Fix Adding Contacts to Lists in Yahoo New Mail
Expand Manage Contacts in Yahoo New Mail, to add the ability to add an existing contact to a previously established "List". This feature is available in Yahoo Classic but not in Yahoo New Mail.

I need to add people to an existing group list. Even though they are in my contact list, when I search for them to add them to the list, they do not show up. No way to add them to an existing group list when editing the contact itself. Group lists are completely useless to me unless I created them in the old version.

It's quite easy to delete a contact from a particular list - just click on the cross next to their name - but I'm still not sure whether this action deletes the contact entirely. I agree with most of the complaints already posted though. It's a dog, whereas before it worked simply most of the time.

I don't know why Yahoo keeps changing things that were working just fine! How can I switch back to Yahoo Classic? If you're going to change something, make sure it works first and avoid lots of unhappy Yahoo users. None of us want things to be changed, especially if they no longer work!

New mail has the ability to add an existing Contact to another list, but it doesn't work! It's nearly driving me mad trying to get it to work. The Help instructions aren't very clear either!

Amen, Anonymous! Every point you make is true. This new version sucks big time. Especially that you can't go to an existing contact and see what lists they might be assigned to. If the squirrels in the cages that ***** up these systems are listening, maybe I should repeat what you said:
There is no way to see which Group List a contact belongs to via the Contact list.
When creating a contact, there is no way to add them to a Group List at the same time.
There is no way to add a contact to multiple Group Lists at one time.
There is no to tell if a contact already exists in your Contact list from emails.
There is no way to add a new contact directly from e-mails.
There is still no way to list all contacts that are unfiled (not assigned to any Group list). -

Yahoo needs to fix this immediately. What are you thinking. Using email Lists is extremely important. I cannot figure out how to add existing contacts to a list!!

All the following used to exist in the previous version of Yahoo Mail. Now,
There is no way to see which Group List a contact belongs to via the Contact list.
When creating a contact, there is no way to add them to a Group List at the same time.
There is no way to add a contact to multiple Group Lists at one time.
There is no to tell if a contact already exists in your Contact list from emails.
There is no way to add a new contact directly from e-mails.
There is still no way to list all contacts that are unfiled (not assigned to any Group list).If any of this still exists, it is not obvious. Really cripples using Yahoo Mail like before.
Please restore functionality!

Removing the feature to Manage Contacts in Yahoo New Mail was a very Bad idea. You have made it a complete hassle to use yahoo mail. It is NOT user friendly or efficient anymore. I have select groups of people or organizations I need to send specific emails. Instead, I have to manually type each and every email address to a group of recipients. This is a total waste of time. Very unhappy with the New Mail system.

After several emails with Yahoo's help people about this very issue, this is what I received back: "It looks like we've provided all the information we can regarding this issue. Because of this, we can't provide any additional assistance at this time.'
Wow! great customer service! -

I totally agree. I use lists with my contacts so that I can send out emails to a group of people at once and don't need to add them each individually. It looks like the new version only allows you to select your old lists, but not to add or delete people from them. This is very disheartening and should be an easy fix to allow us to add and delete people from lists, as well as add new lists to our address books.
