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.

Please try clearing cookies, cache, history, and footprints. To do so, please go to https://help.yahoo.com/kb/new-mail-for-desktop/sln27197.html
Also, please make sure to update your browser and if the problem still persists try to access Yahoo Mail in another browser.

I don't know how this format is better. I can't delete emails. It take me forever to do what I need to now. Please fix it..

The screen does not catch up populating when navigating up and down emails. The same problem happens when navigating up and down to find a folder. The screen goes blank and it is not possible to see at what point I landed in the page. This forces me to stop multiple times instead of navigating straight to the wanted email (or wanted folder). In addition, the layout keeps moving and changing, sometimes when using the cursor and other times even when not touching anything: it makes impossible to reach the point that I want in a single move. You are so incompetent and should have never launched a new version while not fully operative. It shows your lack of care to customers, irresponsibility and low quality. You force people to switch to this new stupid version and you do not deliver a quality product. And this problem is going on for several weeks, which proves how incompetent all of you are. You are a bunch of ********, incompetent, selfish millenials that can't be trusted. Go to **** all of you bastards. Fix this **** immediately.

Every time Yahoo updates the email program we lose access to our emails. STOP THE UPDATES!

After several seconds, tabs disappear, even if I have more tha one open. This is BUG and it needs to be fixed. I opened them for a reason, not just for something to do. PUT BACK CLASSIC until you get the "new" version ready for market. You seem to see mail, calendar, notes, contacts, as separate products. Your users do not. We see it as a seamless, single product. It used to look that way. Now it doesn't.

Make yahoo function better, stop freezing, have the features you say you have, and have them actually work. stop spending all this time "tweaking" the format, and developing layout changes. Stop! have your mail service work more effectively and efficiently.

Change the email back. I can't get into my contacts in business email. Hellllooo Yahoo! What were you all thinking? Apparently you have no clue how to use email. Also when I try to reply, the email jumps all over the place. You have cost me so much time and money. The new email is certainly not business or user friendly.

Put the email back like it was. I can't get into my contacts in the business mail. And when I try to reply, the email jumps around all over the place. What were you all thinking? Apparently you have no idea how to use email or you wouldn't have changed it. I need to get into my business email contacts. You have cost me a lot of money.

After you FORCED ME to switch to the new Yahoo Mail (Aug 2019) within a couple of days of using it I am already VERY irritated with how slow the screen populates when navigating up and down unread emails and email folders. In addition, for no reason the screen suddenly blinks and the layout is modified on its own and then changes back, which causes delays and it is quite annoying to say the least. No: do not blame the old Yahoo Mail version (Classic) as this was not happening before I switched to the new one. No: do not blame my computer (it is new and has a super fast speed). No: do not blame any virus and the such: there is no virus whatsoever nor cookies or cache that needs to be cleaned out from my machine as it is kept in lean and safe condition. No: do not blame the browser (I love Firefox and WILL NOT change). No: do not blame the fact I use Adblock Plus (I very much do hate all your ads, Yahoo people). The blame is (as it has always been) on YOU, Yahoo people. Yes, you disrupt everything because your work is terrible and you cut corners. I hate the work you do and what you have always called an "improvement" in my many years of being an user has always been translated into USELESS features that may satisfy our own ego to the expense of my time and patience. Your "Look-mommy-what-I-did-today" does not impress me at all. Your "Look-boss-what-I-can-do-to-keep-my-job" is irrelevant to me and if I was your boss you would be fired by now for creating such lame email versions that only make peoples lives more complex. I see your "features" as excessive, unwanted stuff that is extremely irrelevant and just takes space and time from computer resources. Now this slowness in populating the screen while we simply navigate to execute BASIC tasks. Fix this stupid failed creation of yours immediately!

This is the worst email program I have ever used...My accounts disappear and I have to keep adding them back in. Even then I cannot view all 3 accounts. I can not see if I have mail in spampr or trash but no matter because when I try to delete emails...they do NOT delete. It is a horrid program and gets worse everytime it is changed. Why do you change it if the old one is working...This one though is the WORST..i REALLY HAVE TO SET UP GMAIL I SUPPOSE

Speed up Yahoo mail! I click on something, go do a project, then come back to see if yahoo mail has moved at all. Our family jokes around, it reminds us of the dial up days when you'd start your computer, then go take a shower and brush your teeth, hoping your internet would be up by the time you were done. Not so hot in 2019! We don't need the nostalgia, speed it up. (I chose "other" as my category because all wasn't an option)
