  6. 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!!!!

  12. It doesn't need to be improved. Most commenters agree.

    So how about leaving it alone and letting us enjoy the platform? What's in it for Yahoo to upset its users?

  15. UNAUTHORIZED EMAIL SWITCH

    HOW MANY TIMES DO "WE" THE ACTUAL USERS HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR SWITCHING THE EMAIL TO YOUR ****** "NEW AND IMPROVED" NOT!!!! IS A ******** THING TO DO???

IF YOU THINK PEOPLE HATE FACEBOOK YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE YOU ARE RIGHT UP THERE AS NUMBER 2 ON THE IF I COULD SWITCH MY BUSINESS EMAIL TO SOMETHING ELSE I WOULD IN A HEARTBEAT LIST.

  16. You need to lose the "new and ******" email page. Don't need it, don't want it, and I will change it every time back to the original.

    Fire the retards that think changing things for the sake of change is a brilliant way to look busy in their cubes. They're a waste of your resources and money and will drive your customers away.

  20. With the switch, can't click on address from prior email to send message...

    It is impressive how disruptive of daily living the switch to the basic version has turned out to be. Replying and forwarding do odd formatting of the email, so that it looks a mess. The lack of continuous email exchanges fouls legislative communication. The type is too thin and light. There is no amount of money to pay to have the Classic, is there. -- Even here, even though already signed in to my email account, I have to sign in on this page? The email had been just right. -- and why am I asked to "sign in with…
