New looks like ****.

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.

Yahoo mail sucks now...im about to just stop using it and start using my Google mail. It sucks more each day..i learned that if i want to delete files in the Sent folder, in the past i could click on all and press delete onec, some moron thought it was good idea to make users have tio click delete for each file, so if i sent 50 emails i have tio press delete 50 times! Talk about going backwards in technology!!!

To yahoo management:

the new look is BLOODY TERRIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as well as SOOOOOO VERY HATED !!!!!!!!!!!!! by all users of your platform and I would VERY STRONGLY !!!!!!!!!!!!! advise that you pay attention to us (your users) before we take our loyalty and give to someone else. In short listen to what we're saying or suffer the consequences of being STUPID !!!!! and stubborn as we (your users) LEAVE IN DROVES !!!! and go elsewhere. I'm quite sure Gmail would love the increase in business.

I want the classic version back. Please put me back to the classic version.

Please return Classic Yahoo email,

Thank You <3

I tried to dump the new version, but it won't let me go to basic. They really should just go badk to the previous version. I don't know why they messed it up like that. Maybe they're just bored, but it's really a mess.

PLEASE put me back to the original version! I'm upset that I can't use it, I've been using it for years and do NOT want change.

If the basic mail option had a reading pane, I'd be happy with it. this new mail is the worst they've done yet. It's glitchy when you scroll. Unread emails is nowhere on the page and it should be more clear on each messages if read or unread. also needs to be one click to toggle between all and unread. Ads look like unread messages, so if I were an ad provider, id pull out immediately because you'll be paying for a lot more clicks because yahoo deceived users into clicking. so much more trash, but some you can turn off.

This new version sucks, won't update inbox, lame...

GO BACK TO THE CLASSIC VERSION

I swear to god. I you change this again and I cannot revert back. I am done with this service. I am sensitive bright light and I did not appreciate getting flash banged. I am literally seeing white spots right now and it has been 10 mins. Even this uservoice page is bright.

This Yahoo Mail update is awful! If it's not broken-don't fix it! Please go back to the old format.

Go back to classic version. Current one looks like printed on a typewriter. Terrible to read.

I do not like the new look. I was able to select all emails that I wanted to delete by selecting one and scrolling down the listing and hold the shift key to select all. Now it is one at a time....a waist of time....and efficiency .

Go back to classic yahoo mail. There is no delete button and it makes it harder to read my mail also. where is my trash button? Where are my folders to save my mail?? I dont like the New Yahoo mail.

Yahoo really needs to start listening to their customers. Give everyone the option to switch back. This new version is buggy, missing features, is ugly, and extremely slow. Anyone who has a paid Yahoo Mail Plus account can call their paid support line for free. Please call them and demand we get the option to switch back. 800-305-7664

The new yahoo mail makes me want to throw my laptop out the window. I had to learn NEW curse words to come anywhere close to expressing how incredibly much I hate the new yahoo mail. Y'all are rapidly resurrecting the negative connotations of the term yahoo. Allow me to list a few things that I have enjoyed MORE than the new yahoo mail. Having to have a sewing needle surgically removed from my knee when I was 13. My father dying when I was 13. My ex-wife cheating on me with my best friend. Doing a colonoscopy prep. I think you get the point.

I like the classic version better.
Please restore the classic version.
Thank you
