    Agree! Yahoo should let us go back to the old format easily. The "basic" and "new" versions are both worthless now.

  • Rebecca Meyer commented  ·   ·  Report

    I was out of town for one night and came home to find the new format unusable. Switched to Basic Mail and found that to be even worse. How is that even possible?? The most important aspect for me is losing dark mode. I cannot use a bright white screen. That in itself is forcing me to switch. No direct method to provide feedback. (I highly doubt anyone at Yahoo is looking at this forum.) AND SO MUCH EXTRA CLICKING. I have been using Yahoo Mail for over 20 years. For an extended period of time I stopped using it. Looks like I'll have to switch everything back over to Outlook. These changes are just nonsensical.

    Basic Mail is broken, can't see more than 25 emails anymore in the inbox. It needs to be fixed. The phrase "less is more" applies to Yahoo Email. I don't need more flashy things, keep it simple

  • Lee Johnson commented  ·   ·  Report

    2000% agreed. I want my classic yahoo mail back. I've been using it for 25+ years.

  • Tina Kriebel commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's harder to sort emails. Takes extra clicks each time. I don't like that you are only showing me some emails. It keeps going back to the first screen and I can't manage my email inbox any more. Its awful.

    Actually a 4 year old could probably do a BETTER job. Go back to what WE want.

  • Doug Bloomberg commented  ·   ·  Report

    Change in this case is not appreciated. Roll back the old yahoo. I have paid for my yahoo. I feel ripped off. The new kids in the back room need to look at what the customers want. Not what they feel is Kool Stuff..
    Yall tried a change back a few years, you listened then and reversed the change. Please listen now.

    Go back to the old format this new one sucks ******* donkey **** what were you ******* thinking. Fire everyone involved and shove a cucumber up their ***.

    new mail is hard to use and very annoying , don't even have option to click next email. send me back to inbox every time I delete email I read ,instead of showing next email

  • Libby K commented  ·   ·  Report

    This new mail is sterile and inefficient. It's harder to navigate, harder to find emails. And while you're at it, please give me back my avatar from the early 2000s. I miss things having color and a bit of fun. I've never had another email. But this change is making me explore the options.

  • Philip Snyder commented  ·   ·  Report

    The screen is blinding, and the other options are unusable. Driven by the idea that you must always change to improve. Must be AI thinking. This is good, I will improve by moving to a different email provider. Idiots.

    1. Why is there no dark mode in basic email?
    2. Why when I search in basic email it no longer tells me what folder the email is in?
    3. Why do only 25 emails show at a time? They no longer load when I scroll down.
    4. The new layout for the standard version is absolutely horrible. Why would you change something that didn't need to be changed?? And I'm clearly not the only one who hates it based on the other feedback I see.
    5. Please go back to how it was before. I cannot use this email the way it currently is. I've been with yahoo for decades. This current version is an absolute No Way for me. I'll have to look for other options if it stays this way.

    The new pagination in Inbox is horrible. I can only see a handful of unready messages without moving between pages. It also makes it impossible to multiselect more than a handful of emails for further action, e.g. deleting.

  • Ken Hamilton commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yahoo broke this again. You can no longer move to next message after delete, despite settings.

  • Tony Beltran commented  ·   ·  Report

    - You cant' drag and drop an email to a folder on the side bar. You have to make a bunch of keystrokes to do what was simple.

    PUT IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Tony Beltran commented  ·   ·  Report

    You know what sucks, you guys make all these changes, everyone complains, you don't listen, you make us deal with your stupid ideas that don't work and you'll 'update' the next time and won't make any changes we want.

    Make the tweaks about what the people want and give us a system we will like and want to use.

    PUT IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Bring back to previous version, this one is awful. At least give the option of wanting the new version instead of forcing it. I cannot even find simple features anymore. I hate that I didn't have a choice in this

  • Gyongyi N commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is terrible, every moment is ten click instead of old versions' one-click-method. New mail compose, mail move to another folder, ther=se are only two reason, why you must give back the old version. It seems, not only I hate it. You fired the old IT people, and hired moron white trumpers? I have to vomit on you. GIVE BACK THE OLD VERSION!!!!!
