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.

The new version of Yahoo Mail slows down the response time and performance of my Mac computer, and every now and again I get a message pop up in my Yahoo Mail window that says "Closing this window will improve the responsiveness of your Mac".
The speed at which you type an email comes out on the page much slower than usual and you often hear the computer's fan's coming on, meaning it must be using a lot of energy just to use this version of Yahoo Mail.
I want to switch back to Classic Yahoo Mail to stop all these issues.
I am using the latest version of Mac Mojave OS10.14.3 in Safari. Perhaps Yahoo has only thought of Windows users when developing this new version of Yahoo mail?

I am trying to write an email and while my cursor never leaves the document I keep being redirected involuntarily to some ad site. It is not simply annoying. It feels like a privacy violation.

Yahoo Mail now takes twice as long to download. I've tried all of the ideas that I have found on forums, but none work. What is the problem?

I absolutely detest your new format. Its slower than a snail and it doesn't even look good. Why did you change it? SWITCH BACK TO CLASSIC!

When dragging an email from the Inbox into a folder, the folder list does not move smoothly, making it much harder and slower to get to the right folder. The old format was much better!

Yahoo has become really really poor. Won't even enter letters without a lot of my effort.
NOW the "forward" an email button has been greyed out so I cannot forward an email I want to.

Notifications are "On" in Yahoo mail
Notifications are allowed in Chrome (https://mail.yahoo.com)But nothing appears as a notification.
Could you use the built in Notifications in Windows 10 (same as Facebook etc)

REFRAIN FROM UPDATING ON WORK DAYS!! Your update deleted my work email!!!
Maybe ASK if I am unsatisfied with the current version before "improving" with longer loading times and useless features.
I just want to be able to send and receive emails.
It should be simple!!!!!!!!!!1 -

In this last update 4/25/19 when I go to E-mail, favorites, it brings up all email addresses my contacts have ever had. I have deleted all old email addresses and the old ones keep coming back. Please fix this problem or as a long time subscriber I will change to another service.
