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.

*Those asking about going back to the old version. Unfortunately, if you do not see the "Go Back" button you cannot go back. We really hope you'll try the new experience! Thanks!



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. Enable the "Go Back To Old Version" Button. Ridiculous that it's not an option!

    As a senior over the age of 70, we are used to doing things our way. But when change happens without warning, and no way to return to our old ways, we just give up. I guess we'll just look for another email provider that doesn't surprise us seniors. Thanks anyway.
    BTW, I cannot sign in to my account. Did Yahoo block me now? I don't know what to do to post my idea. I click on the "Post Idea" but it does nothing but ask me about my voice. My Voice? I am trying to post an idea, not…

  4. Email Feedback

    Dear Consumer Feedback Department,

    I've had my yahoo email since I graduated college in 2001. I've loved having it the last 25 years until now. It was fun to have the avatars, but I understand why that did not stick. I absolutely loved having the ability to choose my background or themed wallpaper and I truly do not understand why you took that away so now it is only black and white. I lived on the SF Peninsula for 10 years when Apple, Google and Facebook started and bloomed and I was a beta user for gmail in it's early…

  7. Classic Version

    I do not like the new layout. It is not visually appealing. There is also wasted space on the right side of the screen. Those of us that have been long time users should have access to a legacy version.

  12. Bring back choices

    I couldn't select ALL for the topics so I just chose one at random.
    Bring back Basic yahoo and allow a choice in whether to keep what you have or upgrade.
    New Yahoo is by no means easier to use or navigate.
    For example tonight I accidentally STARRED all my emails and then had to unstar them individually because there is no mass unstar.
    How is this easier?
    Now instead of selecting an email and getting instant results you have to DOUBLE CLICK to get anything to open. One more step and time consuming.
    The system choices are not there…

  13. GIVE US BACK THE OPTION FOR BASIC MAIL!!!

    As I stated please give us back the option to switch back to Basic Mail.this new look is such a strain to look at (day or night time mode) and is a real pain to navigate.

  16. Bring back the option for 'Classic View" please.

    Lost my Classic View and don't like the new view. I feel Classic View should still be an option for others who still want to continue to use it. Everyone who uses any email should not be forced to use the new setup if they choose not to. There should still be an option to choose the Classic View, even if older people like my mom in her 70's still use Yahoo email.

  17. Only include RELEVANT SEARCH RESULTS THAT ACTUALLY MATCH THE SEARCH CRITERIA

    Why are you including completely irrelevant emails when I am trying to search for an email from Etsy. Earthly Adornments is NOT Etsy! So don't complicate my search by adding irrelevant and UNWANTED emails because they did not come from the sender I was searching.! DUH!!!

  18. Yahoo email is not working properly.

    After receiving an email, I replied to the sender or forwarded it to a new one.
    After several repeated replies, I cannot forward the original email to a new one because the emails are combined.
    The Inbox and Sent folders only show the combined emails.
    Yahoo email causes a lot of trouble when replying to official emails.
    Please fix it.

  20. Images continue to show despite changing setting, this is unsafe

    I want to use the new Yahoo mail but it feels unsafe to do so until the images are truly blocked. They are still there for me. But when I switch to the older version they are gone.
