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.

    Stick that 'toggle this and toggle that' garbage where the sun doesn't shine!

  • Marilyn Hall commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am missing messages, people have phoned to ask why I didn't respond. I also want to review my subscriptions. After a few messages, 2024 appears. after searching, I now found how to delete trash. This is the biggest secret of the new update. I am glad that I am not the only one wanting the old version. I have been with Yahoo forever.

    The new version of Yahoo mail SUCKS! Total garbage! Forcing an AI "summary" on me is not something I wanted and I can't even shut off. I want the classic version option back. Fix this disaster!

  • Louise Dawson commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am missing hundreds of emails! I am no longer receiving many. One of those is the Alabama Football newsletter!!!!! Return all my emails and put me back to the former set up.

  • Nike R. Nickel commented  ·   ·  Report

    This "new version" of yahoo email is TRASH. Everything is all "jumbled up" and there was no reason to change anything - it worked just fine before! Seriously. What a waste of time!

  • S.D. Bert commented  ·   ·  Report

    The new version is GARBAGE. Who in the world thought this was better than the Classic version that has so many more good features then what you have now made me use. If it is not broken, then don't start changing things up. You have wasted so much of my time dealing with your new version that is not working for me. Please give me the Option to keep the Classic Email version that worked for me.

    The new yahoo mail is HORRID. Completely unusable. It is incredibly frustrating to try to review emails with this new format. My inbox just freezes at this point with all of the ads. This is so incredibly dissapointing.

  • Cody Williams commented  ·   ·  Report

    This new version is utter garbage! Please give us back the old yahoo email.

  • Hooshang Ranji commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you do not return to the previous version I will move to gmail service! this version is trash!

  • Randy Bennett commented  ·   ·  Report

    I prefer the old version tremendously better. Why are all my emails in gray scale. How is this helpful? I do not see how the new version is better.

    This new version sucks. Give me my mail back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is awful for many reasons but I will really delve in what is wrong with this new layout:

    Dark mode is absolutely atrocious on this layout. On the older you could change the color per inbox and create a very readable and easy view (and was also a nice feature). This is an obvious case of over-design in which readability and features have been sacrificed for app like design. Now, even on dark mode, the email becomes undecipherable at a glance. Adding so much grey with rounded lines and no space to create a quirky app style layout makes for a large info-heavy desktop look. Plus text is much bigger ,uniform,and closer together so quickly spotting dates, senders, and subjects becomes something you have to focus on rather that quickly glance over.

    And don't even get me started on the expanded view. Why would I want emails to replicate the look of phone notifications. The date on right next to the sender on the same line?! If you wanted to replicate phone notifications the least you could do is put the date on the right side of the sender line. You need to understand the medium you create for. Text size, layout, ect. are all cohesive to the device you use. If you use things meant for a phone for web design then things become hard to look at and too big. These things work for mobile due to the fact that THEY ARE MEANT FOR A PHONE. The size and shape works for the phone screen. On a laptop or desktop screen you end up with a huge jumbled mess that is too close together with too much design. Desktop screens are big and therefore you should be using some sort of negative space in your design.

    Which brings me to negative space: oh my god for the sake of everyone negative space is important for your eyes to identify what is important. When everything on the site has equal weight on the eyes its impossible to parse through information quickly. Instead I have to read through what feels like a wall of text which wouldn't be a problem for something mundane except THIS IS EMAIL! The one thing you would need to do when checking email is quickly parse through information. If you can't do that then what good is email for? In what little negative space there is filled with icons for attachments and such so you could theoretically have a whole page FILLED with just a few space bar clicks in between everything. Have y'all (and you work at an office so I know you have) worked in an office and had to read an excel sheet with no spacing and lots of information? Is it fun or easy to parse through that? No of course not. That's why design needs AIR!

    Last but not least, as someone who is younger and can adapt to badly designed websites, older people cannot. You create a website that is not intuitive and annoying to navigate to the average user at best, and not intuitive and impossible to navigate to the older users at worst. Gmail is over-designed for the sake of trying to push forward. That's what so many people young and old hate. A "don't fix what ain't broke" situation. If you want every old person jumping down your support teams throat every 5 seconds then sure, keep a design that they can't navigate intuitively.

    A core principle of design is to make sure you have an accessible and user-friendly experience first before any of the fluff of the design. I think y'all have failed at that, and I seriously hope you take that into consideration. And when I say "y''all" I don't just mean the graphic designers. I mean CEO's and managers as well, because I know some of your graphic designers tried to push against this but were ignored for the sake of impressing some shareholder with a "look we are doing something!" attempt. I get it, your product works too well as is and some man in a suit is asking "what are we doing next!", but I beg of you to realize that alienating all of your users to just give up and move to gmail is NOT going to make that shareholder happy.

    I liked the classic way better.. The new version sucks..

  • Kristine Mattson commented  ·   ·  Report

    I HATE the new format --- I can't see what is in my box because it is so cluttered with icons and color. Then when you float your curser over it is easy to accidentally delete things. I cant stand having my email grouped --- it's ALL important. Now I cant even get it to go to classics view.....GMAIL here I come.

  • MALCOLM TELLOIAN commented  ·   ·  Report

    I believe most folks won't want any changes, but I especially don't because I'll be 97 this September.

  • Alfred M Granberry commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don't like the chat grouping. I get confused too easily by the messages being linked together as if sent all at once.
