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.

    The new reminders are adding confusion where there was none!

    My idea is to go back to the original look. This new inbox is very ******* the eyes. Also, I don't think it is up to you tyo decide what is a priority for me. Get rid of that priority box. It is redundant and unnecessary.
    gmail is starti8ng to0 look better.

    Hate, hate, HATE the new Yahoo. It's SO messy looking. It's insane that hovering over the subject line generates icons to click. DUMB. And deciding what messages are "Priority" on my behalf. Big fat NO. I'm missing messages that I need to read and it's a pain to have to select "All" every time I sign into Yahoo. I think I'll move everything over to GMAIL after decades of using Yahoo. What a shame!

    Where to begin.
    1. cant find related emails in one click via magnifier on each email
    2. Ambiguous difference between read and unread email
    3. AI Intrusion AKA privacy concerns.
    4. the original dark mode color palette was much better
    5. more space for you to bombard me with adds
    6. Design was clearly made by a new hire to be more more childish and less functional

    Conclusion. I do not like it I want the classic version back. I've only used the new Mail for 5 min and despise it, and before you ask that will not change. I will only continue to find problems the longer I use it, and if you leave me no other option I will backup my important emails and go elsewhere.

    The new Yahoo mail version is awful!!!!!!!!!! I can't scroll to see the bottom of the window and I can't open my window larger to view what it won't let me view. It is hard to find anything. It looks dull and boring. It really is awful. If I can't figure this out, I am going to stop using yahoo all together. I have been using it for over 16 years.

    This forced change is awful and I am very upset trying to find things and navigate on the mail page with my computer. I can only manage my email on my phone. Having to use only my phone to understand how to use and navigate my emails is not worth it.

    Yahoo should have never discontinued the classic version (which always was superior to all versions after). New is not always better, and for my experience with Yahoo mail, the old was always superior. I am very dissatisfied with this change.

    This new layout was made with one thing in mind: more space for ads to save Yahoo. This drastic change however, will backfire, forcing people to go over to Gmail.

    The old layout was tailored for ... serving email. It was compact, detailed, and dependable. Space was used with efficiency in mind, and you could even customize its aesthetics for a business look or a friendlier vibe.

    This new layout is not for a heavy user, my immediate reaction was how much unused space there was, contrasted by how small the message preview window was. You'd think it's a no brainer to just expand the preview window to the right, and minimize secondary page elements, but then that wouldn't align with the ads first, user last thing they've got going on. Here I am scrolling in 11 dimensions just to read the whole message that is too wide and too tall for the preview window, while HALF the page is empty!

    This is only one bad aspect, but there are unlimited quirks to this new layout. For example:
    - Can't see new message icon on connected inboxes.
    - Dark mode affects the email content for some reason, which ruins how the sender intended the email to look and makes some text unreadable (that's a corporate nightmare in and of itself).
    - No longer able to exit an email by pressing "esc", creating privacy concerns.
    - The incredibly problematic AI summaries that no one asked for, causing even more privacy concerns.
    - Can't empty trash from the outside.
    - Multiple clicks necessary to switch inboxes, access trash, spam and other folders.
    - Claustrophobic.
    - Oh and, it doesn't update the inbox as frequently. Try sending a test email to yourself, it'll take about a minute to see it in your inbox, unless you refresh (welcome to new basic mail).

    I've relied on Yahoo for almost two decades, but I consider this too much, so I think it's time to switch.

    How do I go back to the classic UI?

    "*Those asking about going back to the old version. Unfortunately, if you do not see the "Go Back" button you cannot to back. We really hope you'll try the new experience! Thanks! "

    Then put the "Go Back" button back on my UI. I've already tried the "new experience." It was not a good experience.
