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. Search Feature Improvement - Revert to Previous Functionality

    You really screwed up the search feature. It is a serious downgrade. Before you could select the folder to search and it would only include results from that folder. I don't want to pull up everything. The search function was better before this change.

  2. Ideas: (1) Stop spoofing (2) Allow one-click block senders

    I notice Yahoo has upgraded the look of the mail app. That's great but there are some problems with functionality. (1) I have received a number of spoofed messages i.e. disguised as thought they came from me, with the sender name (me) obviously not matching the sender account - Can these emails be blocked automatically? (2) It would be good to be able to block senders with one-click. Currently I do that by navigating to settings/security&privacy, and adding each email address manually. I would like to block senders quickly where the emails are phishing attempts - emails pretending to be…

  6. go back to the way it was

    I hate the new system. I am searching for old emails FOR A LEGAL CASE and it should not be difficult. But it is now. Before I could find them. Now they do not even come up. I am forced to do research to find my own emails. I can't tell if they're even still there. I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

  7. Great UI Update - 2026 October

    I just wanted to say this new Yahoo Email is THE BEST. I used to revert to the original version with the previous UI, as it was not up to standard. This new UI, which I got a few days ago, is really the best! Very minimal and clutter-free design. Love it !!!

  10. Keyboard shortcuts don't work in new yahoo mail, bring back classic and basic yahoo email

    The new Yahoo Mail interface is unusable with NVDA. I'm blind and and can no longer access my email. Classic/Basic Mail has been removed. Email forwarding -- a standard accessibility workaround -- is now paywalled behind Yahoo Mail Plus. This is discrimination against blind users. I am documenting these barriers and filing complaints with the DOJ and NFB. Restore an accessible free interface or free forwarding immediately.

  12. Icons on Yahoo Mail

    I have noticed that all of the actions on the header have now been completely replaced with icons. The text for what that icon means should be under the icon as well. Instead, we now have to hover over the icon, to find find out what it does, instead of just being able to read it, then clicking on it. Was there any reason why the text had to be removed? It's an unnecessary change that further accelerates illiteracy by replacing words with pictures.

  13. nature, mountains & camper theme from classic Yahoo Mail - also, where even ARE themes?

    I had a nature theme in classic yahoo! with a vintage camper in the scene. It was comfortable feeling. I can't even find themes now - and the new Yahoo! mail looks like Gmail, but not as good. I already HAVE a gmail account - I didn't need another, and my archive of emails is here. Please give us the option to go back to classic Ymail OR at least some more of the more visually pleasing and user friendly layout. Yes - I looked at the help suggestions and already made your suggested changes, and it's still low-rent gmail.…
