I hate the new version of Firefox mail. It crashes multiple times throughout the day. i have still been unable to add bold, underline or italics to type. The multiple shaded listings of received e-mails is much more uncomfortable to read, as opposed to no shading.. It would be nice if the people at Firefox followed that old wise saying: IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT

@scott lindner: I completely agree with your analysis, it's extremely pertinent (and might unfortunately be true, i.e. they've retired the mess for now, but next time there won't be no way back (possibly just the Basic).

While we are all happy to again have (permanent?; temporary?) access to the Classic format of Yahoo email, let’s not trip over ourselves applauding Yahoo over their move to “switch back to Classic”, nor totally forget-and-forgive their still-existing failings related to transparency, communication, and decision making.
We were all surprised and PO’d when our Classic format went away a few weeks ago – without prior notice or explanation from Yahoo. No “heads-up” email notice of “changes are coming”, no banner or pop-up warning with a link to explain what they were about to do. Further, there was not even an after-the-fact notice for what they had done! Their only communication or acknowledgement of the change that I recall is the “you are SOL” comment that was displayed at the top of the Yahoo Mail feedback page (https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/962180-new-yahoo-mail):
*Those asking about going back to the old version. Unfortunately, if you do not see the "Go Back" button you cannot go back. We really hope you'll try the new experience! Thanks!
Then we apparently complained enough for them to switch it back. So we are happy. For now. For how long? Just as they were demonstratively poor in transparency, communication and decision making to switch us away from Classic, they have demonstrated those same failings in switching us back. Suddenly, the option to switch back reappeared within the Settings window. There was no “hey, we heard you” email announcement – much less one with instructions how to switch back. (Scroll down through this blog; there are still new entries from people – apparently unaware - complaining about not being able to switch back to Classic.) Is the change permanent, or just until they “fix” a few things and force another unannounced change upon us?
Accordingly, I am very suspect. It wouldn’t take much effort from Yahoo Mail to win back much of my trust. But as long as their only reference to the recent debacle remains the now-outdated “you are SOL” message noted above (yes, it is still there), I’m not holding my breath for them. As a longtime Yahoo Mail user who just successfully searched and found an email from 1999, the reality is very disappointing.

Go back to old version. new version is hard to navigate. I have not been able to see all my emails since the switch. Give me back my old style before I switch to gmail....

The new version seems to have no new benefits and lacks many of the basic search features of the classic version. The new version is also buggy in that it keeps reverting back to a filtered view even after clearing the filter and going back to inbox. I have thousands of emails to search and need all the functionality that the classic version had for searching emails.

PLEASE GIVE US THE OPTION TO GO BACK TO CLASSIC YAHOO!!! I've tried to adapt to the new version and there are too many changes. I have missed and deleted important emails and it's very frustrating! PLEASE listen to us and just give us that option!

I've lost a lot of emails! I scroll down inside the emails and the rest of the message is not accessible! Please, return to the classic version. I have an older laptop which is difficult enough to use, these changes are just unacceptable!

Whoever thought this new version was better. should be fired. So should the people who approved it! Return the classic version now!

It's not user friendly and a challenge to read and find what you are looking for. I wish that, when something works, that you could let it be.

DO NOT CHANGE!!!
I have another account which changed without my knowledge and it's totally ****. Can't find things, hard to navigate, can't even move spam from my inbox to the spam folder. And that's just a few issues I've come across so far.
If it's not broken, it doesn't need to be fixed.
KEEP CLASSIC MAIL!!!

The new look is awful, and the functionality is even worse!
I can no longer find email I filed in folders that I've created over the years. How can I get access to folders where I placed valuable email? -

I don't like this new format at all. What was wrong with the old version? Did someone come up with this mess on their own, or was a committee involved? If I were in charge of Yahoo, I'd fire everyone who put a finger in this pie.

When I switched back I had a ton of emails waiting for me that the USELESS new mail program did not display.
