Optimize Mail by updating that older Toolbar

Recently there was some chatter over in the Y-Mail Group about some messaging that urges users to update their Toolbar to make Mail faster. I’m guessing that some of you folks may have seen the message too, so it’s probably worth commenting on here as well.

First and foremost, this does not mean that you have to have Yahoo! Toolbar in order to use Yahoo! Mail. Nor does it mean that we are only giving faster service for people using Toolbar.

What it does mean is that the Toolbar team has been working hard to streamline how the Toolbar works. And if you aren’t using the leaner, meaner, version you may not be enjoying the best experience possible with Mail.

Now you should only be seeing the message if you are ALREADY using Toolbar, but are using an older version. If you aren’t already a Toolbar user, but are seeing this message anyway, let me know so I can find out why and get that fixed.

    The old tool bar was far more efficient and easier for me to navigate. The new one cuts off my emails on the right margin and requires far more clicking just to view, delete, etc. Please offer the option to return to the old way.

    Phew, glad I read this lot first.
    As Mark said earlier;
    “just push the “Mail Classic” button in the top left corner of the main mail screen. Duh!”
    Which I had already done once I’d had a quick look at the `new` version.
    Unless you have a top end beastie then the more clutter on your screen the slower it all gets.
    Go to the “View>Toolbars” and untick everything except the ones you need. I just have Navigation and Bookmarks.

    I’ve been having trouble ever since I tried to download the new Y email. Many times it won”t open and I have to get off the internet and get back on for anything to work. Since it has been going on for so long, I am going to a different email service. Too bad, I’ve had Yahoo from the beginning of my computer experience. Besides it is a pain to change my address. How come you can’t fix it or listen to all these complaints?

  19. GEORGIA says:

    Keep making these absurd up-dates and soon 95% of your users will be at another e-mail/ home page. Then what will happen to your advertising revenues?

    Study the great success of Ford and GM and see where it got them. I DON’T update. The last time that I did, it took me two months to straighten out the mess.

    Some of us have lives to live and jobs to do. For us the computer is a tool to accomplish out tasks–NOT a toy to amuse us.

    I updated my toolbar, now I can not get my mail. The mail window will not open at all.

  32. Brant says:

    Alright all you dweebs who just say
    “I can’t read my mail please fix it for me”

    What the hell do you think Ryan can do for you? You’ve told him NOTHING about your problem. You’ve given him NO guidance to help you. What system are you running? What browser? What versions? What hardware? What type of connection? Do you even KNOW these answers? Do you know where to find those answers?

    Ryan’s made is clear multiple times that he’s NOT tech support, so quit treating him like he is. And even if he was, you’re making stupid requests.
