    The new format absolutely SUCKS! Why do you people keep messing with things, and don't fix stuff you SHOULD fix? I see nothing that works any better, all it is is different. Bring back the old format and LEAVE IT ALONE!!!

    I hate this new mail. I click on a friends mail and it kicks me to a new page and I have to get all the way out and have to log back into yahoo. I can not even answer mail. I hate this and am very seriously thinking of switching to google and leaving Yahoo altogether.

    I found a way::: I'm using Win-10. In the new "improved" version, in upper right corner, click on tiny "contacts" icon thereby loading your email contacts. Allow contacts to load. Then, on MY screen in the upper LEFT corner, I click on the email (envelope) icon, and VOILA! , Old Version RETURNS! Hope this works for YOU, and that THEY don't read this and try to FIX it!!! . . . :)

    This new format, excuse the language, SUCKS !. I feel like a toddler within a play pen and I am an adult needing my freedom. Give the old back!

    I vowed to make at least one complaint every day about this new e-mail format, which is atrocious. I HATE IT AND I WANT MY OLD CLASSIC MAIL BACK! Did you actually pay somebody to come up with this garbage?

    AGAIN yahoo has kicked me off of accessing this forum..See story below.
    PLEASE HELP ME AND COPY/POST MY INSTRUCTIONS HERE when you comment:

    TO GET BACK CLASSIC try this:

    1) Open and log into sh*tty new Yahoo email if you aren't already
    2) Copy this text: https://mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?action=mails
    3) Open a new Chrome browser window while keeping sh*tty one open
    4) Paste the text into new brower window
    5) Close sh*tty new yahoo browser window
    6) if it worked, BOOKMARK copied link in new window (this is important as it will become your goto-button everytime you log in to get back to Classic)
    7) Raise middle finger of victory and KEEP SENDING YAHOO YOUR SENTIMENT

    Some here know that i've been posting these instructions for some time now. Recently i had to take an unexpected break. But i'm back again now. To post on these message boards requires a minimum age of 13 years old. Apparently Yahoo got sick of me posting this hack around their awful new system and actually went into my account and reduced my age to below 13 (!) Tuff gig to justify given i've had my yahoo acct more than 20 years. Perhaps they're trying to tell me that i'm being, uh, childish about continually helping people get back to Classic mail? Whatever. Interestingly however, this is NOT the first time that Yahoo staff has directly gone into my personal account and made changes due to my continually expressing outrage at their absolute blatant disregard for customer requests. They know that nobody wants these changes. They know good and well. "Gathering Feedback"..ha, ya right. But the fact is, they simply do not give a rats fat one.

    Why? Well there are a few reasons. One is that Yahoo has become an overly corporate controlled mess full of so called leaders who really don't know much what they're doing and have to justify their over-compensated pay rates somehow; hence "improvements" by said "experts" MUST be made. Another is that if they push the garbage new system for free they can then offer to do you the "favor" of changing it back if you pay for their service now. Heck you've registered your email and domain names with them so all your social and business contacts are used to reaching you in a certain way, so they figure why not use that control they have over the contacts YOU'VE built up over decades to force new changes on you, right? I mean after all, if you don't like it they can sit back smugly and say that you have options: to move to a new "provider". At your own time and expense. At your own efforts to inform all the contacts you've built up over years to adjust to your new info. No problem.

    But that's not the ultimate reason. The most fundamental ultimate underlying reason for all these garbage changes is something they really really don't want you or anyone to know about. If they did, they would simply state why it is they are forcing everyone to endure these changes without explanation. The real reason has to do with a new system that is monumentally easier for everything in it, (and i do mean EVERYTHING...everything typed, clicked, and sent) to be MONITORED. The new system includes extreme monitoring capabilities; everything you write in an email or message, or even write then edit and finally send, can be tracked and searched for patterns. Coupled with advanced computing capabilities, such patterns can be used to deduce nearly every detail about an individual. Routines, interests, contacts, just about everything really. This can be used in a variety of ways: advertisements tapered specifically to you, knowledge of your daily routines for tracking purposes, terrorism and natl security threat detection, U-name it. And while a ton of excuses can be used to justify all of this snooping, what it really boils down to is just flat out CONTROL. Try having a deep conversation with a typical CEO and you'll get an idea just how much control-freak paranoia characterizes those running anything at the top level.

    So i think people can protest here until they're blue in the fingertips about how much they dont want yahoo measuring thru every inch of **** that comes out our butts. Ultimately yahoo cares not at all what we want. But again, since i obviously in Yahoo's eyes have the mental level of a sub-13 year old, perhaps i'm just a whiny child with nothing really worthy to say. Right yahoo? Guess they'll just keep on trying to figure out ways to censor me. Whatever. If thats how i'm viewed, i might as well keep writing like a child. Yahoo: suck mine and swallow all nine. Try not to choke on the bone, yo. Have a nice day.

    Ditto--- Specifically I want "open in new tab" for e-mails as a choice (right-click ). I want the side of my screen back for messages, and a choice again in settings to change to "classic" e-mail.
    LISTEN TO ALL OF THE POSTS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

    Agree with all complaints here! Please revert to previous Yahoo Mail. This new version is not user-friendly, intuitive or appealing in any way.

  • Robert Craven commented  ·   ·  Report

    And, how can I get rid of this supposed new mail that I don't like in both my yahoo.com sites

  • Robert Craven commented  ·   ·  Report

    Every day, you showed me a draft that there was "New" mail. BUT, I don't want it. What do I have to do to get my CLASSIC back

  • j l commented  ·   ·  Report
