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. Simplification

    Please allow for "CTRL + Enter" to send as gmail and outlook do. Also, when bulk selecting things to delete I can initiate the delete with either a click or the DEL key, but the Enter key is disabled and you are forcing users to navigate via mouse to click "Delete" which is unnecessary.

    For the record as a user of the Classic version for decades I view this forced change as a downgrade in UX, and would have thought it wise that you inform users of this change being permanent well in advance.

  2. Where is the sort on sender

    I've looked everywhere. Searched, watched videos and cannot find the sort on sender which is pretty much essential when you are getting 1000 junk emails a day.

  3. Differentiate between emails

    Please provide delineation between each email, either using lines or color variation. Emails in my inbox are those that remain outstanding. Otherwise, they are deleted or filed. Its hard to differentiate between emails.

  5. Unused spaces

    There is too much unused spaces on top of the emails. Top boxes needs to shrinked so that we can more reading space.

  6. sorting in folders

    You used to be able to select emails, tap D on the keyboard (on desktop) and tap a number to move them into a folder; now that number option is not functioning

  7. Disable search, return email folder hotkeys for moving emails.

    I don't need to search for folders when I want to move my emails when I hit D. I want to be able to hit D, then hit a number key corresponding with a folder so that I can quickly send emails to a folder.

    Maybe make this a toggle in settings.

  8. using yahoo email on a 17" screen

    I have a 17" laptop and was very happy with yahoo classic email.
    With the new look, yahoo is using more whitespace, bigger fonts, huge buttons, etc etc... so my 17" screen now feels like a 13".

    I understand the industry thinks all users are getting dumber and dumber and can't cope with anything not looking like a kids toy with big bright buttons.... but come on.... surely you are better then that ?

    Or is this the latest push to make users dump yahoo and go elsewhere?

  12. Folder names text wrapping

    The left folder panel on the desktop version is too narrow and locked. I cannot see the full names of my folders anymore - my only option has been to drastically decrease the viewing size of the entire page, and that does not fully resolve. Can the folder names text wrap instead of being truncated? Is there a way to increase the capability of the left panel expansion, decrease the reading panel, but with limitations. Can the left and middle panel negotiate space within a greater width without impacting the right panel being locked for advertisements? Thank you.

  14. Your forcibly imposed new GUI is a disaster

    Not only is the GUI a huge regression, but also I get most stupid, kindergarten-style popups with ridiculous Holloween motifs congratulating me for nothing. Not just once, but 3-4 times a day since you launch your new GUI. HOW CAN THIS BE STOPPED?
    The new user interface is worse than before, which already means a lot. You enlarged the fonts, made them bold such that only 3-4 lines / emails are visible in my long list of emails, making the overview difficult to read. Same for the visible part of the selected email: just 2-3 lines are visible because of…

  16. Display ALL mailboxes

    I don't like that I have to hover over the Yahoo icon on the lower left and then click on another mailbox. I want them to display at the top left like before. Having to Hover, then Click is inefficient. Any annoying.

  18. Allow for more keyboard usage to select and delete emails

    I prefer the old layout as it was easier to just select and use keyboard shortcut keys instead of having to rely on mouse clicks and other manual selection. The current layout sucks as I try to click to select and it opens the dang email and i can't quickly delete by using the delete keyboard button.

  19. Restore folders view on left side of inbox (all of them)

    For as long as I've had a Yahoo Email account (many years), I have had access to view all of my folders on the left side navigation bar. It is now gone. I'm no longer able to view all of my folders while working. Instead, I have to click on multiple dropdowns while trying to remember, or find, a given folder I'm looking for.

    This is laborious, tedious, and frustrating.

    Can the left navigation column once again restore all folders in view? I need to see all of my folders to be able to sort, find, and research, and I…

  20. Default Sort

    Why can't you save as a default sort to have the old messages appear first so you can view and respond to the new emails in chronological order? The app reverts to new emails first always. Seems odd that a simple sort cannot be saved as the default.
