Yahoo Mail Basic
Basic Mail provides base functionality like reading and writing messages, but does not include many of the advanced options. To use these features, we recommend upgrading to full-featured version of Yahoo Mail.

Stop switching me to the new version without my permission
Do not automatically change my old version to the new version. And do not change it after I have switched it back to the old version over 40 times. Also, your details on how to keep my old version from switching to the new version are not effective. I do not have the drop down menu items that you say that I need to have in order to make the old version permanent.

Please stop the annoying phone verification.
Like most people I talk to, I am using other email servers. This phone thing drives me crazy. You will learn after you lose your advertising revenue and no one uses it any longer.

Once you have a "BLOCKED ADDRESS", then it should be just that, BLOCKED. I have blocked 20 addresses and I am still getting mail from them.
If you have a "BLOCKED ADDRESS" then it should be blocked. I have added 20 email addresses into the BLOCKED ADDRESSES and I am still getting email from the same blocked addresses. WTF Yahoo.

Restore Classic Mail
I opened my mail this morning and some person completely changed Classic Mail. Are you people really this stupid as to keep changing what works and your users like or are you trying to make us abandon Yahoo and go to Gmail or another mail server? Because that is what is going to happen. The changes are so bad that your New Yahoo Mail looks more like the Classic Mail than the Classic Mail looks now.

Give us back the old Yahoo Mail. This new version sucks! I kept bypassing the upgrade option but you forced it on me anyway.
Stop forcing new versions on us and making things harder to find as well as things slowing down when navigating. Give me back my old email. I did not have to jump through a bunch of hoops to access all my bookmarks. The new email sucks. Change for the sake of change is a bad thing. Change that improves things is good. Stop making changes that were not needed.

Fix the ******* mail instead of breaking everything you own!
I had to switch to "classic" style because all the **** ads and trash you pile into the mail page bloats the ****** till it can't fit through a hanger. And then the mail randomly switches itself back to "new" style for a couple days before going back to what I actually set it to. The same with everything else owned by yahoo, it gets bloated, useless **** crammed in that no one ever uses and causes everything to fall apart, but instead of fixing the initial problem and getting rid of the bloat, you add more to it while…

Blocking email addresses
It would be great if I could block email addresses from spammers without having to put in the entire address for instance, requiring only
@(domain).(com)(net)(org) etc. to be entered.61st ranked -
Your Key sign in feature sucks
I was asked to transfer to a key thing, which I did. Now I can't even access my mails from my desktop and other gadgets. It used to be synchronized. Everything was going fine.
I tried following the instructions you gave. Ok, so maybe, I am too dumb and could not follow. But tell me, is it just me? I am seeing many others expressing the same discontent. I have been on this email address ever since. Sure, I can switch to another provider. It will be burdensome for me, I will need to either advise or manually change my…

I want my contacts back. Your changes are negatives. I hate your new version. Why do you think this is what we want? Get real.
Why do you make changes without thinking? If it ain't broken don't fix it. I lost my entire contact list and there is no option to fix on the basic site because your changes are messing it up. Stop trying to make something people DONT want!

Switch it back to the Yahoo Classic mail. The new version is the worst one available on the web...
The functionality is non-existent. You have to click through every thing. Nothing is intuitive or where you expect it to be. There are Ads below the buttons, which makes no sense at all. Things take forever to load, upload, and attach. You have a dumb pop-up confirmation window that you have to click through after sending the message (USELESS! Give me a pop-up if it is NOT successful.) It looks like *, functions like *, and makes no sense at all how the page, button, and things are organized. All that being said, the Basic version is leaps…

Tabs in basic version is missing
I can't work with this new version. everything takes sooo long.
the window changes it size all the time and I can't reply an email like that.
I switched back to the basic version but I miss the tabs.. can't open few email on the same time and switch between them.
Also, "Enable conversations" is a good option to add to the basic version, but only as an optional.
I wish you had a phone number because it is difficult for me to express myself and explain everything in English and in writing...61st ranked -

Search Email does not work
Email searching does not work in either the old or new Yahoo Mail. In the old version it triggers an error and in the new version it returns zero results, even if I type in something from a recent email.
