Hey Yahoo, you're so big on "clapping back" and showing us the latest "hack" for something, so I'm CLAPPING BACK and I want to know the HACK for getting back into the CLASSIC E-MAIL. I figured that if I spoke to you in your favorite phrases you might perhaps listen? GIVE US BACK THE CLASSIC MAIL! The new garbage you foisted on us is atrocious. Is anybody at Yahoo listening???

The new version looks ugly and irritates me in all its design versions. I don't need colors and pictures, they only distract my attention. I like it simple and colorless - that is, white plus very light blueish gray, that's all. And the "basic" version, offered as the only official alternative, is ugly functionally. Thanks to all those who posted here an instruction on how to get the classic version back! Dear Yahoo managers, please just don't touch it.

This is not a feedback system. This is an FAQ search box. That being said Change the mail back to the old format. The new one sucks and I didnt change to it years ago when you debuted it because I thought it sucked then and it still sucks know. Stop trying to poorly imitate outlook or gmail. This is why no one likes you Yahoo. You do everything wrong.

I'm close to switching to gmail. This new format is terrible. Its much slower and sloppy looking. Someone at Yahoo! needed to justify their job with a redesign. They had one job and failed.

It is NOW past time for you to read and respond to customer complaints about your
''New'' and ''Upgraded'' Yahoo/Verizon email format.ANY competent and in charge
executive would have recognized the problems which exist within this new format and
remedied these deficiencies long before now. As you have been specifically informed
by 2300 customer complaints( and still counting) what was needed to be done to remedy
this situation, then your inability to do so is inexcusable. All you really had to do was
reestablish the VERY in demand Classic Mail format, and if necessary include what
you have deemed so necessary for the ''New'' format which really just appears to
be an increase in storage and a couple of incidental additions. You have repeatedly
failed in every significant category here. Therefore, do everyone at Yahoo/ Verizon,
whether corporation or customer, a favor and RESIGN now. It should be obvious
to everyone that you are incapable of doing your job. Personally, I am sick of
your nonsense in the form of what your wonderful ''New '' format provides. You
resignation will hopefully result in a new Yahoo/Verizon program head being able
to resolve an email format problem which is beyond either your inclination or
your ability. In short, your resignation should be a welcome relief to both the
company and its customers. -

I hate your "New Mail" format. You switched it up on me and now I cannot go back to the old. Just the Older than Older with no options for appearance. It SUCKS>

To do the change automatically was a rotten trick. I HATE THE NEW FORMAT. It isn't that I dislike it or I'm unpleased with it. I HATE IT!

7) Raise middle finger of victory and KEEP SENDING YAHOO YOUR SENTIMENTSome 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.
