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
Unread Count - You can hover over "Inbox" to see the Unread count or you can expand the left hand column and Unread will be in the column below Inbox with the unread count. No hovering.



COMING SOON!
Compact View - Small, Medium and Large views are coming soon! (Some of you are already seeing this new Setting, please let us know if you cannot)




**Please do NOT post about Account, Password, Login issues here. It will be deleted. Please go to help.yahoo.com.




Thank you! 💜

  1. Bring back the ability to star messages in the email list without having to open the message

    The old mail had the ability to star a message that was in the email list without having to open the message. The new email requires the user to open the message to apply the star. In the morning I go through my inbox and star messages that need priority attention and now I can't do that without also opening the message.

  3. col tema scuro non si distinguono i messaggi nuovi da quelli già letti

    Si posso avere altri temi o anche altri sfondi colorati anche omogeni.
    Comunque mi trovavo meglio prima, perché insistete con questa nuova versione?

  4. Actually delete stuff that has been deleted

    I cannot tell you how many times I have deleted email addresses that I do not want but continue to appear when I begin to type an address. Why are they still there?? Why doesn't your "delete" actually delete. My idea? Fix this.

  5. Spam folder - can't even block senders/emails in the new interface. Who built such a stupid new interface?

    Spam folder - can't even block senders/emails in the new interface. Who built such a stupid new interface?

    How am I supposed to block all those numerous spam emails I receive daily? Instead of changing the wotking interface into something stupid that doesn't properly work, you could have strengthened your ability/functionality in protecting my mailbox from flooding spam.

    Shame on you!

  6. Get rid of the stupid ads that flash in your face while attempting to read emails!

    All you did with new "fancy" ridiculous upgrade was compact all my emails and place a giant flashy ad on the side of the page. And as far as my "free" limited storage, You can **** straight off!!!! Who are you to tell me how many emails I can keep????????????? I have had this email account for over 20 years. I am going to have things in there from the past. I ABSOLUTELY WILL NEVERRRRRRRRRR PAY YOU FOR ADDITIONAL STORAGE. If you want to keep this **** up, I will move along and I will eviscerate you in writing.

  7. Difficult to read my inbox

    The basic/classic design layout for the inbox made it easier to read emails at a glance. It's now difficult to decipher what the subject is, the body preview, what's read and unread as they're all rather similar. Please make some accessibility options to better use the forced new inbox on customers. To be clear, no one asked for this.

    How could you make a new version live without a compact view option?! WTF yahoo.

  8. unable to copy and blind copy contacts

    I am very unhappy with your new version of Yahoo Mail for several reasons & by far prefer the old version.
    It seems impossible to copy in other contacts or blind copy others, which used to be easy.
    If possible please could you switch me back to your original email layout, otherwise I'll need to stop using Yahoo & change to Google Mail.

  10. ınbox

    Instead of a pink dot in the inbox, the entire text should be a single color—for example, blue. When a message is clicked, the text should appear white against a black background.

  11. sort by "starred" items

    This feature was previously available but was removed. If you star items (ie important) it is nice to be able to sort first by starred items, then by time/date received.

    This keeps your important items at the top.

  13. More like old version. Better font or give font choices. Show defined month headings in email scroll

    The new format actually hurts my eyes, as in, it physically strains my eyes, making it hard to look at and read.
    The new format also doesn't divide the email scroll into defined months, making it harder to find older emails.
    The font is hard to read because it is so stark and unpleasant.

    It isn't good.

  14. Keep Folders file open.

    Still cannot keep the Folders file open at all times in the sidebar. Now I need to do three clicks instead of one, to move a message to a folder. Very annoying--does "new" mean more umbersome? I hate to change to google mail, but I must say I really dislike the new Yahoo.

  15. stop the pop-ups

    If you don't stop giving pop-ups of all the great new features and streaks in Yahoo mail, I may stop using it all together. I go there for email, not to be bombarded by useless distractions.

  16. Get rid of the frigging white space between messages in the header list view

    Get rid of all the white space when viewing the list of messages in a mailbox. Not all of us is using this service on a touch device!

  17. Here are a few ideas....

    1. Allow list of emails (those I own) to move back to the top left sidebar. Currently they are difficult to see, hard to remember which one I'm in and take an added step to open them. I use all of mine in one day.. and appreciated seeing the new message count next to each box ... as it was previously in the old design,
    2. I don't know what it is but it's much harder to see simple things (the trash can at the top or which one is the move icon, etc) or distinguish between messages than it use to…

  18. Allow for more customization of the inbox design

    I have been using yahoo mail for 27 years -- at times paying for Yahoo Mail Plus -- and I have been happy all these 27 years till now. I do not like the functionality of the new redesign. And after a quarter of a century, I am considering a switch to Tutanota or ProtonMail as I am willing to pay for a better interface.

    The primary issue with the redesign is that it is cluttered and makes it difficult to scan quickly for information. I am shocked that there are not more options for tailoring the design to one's…

  20. Bring back the function to block unsafe/ dangerous emails immediately

    Bring back the feature to block unsafe or dangerous emails instantly. Yahoo Mail is allowing scammers to harass vulnerable users with their constant messages.
