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.

Here is an idea. Stop doing whatever it is you did to make Yahoo mail SOOO terrible!! Everything is glitchy, I can't scroll smoothly without it jumping around or items temporarily disappearing before it comes back not where you wanted to be. What is going on?? Are you trying to make it as horrible as possible to people are forced into buying what has been FREE for YEARS?! Because there are plenty of other free email hosting sites happy to have your lost business.

I detest how you have ruined Yahoo Mail. I have been a customer for over 30 years and it has never been so horrible, slow, sluggish, ridiculous to try to use. I am disgusted with you.

This new interface you all went to a while ago is a nightmare! I wish you would give the option to go back to the old version that was much easier to use and find things in. Please make that an option. I only check this account on my phone cause it is awful on a computer.

been with yahoo for ever, and the latest update has been the worst. Plus it lags so much that I prefer just to use gmail instead. mobile app is the same the worst update so far - you just made my productivity go down by 80%.
Considering using gmail from now on.... -

What is the thinking with this new email UI?
You've killed a lot of useful (low cost) features and made other ones impossible to find. Last week I have a bar at the top of my email view that let me automatically filter for starred emails or things like that. Now that bar is gone. OK. Can't find how to get it back. It's a pain ********** to get that filter and once you click on something, the filtering goes away so I have to turn it on again.
And there seem to be hundreds of other basic 1990's email staples that are just gone or hugely cumbersome.
Plus, what did I gain with this new release??? I see nothing new.

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. -

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
