    I hate the new mail format. I would like to go back to the way it was before you did this update.

  • Lynn Galle commented  ·   ·  Report

    Totally agree - SO happy to be able to return to the former classic email!

    The new email format is hard to read -color background do not significantly highlight emails that are not read. When writing emails, the ability to change font colors sizing, type of font, spellcheck is not available on new email version. Keep old email version, easy to read and write

  • Alexandra Van Dyck commented  ·   ·  Report

    There is too much bold font. Subject of the message only in bold.

    Get rid of the round icons for each sender; they are not helpful and distracting. Simple is best.

    Keep the time divisions in the Inbox. "yesterday" "last week" then the months. They are so helpful.

    The old yahoo is so much easier on the eyes, simple, clear.

    The whole Yahoo mail SUCKS!!!!!!!!

    -No way to do an automated spell check before sending
    -No way to post date an email or set up a vacation message for incoming message
    -AND every since I had to use YAHOO instead of Outlook to send messages I am UNABLE to set up Outlook to connect with Yahoo mail, and I'll be damned if I will pay $5 a month for "mail" support. I'll use GMAIL instead.

    I want to say a big THANK YOU to Yahoo for restoring the old Yahoo Mail format as an option. I feel so much better already.

  • Jean Martin commented  ·   ·  Report

    I do only simple work on my computer. the email I am getting has places I do not go ever, I do not shop online I look a lot and I research. Please leave the classic email alone. Sometimes you get right the first time. AI yea, let's make everyone sound the same bland nobody. How sad,

  • Austin Blevins commented  ·   ·  Report

    Same!
    What a relief to see that option there today!

    A few points for me:
    - The clearly defined columns and column spacing makes gleaning information from the list of emails MUCH simpler. The new layout had a dynamic column size per line that made it a total mess.
    - The color options in class were much more readable. Pure white text on pure black background is harsh and uncomfortable, my classic uses the blue background which is a nice medium between the light and dark modes. The lighter BG in the menus and the slightly darker BG in the main list makes it easy to visually move between the two sets of items on the screen.
    - Simple bolding of email text in the inbox is a clear indicator of read vs unread, whoever thought the new interface was easy was trying to re-invent the wheel for no reason.
    - The AI summaries were awful! Had one making up items on an order which have me worried I accidentally bout 2x $700 items when I only wanted one! The subject line IS the general summary or topic of an email, why do I need an AI to further summarize it - even IF it managed to be correct? Let the subject line do its' job!

    The rollback to classic was the best decision Yahoo has made in a long, long time. While the updated interface is more reminiscent of the Tumblr buyout.

    Thank you, Yahoo, for returning the former--and user-friendlier--version of Yahoo Mail to us. You had the format nailed already: There was never a need to change it!

  • Warren Stanley commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes - I agree, thank you. Now please just leave it alone... ?

  • Linda Wallace commented  ·   ·  Report

    Assuming I am the only one who can see my emails. I don't appreciate yahoo reading my email and putting it up in a box where anyone can see the information. !!!!

  • Jason Witmer commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have tried the new email out and it has sent very important emails into those "categories" . First off, why the different categories? why not keep it "read" and "not read" and let me assign them my self. I HATE the new yahoo setups.

  • Chris Putt commented  ·   ·  Report

    Thank you SO much for putting the classic version back to what it was. It's so much easier to navigate.

  • Gary VanValkenburg commented  ·   ·  Report

    go back to original program. this new one doesnt work for me. dont get all messages and cant delrtr them properly

  • Dana Enyo commented  ·   ·  Report

    I was so relieved when I found the GO BACK TO CLASSIC MAIL (or whatever it said) in the SETTINGS of the new mail. Let's see, what didn't I like?
    --I lost the BOLDFACE of all unread messages (WAY easier to read than the way it is now).
    --New mail has the old mail with a gray background, making them also harder to read.
    --HATE the AI-generated summaries. I don't want AI deciding what's important, period. This has to be made OPTIONAL.
    --I use ARCHIVE a lot. That went from one click to two. Not a deal breaker, but why no options to SELECT what buttons show in that top bar?

    Horror! The new yahoo mail! Why do U force us to use such terrible thing when you see that everybody likes and wants THE BASIC VERSION OF EMAILBOX??? this new one is terrible and inefficient,I'll stop using yahoo if you force us into using this useless new one. UNLOCK SWITCHING BACK TO BASIC ONE,LET US CHOOSE TO USE WHAT WE LIKE MOST!!!!!

  • Jim J commented  ·   ·  Report

    I really will stop using Yahoo overall soon if Yahoo refuses to let us choose
