  2. Thank you for letting us go back to classic view but it no longer has options such as advanced search or the ability to customize or add row

    Thank you for letting us go back to classic view but it no longer has options such as advanced search or the ability to customize or add rows per page .. I know the yahoo objective is to get everyone to move to a paid version but I have has this account for 20 years or more .. I will be prepared to move if necessary but please let us know what you intend to do .. transparency is the best policy , instead of just dropping surprise bombs

  10. Where is the back button?

    I don't like now having to go to the upper left toolbar back button to go back to my inbox. I like having the nearby back button for faster work.

  11. Removed ability to easy mark as read as well as back arrow once in message

    For gods sake just return it as it was and stop trying to change things. I'd be gone to another format if I didnt have 20 years in on this address.

  12. how about get rid of it entirely? I didn't ask to be switched to this new dogshit layout.

    I can't even select emails of a specific type anymore (unread/starred/read) and bring back endless scrolling. Better yet, go back to the old layout and stop trying to be a dollar general version of gmail!!
