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.

1st ranked

    Stop prioritizing my mail for me
    put junk and trash back to top so I can search for misclassified email, especially accidentally deleted
    blurry small text is questionable, screen real estate is not good on browser
    move to inbox, is critical for organizing
    driving through search is not helpful if you can't jog your memory
    AI summary is annoying.

    This new version is HORRIBLE. It is incredibly difficult to work through. There is some comfort in so many users feeling the same way. Shame on yahoo to ignore us.

    Top ranked idea is GO BACK. Is anyone actually listening? I have a new platform set up and ready to go, but it is a huge hassle to change, so I'm holding out for a bit. But, I'm superbly unimpressed and annoyed with this version and no ability to choose.

    Well I guess after 20 years, finally going to GMAIL.

    This new look suck big time. Please have option to go back to classic email version. I now trying to find other options and forward my yahoo mail to other email app. New email version is suck suck and suck.

  • Nathan Elliott commented  ·   ·  Report

    Everyday this is ******* me off more and more. I need to be able to work. Now when I switch through my accounts it a nightmare and puts me on the news. I HATE THIS.

  • Israel Espinoza commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed. This version is horrible and hard to see. Might have to move to a different email or something else

    You know, Yahoo the management don't REALLY care that users don't like this change.

    They figure the times are changing, everything is migrating to mobile so they adapt a phone look of the website while cleaning the space for twice as many ads, and that's that.

    Yes they do monitor what did folk moan most about thanks to you all voting and commenting here, but they also do have cold hard facts about what percentage of overall users really used which function they are now so vigorously protesting they lost.

    One example is the currently 7th ranked "idea" titled "Colors/Themes" on which Yahoo Mail Team replied 1 month back that "Yes, we have simplified our themes. We have no plans at this time in adding more themes/colors/backgrounds. We had a whole bunch, but a majority of our users stuck with the default color. The usage was too low and the upkeep was too much." So, that's one example of their approach because if you are a desktop user who is 25+ years with Yahoo and suddenly hear in year 2025 that having colors is too much upkeep it's like HILARIOUS. To think this is what you get after the years of development, who would have guessed this 25 years ago? LOL But if you are person who is 20 and does not know better and does not even own desktop computer then you are the future, right? Old users will die out.

    So yeah, there might be 5000+ comments clamoring to revert this change

    - by the way, if you create a "new idea" under "Yahoo New Mail" which is a bit more militant, they delete it and instead, your post will appear among comments HERE, so that also increases the number -

    but they won't budge. Even if they do, in couple years yet more new management can come and change the mail YET AGAIN. Young mobile users won't know any better, and the old desktop ones? Did you notice how the blank, BASIC look of the "new" mail reminds of the Yahoo Basic Mail? Do you remember it? It's still hidden there. Which gave me the idea to turn it on to see whether THAT won't after all be better. If you go on the three dots on the left pane, it unhides "Settings", and there in the settings, look on the left, eventually you'll find "Swith to basic Mail" which will turn your mail into simplified, washed out looking page stripped of most of the graphic, with just purple header the rest stark white, primitive buttons and functions - but at least you do have the basic ones now missing, and at least it's not gray with gmail rounded edges - which is like from years back. But I decided you know what? Better stick with it, because if you make yourself used to this again, then every now and then a new kid that comes to Yahoo management and decides yet another crazy redesign of Yahoo mail, you will be spared. It won't touch YOU.

    So yeah, I won't scream here that I am leaving to Gmail or AOL, that is ridiculous that won't be any improvement FOR ME, why should I change my email address I have for quarter a century? This "Idea" is called "GO BACK TO THE CLASSIC VERSION", which is actually not correct, because by that people probably mean the previous form of the "Standard Version of Yahoo mail". The Standard Version has changed before and it's possible that it will keep changing with each new management. I switched to "Yahoo basic Mail", to avoid the current disastrous Standard Version, and more importantly, to be in peace in the future. I am tired with all the experiments.

    Please offer a classic view, the current view is so difficult for my eyes. Too much color.

  • Marlo Marshall commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please let us go to Classic version - this is ridiculous to view and use.

  • Ytzhack Heber commented  ·   ·  Report

    This version is not good. I lost emails while writing them. Typing is strange. Please return to previous version. If no, I'll close this account.

  • Edythe Crump commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please GO BACK! If not, I will have to close this account within the next month. This version is a nightmare! It has caused me to waste hours and hours of my valuable time!
    In addition, the emails of my most importamt contact (Club Express) go into SPAM despite my marking them as "not spam."

  • Bettyna Lahens commented  ·   ·  Report

    I barely can read my mail with the new version... it so difficult to see...it looks so busy and confusing ... this is the worst thing to have happened with yahoo... now I have to switch everything i have to google just to be able to go through my email easier....
