  2. Contacts

    Recent changes have made finding and editing contacts VERY difficult

    It also seems to be impossible to delete contacts meaning that people come up on my suggested lists that I haven't emailed for years.

    Recent changes that you have made has made using Yahoo mail harder. I am about to switch out to another user unless this improves

  5. Old Version

    I cannot deal with the new version email at all. My brain is going nuts & I'm stressed because I can't even look at my emails without my brain swirling. Way too busy with icons, dots, bold modern print. Why oh why would you even think this new version is better!

    Very sorry, but here at Yahoo and many apps/websites there will always be change. Especially with how our lives and technology evolves. Being honest with you, there will always be change at Yahoo. We know it's hard and challenging at first, but we hope you give all new updates a fair chance. Thanks!

  9. Themes

    I miss having the color choices that were in the last version. White is too bright and dark is just too dull.

    Hi Owen, yes we did have many themes before and unfortunately a majority of our users always kept the default theme. Therefore with low usage and high up keep, we decided not to support more themes and kept it simplified. Hope you can understand!

  10. Make it like the old one

    This new version is shite. I can't see what images are contained within a message before opening; and I can't make that image larger within the message (though I see you're claiming to fix that; perhaps get everything ready beforehand in future?)

    Please fix, as I'm prevented from going back (being asked to try the new version whilst withholding that there would be no return option is deceitful and unethical).

  11. NOT USER FRIENDLY

    There is not enough screen room availavle to read email. There is to much space above the reading area that is wasted. I only have 1.25 inches to read email and to navigate email. This version of email is not user friendly. Please! Fix this or change my email to the older version and make the 'Go Back Button' available. Thanks!

  13. Change back to my original color, Need cc and bcc returned

    I want my old email back!!! I don't like the black and white color--I had blue background before. I want only ONE choice for email selection. I don't want Primary, Social or Newsletter and I will decide want I want to read first. I want to be able to sort my emails BY NEW EMAILS OR SENDER EMAILS.

  17. bring back 1TB free storage for email 15gb is not enough

    The upcoming 'update' to a reduced 15GB storage is absurd. It had always been more than that or 1TB for free, this reduction is just unworkable. You can't even see how much you're using currently so this will disable accounts for no reason or warning. For people using email to archive things, this is a death sentence.

    Just don't be so stingy.

    Hi Curtis, very sorry but we currently are not reverting back our new storage plan. You can upgrade if you have too many emails or we provide deleting tools to help you delete the largest emails in your Inbox. Just go to your left hand navigation and then look towards the bottom where you see the Cloud icon. Thanks!

  18. Completely scrap the redesign.

    Revert back to what was a vastly superior user experience. The newer Yahoo! mail is not user-friendly. Navigating is a royal pain and a large amount of functionality is either gone or requires additional steps to accomplish. This is in no way an improvement!

  19. Please make the select all checkbox always visible!

    The only way that the Select All checkbox appears for me is if I first select an email. Please just make it ALWAYS visible!
