    I hate this new format ! .... how do I get my Mail Classic back

  • Dennis Clark commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is so frustrating why can't we just leave BASIC Mail alone.

  • Jim commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a nightmare, you ALWAYS break what works. Please, ho do I get my Mail Classic back from this mess?
    Thank you.

  • A commented  ·   ·  Report

    If it ain't broke, don't "fix" it. Give us old email back. Nothing redeeming about the "new", it's just EW..

    Yahoo/Verizon, you now have 1900 complaints from loyal customers relating to this ''New''
    and ''Upgraded'' email format. The request is simply to return to Classic Mail or return
    to Classic Mail with whatever '' additions'' you decided were necessary for this new and
    vastly inferior format being complained about. You (Yahoo/Verizon) have not even shown
    the courtesy of a reply to your customers. Tell me , why have a FEEDBACK section
    if you do not even intend to reply? Do you believe your customers to be that stupid?
    Presently, you deserve to lose all your customers.

    Need your IT to reset that settings button so we can go back to basic or classic. This format is no good. Don't have an option to change your mail settings in this ****** set up. Need to make it easier or people will flock away

  • Wes Boger commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yeah this sucks. All the themes are very ******* the eyes. Maybe it's time to make that switch to Gmail that I have been putting off for the last 15 years...

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    This new format is absolutely AWFUL!!!
    When I print something now, I don't get the email or link printed as I see it, it adds all the junk and garbage on the right and left margins, leaving the text tiny and almost unreadable.
    This is just ****.
    May switch to gmail now

    You ask for our feedback but don't respond. The new e-mail format is horrible, practically useless. WE WANT OUR OLD E-MAIL FORMAT BACK!

    so 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.
