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.

For the past week your email site is really slow I am sure it is to do with the adverts that are put up at the side it is becoming unusable

Site is very unresponsive. It takes me a full minute to select and delete one email.

What did you do to make deleting mail to take 5 min to delete one Item?
It never took this long. I can select e-mails to be deleted, play a game of solitaire, go back in my mail and nothing was deleted. Can you speed up the deleting process. Yes I like the old classic format better.thank you

I bet in a very short time you can have it where it doesn't work at all. Thanks

The new email reminds me of being connected with a 56K modem

Go back to the classic email format. This so called upgrade is a downgrade to dial up speed.

Sending emails takes forever I watch the little circle go round and round. Search is off base and slow. Everything is a mess and it is really taking a toll on my business trying to use Yahoo mail. Before it was great, now it is TORTURE. GO BACK TO THE OLD MAIL. THIS ONE IS TOO BUGGY AND BROKEN. GO BACK TO WHAT WAS NOT BROKEN!!!

SERIOUSLY! This slow typing is terrible, and Yahoo is not fixing it.
Being forced to New Mail (which is also terrible) is bad enough. The lack of options is very frustrating.The slow typing is the worst, and if it doesn't improve, I'm definitely leaving Yahoo Mail. IT'S FAILING AT THE MOST BASIC FUNCTION - WRITING EMAIL!!! Think about how bad that is. Even if Yahoo now mainly exists to harvest data, you won't get far if people get so frustrated that they DROP YAHOO.

I hate yahoo new mail. Its slow, cumbersome and just plain *****. Yahoo has been my primary email, but if things don't get better fast, my gmail will become my primary account. You guys will go under if you don't go back to the old mail, this is horrible and I have a lot of company in this thought.

The search function does not work or sort properly. When I go into advanced search and put the custom dates in it comes up with nothing when I know I have emails in that range, I have to reload over and over for it to finally find them. Then we I want only emails with a keyword in my inbox it comes up with everything, I have tried over and over and it won't separate them out. Plus it so super 1992 slow. THIS NEW MAIL IS THE WORST MOST HORRIBLE VERSION OF YAHOO SINCE THEY TOOK THE TABS OUT, ACTUALLY THAT ONE WAS BETTER AND THEY PUT THE TABS RIGHT BACK IN. I WANT MY OLD MAIL BACK THIS ONE IS A MAJOR FAILURE ON THE DEVELOPERS, ENGINEERS, YAHOO AND VERIZON.

I can see the content of the attachments but I cannot download the attachments to my file system. The help indicates there are suppose to be blue links for each attachment; there are no links. The attachment paper clip icon does nothing.

New yahoo mail is very slow and unresponsive compared to classic version of yahoo. Old one is very sophisticated system in all things.Kindly note this slowness issue.
And need to show the counts of mails in both inbox and spam folders ,it is very useful to find if any new mails i have received. Now if i want to saw the new mails , i need to refresh the whole page .
These issues are very annoying . Kindly note these issues and try to recover it ASAP.

Both email clients are horrible now, Not only did you have to ruin the classic full featured, you had to go in and ***** up the basic mail too. There is nothing but bugs slow and ugly formats. Not functional
Worst ever -
