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.

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 Help pages are out of date that refer how to do this.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

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.

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)

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

I've tried the new email a few times now. The existing version is simpler and easier to use.

You know some one is really smart and a complete sociopath. Yes making the the old yahoo mail so terrible to use will make people migrate to the new system. No it won't keep them from being ****** off at you. The "old" yahoo mail worked very well, the layout was easily distiguished between read and unread, the preview was just big enough to be useful without taking up too much space. plus a lot of other small things that made it work well. The problem with trying to make a good system feel new is that new has to be different and changing a good system tends to make it not good anymore. i wish i could tell you which version I am talking about because it is clear you are running multiple versions for different customers but I can't find a version number in the program. I'd gladly pay Yahoo to run the old version, but I'm learning other email clients now so that I don't have to use your stupidly designed program.

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 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
