How can we improve New Yahoo Mail Basic?

← New Mail Basic

Simplify moving an email to a different folder

I used to be able to just drag an email from my inbox to a different folder. It was simple. Now, it seems that I have 1) click the email, 2) click on Actions, 3) Click on the folder, 4) click apply. 4 clicks for every email I want to move - it's a pretty stupid method.

    I don't understand why you UN-streamlined this process?! I've used Yahoo mail since dial up was a thing - for all that is good and holy on the internet - Put. It. Back.

    I want the old version of classic yahoo returned, The changes that were made are not improvements or enhancements. It makes it more difficult to process, scroll, delete, and move emails to folders.

    Why did you ruin Yahoo mail?
    It was perfect, and you messed it up.
    Please change it back ASAP.
    This is all so stupid, how did you think this was an improvement?

    I should be able to drag an email to my folder now I can't do that. Why are y'all making things more complicated, it makes no sense.

    It's such a process now to just move an email to another folder, it was easier before you changed it. You really need to go back the way it was. Hate this, hate the screen and the miss my color themes. You should've left well enough alone...if it works, don't change it!

    What kind of bizarre misfire in someone's brain led to this? Seriously, someone had to make a conscious decision that having a simple task require 4 steps instead of just 1 step was desirable, and then they had to actually sit down and code the existing process, that worked fine, out of existence and replace it with garbage.

    I'm ok with adding new functionality, but why take away existing functionality that was working?

  • Sade Linn commented  ·   ·  Report

    I can't believe this process has actually gotten *worse*. In GMail, you click Move To and the cursor is AUTOMATICALLY ready for you to type 2 or 3 letters of the mailbox name. Yahoo never had it that much together, which was bad; but now? It's almost unusable. What, did you have Elon's teenage goon squad work on this? Back to the drawing board, stat. I've had this email account since the 90s, but recent changes (like the loss of the My Yahoo page) have me seriously considering whether it's worth keeping at this point.

    I would LOVE to be able to organize emails worthy of saving to their own folder........but I can't seem to create a new folder and can't move anything to existing folders? Way to ***** things up Yahoo!!

    It is ridiculous that it now takes FOUR steps to move an email to a folder. I want to simply click and DRAG my emails to a folder. Who would think this is an improvement? No sane person.
