    Want to go back to old Yahoo or I will have to try a different site. This new Yahoo does not work well starting with the Inbox. I do not like the AI additions to my emails, etc tec. Please give option to go back.

    The new finance quotes site does not work well mechanically and would like to go back to old site. The information is good, but working of the site is bad, What is work with your tech people?

    Thanks for your feedback! We know change is hard and can be frustrating. Unfortunately, if you’re not seeing the “Go Back” button in the top, right hand corner, you cannot go back. Since last June, we’ve given our Community the chance to go back n forth, but it’s now time to start permanently transitioning. We really hope you’ll give the new experience a try! 🙏🏽💜

    Change it back the way it was. It's difficult to navigate and tell old mail from new mail. Why did you have to change it? You made the mail difficult to use. It was easy before you changed it.

  • Greg Mohr commented  ·   ·  Report

    Obviously a FIX for something that wasn't broken.
    New version has look and feel of gmail.

  • Melanie Neal commented  ·   ·  Report

    You took something that worked amazing and absolutely destroyed it. It is as if you went backward to the worst email version and called it an upgrade. Are you trying to get people to leave yahoo?
    So disappointing you will not let users go back to the old version of email.

    You've forced this upon all of us, we hate it, and I will find another provider PDQ if you don't unforce this ****.

    Terrible changes taking away such basics. You used to have a great Email set up now you have made things much more difficult with not working for me. We should have had an Option to Opt out. You have gone backwards instead of improving anything. Not well thought through to all of sudden make these changes. It has cost me a great deal of time. Such a waste of time dealing with what you have done to the Yahoo Email.

  • Danny P Carrone commented  ·   ·  Report

    YOu removed way too many features you once offered. Mail no longer is separated by when it came in. Now it all appears cluttered and no way to see by glance what's what.

    Its very cluttered now. Cannot tell what is new and what is old emails.

    No more empty trash or spam buttons?

    You claim you did this to make it better but you literally made it worse. Now its just like others like Gmail and Hotmail. I don't use those cuz they are cluttered and think they should separate all your mail for you. Nope, don't like it and prob will now use this even less as the others. Thanks for ruining this after 25 years.

    This new UI is just plain awful. Nobody asked for or wanted this. We choose yahoo because we liked it, but now i might as well just use my gmail account as my primary account. It may not look as good as the old yahoo UI, but it is better than this steaming pile of **** you are trying to force onto people. I've had a yahoo account for over 15 years, but if your new UI is going to be aggravating to use then why bother with it. What ******* thought moving all the emails into different folders rather than being able to view them in 1 simple inbox was better? You guys need to stop and reevaluate why people actually used your service in the first place, because a majority of the users hate this update and might switch to a different service where they will actually be able to do what they want.

  • Andrew Paul Loveridge commented  ·   ·  Report

    Absolutely hate the new format. Missing a lot of good features that the old format had. Will be switching soon and i've been a customer for over 20 years

  • Nathan Kay commented  ·   ·  Report

    Everybody keeps dismissively responding that you're not going to allow us to go back because you've allowed us to go back since last June. But you seem to be missing the point -- that's not a reason NOT to allow us to switch back, it's a reason TO allow us to switch back. There is no logical reason to force us to use a version nobody likes. Your responses are insultingly dismissive, as if your customers aren't the entire reason you exist. Nobody likes this. You need to give us our regular Yahoo Mail back. We have a Yahoo mail account because we like Yahoo Mail. If we wanted something else we would have something else. Please don't do this to us. Literally everybody is begging you. Nobody likes this. You can hope we'll give it a chance all you want -- WE DON'T WANT TO. NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS. WE CARE ABOUT ACCESSING OUR E-MAILS. It wasn't broken and you tried to fix it and now it IS broken. You moved all my e-mails into a different folder and you won't let me move them back into my inbox where they belong. I hate this so much. Whoever made the decision that we shouldn't be allowed to go back to the old version should be fired and not given a severance package. This is inexcusable. Stop deleting the feedback you don't like. The reason there are a lot of people saying that you need to bring back the "Go Back" button is because there are a lot of people who think you need to bring back the "Go Back" button. This is terrible of you to do this to people. I conduct business through my e-mail. People's jobs rely on their e-mails. Get rid of this atrocious nonsense nobody likes and give us YAHOO MAIL back. This isn't YAHOO MAIL. We're here for YAHOO MAIL not this garbage. Enough is enough. You've heard the overwhelming response. Stop covering your ears and refusing to listen and just own up to your mistake and give us the "Go Back" button back like everybody wants. Imagine Coca Cola just stops selling Coca Cola one day and just tells their customers to deal with it. Oh yeah they did that and nobody liked it and they did the smart thing and brought back the product people had been going to them for decades for. Give me my Yahoo Mail back. I don't want this. I want YAHOO MAIL. That's not what this is.

    First of all, this sudden change of the Yahoo mail format came without any notice to its users which I find very disturbing. The new format is not very comfortable navigating through. In regard to "Folders" the prior version made it possible to hide individual folders. This "new version" does not have that option. All folders are hidden when choosing the hide option. In addition, while scrolling down through your emails, the control bar disappears (stays on top) even when going back to basic mail. You should be able to scroll through your emails and then choose the action you want without scrolling back (up). None of the actions should be hidden. Even when going back to basic mail, the format is not the same as the original, so Yahoo should have left well enough alone!!!
    As users, we should be able to choose the format we prefer.

    It’s frustrating that there’s no way to go back to my old setup. You’re making it really difficult for those of us managing 50 different businesses. It would be better if you created a demo first and let us decide if we’re happy with it before we commit to the new portal.

  • Jocelyn Adamski commented  ·   ·  Report

    Sorry Yahoo, but this new version SUCKS and I HATE IT!

    It's hard to read, it's harder to navigate, you made it overall WAY LESS user friendly!
    Why do you want this to look like GMAIL- I HATE GMAIL because it's not user friendly and hard to see things.

    I can't tell the difference between read and unread anymore. You used to have keep classic as an option, but now I guess you are forcing people to use this new ****** one.

    I'm seriously going to have to decide if I want to keep my email here. I can barely read it. NO GOOD.

    I'm looking for a new job right now and it's a TERRIBLE time to have a new version of email that I CANNOT READ and is hard to manage.

    BOO! Bring back the old (SEE: WORKING) Version! PLEASE!
