I agree, all emails are lumped together where before it was clear what were new vs. old emails that you kept in your In-Box. Why are companies obsessed with change? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. We are not impressed with change when it makes things worse.

I echo all the comments here and am seeing userboards all over the internet about how much people hate this new update. If you want to change the look, fine, but bring back the functionality. Defaulting to an arbitrary "priority" designation that you picked (not us) makes no sense, I can't see how many unread emails I have (or even how many are in my inbox) and it takes me twice as many clicks to do anything. There is also a TON of wasted space around the actual listing or place to read my emails.
Not sure what prompted this update or what it's trying to solve, but everyone I've spoken to so far is really NOT pleased and are thinking about closing their email or abandoning it. If this continues I may be forced to do the same even though I don't want to do that (I think I've had this account for 20 years)

GO BACK TO THE OLD WAY> NEW WAY STINKS!!!!!!!

Totally agree and you can't even customize it WTF! I want to see ALL MY MAIL not just the priority where it keeps reverting back to. THIS SUCKS!

I agree with this post, NEW VERSION SUCKS!! RETURN OLD VERSION NOW!!!

New email suite is more resource intensive, lags more, constantly is nonresponsive and requires multiple refreshes even on different browsers. It looks awful with only two brands of painful colors to read instead of having any hues for the peripheral vision to relax against.

why would anyone with a brain think this **** is better than the old one, your delusional!!!!!

you jerks put it back this sucks, we will all leave

GIVE ME BACK MY OLD YAHOO MAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll start using gmail if you go with this new format.

this new version sucks I like the classic version better

Hate this!!! Frustrating!!! Go back to the classic!!!! At least allow us to have the choice!!! Why change something that was perfect!! If you don't allow us to go back. I may have to leave yahoo.

After 25 or so years of using Yahoo if its not changed back to the classic I'll just go somewhere else. What is the **** point of changing to a new UI that looks infinitely worse than what has worked great for decades.

This new version is HORRIBLE. So clunky. The Compact view is NOT compact. And why take away the option to revert to the classic look and **** people off? What were you thinking? Yahoo doesn't have to be a gmail wannabe. Be yahoo. Bring back the old look. The new look is lame and nonsensical!

Adding my immense frustration onto this mountain... There was NOTHING wrong with the older look. This new look is infinitely less easy & convenient on the eyes.

I have been happily using Yahoo Mail for DECADES. This new look COMPLETELY RUINS it for me... Please add back an option to stay on the previous UI!!!

this is horrible. I can't believe I'm about to dump yahoo after 25 years.

Sad and disappointed :( Sorry to be blunt but this new design is really irksome just on a basic level.

Can’t they at least allow for the option to use the previous version? Why would we even want that? Because it was a pleasure to use, clear and well laid out and highly usable.. The software equivalent of Da Vinci’s 'The Mona Lisa'. That’s not hyperbole.

I’m not sure who was the project supervisor of this new layout, but if that person were made the director of ‘LOTR Return of the King’ I guarantee they’d have changed the final scene and had Frodo putting the ring back into his pocket and ushering IN THE ULTIMATE DOOM FOR MIDDLE EARTH – A CATASTROPHY FAR BEYOND WHAT SAURON HISSELF COULD HAVE EVER CONCEIVED.

HE TOOK MY OLD UI ! HE TOOK MY PRIDE !
GMAIL HAS ITS OLD UI ! GMAIL HAS ITS PRIDE ! –nic cage, moonstruck

nothing wrong with the classic way

It's amazing how you can pay for a service only to be forced into a new "look" that is absolutely not user friendly and just the same as using Google mail. I will be switching to another service if this is not fixed.
