How can we improve New Yahoo Mail Basic?

← New Mail Basic
'Having used Yahoo Mail for over 35 years I think that this change to Mail is a major step back.' has been merged into this idea

Having to click to advance pages of email is terrible. The new interface is not user friendly and has become more like ancient mail

Get rid of only 20 e-mails "per page" and have it scroll like it did before. Mail also nolonger auto-refreshes and i'm constantly refreshing the page manually to see new e-mails. Neither of these items are improvements - they make the yahoo mail experience worse.

    Well , there used to be a circle on the left side of an email that allowed me to pull up groups of emails from the sender. This allowed me to delete all of them at once. That option is no longer available, it's as if you all want emails to increase with no easy way to delete.

    Favor deixar a opção de escolha dos layouts para os cliente do yahoo.mail, em definitivo.
    Eu prefiro a versão antiga (mesmo a antiga, não está igual). Antes conseguia visualizar um arquivo anexado sem fazer o download, agora mesmo na antiga, não consigo visualizar mais sem baixá-lo.

    Favor deixar visualizar um arquivo, como pdf, por exemplo, como era antes.

    Grata.

    Not even the new mail view, but also the classical view was changed badly. It's almost unusable for example too less messages per page and there is no theme any longer. The view is horrible.
    Please return immediately to the real classical view!

    Auch die "Classic" Ansicht ist verdorben. Keine Themes. Zu wenig Messages pro Seite. Und noch viel mehr kaputt.
    Bitte Rückkehr zur klassischen Ansicht!!!
    Benutzbarkeit hat sich stark verschlechtert!

    let us change the color scheme - like in the old basic mail - it's like we're being punished for rejecting the new mess...

    The new version of email is horrible. No advanced notification, just boom, there it is. So much so I cancelled my YahooPlus subscription and am looking for an alternative email application.

    Many features are more difficult to use. For example moving a meassage to a folder takes multiple clicks instead of one. Drag and drop only works for top folders since folder list doesn't advance to see lower folders. Inbox and folders require clicking > or >> button to see beyone first screen.

    Generally, no improvements and more cumbersome user interface.

    You can improve your email by giving me back the standard email I've had for years. I did NOT ask you to change my email to this terrible basic version nor did I ask you to change me to a new email. I just want the standard email I have been using for years.

    Why have you changed my signature which I have used on this service for years??????????

    And now suddenly I cannot bold it or anything!!! You guys are truly horrible.

    Icons are distracting, please allow us to disable them, the condensed email format makes far more sense than the expanded spacing in New Mail. I find that email is no longer being "pushed" to me requiring that I manually request it to download new emails. I no longer see a way to forward email to friends & family. I see these issues as being an effort to force us to switch to the New Email. I prefer a simpler format with the Yahoo mail features. The old Yahoo Email worked just fine...they were easier to use. Over the years I have often seen updates that make little sense. Change for the sake of change is not the way to go.

    Hi Team,
    I wanted to share some honest feedback regarding the recent changes to the email layout.
    Please avoid making changes to core functionality without user testing. The new interface feels unintuitive and frustrating. For example, I’m unable to select an email, mark it as read, and have it actually reflect as read — something that used to work seamlessly.
    The previous layout supported simple, efficient actions. Now, basic tasks are unnecessarily complicated, and I’m struggling to understand the benefit of these changes.
    I’m genuinely disappointed. I hope you’ll consider reverting or improving the layout based on user experience and feedback.
    Thanks,
    Sumudu

    WTF is up with your mail page settings?!!!

    Selected messages from inbox now show as a narrow column with similar width blank space to the immediate left, between the message and the mail folder column!

    FIX YOUR ******* SOFTWARE AND WEBSITE!!!
