    Here's an idea for you. Open up a websearch (your choice) and type in "New Yahoo mail interface is great" then try "New Yahoo mail interface is terrible". That will tell you everything you need to know about the New Yahoo Mail. The new interface is terrible. Bring back the Yahoo Basic Mail.

    Give us back the basic mail interface. This new interface is hot garbage. It gives no real benefits for PC users and strips useful features that basic had.

    In basic I could open several emails in new tabs (using mousewheel clicks) and reference them while working and composing email. Now with the new interface you cannot do that. The "multi tasking tabs" feature is not sufficient. The only real solution is to open a new browser tab of the inbox for each email I need to reference and navigate to that email. This is sub-optimal.

    The icons next to the sender names are really distracting. They are not consistent even from the same sender. It's very apparent when you sort by sender. Some icons are a company logo, some are just initials in a colored circle but the color of the circles are not even consistent. It's garbage. I can read. I'm not an infant. I don't need nor want pictures to identify the sender.

    And what's up with the "achievements" who the **** is this for? If I wanted "achievements" I would fire up the xbox or go on STEAM. Seriously this is email not Fortnite or Call of Duty.

    There are more things I don't like about the new interface but these are some of the big ones. It's almost as if whomever greenlighted theses changes doesn't actually use it or they are so simpleminded that they are content with pictures and achievements.

    You're probably saying to yourself "this is a lot of complaining with no ideas or fixes" but if you think hard you will see what the idea/fix is. Give us back the option to use the basic mail interface. It was perfect. It was fast, intuitive, easy to use, looked cleaner, there was nothing wrong with it.
