    PLEASE RETURN THE OLD FORMAT IMMEDIATELY.

  • niloofar Mehdizadeh commented  ·   ·  Report

    Go back to the classical theme. This new format is garbage and not what the Yahoo community wants.

    the NEWEST email that was FORCED on me while i was asleep is JUNK! I have used Yahoo mail since 2005 and it has changed at least 4 times since then, but THIS June 2019 version is THE WORST and i cant take it anymore. So Now i am forced to switch to Gmail (which is rated #1) and i like it ! I am also going to investigate one or two others and then use Gmail on one other, BUT YAHOO IS NOT GOING TO WORK FOR ME. And your alleged option link to switch BACK to Basic IS NOT THERE, so YOU LIED > You are wasting my time So i am moving on

    Please go back to the old format, or give us back to option to have the classic. This new format is HORRIBLE!

    Please go back to the old format OR give us the choice to do so...this is ridiculous!

  • Laurel Osgood commented  ·   ·  Report

    Forcing us to switch to the new inbox is the worst thing you've ever done, and I've had a Yahoo email address since the early 2000s. Whoever was involved in this decision should be fired with prejudice.

    This new format is terrible. GIVE USE THE OLD FORMAT BACK!!!!!!! I didn't agree to changing and never will. If the option to change back isn't going to be available then Bye Bye yahoo for me.

  • earl stump commented  ·   ·  Report

    Who the **** gave you premission to change my mail. Put mine back to basic. Whomever dreamed up this new mail has a serious case of head in a##. Knock this **** off of changing the format without permission.

    I AGREE I WANT THE OLD FORMAT BACK!! I don't know why you change what WE use without giving us an option to keep what WE WANT!!! New version sucks; old one works better and the smile faces are SO MUCH CUTER!!! THESE DON'T HAVE NEAR THE PERSONALITY!! Janet

    Breaking my email and forcing me to pay to bring it back is the kind of thing that will finally convince me to abandon Yahoo.

  • Hugo Torres commented  ·   ·  Report

    The Classic Format must be an option. If Yahoo! wants to use a new format, that should be an option not an obligation. Please bring back the Classic Format as an option if that works better, or risk losing a good number of loyal users. Continue being smart Yahoo! Let's see what you do.

  • DAME DASH commented  ·   ·  Report

    wow, AGAIN yahoo has kicked me off of accessing this forum & i only now got back on..
    Folks, PLEASE HELP ME AND COPY/POST MY INSTRUCTIONS HERE when you comment:

    TO GET BACK CLASSIC try this, it DOES work for me

    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.
