Would like to know why yahoo is changing my e-mail format for me. I like what I have and don't want it changed.

Stop trying to reinvent the wheel. There was nothing wrong with the older version. Somebody at Yahoo thinks that things always need to be changing.
Stop it!
Find something else better to do.

Have used yahoo for years but hate the new format mat and I guess you have now lost a client HATE THE NEW MAIL. want the old mail back. what is wrong with Yahoo that they have to change something that was not broken.

PLEASE RESTORE OLD EMAIL. I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY SEEING THIS NEW EMAIL NO MATTER WHAT I DO.

wow...AGAIN yahoo bumped me out of this forum for posting info they don't like...

POSSIBLE WAY TO GET BACK CLASSIC try this, it DOES work for me
PLEASE HELP ME AND KEEP COPYING AND PASTING MY INSTRUCTIONS HERE

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

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.

How do I get my old e mail format back?
I want the old format back

I want my Classic Yahoo Mail back please!

Bring back the bloody classic version. This one is a waste of my time. WTF!!!!

I hate the new format, stop pushing this ****** new format on your loyal users. I am thinking of moving to Gmail unless you change back to old format.

You stole my email! I want my email back like it was, stop with the new format ****, THIEF! YOU! STOP! just because you think it's needed to provide an update, if we don't want the update, your just screwing up a good thing!

I want the old e-mail format.

The new email sucks, I want the old format back. I didn't ask for a new format and your removing it is like you stole my email. THIEF! YOU! STOP!

old version looked more stable, I can't even find option to switch to basic format in settings window now

I cannot read the names of my folders. Plus the subfolders are not indented enough. Please bring back the old yahoo.

I like old email format please change back

Why did you feel it necessary to mess up a perfectly good format? Why??!!

I am using only yahoo mail since ca. 1998 for all working purposes including publication and editorial work too but actual changes push me to use other e-mail providers. I am not able even to write e-mail without problems, this is considerable level of author´s incompetency. Change of e-mail style without option to stay in the old/previous formal style is, with all respect, stupidity. GIVE BACK previous format or feedback that you will ignore thousands of negative feedbacks! In the meantime, I am going to create new account with other provider hope for next 20 years again!!!
