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! 💜

  2. Email Appearance

    The new email layout is difficult to read. The emails all come in one continuous chain instead of being separated by date received. The whole screen seems busy now with bubbles next to each sender and purple dots. It would be nice to have the option to resize the column width and adjust the size of fonts used for READ and UNREAD. Everything just blends into one.

  3. Let us go back to the old view and simple or I will change to gmail after 20+ years

    This "new" look to Yahoo is nothing more than what you have already released previously. I didn't like it then and don't like it now and I stuck to the "old" look. Only now you are "forcing" us to accept the "new" look. ****, I can't even scroll down and see the last email in my inbox. Tell me, how is this better? I already had to get rid of Yahoo as my homepage because they started to tell us news that I debunked as false, so now I go to several different places (actual sources) to get my news…

  4. Get rid of it now.

    This is the worst "improvement" yet - and you guys are well known for ****** "improvements" so that is saying a lot. The window that shows the message contents is much too small, by putting the message specific delete, forward, etc commands at the top of the email, instead of using the commands that already exist at the top of the email box, you are making the space even smaller. The section at the right that does nothing in particular is ridiculously wide which also impacts the message viewing area. Seriously, every 'improvement' is worse than the last. Are you…

  5. Reply All button needs to return

    I can only find forward or reply, there is no reply-all anymore, or if there is I cannot find it. Hard to keep a group email going without that option.

  6. Icon removal

    Add the ability to remove the very annoying icon from the message list. Distracting, Adds nothing, and blends with the dot that shows unread messages. I don't like to filter on unread, I prefer to not read and leave it in the list with the read messages. So I use it often, The Icon ads nothing at all. Just an annoyance. Makes me want to use a different email, that imports my yahoo message, rather than your interface.

  9. batch-delete option

    Nothing fresh about the page. I prefer the old page, with the batch-delete option, on the new Yahoo.

  10. Get rid of AI "enhancements"

    If the only outcome is that i don't have to even read my own emails anymore, and the cost is double electric rates and destroying natural resources, AI isnt enhancing anything. At least 40% of businesses recently polled said AI wasnt helping anything, and they largely arent seeing the returns. Stop incorporating this garbage everywhere and anywhere.

  11. Bring back highlighting of emails!

    NEED the highlighting it is too hard to navigate through the read and to distinguish between deletions and ones you want to keeep, You are looking like gmail but a bad one that is lacking in what is needed to read and use emails. Get rid of the AI - leave that as an option for those that want it, I DO NOT, bring back the highlighting of clicked on emails I don't mind the similarities to gmail but having the stars on the right at first sucks, no highlighting of emails SUCKS and I could go on but those…

  12. An absolutely terrible / useless / poor design.

    I can’t use it at all, and none of the items I’m looking for are where they should be. It has become completely unusable. I might have to switch to another service or email provider. Whoever came up with this change must have designed it with the intention of consigning Yahoo Mail to history. An absolutely terrible / useless / poor design. It’s as if a rival company orchestrated it.

  14. Kiddie Version

    We've needed 100% ID/age verification for a long time now.
    Time to implement it, and give THIS version of email to the kiddies.
    They like video game streaks, give it to THEM.
    And give us adults back the functional version without all the popup splash, soft round buttons, and ****.

  17. Message light background in dark mode

    In dark mode user should be able to use /switch between light/dark background in messages (creating new message, reading received messages). Dark mode should only impact overall layout, not the message. For message background, there should be separate toggle in settings.
    It has been issue in the past, then you fixed it. Now again with the new interface.

    What's the point of having a reading pane if half of the emails I receive cannot be fully seen in the reading pane?
