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.

Yahoo mail just changed to the new format. It is more like MSN and Google. I do not use those because the performance is so bad.
Anyone with a slower network bandwidth will hate this new format. It sucks up too much of the connection.It also causes my computer to slow down.
You should have a version for those who have a slower internet and computer.
I have had this email for 20 years, and now I have to consider moving.

Yahoo email has become frustratingly slow and non responsive.
The biggest problem though is the fact that even though thousands have complained and patiently voiced their utter dissatisfaction YAHOO failed to respond.
Please YAHOO executives.... tell us if you are happy sitting back and see us in agony trying to use what by now has become a mediocre service, so we can safely abandon a service we used happily for years!!!

Are you going to fix the "new" email format - It is SLOW - does not work that is why I kept on Basic. Now that I have been forced to use the new format I will be looking for a new provider - very sad after beingwith Yahoo for over 20 years!

The new format with the ads on the left side of the email client are causing email crashes so emails are being lost before they are saved as drafts.
I have been using yahoo for years but I think its time to completely transition to Gmail. Thanks for your good years of service but I think your sun has set like AOL. -

New format slows down my PC.
I want to have the possibility to switch back to the old format, that is simpler and fast.
Why every "improvement" leads to slowness and more intrusive advertising?? -

When I'm trying to read an email in which the text is wider than the small box you've provided to view it in, I don't know how to see any text to the right of your border. I don't see a zoom button so I could zoom out and view all of the text. I don't see a scroll bar so that I could view the ends of the sentences. With this format, you've stolen my ability to view part of my messages.

And the scroll keeps jumping backwards within the email AND within the Inbox list. Plus the mouse wheel doesn't work. And once you get down 4 or 5 days javascript keeps freezing everything every time you click on something and if you click again because the browser proclaims Not Responding, then it will open the wrong email AND open links within the email MULTIPLE times presumably based upon the clicks made while being told Not Responding.
This is enough of an issue that I am ready to abandon my 15 year old Yahoo. account. SUXXXXXXX -

Bring back pages. Get rid of continuous scroll. It keeps freezing and opening the wrong email. Also Move to folders is faulty without the Action button after choosing a folder since it keeps stopping on the wrong folder when it freezes up (I guess because it is too busy trying to populate the ad space instead of continuing the action already in progress). This version SUCKS!!!! Pay for my new PC or return me to a version that works on my old machine. Thanks.
