  4. Font is way TOO SMALL!! Fix immediately or we will go to GMAIL!!

    Stop switching our email format! There is NO "settings" icon in the upper right hand corner so I CANNOT switch back! This email account is used for business and we CANNOT READ OUR EMAILS because the font is microscopic!!!!

  9. Bring Back Mail BLOCKING

    I am hit every day with SPAM. I mark it as SPAM and that does no good. The "Unsubscribe" links don't work, either. So, how can I stop receiving SPAM from this annoying website? BLOCKING would be helpful since nothing else works.

  12. Add Chromium as supported browser

    Chromium is a faster web browser than Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Explorer, Tor, etc. Yahoo! mail is distinguished by its lack of versatility when it comes to supporting other web browsers, it makes the platform rigid against other email providers, and ultimately it may also cost Yahoo! mail lose clients.

  13. Give me back the old system, we don't like the new one, cant change fonts or colors. Bad choice in this selection.

    Why do you think you are helping folks you only make it worse and worse each time you think we need something changed. No font changes or colors. Change it now. We older folks want the old way NOW. Are you uneducated people or ignorant to the world. Not everyone wants the system changed.

  16. Please leave my mail account alone. I want the old format back. You new format takes up more than a page and is silly.

    Go back to the old version of mail. I did not request a new format and am not pleased with having it foisted on me. Leave things alone and if you allow feedback actually allow us to leave it not just write it and watch it sit there not going anywhere.
