  1. I want old Yahoo

    I've been using Yahoo mail for decades (yes, really). In all this time I've steadfastly refused any of the "new" versions because they've all sucked, changing for the sake of change far more often than improving usability by any metric. This time you've completely removed the old, reliable interface and given me only the choice between your latest "new" version which completely sucks, or a slightly older "new" version which sucks slightly less and which I rejected in the past.

    GIVE ME BACK OLD YAHOO, DAMMIT

  3. new interface does not suit my style - please restore option for basic mail /b/

    please make going back to the basic interface an option. I tried the new one years ago but went back using the /b/ option in the URL. Now you've forced the "new desktop" on me, and I have tried it - I still don't like it because it does not suit my style of working. I have tried your interface a few times over the years when providing support to other people using your interface.
    /B/ (basic) allowed me to do the following:
    1) - select emails without the list autoupdating.. each autoupdate clears ticked boxes/ radio selected emails which…

  6. Allow Move to InBox / change location of e-mail drop-down list

    Move the drop-down list of e-mail account to the top of the screen like in the mobile app.

    Allow to move mails from a folder back to InBox. This always worked nicely for the last 20+ years!!

  8. Garbage

    So you're trying to get people to PAY for the OLD version of Yahoo Mail because clearly it is superior than this new ****.
    Get rid of the "ALL" and "PRIMARY" tabs aka ways to miss messages.
    F this A.I. garbage of deciding which mail I want to see.

  15. Multiple Mailboxes

    List all your mailboxes under your main mailbox like it was in the old Yahoo. Now you have to go to the bottom of the screen and click for additional mailboxes and it would be nice to see them all at one glance.

  17. You can improve the New Yahoo Mail by allowing me to use the old, basic Yahoo mail

    I cannot use this new Yahoo mail, and I will be switching everything over to some other email carrier if you don't allow me to see my email in PAGES. I cannot work with one long page of endlessly scrolling. It is not how I organize my email, nor my thoughts.

  20. Yahoo Mail Folders

    The new yahoo mail does not have folders constantly visible. This makes yahoo mail practically useless.
