Go back to previous layout
everything looks the same and it is hard to distinguish between the emails. When I hit a check box the whole column moves and is extremely annoying.
This is the worst email experience that I have ever had.

Please give us the option to switch back to Classic (basic) email. The new setting is not very user friendly, we much prefer the old setting. Sorts emails better (date) and doesn't blend everything to make it look confusing.

This new yahoo email is terrible. The font size is way too big, can barely see the list of emails, the layout on a desktop screen is a really bad design. Light grey rollovers on a light grey background is almost invisible. On my 42 inch OLED screen, the yahoo email reading pane is inside a tiny rectangle less than 1/8th of my entire desktop screen and when I scroll down to actually read an email, the tiny rectangle gets even smaller with a large chunk at the top dedicated to a header image. Ive never seen such a poorly designed interface before.
Please give us an option to switch back to the classic yahoo email. It was not perfect, but it was way better than this mess. -

The newest theme / interface is awful. Please redo classic mode. No one cares about "mail streaks" or trying to gameify a utility like email. I want it to work and be easy to navigate. Everything about the new theme is bad and uncomfortable to look at.

Dear Yahoo Mail Development Team,
I am writing to express my disappointment with the new Yahoo Mail layout. As a longtime user, I find the new design significantly less user-friendly than the previous version.
My main concerns are:
Too much wasted space: Excessive spacing in email headers and around subject lines means I can see only about four emails in the message list at a time.
A narrow reading pane: The message body is squeezed into a small area, making it difficult to read comfortably.
Too much scrolling: The large email header pushes the actual message body down, so I have to scroll vertically just to begin reading. The narrow pane also makes reading more cumbersome.
Poor readability: Reducing browser zoom is not a reasonable solution for users who need larger text to read comfortably.
I have already tried adjusting the appearance settings, turning off inbox categories, and changing browser zoom. Unfortunately, none of these changes resolves the underlying layout problems.
I understand that Yahoo may want to modernize its interface, but a new design should improve the user experience, not make everyday tasks more difficult.
My request is simple: Please restore Classic Yahoo Mail as an optional layout, allowing users to choose the version that works best for them. If restoring the old version is not possible, please provide more control over message spacing, reading-pane width, email header size, and the number of messages displayed.
Users have different preferences and accessibility needs. We should not be forced to accept a less usable interface when the previous version worked well for us.
I hope your team will take this feedback seriously and consider giving users the freedom to choose a comfortable, practical email layout.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
A concerned Yahoo Mail user -

This version of Yahoo Mail is very clearly not ready for the public, as evidenced by Yahoo's own publicly posted to-do list. Even when this option of Yahoo Mail becomes as streamlined as advertised, there's no reason to deprive users the ability to revert back to the prior version or opt to use the Basic version instead.

I can't even read emails because the preview screen is blocking everything - this really, really sucks. It looks like Yahoo has FAILED again and will just be another tech company to go under. Tank goodness Yahoo Finance and Sports are keeping the company afloat. Get your act together Yahoo.

You have made far to many changes. I was holding back on signing up with google but this latest change of yahoo has pushed me over the edge. I highly suggest you allow a way to go back to the original version of yahoo I would stay. I will wait a short time to see your answer before I switch entirely over to google.

**Subject: Serious Complaint About the New Yahoo Mail Design — Please Bring Back Classic Mail ASAP**
I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with the new Yahoo Mail design. The layout is confusing, visually overwhelming, and much more difficult to navigate than Classic Yahoo Mail. What used to be a simple, familiar, and productive email experience has become stressful, exhausting, and unnecessarily complicated. Reading emails and locating information now takes more effort and concentration than it should. This design is not making my work easier; it is interfering with my ability to work efficiently, particularly during important business meetings.
My biggest concern is that I have experienced important information disappearing from my email drafts. I had to refresh the page, leave Yahoo Mail, return, and search for my information before I could find it. After saving the information again, I experienced the problem another time. This is unacceptable for an email service that people depend on for important personal and business communications. It is stressful, frustrating, and makes it difficult to trust that my work is being saved properly.
**PLEASE BRING BACK CLASSIC YAHOO MAIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!** Many longtime users have become accustomed to the original layout and should not be forced to struggle with a redesign that makes their daily work more difficult. At the very least, Yahoo should give customers the choice to use Classic Mail or the new design. Please take these complaints seriously, investigate the draft-saving problem, and provide a meaningful response. I have multiple Yahoo email addresses containing years of important personal information, and I do not want to abandon a service I have relied on for so long. However, this new experience is pushing me to consider doing exactly that. Your customers deserve an email service that is dependable, comfortable to use, and designed around their needs. I want Classic Yahoo Mail back—not months from now, but as soon as possible.

I don't like the layout of the new version of yahoo email. I want the old version which I have used for many years. There is no reason to change it for me. When you did upgrades in the past I was about to switch back to the older one but it isn't available anymore! Why not????!

For the people, like me, who preferred the way it looked before there should be an option to have it look the same as it was before.

Please allow your faithful Yahoo mail users to be able to go back to your basic email.
I just can't get used to the new appearance of the inbox. First of all it too difficult to quickly see what mail has been read already and which is new, unread. Secondly, it looks too much like Outlook which most people use at work. It just reminds me of work as opposed to our old Yahoo mail that reminds me of home.
I truly, truly wish you would allow us to continue to use your basic mail . . . it's like HOME!
There are many other reasons too why I don't really care for the new but these is the most crucial. -

I cannot fully express my hatred for the new format. Having my email categorized into "all" and "primary" is beyond frustrating. Just list my emails. Filtering out the spam is fine, but the 2 categories is TOO MUCH.
