    This version is absolutely horrible. You have to do more steps just to get it to filter "unread" only messages. I have to go to the drop down menu, click unread and then click another button for it to go. Who ever design this is trash and needs to be fired. Yahoo I cannot believe you thought this version would be better. It looks like you made it through Wix.

    Having no "back" button anymore when you are reading an email...why? Having to go to a dropdown menu to be able to move or do anything is cumbersome and unnecessary. The old basic version was so much more user friendly.

    Suddenly my mailbox changed. When I went back to "Basic", there are some differences from the original situation. Particularly the blue button where I can quickly click to mark an email as read or unread without having to open the message. Please, restore this function.

    BRING BACK CLASSIC MAIL!!!

    This "new" system sucks. I have to hunt around to find things. I emailed myself twice and none of the hyperlinks in my signature are highlighted. So no one just can't click on the link to take you directly to the site. Also, there's no way of highlighting a link I want to send. And that's just few things I'm not happy with.

    BRING BACK CLASSIC MAIL!!!

    Improve by going back where it was. Terrible idea to change something that works. Why can I not change font sizes or font colors? Who's fu**ing idea was it anyhow? Fire those people!

    Its super annoying when my email just changes and i have to figure out how to get it back to the original. This is YAHOO not GMAIL, leave my **** folders alone!!!!!!!

  • Tony Beltran commented  ·   ·  Report

    - Another 'UPDATE' ***** up. You can't see the whole email you are working on. It cuts off and you have to scroll within the scroll to see the lower part of the email.

    You guy SUCK!! And should be fired!

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

    this should have been an option not forced on me. I dont like the new version and I can not switch back and forth to my other email accounts like before.

  • Rance Walleston commented  ·   ·  Report

    You forced a change to my yahoo mail including changing the theme and colors. I did not ask you to do that. Now I can't go back to the way it was. Are you trying to make me use a different email????

  • David Devries commented  ·   ·  Report

    This old version is not the classic version I use. Please put it back. Make the headings and options like they were. This new version SUCKS!!!!! I am in the process of transitioning off of Yahoo because you keep forcing this "new" version on me, changing my page without my permission. PUT IT BACK!!!!!!

    Are you trying to drive us off of yahoo?

    Here are some features that have gotten worse, go back to the old system!

    This system, limits your ability to scroll down through emails, now you have to move pages too cumbersome with only 25 emails per page then the page goes blank. You can no longer drag an email to file in your folders again a pain and time consuming efforts.

    Your drafts are no longer automatically saved, spent a while writing an email and needed to look up an old email to make sure I was correct in my assumption wording and lost the *#^% email, frustrating because in the past when you opened another section of yahoo mail it would always save the draft.

    What is the purpose of adding an identity circle with the senders tag, does that guarantee the email is safe and really from that source, no information provided so why is that necessary?

    Each action is slow to take place. I used to be able to hit delete on my keyboard to remove an email, now I have to use your delete button and wait to make sure it actually is deleted, too much wasted time.

    Overall, your updates are putting you further and further behind on ease of use and at some point we will have to move a new system that can provide ease of use.

    SERIOUSLY! This new look is awful, and I've never seriously considered using Google Mail UNTIL you started messing with how my inbox looks. It's disruptive, and if I'm not able to change it back, I will literally switch to Google Mail within the next month.

  • Laurie Christison commented  ·   ·  Report

    How can you improve it?? PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS!!! there was nothing wrong with it but EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THIS NEW BASIC!!
    When I delete an email the next one does not open, it takes me back to list of emails. This is so annoying!
    You only have 25 emails listed on main page, I want them all to be able to scroll through.
    It took me hours to find the "Settings" link in Mail Basic, why?? When I googled for help it kept saying to find the gear wheel on the right corner, THERE IS NONE!!
    STOP CHANGING SOMETHING THAT AINT BROKE!!! I HATE THIS!!

  • Michael James Trifillis commented  ·   ·  Report

    you not only managed to make this worse again, but edited the classic version to be a bastardized, half-breed, version of itself. it doesn't go to the next message after deleting the current message. Finding settings is intentionally hidden from view. Maybe stop trying to update what people like to something hip and cool for whatever acne ridden coder you hired and focus on the people NOT complaining about how it worked and functioned just fine before you "improved" it. Whats wrong with you tech people always feeling the need to tweak or update something? Ever heard of the phrase "IF IT'S NOT BROKE, DON'T FIX IT"? Your "news" division sucks enough, dont spread your disease into the functionality of email.

    Return to previous format. You have made the new one unbearable, overly complicated, and worthless..

  • Gyongyi N commented  ·   ·  Report

    Give back the old version, because it is TERRIBLE!!!!

  • Gyongyi N commented  ·   ·  Report

    If I want to move an email to a folder, then I must scroll down... and 55 steps, instead of the old version one-step-method. SHAME ON YOU!!!
    GIVE BACK THE OLD VERSION!!!!!!

  • Paul and Brenda P commented  ·   ·  Report

    What happened to Yahoo mail.. I don't like how you changed it.. Please put it back the way it was.. Plus, dont limit the number of emails per page.
