How can we improve New Yahoo Mail Basic?

← New Mail Basic

bring back classic mail

Please change back to the classic Yahoo Mail! There are certain features that I can't do on the current version that I could do in the old classic mail version, such as dragging an email to a folder. How am I now able to do that?! I am frequently dragging things to folders, and it is imperative that I have this feature re-instated.

    Go back to what it was. I used it for 25 years it was all right now you have made it unacceptable. It is like driving on the other side of the road or learning to speak a foreign language. I want to switch over to other mail options though it is going to be long and painful journey.

    This is nonsense, we cannot use yahoo in the future. We have been here for over 15 years, we always used scrolling for hundreds of emails, we cannot use page up or down for that. Pease return to the previous phase. We also don't want to use the big line spacing colourful design with big dots on the left, so thats not an option.
    Please do not leave the old users alone with the new design which is a backstep in usefulness. Thanks

    Old version was user friendly. Bring it back. Dont waste people time by doing multiple tasks, Action etc.,

    Simple tasks of search, folder management has become tedious and taking much time which is not user friendly.

    You have made Yahoo Basic Mail so user unfriendly. Please revert!!!

  • kelly Farmer commented  ·   ·  Report

    unable to close my folders. now everything is open and make the page REALLY LONG AND UNABLE TO FIND WHAT I NEED QUICKLY!!!!!

    PUT IT ALL BACK. WHOMEVER DESIGNED THIS NEW VERSION WAS NOT GOOD AT THEIR JOB AND HAS MADE THIS EMAIL SOFTWARE VERY DIFFICULT TO USE.

  • kelly Farmer commented  ·   ·  Report

    put it all back!!!! put back the ability to shift+click to select mutliple emails for deletion. put back the ability to see more than 25 messages at a time. My folder take up more room than the number of message, which BTW, makes it difficult to drop a message into the folder (a feature you have touted as a fantastically new)! put back the ability to mark an email as read just by clicking the little blue dot to the left of the message header instead of having to take additional steps to mark it and then select Mark as Unread from a dropdown menu. THIS NEW VERSION IS THE WORST!!! PUT IT ALL BACK!!!

    I want you to click this screenshot here....: https://prnt.sc/WT6xQcWaw93b

    Do you see how this is setup? THAT IS HOW THE EMAIL INTERFACE SHOULD BE LOOKING LIKE FOR EVERYONE! WE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT, EVERYTHING WAS WHERE IT NEEDED TO BE AND ITS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR YEARS!!!! Why did you randomly decide to change my layout to the point where now I have to see THIS garbage (shown below)

    Basic Version: https://prnt.sc/9bRi9EYfqVlB
    Standard Version: https://prnt.sc/dQJzB93-2Wa1

    NEITHER OF THESE DISPLAYS LOOK OR FEEL RIGHT. WE HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO JUMP BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN ACCOUNTS WITH EASE DUETO THIS RANDOM *** CHANGE

    PLEASE...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IF THIS REACHES YOUR DESK RETURN THE YAHOO EMAIL TO THE OLD INTERFACE!!!!!

    It is impossible to get the text size to scale correctly now that you've changed it around AGAIN without asking or allowing a way to PUT IT BACK. It's either way too big or unreadably tiny. Your stupid ideas are damaging my eyes. AND there's no way to set non-gay colors.

  • Karen A Taggart commented  ·   ·  Report

    I can no longer preview and attachment before I send my email. When I click on it to preview it downloads it. So now I have to go to my download folder and open it to preview it. Then after I review it, I have to delete the stuff in my download folder. More steps to get done what used to happen right in my email before I send it. How much time to you think we have to click on 6 different things instead of 1 for each thing that we do. Why are you making this so much harder!!!!! Whose bright idea was it to make everything more work???? AI??? It sucks. All we want is our old email back. Don't fix what isn't broken!

  • M S commented  ·   ·  Report

    STOP CHANGING THE LAYOUT. Now all the colors are screwed up and gay and there's no way to change it. AGAIN. Leaving us with NO WAY TO CHANGE IT BACK. I have had it with you morons. This mail SUCKS because you won't LEAVE IT ALONE.

    You made searching emails WORSE! the old look of basic version better than the new look , there is no option to return back to old look of basic version !!

  • Christine Levine commented  ·   ·  Report

    BRING BACK THE CLASSIC FORMAT or at least offer it as an alternative.

  • Christine Levine commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have had my account for 25+ years and HATE bot the new format and the basic format. I NEED THE CLASSIC FORMAT BACK NOW!!!!!!

  • Nancy Costantini commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is not better. Are you trying to force us to go to the "standard" email by making this so lame? As bad as this is, it's not as bad as your new "standard" format.

  • MICHAEL RAY WHITE commented  ·   ·  Report

    n the old version of Yahoo email, there was button or link you could click to view all photos in your emails. I don't see that option now so it makes it more difficult to find photos in your email without going message to message. Yahoo should put it back. Yea, I'd probably to willing to pay a subscription for that option.

  • Lawrence Cwiok commented  ·   ·  Report

    Give us a permanent option to go back to the classic version.

  • Gary commented  ·   ·  Report

    The changes made are terrible. Revert back the way it was. If something is not broken... don't fix it. I can't even find the news feeds now. This new format just might make me change to a different email service. Whoever made this change must have been mad at upper management or maybe they had a bad hangover from drinking on the job while doing this. Seems like the only people that like it are the ones that got paid to make the changes.
