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 new interface is terrible

    I love the old interface. It was smooth, purple, had easy navigation icons such as being able to select a subcategory of emails (read, unread, etc) without having to select one email first. The arrow button to bring you back to the top of your inbox was also very useful. I also don't llke how my inbox goes straight to my primary inbox now, I would like to see all my emails first. Why can't I select which inbox shows up first? It is very frustrating and I am thinking of switching to a different email site because of the…

  3. Improve the "tabs" at the top so they don't hide things

    The "tabs" at the top seem to obscure things more than they help. idk if maybe it's just not showing all of them or what. I close one and find it still at the top, so maybe there was another open with the same name. It needs to show all of them or make something very obvious that there are more open that don't show. ugh. It would help a lot if that right side column wasn't wasting so much space on the screen that could be used more effectively in the middle column. hating this new layout!

  4. toooooooo much

    I just want to read my mail. I don't want fancy bubbles that duplicate the sender info, I don't want huge space between the sender and the body of the email, I don't want the distracting icons and colors. Make it what you want but give the users the option to turn off the **** they don't want to be bothered with. Forcing me to use this format is making me want to change to gmail permanently.

  5. Icons and Bold Font need to go

    Get rid of all the icons next to the emails. I don't want or need them. Too much bold lettering in the inbox.

  8. Your new display

    Your new display is an especially egregious attack on the eyes, like holy ****. Why did you change it so unnecessarily, and give us the option to use the legacy view please. Thank you.

  9. WHY do you feel the need to change???

    WHY do you feel the need to change?? NO ONE in my circle of life likes YAHOO mail. I have other accounts and am considering using them as my primary instead of YAHOO. So far I have not seen anything that improves YAHOO just more trying to find where my stuff is at..

  10. Read my complaints below....

    It's ridiculous that you have to click the "More" button to print an email. The Print button should be visible in regular email view. I convert so many emails to PDF and having to press the More button to be able to do that is a complete pain in the backside. I can't see a way to Star an email in the Inbox overview either. I have to be reading the actual email to be able to add a star next to it in the Inbox list view. Is your software being written by ignorant idiots or the cheapest newbies…

  12. remove that childish streak nonsense

    This format is so childish. Actually looks like a child designed it.
    I went to using my gmail instead of this stupid new design.

  17. Please bring the sort back

    There used to be an easy way to 'sort from sender' or 'sort from newest or oldest' - Now I have to click on one email and it will group all from that one sender and then I can review. It takes longer to clean out my inbox now. Just bring it back please. Stop trying to make Yahoo like Gmail; if I wanted Gmail, I'd use it. I still have my hotmail email as well and their platform is much easier than yours.

  18. backgroud colour and email contacts

    I would suggest to have a "grey" or off white background option... light is too bright and dark is just horrible on the eyes.

    Also, please have the contacts' email appear so we can copy/paste them. Eg, When I enter a contacts' name in "To: " their email appears, but cannot be highlighted to copy/paste (as we could before).

  19. page lighting

    Well since you jerks won't return my previous version at least make it possible to have a dark border and the message area be bright ? That would make it much easier on the eyes when reading an email...

  20. Change project managers

    Budding projects managers: The viewing text is now too small on the PC screen, the attention is diverted to pointless large message icons and inexplicable nearby dots. There is no setting for the viewing text size. Just wonder why Yahoo updates (just like Outlook ones) are ALWAYS worse then previous versions.
