Welcome. How can we improve the New Yahoo Mail?

← New Yahoo Mail

Return to Classic Mail

Go back to the original Yahoo. This is terrible. Why do I have to click on the 3 dots on the bottom to get the Spam and Trash Folders. They should be on the top with the icons for inbox, etc.

    I've had my Yahoo account for 25 years!! I HATE this new "whatever" you have going on. It's not easier. It's not user friendly, It's a nightmare. It's like walking in to a room taking a child's favorite toy out of his hand and then handing him a potato.We didn't ask for this. We didn't want this and We certainly don't want to go to Google after all these years. All we want is a way to go back to the original. So if you're crazy and you like it, keep it. Good for you, and if you're crazy and you hate then you don't have to be forced to have it or start all over again after being a faithful user of 25 years. That's all we're asking for Yahoo. C'mon

    I hope this is the correct place can you PLEASE help me go back to basic email form. I really really dislike this new form and have a hard time working with it

    Thank you!

    I hate your 'new' layout. I don't like the 1/2 page with stupid ads to the Rt. Return to a full page of email!

    ALSO: Yahoo's censoring of comments really sucks. I have in the past written comments using the same words or sentences as your story and you won't allow it because it might hurt some socialist feelings.

    Go back to the old version. That's the idea. Nothing more. Whoever designed the new version clearly does not use email. This is terrible - the new version has added nothing, and instead has made the inbox harder to view and emails easier to miss. The amount of people trying to switch back should tell Yahoo just how bad this update is.

    The new UI that was forced upon me a week ago is awful. People online talk of an option to in settings to revert to the previous UI but that option doesn't appear for me. Here's a few of the reasons I find the new UI so awful:
    - there's too many vertical panes squeezed in side by side and that means there's not enough width left available for me to see all of an email in the reading pane without needing to side scroll. I'm on a 16:10 15" screen at 110% zoom, so it's already a wide'ish screen, and the zoom isn't unreasonable, and it's painful to use now.
    - the archive button has been moved behind the 3 dots menu, so now needs 2 clicks to archive something instead of 1
    - and you don't even give us the option to revert to the alternative UI

    I hate the new email and since today when I hit go back. The old version only shows about 20 emails and then you have to select next and next and next instead of scrolling. I dont like the looks or navigation or anything about the layout. And the ANdroid app is a joke now. I cant send reply and cant forward and I cant compose and send. I call everyday and waste hours because they cant get on the screen for screen sharing. The whole mess that they made it awful Looking for new email after 30 years is not easy

    Stop. Just stop. Or maybe stop dripping out the "changes" one or two things at a time. I never know what to expect. It's just too overwhelming. Give us a break already, ok?

    Try to delete an email and the delete button jumps around and I end up opening it instead.

    Who is designing these changes? Do you actually use Yahoo email?

    I'd like to get rid of the big "starred contacts and more" on the right side of the screen. Why can't I get rid of this?

    Why is emailing a list from contacts so difficult?

    Why can't people automatically get added as contacts? Gmail manages to do this.

    Why is creating or editing a contact so challenging? So clunky and ugly.

    Oh, my, God, I'm so over this! Looking at going to gmail.

    I've had Yahoo mail for over 27 years and this desktop version is the worst ever. It constantly freezes, you cannot get around the Ads, and it's difficult to move around the inbox without significant delay. It's also difficult to see what email messages are new. I think this is the final straw to move me to a gmail account. This is absolutely crazy in 2025 to have mail freeze every day because of constant ads. I'm done with Yahoo. There is much better out there.

    The New Yahoo Mail is ridiculous! What do you mean Basic Mail setting is not available for my account at this time?!? You changed the layout without my approval -- I did not want the New Yahoo Mail layout and had no way of exiting it when it first popped up; the system just forced it! It's hideous, basically copying Gmail and I do not want it. I want the old layout back -- that was simple, easy to read (when it isn't broken, don't fix it -- or at least give people the choice!!!).

  • V Kafarov commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can you consider yahoo classic theme? I liked it a lot, but it seems that the new interface has removed it, which is not convenient,

    thanks,

    Feed back re: new look. I am frustrated with the "new look" and would appreciate being restored to the former format without additional charge.

  • Joe Bock commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please don't change anything OR at least give an option to leave it the same (AND MAKE IT CLEAR HOW TO KEEP IT THE SAME IF YOU WANT IT TO BE, insread of it being some switch in settings that takes forever to find). There is nothing wrong with the way it is now & from what I've seen of the summaries they just make everything more crowded with nonsense.

  • Joseph Bertin commented  ·   ·  Report

    this is basically the same layout as mail+ which i hated. I want the old layout

  • Mary Matthews commented  ·   ·  Report

    Put things back to the old email. Just because you think it's improved, doesn't mean you're right. The new version sucks. You have fixed something that wasn't broken. If you think this will make me buy another version, you are wrong.

  • Javier Sanz commented  ·   ·  Report

    Classic mail should be an option, or at least more control over appearance. You are making choices not everyone will want when changing the interface

  • danny hebert commented  ·   ·  Report

    Go back to the good one.. This one is a big down grade.. It is a lot harder to use..

  • Saaher Muzafer commented  ·   ·  Report

    terrible interface in everyway, how can i switch to the old one. if I cant, I will leave yahoo.. so bad, the people who approved this should be fired

  • Alexandra Diem commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is completely counter-intuitive and is incredibly difficult to use. Why are read messages grey? Cant they be unbolded instead like the previous version? Why does ever folder expand when I try to move an email to a folder just above the other folders? The columns are too small and can we please just get rid of the **** far right column that is totally useless? Being forced to move to the new yahoo because the old version is no longer working is total ****. I've been a yahoo user since 1994 - don't change things just for the sake of changing them if the functionality is not better or easier. It's just awful.
