  4. CALENDAR

    I don't like this new calendar layout. Only showing 2 or 3 events per day is a problem. I have to click every day to find the events in a type. Plus the Type logo requires an extra click. I need it to show me a week or a month at first glance, like the previous edition. Now I have to open each day to recap.

  6. Bring back the old yahoo!

    Can you please PLEASE bring back the previous version of yahoo mail. This new email is so frustrating. When I try to sort emails for mass delete I am having to check each individual email. I can only see a limited number of emails and I am so concerned that I am missing important information. PLEASE bring back the older version of yahoo mail even if it's only to my account (gci73) :-)) THANK YOU!

  8. Stop interrupting me with the "turn on notifications for news..." popup

    It is frustrating if I am checking things or doing something and the popup keeps happening. I will catch up on news in the course of the day. Thanks though...I really do find it to be annoying.

  11. Fix email sync to outlook

    You really should have a way for the email to sync with outlook. I’m unable to generate an app password. Tech said it’s not available with the current version. This may leave me with no option but going with a different provider.

  13. Respect our MFA choice!

    I have MFA disabled for my account. Yet EVERY single time I login, you make me go through the rigmarole of sending a verification code to my non-Yahoo e-mail account, that I then have to login to, retrieve your stupid code, to complete my login. I'm sick and tired of it. Please respect my choice not to use MFA! MFA is for stupid people who don't use decent passwords.

    And then you have the gall to ask me if I want to sign-in without a password? Again, every single time!

  14. Go back to old Yahoo mail

    This Yahoo email change to caused too many issues. We as a company have lost almost 1 year of very valuable emails which include job plans for contractors we service as well as many emails from them concerning updates or changes to those plans. You cannot seach multiple months with having to click from page to page. There should be some settings to allow for changes to keep things the way they were. I have tried calling for assistance is trying to retrieve the thousands of emails lost and held for over 20 minutes and then was just cutoff from…

  15. You can make it better by going back to the original email format with all its options.

    Your new version of Yahoo Mail is really terrible. I have been with Yahoo for over 20 years and it has never been this bad. When you have a good thing, you always seem to ruin it by thinking it's better.

  18. Übersicht leidet

    Es ist fast unmöglich, die Speicherplatzbelegung in Yahoo mail zu finden. Nachdem Sie den Speicherplatz so deutlich gesenkt haben, ist das eine sehr lästige Erfahrung.

  19. Make permanent deletes easier

    I have a lot of mail. If I want to delete an emial permanently, I need to Delete, and then painstakingly find it in Deletes, and then Delete it again. Search didn't seem to work in Trash folder. It takes forever.
