  1. Please give us a chance to go back to the old yahoo, or at least recover our notes in the notepad

    The new Yahoo! Mail is horrible. I can't find my notes, the Help feature tells me to go to a place that does not exist, and I can't go back to the old Yahoo, not even to find my notes where they used to be. I understand the Notepad is going away, but removing it or making it impossible to retrieve is horrible! I absolutely HATE it! How about let us choose between the new and the old, at least until the Notepad is phased out? And now I need to sign in before posting. Yahoo is making things hard,…

    Hi Denise, if you are seeing the new layout, Notepad will be in the your top, right hand side. Next to Starred and Contacts, and above the ad. Just click on More and you'll see Notepad. Please see screenshot!

  2. What is the deal with streaks and points?

    Are the points collected for a reason, or is it just hype with no purpose?

    Hi Scott, thanks for asking! For now, it's for fun. A fun way to get rewarded for checking and organizing your emails on a daily basis. BUT soon we'll be planning to do more and make strong, more tangible incentives. So stay tuned! It's definitely been successful with our Mail Community!


  3. Mail settings

    I have a lot of folders and have to scroll down below them to find the MORE link to get to email settings. Since I use it rarely, I forget where it is and have to search all over the screen looking for it. Move MORE to the top of the screen as one of the links already there like y!mail+, HOME, or account avatar.

    Hi Richard, thanks for the feedback! We currently have no plans in moving Settings or More to a different location. These options were placed near the bottom because they were hardly if ever used in the old version. Sorry about that!

  4. Let me open notes from mail

    Where is the button/link to open notes (and calendar) in the new UI?
    At least for a Swede they are gone.

    How do you print your note ?

    I must say I HATE this new format and from the looks of the comments I'm not alone !! Why do you always have to "make things better?" when it's not !
