  2. DENUNCIA

    Estimados:

    A quien corresponde: es mi deseo hacer una denuncia acerca de una actividad irregular, de la que tengo indicios de que es de ustedes.

    Desde hace ya bastante tiempo recibo en mi CELULAR una notificación de, supuestamente ustedes, y que en reiteradas e insoportables insistencias dicen:
    "Se necesitan las credenciales. Ingresa las credenciales para... (mi dirección de correo electrónico de Yahoo").

    Me llega como notificación a mi gmail. Al abrir mi correo de gmail NO hay ningún correo de esas características en mi buzón de entradas.

    Al querer acceder desde la notificación de la que me refiero, me linkea…

  3. Star colors, number and arrows to move down from one message to the next as apposed to going back to inbox after each message is read.

    Dear To Whom It May Concern,

    1) Perhaps different color of stars (Red, Blue, Green , Yellow, Black, Brown, etc) this to organize each message by priority-importance to the reader, also the use of numbering system (1,2,3, etc.) can do the same thing.
    2) After each message is read and designated by color of star or numbering system, the messages can be deleted WITHOUT the designated messages being deleted
    3) The arrows on the right side of the messages are MISSING so I can't go down to the next message W/O going to the inbox to click on the next…

  4. STOP MAKING CHANGES!!!

    Let's face it, the few changes I see you have made to my basic mail page merely require that I pull down more menus, click more buttons, and then make it more and more necessary for me to "upgrade" (read: 'spend money') to your "Super Special New Yahoo Mail (Which costs more). I assure you, I will NOT EVER upgrade to a version for which I must pay my hard-earned, fixed-income dollars! I have gratefully been using your basic mail for at least the past THIRTY YEARS, and have been extremely reluctant to change systems. But if you make it…

  8. Go back to basic calendar

    New calendar is very unappealing, no dark break lines between days of week, stark white with no color options,
    task colors for each calendar are too dark and task text too light to be seen clearly...
    Overall, the appearance is NOT an improvement.

  9. it reads one email then goes back to "all" email view

    How much more can you make this suck? Not only does it not let you see more than one page of new emails (not scrollable, nor can you move to a 2nd page) but whether you select the last shown or first shown, when you delete the email, instead of moving to the next newest email (ie how it used to work) it pops out of the email view to the incomplete list view. ******* lame. Fix this dumbasses

  10. Show all emails. ie stop making the basic version suckass to promote the new mail

    my email was fine until I had to log out. I then was given the option to have a neutered version of my email or the new email. The new email is annoying because of the "Primary function" and inability to differentiate unread emails from read emails in dark mode. I reverted back and when I have over 100 emails unread, there is ONE SINGLE PAGE OF EMAIL SHOWING WHERE YOU CANNOT SCROLL DOWN TO THE LAST 100th UNREAD EMAIL. ALSO you can't select dark mode. This is absolute ********. Fix this or I'm moving my account to Google.

  15. Not user-friendly

    It is frustrating. I cannot highlight, underline, or bold my sentences when composing an email. I cannot drag and drop my attachments. The current feature is time-consuming.

    Please, can I have the old features that I have been using for years? I have no complaints whatsoever.

  16. Put it back the way it was! AND let us copy things onto the body of the email again!

    You've made it totally cumbersome, not having all emails on "one page" instead of having to go to page 2?! Ridiculous! Also, who needs Notes and Contacts and Calendar on the same page. Twice the work!

    And worst of all? We can't copy photos, documents, etc. ON THE OUTGOING EMAIL????
    It's not sufficient in many cases to just have these things as Attachments! They are often seriatim with the content and context. REALLY BAD MOVE!

  18. Restore Fonts, colors, emojis and freeze pane for delete and send

    New Yahoo Mail's layout is visually difficult for me to follow, so I'm back to Old Yahoo Mail. However, The send-delete-spam headings at the top don't scroll along with the page. It would be so much easier to see what emails are being deleted if the delete button and emails were both showing. Maybe add a freeze pane option, like in Excel? Also, what happened to the font choices, font sizes, underlining, italics, and emoji options? I don't haven of this on my page. How about bring those backI'm beginning to think that maybe our relationship for so many years…

  19. You have altered what is visible in the settings menu

    For people that suffer from migraines, the settings menu was a godsend that allowed the opportunity to remain in dark mode as a white screen was too harsh a screen and can set off a migraine.
