How can we improve New Yahoo Mail Basic?

← New Mail Basic

You made searching emails WORSE! and it was already sketchy. You can't search on a keyword in the email.

Put BACK searching for a keyword in the email. It sucked but it sometimes worked at least. Now it's gone completely.

    This is beyond annoying. It's bad enough that Yahoo launched a *new and improved* version of its email before it was actually ready for prime time (like a button to make a giant view that can't be reversed, ever?), but you had to go and ruin the Classic version, too? Ditto to every single thing that people are complaining about.

  • Bill Eastland commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, now it is very cumbersome and time consuming to move emails to my user created folders. Do you just want millions of us to stop using yahoo. We have plenty of options. Yahoo has gone stupid!!!!

  • Gordon McCaw commented  ·   ·  Report

    The others have beaten me to it, most all the problems I've been having with your "improved" email have been addressed by others.
    I used to get very little spam, I mean like days on end with none, now it's a minimum of four or five/day...

    HATE IT. Trying to move emails to folders, the column is so skinny I can't tell if I am getting things in the the right folder. It changed right when I am so busy. I hate it. I pay for this get me back.......

    In the new ugly useless UI,

    Click 3 dots on the lower left --> Settings
    Find the "Switch to basic Mail" on the lower left menu

    This will bring you back to a crippled version of Basic Mail.

    Then while in Basic mode you can temporarily go back to the OLD Standard view.

    "activate" by using this link https://mail.yahoo.com/d/settings/0 while in Basic mode.
    Then click "Back to inbox" on the top left.

    This should bring you back to the OLD Standard UI.

    If you close or refresh the page though, it will revert back to Basic and you will need to "trigger" it again by using the link. I bookmarked the link so I can just click on it every time I need to reactivate it.

    This is the WORST update!! Yahoo took 20 steps back in the concept of email. WHY can't we even do the most basic of things like search for a specific email by name -
    CHANGE IT BACK!!!!!

  • Marie Kimbrough commented  ·   ·  Report

    Sadly, I must agree with most comments. I cannot stand Yahoo now. Thinking of changing to another email. Cannot delete multiple emails at one time, too bright, search not easy. Just change it back.

  • Sandi Stricklin commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is the worst product change I've ever seen. NOTHING about this is an improvement and I have to go back and forth between Basic and Standard because NEITHER works the way the old program worked. With all the public backlash isn't it time to reevaluate this change and revert back to what we ALL want?? Your Product Manager should be fired.

    The new version SUCKS. When I returned back to the older version, it missed the Starred button. And the Delete and Spam Buttons are too close to each other for anyone to make a mistake. With 32 comments going against the new version, I hope our feedback will bring back the older version SOOOOOOOONNNNNNNN. Our lives feel miserable.

  • John Urbanski commented  ·   ·  Report

    This new email sucks. I can't scroll down to view more emails. I have to click on the next page. When I read an email and click on the inbox, it takes me back to page one. This is terrible. Every time I switch accounts, I have to sign in. I did not have to do that before. Why try to fix something that is not broken?

  • John Byrd commented  ·   ·  Report

    I CANT STAND IT!!!!! CHANGE IT BACK PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    WTF Yahoo. Don't you have anything better to do than make our lives worse. Please listen to us or stop asking for feedback. Please go back to the way it was. This new platform is TERRIBLE! Don't you have any quality control over the idiot who thought this was a good idea?

  • Aviator commented  ·   ·  Report

    The new Yahoo Mail GUI is a major setback for the company. Not only is the Search function inoperative, but so are many other functions. All Yahoo had to do is retain the old email structure, add more settings configurations, and add border radiuses and paddings to its basic elements. Get it done, Yahoo. You're losing customers as a write this comment. Best wishes!

    Gmail here I come. I stuck with yahoo mail for decades and have been made fun of at times but I used to defend it because it was a basic email service that was simply laid out and worked. NOT anymore. I find myself wasting time over and over fighting the new layout.

  • Craig James Bigelbach commented  ·   ·  Report

    Oh they screwed up so much more than that. I am absolutely giving it 1 week before I create a new email elsewhere.
