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.

    With this new version I have to click and scroll way too much. Moving emails to a different location takes longer too. This version is nothing but a waste of time.

  • Jonathan Sacks commented  ·   ·  Report

    The worst update ever - you guys made Yahoo Mail almost unusable, both the new one and the old one.
    For Basic you need to (1) allow delete button to delete, (2) automatically move to next message after deleting one, (3) allow up and down arrows on keyboard to switch messages, and (4) have a message preview below, so I can see my folders, my inbox, and one message, all at the same time.
    For the New advanced / regular Mail, you MUST remove that stupid box on the right side with contacts etc - it takes up half the screen. There is no room to actually read the emails. RIDICULOU.

    Give us BACK the Old easy to use features we had or I will leave and many others will also. You say we can go back to Basic but you have reduced the Features like Rich Text - I can't do what I need to do withouth Rich Text and you are doing this on purpose to force people to go with the New **** AI formating AI summaries are INSANELY STUPID and demeaning and INACCURATE

    Please give users the option to switch back to classic email. Also, I no longer can send a group email. Are you purposely trying to sabotage your email service or forcing everyone to the paid portion? Hmmm.

  • Deborah DeFazio commented  ·   ·  Report

    I totally agree! Give us the option to go to the previous version of basic mail...the new one is jusdt TERRIBLE! And the added spam I'm receiving is ridiculous!!!

  • Doug Villaire commented  ·   ·  Report

    I used to be able to scroll through all of my emails on a single page. Your change is making me select the next page. This is horrible.

    Go back to Yahoo Classic Email it was a feature rich environment which permitted customization of text style, searching for emails and more. It worked fine, even with slower internet connections. Why mess with something that works well and is effective. I'm now using my Gmail Account more than ever

    The new version makes everything harder! Increased line spacing for the inbox and other mail folders means fewer letters displayed on each screen, requiring more scrolling. Then, instead of smooth "boundary-less" scrolling, there are now pages that have to be manually advanced every couple dozen entries. When searching for a term or name in a mailbox, the "Back" button is gone. The "Delete"/"Spam" area at the top scrolls out of view when accessing the last 3 or 4 entries of the email list.

    Every time yahoo screws with the simple and best, classic email you ruin it!!

  • john hoff commented  ·   ·  Report

    I can't change size of type as I used to be able to do.

    The new version is terrible..

  • Cynthia T Zealy commented  ·   ·  Report

    You blocked Basic that I have been using for years. Replaced it with a horrible system - functions too difficult, very unappealing look. Now I will need to forward ALL my SAVED emails to a non-Yahoo email account as I will no longer use this new replacement to a really great email system. My TECH personal laughed at me for using YAHOO as they use GMAIL. I really liked the Basic I had before and would even pay for its return.

  • HRBW Support commented  ·   ·  Report

    "Basic Email" allows me to see the menu and folder items on the left instead of having to dig thru menus which is a waste of time. For those who want to, go to settings (after digging thru menu on the left) and switch to "Basic Email."
    New format also puts a bunch of clutter on the line item of the email where you can click on just about anything except opening the message, which sometimes, believe it or not, we actually want to read.
    The new format just makes things more difficult. If you need someone to make it better then hire me, because whoever you have isn't working.

    It needs to be changed back ASAP. It's horrible and takes forever to delete more than one email. I would give it -200 starts if I could.

  • Dean Cooper commented  ·   ·  Report

    Go back to the old email. The new version has less capabilities. HORRIBLE. You can't drag messages to folders, you can't scroll through folders without the whole page moving, now moving messages to folders is clunky at best. You did yourself no favors going to this version.

  • c hup commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why did you change yahoo mail for the absolute worse?

    Nothing works smoothly anymore.

    Why can't I drag and drop files into folders? Why isn't the delete button always at the top of the screen anymore which makes me scroll back up to the top to delete multiple messages?

    Why did you take away the ability to move folders into other folders? That is, I can no long create subfolders under a top folder?

    Why are the number of messages limited on a page? Why do I have to go to page 2, 3 ...etc to get to messages in a large folder?

    Also, why when I am on any page from 2 on and I delete a message, does it throw me back to page 1 and then make me go back to page 2, etc.

    BRING BACK THE OLD YAHOO MAIL PLEASE!!!

  • Zack Hessel commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please go back a few versions of Yahoo Email. I don't like the changes you have made. It's OK to leave something alone and not change it

  • valerie mesich commented  ·   ·  Report

    WHERE IS THE ICONS TO CHANGE FONT SIZE / BOLD / COLOR ETC. CANNOT FIND IT ANYWHERE !!!! I'M MOST LIKELY GOING TO SWITCH EMAIL SERVER.

  • anthony sandomierski commented  ·   ·  Report

    Change it back or I won't use yahoo again and anyone I do business with if they have Yahoo account I will make them use another email platform I also lost data and major functionality

  • Denise Spielman commented  ·   ·  Report

    It still sucks put it back the way it was. Just because your project manager gets bored it's no reason to disappoint the rest of us.
