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. Additional email inboxes

    Can you please put the inboxes for other emails where they were? (as in the old version of Yahoo emial which was PERFECT!) I don't like where it is at the bottom of the right hand side. It took me forever to figure out that's where I can change which email I'm checking
    It's so much easier to have them up in the list like they used to where I could actually see them. I don't do well with out-of-sight. It's out-of mind. I like to see it! Better yet. GIVE ME THE OLD VERSION!

  2. Please get rid of all these popup message boxes- I can't read anything with them in the way

    You have multiple new little popups that interfere with reading the subject line of my emails. Things like UNSUBSCRIBE for emails that I consider very important, and ADD TO CALENDAR even though I have not used Yahoo Calendar in the last 28 years of using Yahoo email. Your calendar sucks okay. Just forget about it. And the SUMMARIZE is laughably stupid. I don't want summaries I want to read my email. I can read it faster (500 wpm) than you can summarize it.

  3. Fix the resulting screen from an email search

    My original post indicated that you reviewed it and replied. However, I can NOT see your response anywhere. Here's the original post with a minor tweek. Thanks!
    I searched for emails from APMEX. The resulting screen showed two large blocks including two emails from APMEX. That took up the majority of the center of the screen. Below those two results, at the bottom of the page, there was one line with an email. To the far right side was the up/down arrow to scroll to the next APMEX email. I want to see all the APMEX emails that can fit…

  4. email heading when reading

    The top heading when reading an email is way too big. I used to be able to preview an email. Now the preview is mostly the heading, which includes the function features that used to be at the top of the page. I do not like this change. Please change it back. I want to preview my email, not see the subject of the email in a huge font, or see the function buttons that should be at the top of the page. Please, please change this back!!! Please do not change what worked so well. This is awful!

  5. Keep all email accounts separate and at the top of the page

    Don't make me have to go to the bottom of the page, hover over my current account name, and then click my other account. The previous version let me see both of my accounts listed on the top left, and I could easily move between them. I could also easily see how many unread emails I had. Now there are extra steps. You didn't make it better, you made it so much worse. (And check out Reddit if you think I'm the only one that doesn't like the new layout.) Oh, and the lines are too thick. There's too much…

  7. emails by age

    i miss that in classic, which needed no improvement and the new look sucks, there was a section showing how old my emails were. now it's just a boring list and i can't tell how old they are, from last week, two weeks ago, older than that? it used to show that in classic but you over simplified it for yourself making it harder for me to determine how old my emails are. i guess you had to do some cost cutting and took that out. like i've said in other comments, i'll be looking for a new provider, maybe…

  8. Get rid of wasted space

    There seems to be a lot of space under the Yahoo header plus so much extra space between each of the listed emails. Couldn't that be eliminated? The body of the message is restricted to this little box, approximately only 1/3 of the page and it's extremely irritating to have to scroll through a message that I used to be able to see at one glance but now has several lines to it. From the header to the message is 3" which is ludicrous. It's the message part that everyone wants to view, not the extra space--1.5" of header with…

  9. searching emails

    We used to be able to type in a word and then had the option to search a specific folder. Please restore that feature. I do not like how the Search feature has been changed. The new changes makes finding things more difficult. Why do you keep changing things when they worked great the way they already were???!

  11. Folder Sidebar - too narrow

    How can I adjust the Folder Sidebar in new mail view? too narrow for me.

    How can I go back to the old Yahoo Mail Plus version? I don't like the new version.

  12. email button options compressed

    Need to move the buttons (star, delete, move, and mark as unread) closer to the email subject line. There is SO MUCH blank space between email subject and buttons/time received.

  13. column widths

    Need the ability to widen the header sections. For example, I want the Sender to be wider so I can see the full name and to make the email subject line to be less wide.

  14. See More Mail - Reduce the Line Height and Silly Graphical Icons

    The old email interface allowed me to see many more entries in my Inbox. That made it easier for me to select the emails I didn't want to read and delete them far more efficiently. The new interface is incredibly space inefficient and harder to read. It sucks. Reminds me of an old saying: "Change is inevitable, progress is not."

  16. Cleaner formatting

    I don't want big bubbly shapes. I don't want my tabs shoved at the top of the screen. The new version feels bloated and unpleasant. I have stuck with the old Yahoo Mail format for years for a reason.

  17. The new Yahoo email I have been forced into is not what I want at all

    Not only do I resent the patronizing note about change being good, Yahoo has continually changed what isn't broken, ruined the customizable home page, removed the ability to block Spam senders in the new email and now I also get these annoying pop ups with silly animations and no way to block them as far as I can tell. I have stayed with Yahoo for over 20 years, and recently only because I didn't want to have to change my default email with vendors, but Yahoo has shown little regard for what users actually want. I imagine I'll be leaving…
