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.

Aside from your blatant political bias, your "Big Brother" approach to my (our) account is astonishing. Emojis? Font? Themes?
Stop acting like a Government agency. Don't force your fake news and account changes down our throats on a regular basis. Get back to acting like a conscientious company.

I don't want the new ********. I want my older, classic e-mail.
Bring back the older, better, classic setup. And stop changing anything. You don't need to look like Outlook/Hotmail or even Gmail. That is what I see yahoo doing, copying other e-mail, and they need to stop, and stay unique. I don't want to look at one e-mail and forget what I am looking at. This new stuff, and hitting shift-k to mark messages as read is utter ********.

How can you improve the basic version of Yahoo mail, you can leave it just like it is. Plain old basic version.
Basic Yahoo mail is just fine. Quit forcing the change on me to a new look and feel periodically when I log in. Your newer versions are ****. An inbox and the ability to have folders to move stuff to is all you need in email.

The "go back to old version" option under Account Info does not restore the functions of the old version.
In the first place, the information given in "help" was not accurate, as far as I could tell. I couldn't find Steps 3 and 4 as described in the directions, in which I would be asked for my reasons for wanting to switch back to the old version.
Nothing happened until I clicked "Go". As soon as I did that, the dialogue box closed and my screen went back to my Inbox.
Although I'm supposedly in the old version, I still can't fill in the bcc list of recipients to an email directly from a sub-list in my Contacts. I…372nd ranked -

Please make deleting messages from a specific sender easier.
Please make deleting messages from a specific sender easier. Something like Micro***t mails "sweep" feature. Sorting, searching, then clicking box after box to select messages to delete takes forever. Cant I just select one message then have an option to "select all from sender" then delete? With the sorting option it allows me to group messages by sender by I still have to deal with clicking every single message one by one so I select the messages from the one sender. Its time consuming. Please make it easier

I do not want to have to get a phone call just to open mail
I do not want to have to get a phone call or text just to read my mail, just because I cleared my cache. This is too much - how can I change my settings to just sign in with my ID and password - whether I am at home or on my work computer?

make "go to old version" permanent
Clicking on "go to old version" should be permanent, not something that has to be redone EVERY time I log in. Seriously, are you TRYING to lose customers by making things clunky and an assault on the senses?

Yahoo ruined the basic mail. Just can't keep well enough alone, right? Who is the "master mind" behind this? Egad.
The best way to solve the problem is change it back the way it was. There was nothing wrong with it before. I have had the basic mail for about 20 years now. This really hurts. jrm713@yahoo.com

STOP forcing the new email interface on users who HATE IT!
Why are you forcing the new email format on us? STOP IT!!! I can't make it stay in the classic interface. This is NOT useful, and is LOUSY customer service. At least let users select which interface they want and then KEEP IT ON THAT CHOICE, having to select old version every time I log in is a pain.
