  3. I am never going to have Verizon phone and I will never pay them anything. All my contacts have this email address & I will have to change

    I will never pay Verizon a dime.
    I DO NOT WANT THAT for my e-mail.
    You do that, I will have to change to another e-mail carrier that will not mess around with me.
    Why would you do such a thing?

  4. OMG no! NOT verizon. Should I bail now?

    OMG. Yahoo sold out. And to one of the worst companies ever.
    The long winded tos does not even MENTION will our email stay the same? Will there be support at all? Yahoo had some. Verizon I had for our phone and they were HORRIBLE!!!!!! I sure hope maybe they learned not to treat customers like garbage. But considering we are free users, I don't see any hope here. Gees, I hate moving everything to a new email. But I have a bad feeling that's exactly what's going to happen. This will go the way of AOL. You know, from…

  5. Please don't get any ideas about Yahoo Mail

    Recently Yahoo Finance changed its site design. In the process they destroyed a functioning site, generated many bugs, and upset most of their users. A note to Yahoo Mail: Please don't get any ideas redesigning the the Mail pages. Many people like the classic Mail pages, which work just fine.

    If you find the need to create some work for your technical staff, please approach the task with forethought and a plan. Act as adult professionals and preview any changes with your users before you blunder into it (like the misguided hacks at Yahoo Finance). Thank you.

  11. It wasn't broken

    If it ain't broke don't fix it. This has been a saying for years and yet you can't even follow this simple rule. Bring back the old email and quit trying to pigeon hole us into using a browser we don't want.

    Strange, for some reason we couldn't complete your request. Would you please try again? - Yahoo

    Fix the ability to include attachments. You are doing a great disservice to your users, apparently a serious problem for some time.

  18. Make it quick!

    I clicked on Feedback button, and now I'm being asked to give suggestions for improvement! What nonsense is this? For heaven's sake open your eyes and mind. Have you ever tried to use this horrible mail service yourself? I have to wait for EONS after clicking the compose button for the email composing window to appear. Same is is the case with every other operation such as moving the mail to another folder, for instance. And all the time I have to wait my lifetime for that message 'waiting for s.yimg' and other of the same nature. ****, is the…
