    This new email has me (and many others) looking for other email providers. Is that what you really want?
    I cannot change font, color, size, and cannot paste pictures from other emails. I cannot delete previous emailers' information (which leaves them open to a lot of email they do not want).
    I was always telling people to "please delete my information before forwarding" ... well now they can't, nor can I.
    CHANGE IT BACK OR LOSE A LOT OF PEOPLE USING YAHOO MAIL!

    It is not possible anymore to format text. Is this a bad joke? I want at least bold, italic, change font size, bullet points & numbered lists etc.

    Where is the abilities to bold or underline in messages? LOVED classic email; bring it back!!

    The LETTERING for EMAILS are all broken up! Therefore you cannot read the EMAIL. You have to click on the space to get the EMAIL readable. Really disgusting! Surely you can do better than this. Maybe we need to go to MSN.

    The less bold **** and flashy text that's in your face, the easier it is to focus on the content of the email, who it's from, what it's about. let us add that option if we want to. This is why the classic email format is easier on the eyes-especially for someone who never has "eye reading" complaints.

    I would like to change my fonts and also add happy and sad faces

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    The fonts are so small in reading the mail in inbox, I can hardly read. Need larger font, also so small very blurry.

  • Dietmar commented  ·   ·  Report

    bring back the old Arial - non Serif - and it will be readable again

    new yahoo mail does not refresh itself so you have no idea someone sent you a message unless you refresh the page. The old one always refreshed itself automatically when a new message arrived so you knew you had a message.

    Why doesn't Basic allow me to put a link in an email I am composing -- or use bold/italics?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Adding to the list of things I posted earlier that don't work or don't exist anymore

    Can't paste an image in the body of the email
    My signature is plain text now - it used to be on colors and bold fonts, etc. I cannot eve see a way to edit it at all.
    I don't see a way to change or bold, etc. the font in compose an email
    No emoticons, etc. iwhen composing email

    and the list goes on.

    Can't see how to make print in different colours or embolden or change size of font

  • Jodie-ann Mills commented  ·   ·  Report

    Also, please put back the "unread" tab/button. It assist in locating emails that are unread.

  • Jodie-ann Mills commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am unable to view the toolbar where I can bold, style or change the font

  • Abhijeet Kumar World commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you don't want to listen to the users at least make sure that the new version has same features like editing the text by highlighting the text, making it bold, typing in different color, making the text bold etc.

    This new version is unacceptable but since you have the control and have become adamant that you want to force this version on the users, please add same features. Change the type font, make it big or small. It's hard to tell everything. Basically add all the features to this new version which the earlier basic Classic mail had. Thanks

  • Diana Scott commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please include features of previous version of Basic - including bold face, italics, color highlighting, variable font size, and quick "save" feature (to "save" after 3 "stay on page" clicks, and return to "draft" after search for information to complete message!

    And just putting it in Bold does not fix the problem. It is still hard to read. And, NO, setting the browsers screen magnification higher does NOT, repeat NOT, solve the problem. That just pushes stuff off the screen.
    Am using FF in Windows
