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.

    I hate this format, Quite shading Things, you do NOT know what is important to me!

    Why does yahoo always sign me out and try to make it impossible to sign back in? I am ready to delete yahoo mail and send gmail addy to update all my emails and contacts at this point!

  • Danny Shaw commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why the **** do you think Yahoo lasted since 1997? It certainly wasn't waiting for some Gen Z to come in and change it to Gmail. Enough Yahoo give us the ability to get the classic version back, and you there in N.Y. use this garbage at Yahoo headquarters.

    I HATE THIS NEW VERSION AND FIND IT CONFUSING AND HAVE ASKED TO CHANGE BACK TO CLASSIC VERSION NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO RESULTS.

  • Vanessa Torres commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's so hard to go through emails now. I can't tell what's what. Please go back to classic.

    Return to the older version - much more user friendly. My contact list has been affected and many contacts have been LOST!!!! also, the inbox and spam folders should appear as part of the view - not having to use a drop-down screen to access. This version is just awful - GO BACK to the previous version. SHAME on yahoo!

  • M.E. Rose commented  ·   ·  Report

    Where is my complete list of contacts???? Several have been "lost" in this horrible new version of yahoo email. If you cannot update the system for the better - then DON'T MESS WITH IT. Give everyone the option of "going back" to the older version - this new one is just awful and it a step BACK - not forward. SHAME on yahoo for making email more difficult!!!

    If people wanted to use a cheap Google imitation they would have already switched to Google. Are you guys trying to make your users jump ship? We all stayed with Yahoo all of these years for a reason and it was because it WASN'T LIKE GOOGLE here. Your priority folder is a total shot in the dark at prioritizing people's emails. It just does not work and I don't want a priority folder or automatic sorting at all! You guys are just making everyone miss all of their emails and have to spend more time clicking around. Is that the point? To generate more traffic through clicks? Do you guys use a test audience to screen these updates before forcing them upon your core users? I don't get how this decision came to pass, especially the fact that you can't default to the ALL inbox as the main inbox still. Just how? Please revert back to the classic version! Thank you.

    I think the most ridiculous thing of all with this new update is that you can't view all the email metadata(sender's email address, recipient's email address, EMAIL TIMESTAMPS) all at once. What the heck is the point of the email then? I have to print/convert the whole page to a pdf to see the most essential information, or I can waste my time and hover over each individual element one by one. I guess simple email screenshots are obsolete here at Yahoo.

    In the current version I have to switch to basic mail to draft a message, then revert back to the junky new version to add attachments THEN switch back to basic mail again to make sure everything looks alright. This is such a waste of time.

    The awful Gmail idiosyncrasies- like hiding signatures and sign offs if they are too similar to previously used ones, therefore making users occasionally miss crucial information and/or cutting people's messages short without them asking for it are unacceptable. That's the only reason I haven't completely stopped using Yahoo.

    why wasn't there a "Return to Classic Yahoo" option available? Yahoos choices were either black or white and both are ******* the eyes. Where's the shades of grey option and choice of different colors? Yahoo doesNOT know my preferences and to NOT give me the options is very Microsoft of you.

    selecting go back to basic mail does not go back to classic yahoo mail. Only a portion of the unread mail is displayed and the rest cut off. cannot find. the action button does not work. The select and move function does not work so mail is stuck there and other mail unread cannot be read. it really need to be fixed so people can read their email in basic or classic email format.

  • Duane B commented  ·   ·  Report

    I DO NOT LIKE sites that decide just what I "want" to see or how to change the format to use them. I WANT THAT CHOICE MYSELF! Just like openweb with its ultra puritanical censorship of words NOT being used in an offensive way yet trying to appeal the "decision", made by an obviously substandard AI program, that the AI takes out of context. Your "decisions are fast making me want to find a new provider.

  • Richard Ackley commented  ·   ·  Report

    This new format absolutely STINKS. PLEASE, PLEASE go back to the good old original format, PLEASE.

    The new email is awful in that read messages are highlighted grey, it was much better when the message was bold or not bold.

    I might cope with that. but when I switch between my several accounts, not all of them show up. I have to exit then come back in and try again.

    I might cope with that, but when I switch to the basic email, it has no option for me to switch email accounts. I have to go to the new mail and switch there, but not all my accounts show u, I have to mess with it to get the account I want.

    So, knowing Microsoft software is awful, I decided to try Outlook which I have had on my PC for ages. I was surprised. All my yahoo email accounts came over seamlessly, the desktop is clean and that awful grey highlighting is not there, and I can easily switch accounts.

    Message to yahoo, do not fix things that are not broken, do not remove options in the basic email system which was never broken.

    How about soliciting user views?

    Please go back to classic view on Yahoo mail. I can't live with the new version and will have to leave Yahoo.

  • Mary Diane Holmqvist commented  ·   ·  Report

    Do not like this grayed in content, cannot find what I want.

    Please let me go back to classic

  • Emma Bell commented  ·   ·  Report

    I switched to gmail and you can get it to look roughly like the old yahoo verison by picking the mahoganey theme (it is deep purple like the old Yahoo) and picking compact view. I am now a gmail person for the first time in my life lol. But I am having trouble putting my yahoo email on the gmail account probably because they are upset about this

  • Alton Hall commented  ·   ·  Report

    I really don't like the new user interface. Gmail is looking good now.

  • Me I commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don't like new email. Goes to Priority mail and I didn't realize I missed over half my emails. New setup doesn't show video display of you tube like old one. I like to see what I sent, now it is only characters. i like old one
