  3. Privacy Issues

    I understand that you need to post your Ads in order to sell your products however YOU are invading my personal space and privacy by NOT allowing me to decide for myself.....I have repeatedly voiced my opinion on this and yet I still continue to see your Ads....when I did not ask to see your Ads in the first place nor am I interested in purchasing your products! If I do not want Ads of any kind from any company then that is MY RIGHT NOT YOURS! Listen to the rights of the people and respect our wishes!

  4. The old version was better visually. Sad I can't get back my classic view.

    I know things have to change, but the new version is hard to look at and it's not as quick. My eyes can't handle all the bright flashing ads. It looks cheesy.

    Also, it's deceiving to make ads/promoted companies look like one of my emails in the hopes I'll mistakenly click on it.

    I know you all have to generate income but come on now. Might have to use gmail for personal emails now, too.

  8. I want my classic back!

    Much easier to navigate between multiple yahoo accounts and I like the red dot indicator for when I receive an email.

    The phone no I have on account is 86-9999999999 It does not let me delete the phone no & keeps saying it would send a code to this ph no. Every body does not have a phone. Phones can be hacked too. Phones don't work when you are traveling Internationally. I would prefer to go back to Q & Answer to prove. Today I was able to log in with luck so I am writing to you. I was not able to log in for a long time

  13. Arrow Keys to go to the Next or Previous Email

    In the new email, which is horrible, when you do a search and pull up emails, you can't just use the arrow keys to go to the next or previous email in the search. You have to go back out to the search list and click on the next or previous email. TAKES FOREVER and I don't have that kind of time when I'm trying to get work done.

  18. Stop being dictatorial towards account holders don't deny their privileges or phase out accounts.

    change your policy about naggingly requesting sign-ins as it disrupts the momentum of account holders' smooth operations in how they use email. Let them have access to their passwords without the usual harangue.
    Its a consternation and frustrating.Recently I was pulling hairs trying to open my email as Yahoo kept putting obstacles in front of me-For what purpose ?Its baffling and ludicrous !!!!
