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.

    Wondering who decided the formatting tool (bold, underline, highlight, type color, font size and style, etc.) was superfluous to a communication app? I can change the font style and size in the New Mail settings, but the changes don't carry over when I switch back to Basic Mail. I'm left with a straight email message, in small type, with no options for numbering a list, bullet points, bolding a heading etc. Generally, I don't use gifs and emojis, but they are a nice touch at special times and offer warmth and personality to a message. This is so much more than just a transfer of information! Would like to see it brought back or at least tell us where/how we may find it.

    I liked it when the old Yahoo broke down the list of messages by: Today, Yesterday, Monday, Tuesday etc. I HATE this new version you created

    Put it back to the other version, this one is a mess and has made it harder to do anything.

    If a person wants this new version, make so they and only they have to deal with it.

    Put it back to the old version. This new one is awful. If I wanted Gmail I would use that. Stop trying to copy their awful programming.

    How about keeping what works? Why do you Gen Z techies who live your life with a phone stuck up your butt need to change things for the worse? The new Yahoo Mail sucks and I will consider switching to someone else.

    selection and typing take too long to show up; switching back and forth from accounts takes forever, new tabs open, this new version is terrible. there was literally NOTHING wrong with the old one - it worked, everything did what it should do, i had zero problems with it. the new version is making my day near impossible to deal with. even your home page is slow, does not recognize the mouse to click open a link, and if you hit the arrow on the news headlines, its anyones guess as to when its actually going to move and whether or not it will move to the correct slide rather than skipping one, two, or three of them!

    I hate your new email. I detest the AI intrusion in Standard Mail. But when I change to Basic, I don't have the option to switch between my two Yahoo email accounts. Can you fix this?? It was soooo easy before you messed with the email.

    This email is the most horrible yet. If you consider this an improvement, please change it back because I hate it. I liked my email being separated by days and date. The font is not what I like and it's too small. I haven't found how to change it yet. The whole thing in general is TERRIBLE!!

    I tried to go back to "classic", it sort of looks the same, but they added the INSANE "next" button at top right, where you cant just scroll down through emails, you have to click NEXT for each page. RIDICULOUS Do you know how to get rid of the NEXT button?

    You took away features like inserted images or text formatting from the "older looking version" or the "basic version" when your new version is Why if I'm PAYING FOR IT?!?!?! Why do you make my life MORE DIFFICULT with your nonsensical changes?! Why do you make your customer's like MORE DIFFICULT?

    Bring back the old color scheme options. The only color option exists when you switch to Standard, and even then it is only between dark or light mode. In the older basic version, my scheme was a very visually pleasing dark purple, black and some blue. Now the basic is all blindingly white and ugly. The new standard options are even worse, there is no personality in them. Bring back the older options!

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put Yahoo mail back to its original format, where I can drag and drop emails to saved folders, have 200 emails on one page so I don't have to click to the next page to see yesterday's emails, very inefficient!!
