Yahoo Mail gets a Refresh with New Look and Features

Yahoo Mail gets Refresh!

Yahoo Mail gets big improvements with refreshed design, and a fast, reliable, and intuitive opt in experience. This lets Yahoo Mail’s inbox captures their life online  whether someone uses it communicate with friends and family, as a place to keep their photos and memories, or as a way to organize coupons and receipts from purchases.



The Mail interface is cleaner and easier to use, with many updates to the layout.

Now users can personalize their inbox by choosing from new color themes. Each theme comes with three different layout options. You can also set the interface to a light or dark mode.

Now there is more spacing between important items, so the inbox feels less cluttered, and users can easily view and decipher important information.

Yahoo’s New emoji set from Twitter’s open source offering lets people can express themselves and with new stationery to make their emails more stylish.



Yahoo is also bringing several new features that make it simpler to find the information people need with Photos and Documents Views, Fast and responsive interface, Better Search (Conversation and Preview pane), Rich Preview.

The new Photos and Documents views allow people to conveniently see all the attachments they’ve ever sent or received. When someone want to look at a specific document, they can use the new side-by-side preview which allows them to view attachments and the email together.

Yahoo uses the latest web technologies to make the whole experience faster from the moment the user login. Every part of the interface is faster and more reliable, particularly for slower connections. Yahoo Mail also behaves smarter in recognizing different screen sizes, no matter how small or how big the screen. The responsive design keeps the key elements of the interface in the right place.

Now people be able to view the search results page the same way they’ve specified in their “viewing email” settings.

Hover over the image icon to view the photos, documents, etc., attached in an email for Rich Preview.



Yahoo has added even more personalization options. Users will be happy to see that Yahoo have put as much effort into making the settings area clean and easy to use, as they did the rest of the interface. So now customizing Yahoo Mail is simple. As people change settings, the interface responds instantly.

There is a improved offering of Yahoo Mail Pro, a more cost-effective ad-free subscription plan that comes with priority customer support. Available now on both desktop and mobile.

Switch back to classic desktop Mail if you are not used to the new interface or you want that classic look.

Yahoo want to ensure that all users can enjoy their upgraded email experience. They’ve incorporated full inbox access for NVDA and VoiceOver screen reader users, and provided options for light-sensitive and low-vision users, layouts for use with high magnification, and full keyboard navigation for alternative input devices.
