    New version of mail is terrible. Please switch back and do not try to fix something that isn't broken.

  • Larry Mm commented  ·   ·  Report

    I hate this "new version" Please return me to the older version. My wife uses to never used her gmail and now she has stopped using yahoo and switched because of the changes you have made.

  • Jack Plato commented  ·   ·  Report

    Thank you Yahoo!

    Users can go back to the original Yahoo Mail by doing the following:

    1.) Go to Settings.

    2.) Select "Switch to Old Yahoo Mail."

    Yahoo, please keep the old Yahoo Mail version indefinitely, as well as always having an option for people to "Opt Out" of the new version indefinitely.

  • Larry Urbanski commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you are stuck with the new Yahoo mail go to Settings...Go back to old email...is there! Click on it to go back.

    Thank you for enabling the original Yahoo version again. What a relief! There is no need for an "update". Your layout, graphics and functionalities are way superior to Gmail!
    FOR ANYONE TRYING TO SWITCH BACK: GO INTO YOUR SETTINGS AND YOU WILL FIND THE OPTION TO SWITCH BACK TOWARDS THE LOWER PART OF THE SCROLL DOWN MENU.

    PLEASE GO BACK TO THE CLASSIC VERSION. THIS IS COSTING ME SO MUCH TIME. I AM ALMOST CONSIDERING USING ANOTHER EMAIL PLATFORM. THIS IS HORRIBLE DECISION FOR BUSINESS EMAIL USE WITHOUT GIVING SOMEONE AN OPTION TO SWITCH BACK.

    Who dreamed up this stupid version of yahoo? Let me go back to the old version

  • Aynett Gomez commented  ·   ·  Report

    How do you swich back to the classic Yahoo version?

  • Beverlee Henry commented  ·   ·  Report

    I totally dislike this new version! I am considering NOT using Yahoo mail unless you go back to the more friendly version.

  • Carrie Cleary commented  ·   ·  Report

    I was able to switch back to the classic version today too. Please keep this option available Yahoo! The classic version is so much more user friendly.

    To those of you who want to go back to the classic verision, go into your settings and see if you are now able to. It's in small print and you have to scroll down.

    I really do not like the "new and improved" interface. I am a graphic designer, not a UI or UX designer but I want to add my two cents to this discussion...

    From my point of view:

    First remove the right column, it is a waste of space, that, or at least give me the option to hide it. Why?, When I try to read my email in a low-resolution screen, the right column takes too much screen space. You want leave it there then make it icons instead. Did you really want to increase some screen space making the left column icons, instead of text, then do not waste it on the right column bigger than the left one.

    Second: why do you choose to tell me what it is important for me, promotions I get it, social too but show me the rest of the emails i have even the ones I already answered, how can I manage my business if I cannot see my past emails. Do you want me to look for them in the “all emails” tab? Then the objective of sorting the them by tabs is wasted.

    Third: PLEASE... take out the small icons shown between the select box and the email text; they are too distracting, you always want a cleaner interface, if this was your objective, then, doing things like this is a waste of resources. the less distracting UI the better. From my point of view, this is a really bad design choice...

    Please learn a little bit of design principles. Take in considerations examples like this ones, "if you write all in bold then THERE IS NO BOLD" contrast is one of the basic principles of design (more on that later). Next principle i follow - "use fewer fonts as possible". Why? Because is too distracting and your message will be lost in chaos.why I'm saying this, because the icons break this design principle.

    Additionally, showing the icons waste too much of the row space, why? Because it makes the email row too tall wasting vertical space.

    More so, this language (english) is read from left to right, so, if you see the icons before the text this drive a way the sight of what is really important for the viewer, the data, the email you want to read, that is why you have an email isnt' it.

    Learn a little bit about contrast, for example in regard of the left column with the old UI you had it right; we could personalize the user interface making it darker to improve readability. Now, we only have white and dark theme, which I think is the wrong choice, the ability to customize the theme would improve user experience. So, as I said before, contrast is one of the most important design principles you can learn. You always use the contrast to direct the viewer’s eye to the important part of the message you want to send.

    This is only my take on this… I can still go on and on.

    PLESAE, For the love of god, hire a professional UI / UX designer to guide you, I am not one of them by the way, I am just a freelance who do small design jobs from time to time.

    Oh!... i forgot, please do not hide important things like the settings option.

    If you really want to copy the Gmail interface, please study it and copy only the good things… PLEASE

    PS. I have to say sorry because of my lack of knowledge writing English, it is not my first language so please be gentle.

    MY idea is for you to give me us back our old classic e-mail. The new e-mail is nothing but a plain jane pain in the rear. We're in our late 60's and do not need the bells and whistles. Please give us back our old e-mail.

    Thank you.

    This redesign is not at all appealing and very difficult to configure to my preference.
    #1 - The body of most emails don't render to fit within the read window.
    #2 - Why can't I remove the contacts panel within settings or preference?
    #3 - Allow users to opt-out of this interface version.

    This new plan is ridiculous. So back to the old way. I keep adding my feedback but it seems it is ignored. If we can't have a choice of how our pages look then you have a problem.

    I signed in today and saw that I was back to the classic version! Yayyy! I like being able to sort by sender (not date). I like when I can see all my email, not 50 at a time. I like when I click on one email and then click back to my home screen and it does not automatically go back to sorting by date and I have to again tell it to sort by sender. And I really like having it do the command when I click instead of having to hit APPLY. Please leave it alone! It works as is.

    Worst interface ever, looks like IOS , for babies, please go back !

  • RKR RKR commented  ·   ·  Report

    OMG the new version SUCKS!!!! I cannot block delete and even delete has been molested to where you have to delete the emails individually. The tool bar up top gets lost behind an ad bar that will not go away!!! How do I change back please?
