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. Stop messing with the space that you view your emails in. I hate it. I can't adjust the area by dragging the bars or anything.

  3. Search by sender

    Add this feature back. The only option I see so far is to delete all mail from sender. But what if you don't want to delete ALL mail? The old version allowed to search via sender and subject line which is much better for mailbox management.

  4. Get rid of the colored icon's that have the initials of the persons sending the email's

    For a lot of people it's to busy to open your mail and see all of those colors on the left side showing the initial of the person or place . It makes everything else more confusing as this layout is already confusing. I don't understand why they have to do such drastic changes.

  6. remove the reply forward option that is now below the text. Unless you reduce the size of the font it cuts off too much of the text area.

    Continuing....for us old people if you increase the size of the font by using the Ctrl button and your mouse
    so you can read it you can see VERY LITTLE of the text area. Please put those options above the text area as before. PLEASE

  9. This is the worst thing you have ever done. Most of my email now comes in TRASH and there is no way to go back to Basic or Classic email.

    Let me change back to the old email. Or make some way to change things from ending up in trash, Even if I delete stuff in there, it comes back again. IT is very annoying to have to check this all the time

  10. Stop the ridiculous pop ups!

    Please, Spooky Spectacular? Do I really need to be congratulated for deleting messages from my inbox? No one wants to deal with this silliness of closing all of these pop-ups. People go to check their email and are required to close out of stupid pop ups congratulating us on deleting an email, reading and email, or sending an email. It's email. That's what it is meant for. How about making it easier to switch between accounts. Before I could switch between my Yahoo email accounts in one click. Now it's three and then I'm dealing with pop ups for reading…

  11. When I click on ALL emails. Keep it there.

    I don't want Yahoo deciding what's priority. How do they know what is a priority to me? Stop changing my settings. It's annoying and arrogant. I don't care about your wants.

  12. While viewing message in list form, I'd like to be able to make the rows more densely packed

    You messed up the density of the new Yahoo email browser on web. Please give me the option to make the rows more dense. I get a lot of email every day and your interface forces me to touch the keyboard or mouse more frequently. This causes more carpal tunnel for me.

    Why is the area for reading emails only about 3 inches tall? It's impossible to use all the area. What am I missing?

  14. Stop adding features for their own sake

    Please, stop adding unnecessary ******** to email. Streaks for daily activity in our mailbox? What's the point? This is an email feature, not a game. Also, each time Yahoo mail is opened, there's a prompt for mailto links. Once I reject it, it should stay away. Also, a quarter of the screen on the right is simply empty, with no function. Also, to leave a review, we need to sign in separately.

  15. Enhance usability

    It's very hard to read emails in the UI. The email section only covers 1/3 of the screen space. There should be a way to resize the work space for emails. Particularly on the right side where Settings, Calendar and Contacts section should be able to be minimized.

  16. Inbox emails are too similar in color when some are Read and Unread, you can not tell the differnace between the too.. the font is too bold

    Inbox emails are too similar in color when some are Read and Unread, you can not tell the difference between the too.. the font is too bold, comparing the read vs unread emails.

  18. delete without using the check box

    I am not happy with the update that does not allow me to Delete emails without using the check box. I used to be able to click on one of them, and click delete on the screen and it would then move to the next email and i can delete again and do this repeatedly so i can delete many emails very quickly. right now it makes me click on the small box, that is about 10+ clicks if i want to delete 10+ emails in a row. That is not productive at all. Also the boxes are so small…

  19. inbox streaks is dumbest thing I've ever seen on the internet

    stop doing email streaks, stop contacting me with dumb stuff. If you have not dumb stuff that reasonable people would care about, happy to be notified. DONT want to be notified about dumb stuff. Quick internet search shows hundred + people think inbox streaks dumb, i could find ZERO posts of someone every defending or liking inbox streaks. Bad. Design. Stop. It.

  20. Several Suggestions

    Give back the Block Sender in Spam Folder options, so that future blocked sender spam messages go directly to trash, bypassing the spam folder.
    From address searches, add 'contains' options so that 'From' search results can find similar messages from the same email domain.
    Move right side tool bar out of the right side panel into the top panel by the search box.
