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. Fix the desk top version.

    I have to log in every time even though the keep logged in box is checked. Make the reading window bigger. This new version has taken something simple and made it too hard for seniors. Every one is not a tech expert.

  2. turn off streaks

    Can we please have an option to turn off email "streaks?" I don't need you telling me that I've achieved a lot today. Do you think this is a fitness app or a video game, and I need encouragement? Why am I unlocking achievements just by reading my daily email? So tone deaf and a waste of space.

  3. The side panel

    The side panel that shows starred messages needs to stay collapsed. I use starred messages in my folders for important information that I don't want anyone wandering into my work area to see. When I have collapsed the panel it needs to STAY COLLAPSED, not just collapsed for this session.

  4. LET US MAKE BETTER USE OF THE EMPTY UNUSED SPACE TO THE RIGHT

    THE FAR RIGHT SIDE OF THE EMAIL IS BLANK AND TOTAL WASTED SPACE. WHATEVER YOU THINK WILL IT WILL BE USED FOR, IT ABSOLUTELY STUPID TO KEEP IT BLANK WHEN WE COULD EXPAND ALL THE WAY OVER TO SEE MORE. PLUS YOU DONT EVEN HAVE FROM: SUBJECT: DATE/TIME AT THE TOP OF THE LISTS. IT LOOKS SO DUMB. A REFLECTION ON WHO EVER DECIDED TO DO THIS CHANGE.

  5. Even your help is annoying.

    You've made switching between accounts a real hassle, (not what I really wanted to say about it) I don't know why you think what you've done to mail was a good idea, but it's definitely NOT an upgrade, just less functional, and more annoying.

  7. Starred is a pain in my butt right now

    I would like the Option of contact calendar OR starred upfront on my mail page where EVERYONE can see. I need to reorganize my mailbox with no warning so I can keep things handy but not in public view.

  10. The ability to see the block sender's domains (like in the old Yahoo Mail)

    It feels like a piece of functionality has disappeared that I think was very helpful.
    In the old Yahoo Mail+ (from last week), I had the ability to, once I was in the SPAM folder, select all and see the domains of all of the senders. Then I could identify which senders I wanted to put into the block-domain list.
    Now, with the new Yahoo Mail update, that is gone.
    It was really useful and I would like to urge you to bring it back.

  11. Copy & Paste

    I use excel spreadsheets to send my work schedule to my staff. When I copy and paste the schedule into the body of the email, it has many blank boxes. This didn't happen in the previous, and MUCH BETTER, version. Can you fix this issue?

  13. Delete & Navigation Speed Up

    Doesn't work for me. I delete a lot of emails & this new version makes it a slower process. The change, honestly, is not the best.
    Maybe swiping to delete a better option.

  14. sync better

    I sent two emails to myself they both ended up in the deleted folder. I never even had a chance to open them. Even on my iPhone I found them in trash. This new yahoo mail is terrible.

  15. Accessible Settings

    First of all, you could put the settings button where someone might actually look for it. Not everyone thinks your whizbang ideas(assuming you can figure out what that means) are spectacular. If something is working, LEAVE IT ALONE!

    Here's an idea - I've been a yahoo email user for 20 some yrs and every few of those some new intern manager other programming minion has decided the old yahoo is outdated and we need something new so some new yewhew get invented and the omnipotent not see overlords decided EVERYONE MUST go along with the new program without exception - WHY? JUST WHY? if the yewhew minions need to fiddle with everything just to justify their positions - why can't the new unnecessary obsessive and unneeded have their own little neo-divergent version while the satisfied majority can be…

  17. Reviewing attachments before sending email

    When responding to an email and you decide to view an included attachment first and then go to close the attachment, instead of yahoo mail taking you back to the draft you're currently working on, it takes you to the person's email message beforehand and you have to go back to drafts to locate the email you were currently working on.

    Then the close tabs option should be on the left not on the far right. When printing a blank page prints then the actual email as page 2.

    Also, please add the ability to mark the email unread while…

  18. bring back see all mail from one sender; also make search for whole mail account, not a certain time frame

    There used to be a way to see all mail from same sender and see all mail with a search term, now it appears time limited and there are too many steps to delete a group of messages.
    I really hate this new layout.

  19. Fix the spacing. Keep what you said you would keep.

    You said this forced move to the New Yahoo Mail would keep my inbox spacing preferences from Classic Yahoo Mail. It did not. There is more space between lines in the inbox list. You also said there would be a setting for inbox spacing. There is not.. If this line spacing change is because of the addition of logos/avatars, maybe there needs to be a way to turn those off.

    There is also more spacing between lines in the folder list, so I can't see as many at once.

    Both side panels are wider, wasting space on the screen.

    You…

  20. Bring back the "quick search" buttons in the list view!

    Bring back the "quick search" button! Please? It used to be the magnifying glass when you hover over the email. there was one by the sender name and one by the subject line. I used this feature very frequently.
