  3. More respect to the customers - less space for ads

    Remove ads from my mail - because I am paying, it's not a free version. So why I see ads at all??? And the ads take almost half of the right side of my screen. Please, do something about it. What's the point of paying and geting the ads?

  7. Terrible new yahoo mail and the old classic is completely unusable

    All of the above, please bring back the old classic version, it has been working so well for so long, the new yahoo is unbearable, and I was pleased to see I could at least go back to the classic old version, but now that looks tiny, you can’t hit the delete without hitting unread or just highlighting the email. This is frustrating and so time consuming to delete five emails and yesterday 35 emails, completely has lost the ability of efficiency. so much negative reviews all stating the same issues. The three options for the different views are all…

  8. Stop forcing unwanted changes on users. This is NOT improvement

    Found myself unvoluntarily in a horrible „new“ email layout/version. Just leave as is!!! How hard can that be? Nobody was asking for „improvements“. It worked just fine. Now in the „old version“ the preview window to the right is gone, and the new version wastes space with their left hand navigation, and everything is way too small to comfortably navigate. This is NOT a positive change, and I refuse to do the „designer“‘s work by pointing out details. Maybe it’ll help if the ones responsible would be fired and everything rolled back.

  10. Have the option to go back to the old mail

    You can no longer even see the whole page for your email. It shows half the email and you can’t look at the entire message at one time. It’s ridiculous. This new email is horrible.

  12. Go back to the old email!!!!!

    You keep changing the email and it is a major aggravation. It seems to be every 4 months you release a new version. It is a major upset. Human beings don’t like change. All these fancy things are mostly annoyances. Please st It. Your new version is slow and full of bugs. If I could I would go elsewhere. This version is way too busy, it’s difficult to differentiate the emails. It used to be every other line was a different color. THAT WAS GOOD. Now the little box can’t be checked to delete something. THIS IS BAAAAD. JUST GO…

  13. Change it back.

    I think it looks like a mess. Cannot enlarge font. Deleting a message takes several tries, it’s not very responsive. I don’t feel like it is as user friendly like the old was. Why change when the other was fine??

  18. preview

    I hate your new version. It s hard to read our mail from the mailbox. it zooms in the mail and I see like a square of if and I need to go left and right and left and right to be able to read the line... and so one. I ve done my best to not have the new version. I has been installed without my agreement and I deeply regret the previous version

  20. Incorrect replies from support about achievements

    Hi, I see several replies from the Yahoo team saying you can turn off Achievements by going into your mail Settings and Notifications. The only option in Notifications is for your Desktop Notifications, which I already have turned off, and the achievements and streaks still show up when using my inbox. I can send screen shots if you'd give me a way to do so. I believe the Yahoo mail team replies are assuming everyone is using the mobile app. How do we turn it off on the desktop browser app?
