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. Make it easier to read

    In the old mail I could easily differentiate one email from the next and see what was read vs unread. Now you really have to focus on the page to see the difference and frankly it hurts my eyes. As a women in her late 40s without any eye issues it shouldn't be this hard to see our email - please adjust it!

  2. Make new/unread emails more distinguishible from older/read ones by adding color background to row.

    Although new/unopened emails have a slightly bolder (black) font and a small purple dot to differentiate them from older/read emails it is still a bit hard to quickly distinguish them when you are looking at them all together; so it would be very helpful if a lightly colored (pastel color) (like a light purple pastel) background be added to the row of a new unread email so that it can quickly be distinguished from other emails around it that have been opened/read. The background color will go away (turn white) once the particular email is read/opened (and can be turned…

  3. Where is the Trash in the header?

    Where is the trash in the header- I no longer have it, how do I get it back, and how do you minimize an email?

  4. Page Layout

    Do you think you could find a better way to arrange the page in my "New" (and definitely NOT appreciated) Yahoo mailbox, so that there is only one line of text visible in my emails?? Currently there appear to be about 4 or 5 lines of text visible, (way too many) and then a whole block of space dedicated to the "Reply" and "Forward" buttons. That is definitely too much available space for me to read my emails! Are you purposely trying to make your mail application more unfriendly, more difficult to use? Should I presume that after using your…

  5. ALIAS - To be able to see, which alias was email send to, on first sight

    Hello,
    when I open received email, in old version I was able to see immediately, which of my aliases was email sent to. Now, I dont see it. I miss this feature.
    When replying to email, I dont see alias, neither. I have to click on "From" to see and pick up alias, I want to use.
    Also in old version, when replying to email, alias, to which was original mail sent, was used automatically. Now the primary user name is used by default, so I have to always check "From" and set it accordingly.
    Using aliases was great feature,…

  7. Text is missing

    In the inbox and any other folders we cannot see half of the text as there is no sliders to show a sender or say the subject line.

    Inbox is so washed out, way too white and a terrible experience.

  10. The new filtering functionality is poorly designed

    In the old version I could simply click on an email in the viewing section then set up an automatic filter for the email to go to a certain folder. Now i must go into setting to set a filter then try to remember the sender and set up the filter. This is poorly designed. i want my old version back. Please put this filter function in the viewing section.

  12. Message Size

    The message size is too narrow to be able to see all of a standard message in landscape mode. The ads are too wide. The should be moved to the bottom. There shouldn't be more ads on the side, since you already imbed them in the messages.

  13. I don't understand why not all of my email from known sources goes into my inbox. Some of it is found only in the unread box.

    Also, when I click on something, for example, "log out", it takes several seconds for it to come up. It is not as quick as the old yahoo.

  15. Allow blocking of spam emails

    The new email set up does not allow in the spam an option to block email addresses, a feature that was very much appreciated. I don't want to receive the naughty emails at all, but opening them one by one in order to set up blocking is tiresome and disgusting. Please return this feature.

    I have paid for an increase in storage space for Yahoo Mail (as of 09/10/2026), but the available space has not yet increased.
    Please look into this and get back to me regarding this matter.

  18. undo spacing in email list

    Spacing is horrible, cannot see many emails. Also cannot tell when emails are read and unread. In general absolutely HATE the new yahoo mail, Who comes up with these HORRIBLE changes? It was fine the way it was.

  20. Make it simpler. Eliminate the need for horizontal scrolling

    Your new layout is pathetic. Clearly, you don't give a **** about what your users think. If this doesn't change soon, I'll be looking for a new provider.

    The screen is too busy. I need a basic view. I'm not getting any younger and have enough trouble with my vision. Why can't I just get a simple list of emails (no pictures) and let me scroll through them while being able to read the subject? Give me a "Senior View" that is much, much simpler!!!
