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'm a senior citizen and I can't figure out this new Yahoo version. I hate it. Please let me go back to the basic Yahoo again!

    the color theme is bad enough that i can't see which messages i have read and which are new, i can barely read the title of the message, and the new e-mail format is bad.

    The former Classic Email is intuitive, clean and easy to use. Emails can be marked unread with a single click of the mouse and starred/marked priority directly to the left of the subject. All folders are visible on the left side. It’s easy to distinguish current day emails from the previous day/week/month. Functions listed across the top use words, not icons so it’s easy to find the needed function and the functions are always in the same order. It’s visually pleasing without clutter. It is so efficient it’s hard to understand why it has changed in such a drastic way.

    The new email is cumbersome and cluttered. The right-side pane is useless and takes up space that could be used to see longer previews. Functions (like marking an email unread) require two clicks of the mouse instead of one, using the upper bar instead of a dot next to the email. The functions above emails (move, delete, spam, etc.) are arranged in one order when emails are closed, but the order changes when viewing an email, which is confusing. Functions are icons instead of words (move, delete, spam) so with every move the user must stop to process what each icon means. Folders on the left aren’t displayed and require multiple clicks to access. It’s not as visually clean and there is no separation of current emails from previous emails. It requires so much thinking to do what needs to be done, it quite inefficient compared to Classic Email.

    They FINALLY listened and gives you the option to go back to classic yahoo mail. Under settings.
    SOO happy as I had left yahoo and forwarded all mail to Gmail account.

    GMail is looking better and better compared to this

    I was able to switch back to the old version after seeing some comments here that they were able to! The option was there! Soothing green instead of obnoxious purple! Mail sorted by day so I can see when everything arrived! No stupid previews! The tab button works again and doesn't try to send an email before it's finished!! Thank you thank you thank you!

    If Yahoo has to make so many changes to the new version just to make it anywhere near tolerable, then just admit to a mistake and go back to the previous version!
    The inbox message are spaced too far apart and difficult to read.
    ALL folders should be listed as before.
    Come on, Yahoo

    Hate the new redesign. I have had yahoo email for like 20 years and think I will be leaving. I am missing emails, hate the automatic filing or indexing feature, find the new layout unattractive. Just want to be able to opt out of it and leave the classic version.

  • grey 1 commented  ·   ·  Report

    This version is just as bad as the Focused inbox in Outlook. I don't know who thought this was a good idea. But I hate it.

    I DO NOT WANT YAHOO SORTING MY EMAIL BY WHAT THEY THINK IS IMORTANT. JUST SHOW ME EVERYTHING AND I WILL FIGURE IT OUT.

  • Vince Joseph commented  ·   ·  Report

    THANK GOD. I went into my settings and for the first time, there's the option to switch to the Old Version. WHAT A RELIEF to finally see that! I was able to switch back to the simple, streamlined format so many of us love.

    THANK YOU Yahoo for finally listening to your subscribers. Let's hope the option to remain with Classic Mail is permanent.

    I don't like the new version of the desk top Yahoo . This is so confusion , please switch back to the previous version !

  • K&D Perdue commented  ·   ·  Report

    I REALLY hate this new version. It defaults to and assumes my priority emails, couldn't find folders (trash, draft), I can't determine which emails are read and not or differentiate from ads (which I keep trying to delete and then end up on their site). And it looks childish. The classic version was SOOOOOOOO much more convenient and user friendly. Bring the classic back!!!

  • Mad Dog53 commented  ·   ·  Report

    This new version is garbage. Usually, upgrades are just that, this is a complete downgrade. AWFUL

  • B Turner commented  ·   ·  Report

    I want to thank the leaders of Yahoo for returning me back to the original Yahoo email. I can't thank you enough for this decision!

  • Carolyn Solseth commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am considering moving to google mail due to the horrible horrible new version.

  • William Frazier commented  ·   ·  Report

    I want classic back but it will not let me do it, checked Google and no help
