how about you leave it alone
was great ..
now takes me ages just to bet to my mail
grrrrrr.. rr

your new mail is unfriendly, unprofessional and just unsightly. It makes doing anything take longer than needed. I like the classic because I can see my mailboxes on the sidebar at all times, as well as 'inbox/drafts/sent' etc AND any folders that mailbox has AT A GLANCE. My biggest complaint is that now even the old yahoo mail no longer has the infinate scroll option (preferable to me over paging over). Give us the option, not trade for another.

The colored bar at the top is softening to the blaring white or black of the new mail layout, and far more friendly. The font is more pleasing as well.

If you want to stay relevent, give us what we ask for, not shoving changes down our throats we did not request, and are less efficient while taking away everything that made us stay with you in the first place. do not be afraid to be different than your competitors, it's the only way that you can stay relevant. BUT, if the main market is starting to look like your old platform... don't take that as a sign you're no longer relevant. You had something good, now you're just mucking it up.

Do yourselves a favor and google what people are saying about the new yahoo.

The new mail version is extremely frustrating to navigate and is ugly compared to the prior version. And now if I try to switch back to the old version, it takes me back to the first version ever created, which not only doesn't allow any appearance features but also doesn't allow me to hide the subfolders within the folders. Forcing a specific interface is pretty disappointing.

Message list is spaced out way too far apart. I AM NOT USING A TOUCH SCREEN!!! The spacing reminds me of a kindergartner using jumbo crayons! When the list was spaced tighter together, I could skim through the list quicker and find the emails that I wanted to read quicker.
Get rid of the icons next to the message list!!! Or at least give us the option to turn them on or off. They are annoying, distracting, and useless.

There are two things that are not great about the new Yahoo Mail.
The first has to do with the "To:" line where we enter the email address that we are sending the email to. Let's say for example that I am sending the email to two people. After I put in the second email address and move to the subject line the app immediately compresses the second email address to "+1 more". This is irritating. And the change provides very little value. We want to see explicitly which email addresses we are sending the email to. When you have "+1 more" on the "To:" line it is actually problematic. The same comment applies to the "Cc:" line.

The second thing has to do with how you indicate the current selected email. I don't know why you changed this from the way it was before. The way it was before was fine. Now you indicate the selected email with the slim purple line on the right side of the email box. This is not better than the way it was before. It is worse! I think the way it was before you indicated new emails with a bold font, and already read emails were indicated with dark shading. That was good. The way it is now is not good.

I don't seem to have the option to switch back to the classic yahoo mail , why is that? I very much dislike the new yahoo mail look, I am really thinking of leaving yahoo because of this issue. Please send this as a compliant to the management. I really want to switch back to the classic yahoo mail and need the option to go back.

Whatever you did in this version of Yahoo Mail you have pretty much ruined the experience - it is completely counter intuitive and absolutely confusing how unread emails remain faded and read email get highlighted and become more prominent on the screen... In the past the experience was a lot more intuitive - the unread emails stood out and the read ones were faded. Please allow us to get back to that experience.

This new version doesnt allow us to move stuff to folders! The folders dont open all and is impossible to move stuff to them! Our inbox is visually too small due to the Adds thing at the bottom! i HATE this new update and much Prefer the older one! Im with yahoo for 15 years its always been the same, why change now?!!! Stop with this stupid stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Yahoo overlay on the Comcast e-mail is a cheap trick and an inconvenience. It is not simpler, it is more complicated than accessing my Comcast mail directly. It looks like just another way to make money for Yahoo (stupid name!) with more ads, and for Comcast with Yahoo sharing the revenue.
Yahoo and Comcast --- you can both shove it. I'll go back to SBC Global.

Why have Yahoo removed the option to swtich back to the old version. Help pages are out of date that refer how to do this. Oh and sack whoever designed the new version,

Your new email layout and format is terrible. The ease and use of the site itself is terrible. It's as bad or worse than some apps out there. Stop trying to copy apps and concentrate on a good working website. Common sense. Eh?

Listen to your userbase for once and do the right thing .. a controversial idea, I know. All I see in forums are comments about how absolutely terrible the new UI is

I HATE THE NEW LAYOUT AND SWITCH BACK TO BASIC VIEW IS NOT AVAILABLE

Hi,
I really don't like the new version of the latest updates! I wish I could go back to the old one, much clearer for me. I feel like my mailbox is in a big mess and in reality I'm going there now, only when I really need. You should have an option, that who doesn't feel comfortable with the new one, to go back to the old one. I'm extremely dissapointed and your made much harder for me to use it.

Return to the old, WORKING, email. No more scrambled messages. Just clear and complete as it was.

There's so much screen real estate wasted in between panes that it makes viewing on small laptop screens painful. I like Outlook's "Use tighter spacing" option (not available yet? on newer versions of Outlook) that reduces the space between emails in the message list pane; I'd like something like that in Yahoo mail too. In your message list preferences popup, I see options for "Expanded" and "Compact". Please add something even more compact than "Compact". And when that option is chosen, also use less space between folders in the folder pane. And please add an option somewhere to use less space between panes in the UI, to more effectively use space on a small screen (but also available even on large screens).

1) The way the new inboxes look only about 1/4 of my screen is used to read emails, and i usually have to scroll up and down, and also left and right, just to read them. This is ridiculous, please devote more of the screen to the actual emails please.
2) What is with the Starred/Contacts/More panel on the right? It contains absolutely nothing and is literally useless. Delete it, or please give us the option to hide or minimize it.
3) Eliminate the tabs, I hate them. Show me my entire inbox, or give me the option to choose which tab my email automatically defaults to when I log in. All, Primary, Offers, Social, Newsletters - this is completely unnecessary.
If you are trying to drive me away from using all of yahoo's services entirely you are doing a great job at that at least. I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS NEW FORMAT.

Go back to the original Yahoo Mail for desktop/browsers... The upgrades to calendar are unappealing and are not user friendly...

Calendar needs DARKER line ne breaks between the days, more options for customizing calendars, option to DELETE calendar besides ADD new...

Contacts in old yahoo DO NOT open when selected to view ALL the contact information, Options given are to DELETE or EDIT contact... When EDIT is selected it does not show ALL the contact information...

In New Yahoo the contact box is tiny and does not stand out. Contact information is shown in a 1/4 screen (cell phone)

Your revised email platform is JUNK. PLEEEEEASE revise the old system. It was very reliable and worked great EVERY TIME!

New look is appalling. The only thing worse is the lack of choice to switch back.
