring back the background image options.

    I used the background images as a quick visual to know which account I was in without having to look it up on the right side. It also added a lovely visual, personal touch for what each account is used for -- personal, travel, purchasing, etc.

  6. Ads in the mailbox

    In the old mailbox, it was easy to spot ads in the email list. Now, I keep clicking on them because it is hard to tell them apart, and I keep getting redirected to ad websites. Is there a way to make them appear as ads rather than emails?

    Thanks

  7. emails are not present

    RETURN this mess to some sort of functionality, absolute trainwreck. I have to use other means than website to actually see emails. STOP trying to be 'cutesy' and fix this idiotic mess.

  8. Andoid App

    You have crammed everything into a single menu at the top-left of the phone screen. I am not sure why, but the pull-up option that used to be at the bottom of the screen was much more efficient. This was especially true when using the phone one-handed. Now, I have to sift through a mess of options in one menu to get to the folder I need. I jump between folders all the time for personal and work topics. I am not sure why you have decided to make the app the same as Outlook and Gmail with one menu.…

  10. Change the text color from gray to black to improve readability.

    Change the text color from gray to black to improve readability. All the wording in the new layout is gray in color. It is difficult to read. Please change it back to black text!

  12. Move arrows for expanding email folders to left side of the folder name.

    Move arrows for expanding email folders to left side of the folder name. With this new format, the drop down arrows are on the right side of the folder names, and when I go to drag an email into a folder, every time it inadvertently opens the subfolders and I don't want that since that messes things up and makes it harder to navigate. If you move the drop down arrows to the left side of the folder names, that would be an improvement.

  13. Please get rid of the gamified goals in the phone app!!

    I use this service for my personal email and my business account. Please remove the gamified mess from the phone app! It's childish, irrelevant, and a waste of my time for a service I pay for. I don't need goals to check my email; this is not a toy.

  14. Separation between today's email and the previous day's email

    Can you add in the seperation between the current day's emails and yesterday's and previous like it used to be the PERFECT old email? It helps me know when I've reached the end of the new emails for the day.

    OR JUST GIVE ME BACK THE OLD EMAIL WHICH WAS PERFECT!

  17. Put it back the way it was

    What is wrong with you people. Are you not even out of kindergarten!! I just want my mail to be in a simple to read list, the way it was in the first place. I don't need fat letters and graphics all over the page. That's why I don't like Gmail. I want a concise list. Not wide spaces and a cartoon hand showing a letter being put in the trash can when I delete something. How stupid is that!! Grow up! Put something out for real people.

  18. Folder Routing Bug: Scheduled folder mirrors Inbox (URL locked on 00_1)

    Hello Yahoo Support Team,

    I am experiencing a persistent UI/routing bug in the Yahoo Mail desktop interface. When I click on my "Scheduled" folder, it fails to load the correct folder contents. Instead, it mirrors my Inbox.
    Even though there is an email scheduled in the queue, clicking the folder forces the browser URL back to the main Inbox URL ending in "/folders/00_1". Testing other folders works fine; only the Scheduled folder is stuck on the Inbox routing code. I have already cleared my browser cache and cookies, but the issue persists across different sessions. Please investigate this folder mapping…

  20. The 'new' look is HORRIBLE!!!

    You changed a good looking interface to something that looks like a high school kid designed. Having a light or dark (depending on your settings) background for BOTH the email list and the surrounding frames is really really stupid. The lack of contrast between the different window areas makes it hard to read the contents. What idiot thought of this???? And the fact that you have removed the ability for users to decide the colors of the window frame areas is really insulting. I think I'll go to Outlook and abandon my Yahoo mail accounts. Really really idiotic guys!!!
