Go back to the old format.
This new layout is terrible. It may look sleek but functionaly I don't like it. Why can't we use the old layout. Give us a choice.
I have been with yahoo mail for more than 30 years. I thinking if going to gmail.

HI Amanda, thanks for letting us know. Yes, we have been seeing this quite a bit and we have been sharing with our team. We will merge this thread with another one and keep updating there. Thanks again!

In this version, if you scroll down the emails and delete and email, you are brought back up to the top of the email list. That is very anoying. It would be better if the email deletes and you stay in the same place.

In the old Yahoo, we could size a picture or photo by clicking on an option in the upper right corner. Why has that feature been lost?? Please return it to us. I want to be able to make the picture smaller than the original version. Thanks.

The prior email version allowed us to reduce the size of the image or item we pasted into an email. That ability has not been restored and it is essential for easy-to-read messages if you have to include a lot of images or charts or.....

Scrolling my email up and down is an atrocious action. It is not smooth and completely glitches. While focused on one email as a reference point, so I know how far down I'm scrolling, the emails jump back, and it's NOT SMOOTH! It is a huge headache to even navigate. Why can we not go back to the legacy version, which didn't have this issue??? This version is literally the worst version of Yahoo mail.

When I it the trash can to delete, the All inbox goes back to the top of the list, not to the next item. This is terribly frustrating.

"Email this list" doesn't work.
Also, when I scroll down in my Inbox, it spontaneously jumps to the top. And when I scroll up in my Inbox, it spontaneously jumps down. It is maddening. Why does this happen? Has anyone else seen this?
Thank you.

With the update, whenever you scroll down to open an email that is not at the top of the box and delete it. You are automatically taken to the top of the inbox. It used to stay where you were.

Why can't I select a default to display emails in chronological order? Oldest first as a default. Doesn't seem that hard.
Also when I delete an email the email list on the left side jumps to the top. Why doesn't it keep the prior placement so I can see the next emails that are sorted.
not happy with the update.

When I read or delete an email from my Inbox please return me to where I left off . Your making me remember the time or subject of the emails so I can return to where I left off. Not good time management. Making me work harder not smarter .. Thank you... .

Why does the New Yahoo Mail randomly decide to scroll back to the newest message. I have to scroll back to where I left off and it is very wasteful in time and the colors don't help. Now the mailbox is becoming unmanageable because of this "glitch" of starting from the beginning without warning nor rhyme or reason. Please don't auto-scroll or jump back to the newest message for no reason.

When composing an e-mail message, I like to start with the recipient's name, hit return, then indent the first line of the message. In the old (preferred) email interface, the tab key would indent perfectly. In the new interface the tab key takes me out of the message entirely. Please allow "normal" text editing capabilities when creating a message

Scrolling is seriously broken. The designers didn't think very clearly when they considered how to do snap back - or return to where you were. The screen randomly snaps back.
The simple version - if you read or do an action on an email that is off screen - down below the top of the list (say email 50 down from number 1), as you start to scroll, the system tries to snap back to that highlighted or selected email. It doesn't do this at some action or certain moment - it does this at random times.
That's why it "looks" like there are missing emails - the screen snaps down 50 emails. The only workaround is to use the up arrow key to move the highlighted or selected email to number 1, or one on the full screen of emails.
This happens when I try to delete emails when I check them. I'll go down my list of emails in the inbox, and see emails I don't need to read, I just want to delete them. I might go down 30 or 40 emails with 10 or so checked along the way. When I hit the trash button, the email just below the very last one I checked now becomes the highlighted or selected email.
Now when I scroll, the system tries to snap down to that email. It shouldn't do this. It only happens during scrolling. If I read the top email then come back to the list, the screen sits at the top, until I try to scroll down even one email - then it tries to snap to that selected email.
The system never did this before.

When cleaning up the inbox, it's frustrating to have to keep scrolling back down to continue cleanup because the inbox is repositioned to the top after every delete.

When an email is deleted from the inbox, please retain the position/location of the inbox, rather than jumping to the top of the inbox after every delete.

I concur with the previous commenters. For me, this is one of the most frustrating aspects of new mail.

The mail app should never lose the user's place or context during normal use. If a user is scrolling through their inbox and takes an action—like replying, forwarding, or reading an email—they should be returned to the exact same spot afterward, not sent back to the top of the inbox.
This issue appears in several places throughout the app, and in some cases, it's intermittent. Here are a few examples:
Example 1: Scrolling Bug
If you scroll down through a long list of emails (e.g., to read messages from last week) and then try to scroll back up slowly, the view suddenly jumps to the top of the inbox. This makes it nearly impossible to scroll up just a few rows at a time. This behavior happens inconsistently but frequently enough to be frustrating.Example 2: Action Context Loss
When replying to or forwarding an email (or even canceling a forward), the app should return the user to the exact same spot in the inbox, not to the top. Many users manage multiple emails in sequence, and losing their place makes this very inefficient.Example 3: Reading Sequential Emails
If you start reading older emails and use the down arrow to move through them one by one, clicking the "X" from inside the email should return to the same spot but it jumps you back to the top instead of where you left off. This breaks the flow and forces users to scroll again to find their place.These behaviors disrupt the user experience and should be addressed. Please test these scenarios across popular browsers (Safari, Chrome, Edge, Arc, etc.) to ensure consistent behavior.
Thanks for your attention to this—it would make a big difference in usability.
