Yahoo mail is so slow
Yahoo mail is so so so slow on my computer. I've been using my college email address instead (gmail) because it works so much better. However, now that I am about to graduate I have been using my yahoo email more - but it's just so frustrating how glitchy and slow it is. I really do not want to have to get an entire new email address (I would definitely use gmail if I made a new one) but if this isn't fixed soon I'm not going to have a choice.

Also, please make sure to update your browser and if the problem still persists try to access Yahoo Mail in another browser.

The Message Preview toggle switch doesn't work. I have it turned off and it works for awhile and then all of a sudden, it stops working. When I go into settings to turn it off again, it IS already off, but the previews keep going. I'm not sure what is resetting it, but how about defaulting it to OFF.

My "More Settings" is failing to load due to a "temporary error."

It is extremely slow when composing an email and even sending them as I keep having them returned. Please fix it.

Yahoo mail = **** as always! Slow to upload attachments, ads, heavy on pc resources, I wish I would have never signed up for Yahoo mail 30 years ago, **** AS IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN, gmail is 100 times better...

Keep getting PAGE UNRESPONSIVE - AKTRACK.PUBMATIC.COM - on my INBOX when using CHROME. All day. Every Day. Reboot, and open mail - only get this when using yahoo mail. Hotmail and others are fine. Assuming it's the ad windows with the "AKTRACK.PUBMATIC.COM" in the actual error..... has been happening more and more in 2020

Two days ago, the layout in the Basic version of Yahoo Mail changed in a way, that lets the Mail portion barely take half of a low resolution screen (I am using 1024x768). Instead the reserved space for sidebar ads was increased, although these advertisements do not even have the size to fill it out, leaving a blank portion on the right side.
It is more uncomfortable to read in this reduced space and also makes some interface elements inaccessable.
The New version of Yahoo Mail still shows regular proportions, so I have to assume, this is a mistake. Would be nice, if you could have a look into this and possibly reverse this change. -

been trying for months to get tech help because my mailbox keeps resizing itself every 5 seconds. I can't even open my settings because the window will close before I can even read the selections, much less act on them. I try to get help, and you want me to pay you to get help to make your program actually work. I will find a new mail system first. I'm using Chrome.

I cannot see the entire or whole email in the inbox. The margin of page leaves too much space on the right.It's put the the ad more to the center so you have to scroll to the right of the email to see the entire email. Fix the configuration and formatting.

You try to click the box to select and it opens the email, can not delete anything. You click the box to select and it opens the email. I have other email (like my gmail) that I can open in yahoo mail, well that doesn't work either. I don't what the heck all yall been doing but it has been a whole lot of nothing

Recently the yahoo mailbox is very annoying. I believe the main area of the emailbox keep automatically zoom in and zoom out, due to the appearance/disappearance of the rightbar advertisement. This is serious defect and please fix immediately!
