Everyday that I use the new Yahoo Mail I get more frustrated. It's like going through a maze to try and figure out how to use it. I have been using Yahoo Mail since 1998 and this is the worst upgrade. Give us a choice. Forcing this on everyone is not useful for users like me. Yahoo Classic Mail was simple. Keep it simple. Just because it is new and shiny does not make it better.

My original email account (about 34 years ago) I set up with Yahoo. To this day I've used it for all my bills and correspondence. Over the years they changed their look, but I could always default back to the original. I guess I won't be able to do that any longer.
Well, I had to set up a google mail account a few years back (for YouTube etc.).
Now that Yahoo has changed their format once again, but not let me keep the old one (and been encroaching on my screen space with more and more ads over the years)...I am done with Yahoo for my primary email.
Gmail has a better spam filter and doesn't limit your view with Ads on your screen.

I am so freaking done with Yahoo trying to squeeze my screen and wallet (trying to sell me something).
Yahoo...your actions have consequences!

I HATE IT. PLEASE SET MY INBOX/ACCOUNT BACK TO YAHOO CLASSIC

bring back Basic/Classic Mail

I have been using Yahoo Mail for more than 20 years, and I am extremely disappointed with the new desktop design.

The new interface is uncomfortable, cluttered, and frustrating to use. It disrupts my familiar workflow and makes everyday email tasks much less pleasant. A modern design should make life easier for users, not create unnecessary stress and irritation.

I am particularly disappointed that there is no option to return to the classic layout. Long-time users should be given a choice rather than being forced to adapt to a design that does not meet their needs.

Good interface design requires more than an attractive appearance. Usability, clarity, intuitive navigation, and the psychological impact on users are equally important. I honestly question whether the needs and real-life experience of long-time users were adequately considered during the development of this new interface.

Please consider bringing back the classic Yahoo Mail layout as an optional setting. At the very least, give users the freedom to choose between the classic and the new design.

After more than 20 years of loyalty to Yahoo Mail, I would like to feel that my experience and feedback as a user matter.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

You have lost all the folders and files

To the Yahoo Mail Product Team,
I am writing to express my extreme frustration with the recent interface updates. The new layout has completely broken my workflow and is practically unusable.
Specifically, forcing users to click through popup links or switchers just to see multiple connected email accounts is a massive step backward. I need to be able to see all of my inboxes listed simultaneously on the left sidebar at all times, with clear unread message counts, without extra clicks. Furthermore, the new system makes it incredibly tedious to filter, select, and bulk-delete unread messages quickly.
Even worse, your system is actively blocking users from switching to Basic Mail, forcing us into a modern setup that doesn't work for power users.
Please stop forcing these broken updates on your users. Return the option to use the previous, classic view so we can actually manage our mail efficiently. If these layout restrictions remain, I will have no choice but to migrate my email management entirely to a third-party application.
Sincerely,
Olga Martinello

Stop changing and "improving" the looks and interface, it sucks big time! So bad that I am thinking to close all accounts and switch to gmail for good.
Inbox shoud be clean and plain , as it was, new designs and fancy fonds are pure distraction.
Seriously it sucks!

Can't believe that there is no option to "go back", yet there was no warning that by trying the new UI I would be committing to it. That is plain stupid and a ****** experience. My name on sent emails is now showing as some other name, but I've checked ALL my settings for my name and outgoing mail and it all appears correctly. So wanted to go back and see if it displays correctly in the prevous version.

You always have to change thing around once a person gets used to it. The old mail was simple and easy to read. This new Mail is designed for a middle schooler with lots of colors and "cool'' (UGH!) logos. Why don't you include flashing lights as well. I hate it and I hate YOU! I am definitely thinking about transferring to Google or wherever I can get simple businesslike mail service.

I think it is BS that you made us switch to "New Yahoo Mail" without the option to keep our existing mail plan!! I don't want or like the New Mail. I am going to switch to gmail.

absolutely hate the new format, I've avoided it after trying out when you first rolled it out. The fact that you forced it on me is very annoying. I dislike it so much that after all these years I really will probably change my primary email to anything else but this mess.

Don't like the new interface. Everything is too cluttered. Please bring the classic or basic interface back. Thanks.

Please allow users to continue using the legacy interface. The legacy look/feel separated emails by day (over the last week), allowed a more compact view, and generally as easier to see what is new, what is old, and what needs attention. The new interface is just painful to look at.

Can we have the classic view back please? This new format look sucks

The new Yahoo Mail is ugly and not at all user-friendly; please let me go back to the old version.

We as the users should not be forced to switch to "new yahoo mail" unless we want to. Switching automatically today happened at the worst possible moment, just as I was finishing important e-mail.
The last thing I want right now is to waste time figuring out how the new version works. That is one of the main reasons why I stayed with yahoo mail. Without it, I might as well switch completely to a different domain.
I would urge you to leave the option of switching back to old/classic version of mail.

ALLOW GO BACK TO OLD YAHOO EMAIL VERSION. YAHOO EMAIL NEW VERSION SUCKS!!!!!!

1. I ABSOLUTLEY HATE THE NEW VERSIONS OF YAHOO MAIL!!!!!!
2. I DO NOT WANT EXTRA **** ON MY EMAIL SITE, I JUST WANT EASY ACCESS TO MY EMAILS AND BE ABLE TO SAVE DOCS. ETC FOR SECURITY!!!!!!
3. I DO NOT NEED COMPLICATED UNREQUESTED GARBAGE LITTERING MY MAILBOX!!!!!!
4. IF IT AINT BROKE DON'T FIX IT!!!!!!!!!
5 JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN CHANGE SOMETHING IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO, IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU THE SMARTEST KID ON THE BLOCK!!!!!!

I am beyond frustrated and extremely disappointed with Yahoo's decision to FORCE longtime users into this ridiculous new email layout without giving us the option to return to the previous version.

**FIRST AND FOREMOST — PUT OUR EMAIL ACCOUNTS BACK AT THE TOP OF THE LEFT SIDEBAR WHERE THEY BELONG!**

I manage SIX email accounts. For years, I could see them clearly at the top left of my screen, easily switch between them, and manage everything efficiently. Now Yahoo has shoved them into a tiny popup at the very bottom of the screen. WHY? Who thought hiding something as important as our email accounts was an improvement?

These accounts should be FRONT AND CENTER, not buried behind unnecessary clicks!

And let's address Yahoo's statement: "We really hope you'll try the new experience."

**TRY IT? HOW EXACTLY IS IT A TRIAL WHEN YOU FORCE IT ON US AND REFUSE TO LET US GO BACK?**

A trial means having a CHOICE. We were given NO choice whatsoever!

My previous Yahoo Mail layout was working perfectly just minutes before this unwanted redesign appeared. I did not request it, approve it, or want it.

Instead of improving practical functionality, Yahoo has introduced unnecessary clutter, hidden essential features, and even added a ridiculous streak counter. Seriously? We need efficient email management, not childish gimmicks!

Longtime customers should not be forced to completely relearn a service that was already working perfectly for them.

**MY REQUESTS ARE SIMPLE:**

1. Restore the option to use Classic Yahoo Mail.
2. Put ALL connected email accounts back at the TOP of the left sidebar, clearly visible and accessible without a popup.
3. Stop forcing interface changes without giving users the ability to opt out.
4. Prioritize functionality and efficiency over unnecessary cosmetic changes.

Yahoo needs to stop telling customers to "try" something when there is absolutely no choice involved.

**GIVE YOUR USERS BACK CONTROL OF THEIR OWN EMAIL EXPERIENCE. WHAT YOU CALL AN UPGRADE, I CALL A DOWNGRADE!**

Please listen to the people who actually use your service every day.
