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.

*Those asking about going back to the old version. Unfortunately, if you do not see the "Go Back" button you cannot go back. We really hope you'll try the new experience! Thanks!



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 the way the inbox automatically redirects you to the top every time a new email shows up? Still hate this update!!!

    When I am scrolling down looking for an email (which is harder now without the dated dividers) every time a new email arrives it glitches me back up to the top and I have to start again. Very Annoying!!

    Still hate this update!!

  3. Please offer an option...

    "Protect your account info
    Cybercriminals often target accounts like yours. Turn on 2-step verification to add a layer of security to your account."
    ...to opt out of ever seeing these messages during login again. In my case, this level of security is an overblow, and neither needed nor desired.

  4. Select ALL

    Select ALL should be a feature for those who have neglected their inbox for years, have recently regained access to an old account, or are managing the account of a deceased loved one. This would allow ALL emails to be selected and marked as read, deleted, moved to a designated folder, or otherwise handled as one sees fit. There would be no limit to how many emails are selected when using select all. Currently, the feature selects 100 emails at a time rather than actually selecting "all." This creates a time-consuming task for people with thousands upon thousands of unread…

  5. Collapse of right-hand menu box not remembered

    When viewing my inbox, and I collapse the right-hand menu box that contains shortcuts to the calendar and settings, it doesn't get remembered and I must collapse it again, often multiple times a day. This is annoying.

  7. Looks of the mailbox

    I understand that you have to compete with Outlook but I found the original look of the mail was the best look and layout. I just want to see my mail in descending date order with the newest first. Okay you have that, but I don't need to make everything into a conversation group. It is that way now with the replies. It seems harder to see my emails and manage my contacts then it was before. I have the spacing between messages set at compact but now they are spaced out. You should of kept that option. The right…

  9. Why do I need to do another click to get to my folders?

    Put the folders back to being visible. Yahoo is getting more complicated and nowhere near as good as it was before you made these changes (the cosmetic stuff with all the mauve nonsense)

  10. Don't change the interface without notifying the user - I can't find where I can set the sort order

    I don't know if you are intent on ******* off your users, but count me as one of those who hate this interface.

  13. unwanted, unabled to delete emails.

    unsolicited email no way to stop them. They don't have that option on their emails. When you contact the company they act like they cannot hear you and hang up!
    This is one of many. "Erie Home Roofing" why is this being allowed.

    why is this nuisance being allowed?

  15. Need more space for reading email text!

    So frustrating how small the reading area for email text when reading on my laptop. I cannot read an email without having to constantly scroll around. I wish could remove or minimize the box on the right side that currently has my Starred messages, and expand the window for email text. Please help!!

  16. trying to find stationary to use on my emails

    I searched how to find stationary for my emails. Directions I find don't work on my account. Please help. Either let me know that it is not available or how to find an app or source on my email. Also, I would like to remove the items on the far right to widen my screen. How do I do that?

    I would like to go back to the older style of email. Plus, I can't navigate many of the features as I don't understand the wording. The way the pictures load is impossible. Windows was better all around.

  18. Complaint about Yahoo Mail app search function

    Hello, the search function in Yahoo Mail app is terrible. If I search for a term such as "Amazon receipt", the search function instead pulls up ALL "Amazon" emails and all "receipt emails". So instead of finding Amazon receipts, I instead get piled with all Amazon emails such as ads and all receipts from non-Amazon senders.

    This is really annoying and I'm seriously considering deleting the Yahoo Mail app. The computer website does not have this issue tho.

  19. Get rid of progress streaks and achievements

    Progress streaks and achievements, under the lightning bolt icon, are expected in games but seem strangely out of place in mail, which I'm using professionally. I've toggled off the "Get progress updates" setting so it's not a distraction, but just the presence of the icon is a reminder that my business mail has been gamified.
