Why is there no settings on new yahoo mail
The nostalgia of Yahoo Mail!
You're right, the new Yahoo Mail (launched in 2013) doesn't have a traditional settings page like the old Yahoo Mail did. There are a few reasons for this:
- Simplified user experience: Yahoo aimed to simplify the user experience and reduce clutter. By removing the settings page, they focused on making the email interface more intuitive and user-friendly.
- Cloud-based infrastructure: The new Yahoo Mail is built on a cloud-based infrastructure, which allows for more flexibility and scalability. This shift away from traditional server-based infrastructure means that settings are managed more centrally and don't require a dedicated settings page.
- Mobile-first design: Yahoo Mail is designed with mobile devices in mind, and the settings page was seen as unnecessary on smaller screens. Instead, key settings are accessible through the app's menu or by tapping the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu) in the top left corner.
- Integration with other Yahoo services: The new Yahoo Mail is deeply integrated with other Yahoo services, such as Yahoo Calendar, Contacts, and Finance. This integration is managed through the Yahoo account settings, which can be accessed through the Yahoo account page.
If you're looking for specific settings, you can try the following:
- Account settings: Go to the Yahoo account page and sign in. Click on "Account" and then "Account info" to access settings like password, security questions, and account recovery options.
- Email settings: Tap the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu) in the top left corner of the Yahoo Mail app, then select "Settings" to access options like notification settings, account sync, and email forwarding.
- Customize your inbox: You can customize your inbox by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner of the Yahoo Mail web interface. This will open a menu with options to customize your inbox layout, add columns, and more.
Keep in mind that some settings may not be available or may be hidden behind a few taps. If you're still having trouble finding a specific setting, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to help!
