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 do not like the new format. You should allow the option to return to the previous format.

I just posted this review on the apple iOs app store for the Yahoo mail app. Based on my review of other reviews, there are many others with similar reviews and problems with the new UI redesign that makes the app entirely inefficient, difficult, and time consuming to navigate. Please give the option to revert to the previous excellent easily navigable version of the app. The review I posted as follows:
I have been using and paying for The Yahoo Mail+ app for many years. I preferred it since user interface (UI) WAS very intuitive, well designed, easily navigable, and efficient with a minimal number of clicks required to navigate to separate inboxes and folders UNTIL Yahoo recently forced the major redesign of the user interface that makes the app entirely far more time consuming and frustrating to navigate.The previous UI version permitted quick one click navigation to any function such as choose an inbox or folder, it also made it simple to “select all” emails in a given folder, all of that time efficient functionality has now been replaced with a user interface that requires:
a swipe + scrolling + clicking on the “more” option + more scrolling to get to most folders and then going through all of that again to navigate to a different folder.
The previous efficient UI version was quick and efficient: simply scroll and click on a chosen folder or function.
This new UI also often erroneously opens an email when clicking on the choose box to only select the email on which to perform a function such as move, delete, etc. very annoying.
Some may prefer the new UI. Based on reviews I have noted, many such as me do not prefer the new UI and are requesting the option be provided to choose the previous well designed and efficient UI.
If it isn’t broken, don’t “fix it”.

I absolutely hate the new layout and there is no way to go back to the previous layout! If you are trying to put off the few remaining yahoo mail users, you are doing a great job!

Please restore the full functionality and usability of the previous Yahoo Mail interface.
The new Yahoo Mail design, as well as the so-called “classic” version of the new interface, are significantly less comfortable and efficient to use. The old layout was simple, fast, and very user-friendly — everything was accessible at a glance.
One of the most frustrating changes is the removal of **auto scrolling / infinite scroll**. Having to click manually through pages breaks the flow of reading and managing emails. The older version allowed continuous browsing without interruptions, which made it much easier to handle large inboxes.
Other issues:
– The new buttons and spacing waste a lot of screen space.
– It takes more clicks to perform basic actions.
– The overall interface feels slower and less intuitive.
– Visual hierarchy is weaker; it’s harder to scan messages quickly.In short, the old Yahoo Mail was clean, efficient, and ergonomic. Please consider bringing back the previous interface or at least allow users to **choose between the old and new layouts**.
Many loyal Yahoo users are frustrated and may leave the service if usability continues to decline. Listening to user feedback on this would mean a lot — Yahoo Mail used to be a great example of practical, no-nonsense design.

You can improve the new Yahoo Mail by reverting back to the previous - there was nothing wrong with it!

Hello,
I'd like to go back to the Classic / Basic Yahoo Mail, please.
It seems that I do not have this option in my Settings anymore!
Could you, please, give choice to people in case they want to stay with the Classic version of Yahoo.
If I have to use the new version, I'll be looking to move to another Email provider despite being with Yahoo for more than 20 years.
Is there a way where you could send me a link through which I can recover my previous Yahoo version?
My Email address is rossita_pe@yahoo.co.uk.Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Rossita -

The worst email I've ever seen and Yahoo knows it....that's why they are charging you a fee to go back to the old version.

I have been a yahoo user for 20+ years, and the latest email look at feel makes it really hard to sepearte ads from actualy emails, but i guess thats the point for your ad revenues to get bigger.
However, this makes me, (and i am sure many others,) not want to use yahoo mail anymore because it is VERY annyoing to see so many ads in your email list...

1st get a business plan that offers something of value. something worth paying for instead of suddenly making something that has already been functional and free, suk so much we want to pay for something else. I notice how this page has a font so small it is hard to read while your new yahoo is in a unchangeable font large its not understandable. I hate you.

I don't like that I can't drag emails into folders. I also don't like that I can't see my folders any more at the side of my emails. The large fonts are too large. I don't like this new view.

Here is a great idea. GET RID OF THE NEW YAHOO MAIL - IT'S RUBBISH! THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PREVIOUS VERSION. Remember the expression . . . ''IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!!!'' Alternatively: GIVE USERS THE CHOICE! Whoever designed the new version, fire them from their job, you will save on salaries!

Make it possible to switch back to the classic email version. I am getting crazy from the new one.
It is NOT functional and it makes you uncertain to find anything! -

Absolutely hate the new-look email page design. It seems to be utterly childish with large print and toddler-friendly icons and print and guides and changes. For goodness sake, give us the option to return to an adult page design, rather than this insulting baby-look Email for Dummies presentation. Please don't change things that aren't broken. Also what is the point in allowing us to choose our own personal themes for how we want to make our page comfortable and familiar for us individually, when you just make a sweeping change and delete the lot? Really angry about this. And I can't be the only one, because you have posted a notice at the top telling us we can't go back. Why not?
