    Exactly 1000% agree ... the NEW ONE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    You (Yahoo) even managed to DESTROY the "Basic email" ... modifying it as if we are sheep that will go along with your fascist treachery.
    BRING BACK WHAT IT WAS BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    STOP CHANGING SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Why would you change a platform that worked perfectly. How you can tell your users that switching back and forth will really bring them back to the original platform...you changed both and they are both horrible...this is ridiculous. Each option is 1000% horrible! It's like going back to dial up AOL for goodness sakes. What took one step before now takes 3. I know user-friendly isn't a common term, but this update is NOT user-friendly, and I can adjust to just about any platform and learn any software quickly. This just SUCKS. Thanks for the reunion with the 80's... now that you have that out of your system put things back the way they were and try again because this is not working! Your users should be able to efficiently and effectively use their email.

    This pretty much sums it up as nicely as one could!

    The new version is horrible with horrid UI. The basic version is not what I had last night. Too bright, the UI is pointless, and there's no way to change the color themes or even put it in dark mode. I may just cancel my account and go back to hotmail or something.

    Please return the functionality that has been removed with the last (2/17/25) update.

    Please,, its not an idea,, its a fact,, the new yahoo classic is a disaster in biblical proportions,,, How much money did your software engineers get paid to take a perfect email program and change it into a nightmare of extra clicks and steps and remove half the features from it,,, What you are attempting to do is to force everyone to move to your "standard" email which looks even worse,,, Its a joke,, stop asking for "ideas',, just restore the old classic. With a few nuggets of intelligence you can understand that if anyone needs tutorials as to where to find what you already have a colossal failure on your hands. And stop trying to mimic Google,, if we wanted google, we would use their email format , which is terrible as well.

    make it easy to change font, do bold or italics....Be able to use key shortcuts..so much as been eliminated!!!

    As much as I hate to change e-mails, I'm seriously thinking the hassle would be worth it to go to g-mail.!!!!!!!

    Everything is bad, slow, unlogical, unfriendly... bugs with ridiculous multiple authentications...
    I tried to find a single good change, but failed.

    So, everybody is guinea pigs for you guys.
    This does not qualify as dev version, let alone test, but you champions made it public prod.
    Huge embarrassment.

    how may times do we have to tell you?

  • S R commented  ·   ·  Report

    Leave things alone unless people ask specifically for a change or update. At the very least give US the option to update or not, instead of of stuffing it down our throats.

    Back to old view, please. Your new one is not created for easy use, give me back my old version.

  • Travis Lawrence commented  ·   ·  Report

    This version sucks. No search, you have to click several times for any options to work. Put it back.

  • Bob and Tina commented  ·   ·  Report

    Dropping Yahoo. This is horrible. Everything. Text, format, apply this & that. Why??

  • Cody Hopson commented  ·   ·  Report
