November 2nd, 2007 at 8:01 am

I only want plain email please. thank you

November 2nd, 2007 at 8:05 am

I have the old one and I really like it.

November 2nd, 2007 at 8:08 am

I have the Original Classic. Would like to have the Updated Classic. How can I do this?

November 2nd, 2007 at 8:09 am

thank you

November 2nd, 2007 at 8:13 am

How do I get back to mail classic?? I don’t want the new version.

November 2nd, 2007 at 8:13 am

The problem, we buy new computers to cure the “bloat” of “heaver” web content… And what do you all do??? Add more “bloat”… We’ll never be able to run fast on the internet…

November 2nd, 2007 at 8:18 am

Anyone know the timeline for migrating from Original Classic to Updated Classic?

November 2nd, 2007 at 8:21 am

When I updated the new Yahoo it caused several problems so I went back to the classic version. I liked the beta and would like that back as the new one is not the same. How do I go about getting it back?

November 2nd, 2007 at 8:36 am

Hi everyone,
-
john and eenoogje,
You are welcome to stick with Classic :)
-
John and cdm9005,
We are rolling it out gradually (just like we did with New Mail a few months back). We are also being extra careful because the holiday season is approaching and we know that it is a critical time for people to communicate. I’ll update as soon as I can.
-
Michael,
You can switch back to Classic by clicking on the “Mail Classic” link just below your Yahoo! ID, or the “Switch to Yahoo! Mail Classic” link under the Options dropdown.
-
josths,
We understand that “bloat” is a concern for many web users, and are always looking for ways to streamline. The list of changes outlines several things that are going away as well as being added.

wuz up people Iam look for a new Friend who need a best Friend and Iam a Good Friend and Iam 17 year old

November 2nd, 2007 at 9:09 am

i like the original for the simple fact that all i really want and need is a place to receive emails.

November 2nd, 2007 at 9:13 am

Why can’t we have an avatar with the New Mail?

November 2nd, 2007 at 9:15 am

Please!!! How can I get back to the original e-mail? It takes me 20 minutes or more to see if I have any e-mail, and to send a brief reply.
Its awfull!!
Frank

November 2nd, 2007 at 9:16 am

Overall I do not mind the changes to the new mail. The only thing that bothers me about it is that I suddenly have a news page to go through to get to the actual mail. I go to mail via my Yahoo and do not want the extra page but cannot remove it. I would love an option to delete the extra page or make the mail page the default. Is there any way to do this? Thanks.

November 2nd, 2007 at 9:24 am

Y! Mail Classic in its updated form is a nice evolution of the original and will be satisfactory until a final decision concerning Y! mash is made. I like the layout, pulldown extensions and all, of the AJAX-based Y! Mail Beta; but other components, such as Y! Calendar and Y! Notepad, need to be rewritten for AJAX in order to blend seamlessly with the new Y! Mail.

November 2nd, 2007 at 9:37 am

I have the Original Classic. Less bloat.

November 2nd, 2007 at 9:37 am

I have tried the beta (twice) but was having troubles with it on my work laptop so I swtiched back to classic. I am happy with classic, it seems faster.

November 2nd, 2007 at 9:41 am

i have the classic mail and it’s great. i use the one that used to be beta for my business emaila nd don’t like that as much. but i would like to have updated classic

November 2nd, 2007 at 9:51 am

I sill use and like the old interface.

November 2nd, 2007 at 10:00 am

I too have tried the beta twice (at least), and like the layout and features. However, it is not nearly as fast. I’m sure it is due to the afformentioned “Bloat”. Each time I have gone back to the original mail to speed things up. Sorry, it’s a good idea, but for someone who just want a good clean, FAST, email program.

November 2nd, 2007 at 10:17 am

You have reduced the size of the mail window and made it slower. It is harder review my mail messages. I am back to classic mail. The features weren’t bad but the price is too high.

November 2nd, 2007 at 10:29 am

Now that you have made things a bit clearer, you still have neglected to tell your customers what they need to do to get upgraded!!!!! Are the old classic being upgraded automatically to the new classic? Communicate better please.

November 2nd, 2007 at 10:38 am

Yeah, I too only see Original Classic, not Updated Classic. I am fine with New Mail, but I was just curious.

November 2nd, 2007 at 10:44 am

They call things “classic” for a reason…simple, functional and always in style. I’ll stick with classic mail. Thanks.

November 2nd, 2007 at 10:44 am

Petra,
Push Options, putting you into General Options. The first option allows you to start with your Inbox rather than the cover page.

November 2nd, 2007 at 10:46 am

Idea for new Yahoo! business model: charge users a modest monthly fee ($1 per month) to use the OLD fast-loading, original classic mail interface, and leave the new and improved garbage to freeloaders that need marketing pushed at them.

November 2nd, 2007 at 10:48 am

for six days i have not been able to comunicate with any of my friends or relations please explain or at least inform me as to why my mail is not functioning the same way it was … i only use yahoo please correct the situtation
shachin
PS : old one is better

November 2nd, 2007 at 10:52 am

I give all the benefit of the doubt. I learn as I plot along, it gets easier as I use it more and in the mean time, I get more savvy as “progression” comes my way.

November 2nd, 2007 at 10:55 am

I absolultely LOVE the new or to be clear the ‘beta’ version. I love the layout and the upgrades. I liked the classic verion, and I have always used yahoo for my e-mail. But this version is perfect. I also added my second e-mail address to my account today. What a perfect option!
Very happy customer.

November 2nd, 2007 at 10:57 am

I have a drop down on a yahoo home page for ‘Mail, Messenger, Radio, Weather, Local, and Horoscopes’.
I used to be able to put my cursor over ‘Mail’ and it would drop down and show me the subject and who my first few emails in my inbox were. NOW as of about a month ago (around the same time I upgraded to Yahoo plus), there are no emails listed, just a link that says “Please go to ‘mail.yahoo.com’ to retrieve you mail”.
What happened, and how do I get it back?

November 2nd, 2007 at 11:10 am

my wife is crying for the old classic….sorta like new coke and classic coke…no one likes change for changes sake, different is not always better just different.

November 2nd, 2007 at 11:14 am

I think I have the old classic (still have an avatar), but, why do I have a Google search bar now? It has auto fill, buttons and other stuff. I will never use it, but it is there.

November 2nd, 2007 at 11:19 am

Great.

So are there any plans to get everyone on the same mail so you aren’t trying to talk to 3 different groups of users at once?

Yahoo’s been through a lot of changes lately, and while the improvements have been great, there is a lot of confusion, mostly caused by these “failures to communicate”. And I hate to say it, but a lot of those failures are on yahoo’s end.

Choices are good, but on the other hand the entire point of a brand name is consistency. I think it’s time yahoo got organized.

November 2nd, 2007 at 11:30 am

For many years, I used Lotus Notes[tm] at work and went nuts dealing with the differences re Yahoo Classic. When Yahoo launched its new Beta, which is quite similar to the Notes[tm]e-mail architecture, I glomed right on to it. Now, even though retired, I still prefer the New Yahoo e-mail.

November 2nd, 2007 at 11:32 am

The new email doesn’t work with my browser (Opera), so I’m sticking with the old one.

November 2nd, 2007 at 11:34 am

Oh and while I recognize the importance of ads, when they get to the point that they stop mail from loading or interfere with other functions, they’re a a problem.

One that happens a lot unfortunately. Ads that cause problems, make loud noises, take over my page or interfere with the million things I’m trying to get done in a day turn me off of both Yahoo and the product advertised.

Animation and flashy ads may look great, but when they make it take 10 minutes or more to load or refresh my inbox, and I can’t do anything in the meantime but sit there and wait, it’s a problem. I don’t check mail as often and communication is delayed.

I used to constantly have a mail tab open, any time during the day I would slip over, answer mail as it came in, then get back to my day, but with the interference from the ads in new mail I can’t do that. The constant reloading and refreshing of the ads makes every mail trip take at least 20 minutes. I have to set aside an hour every morning and every evening for mail and just not answer what I can’t get to in that time.

Do yourselves a favor, keep the ads simple.

November 2nd, 2007 at 11:42 am

After seven years, I still love Yahoo Mail and will keep using it as long as I can consider it “mine” through settings and/or preferences to make it work the way I want. However, I would review my usage when I’m forced into something that doesn’t work for me. That’s why I’m back with Classic after trying to use New Mail for a week.

The biggest thing that didn’t work for me is the size of the reading pane is too small. Resizing the message pane to it’s smallest amount still doesn’t leave the reading pane big after screen space is taken by the header, toolbar and footer. Reading a message ten lines at a time is no good. I know the message can be opened in it’s own tab but that is extra navigation (three clicks vs one) and load time. From a user interface standpoint, reading messages is MUCH harder in New Mail than Classic.

Second biggest is the slow response time. Yes, I have cable ‘net – not dial up. I actually like the new AJAX toolbar but not at the expense of speed.

Last is some changes in the UI that don’t prevent but slow down navigation. Logging into New Mail puts us at the “new & improved News module” you’ve shown in the blog above. I already have MyYahoo for news so why would I want to see it when I log into Mail? That just doesn’t make sense.

I know the Mail Blog isn’t a support site, but thanks for forwarding our comments to the right people.

November 2nd, 2007 at 11:51 am

I had the Beta mail. Then they said they were having difficulties on day so go back to the classic mail. I did this but now I cannot get back to the New Mail which I do want.

November 2nd, 2007 at 12:04 pm

Why the hubbub. As long as it functions at least as well as it has in the past…

November 2nd, 2007 at 12:23 pm

I love the new beta email. I love that I can choose the emails I want deleted. The only thing is I used to be able to chat in my email and now I cant. Does anyone know why this has happened?

November 2nd, 2007 at 1:15 pm

RyanK,

Thanks for letting us know we can stick with the classic.

While it’s good to know that I can jump to the updated version whenever I need to, I really don’t need all of those features. I’m quite pleased with html e-mail, thanks.

November 2nd, 2007 at 1:38 pm

Whenever anything gets new it works less efficently. Put everything back to the old versions and leave well enough alone.

November 2nd, 2007 at 1:41 pm

هاى

November 2nd, 2007 at 2:22 pm

I liked the functionality of the ‘New’ email, especially the drag and drop. I also liked being able to open up more than one email message in tabs. But… I went back to Classic because my home computer could not run the new one consistently. Performance is just as important to me as features.

November 2nd, 2007 at 2:24 pm

I am not sure which mail I have, I know I had Beta,on my dsl in Kendallville, but since I am traveling and using dial up I think I have been switched to classic and then to new then to something else. It is very confussing to deal with all of these different mails. And then somtimes when I am tryng to read they all just disappear. Why don’t you just have a simple read and write click to do this instead of compose and draft. I think Yahoo is very slow in downloading there mail folder and then they have to download the one theat you have selected. Then double click to read, then you have to move it and you can’t put it in a Rec. folder from the person who sent it. Change is good but also bad.

November 2nd, 2007 at 2:34 pm

I am using the old classic. Have not seen an updated classic. Tried using the ‘beta’ and liked it, until I pulled out my Treo 755p at work and could not access my mail. Back to the “old” classic and have been there for several weeks. Until the newer mail will run on the PALM BLAZER web browser, here is where I’ll stay.

November 2nd, 2007 at 2:36 pm

The new Yahoo mail is embarrassingly poor. Not only will it not work in Safari, it’s hard to use and is crippled by advertising. And why should I have to pay to forward my mail or check it with a client? No thanks, you just became my junk email account.

November 2nd, 2007 at 2:50 pm

I am still trying to determine when and how I can switch to the updated Classic version. I have the original Classic now. I have seen other questions regarding this, but, thusfar, no hint as to when the updated Classic will be available.
Help, please.
Thank you.
Gary

November 2nd, 2007 at 2:57 pm

Sounds like theres a lot of users with slow computers and slow connections, or who are basic users (which is fine). The new mail has always worked great for me, its very responsive and the features are nice. I use professional desktop clients for my mail and have for years, so the familiarity when using my yahoo account is appealing. I will never go back to the poor, clunk classic interface; unless of course I get stuck on a terrible setup, which is unlikely.

November 2nd, 2007 at 3:12 pm

First blush, it looked too much like microsoft’s hotmail. Pressed for time, I went right back to Classic Yahoo Mail.

Now, I have to copy and paste from the address book, to compose and send an email. It no longer populates the field, when you click on the link.

It would also be nice to be able to send up to 300 emails, at one time.

My connection is Verizon Wireless, exclusively.

November 2nd, 2007 at 3:15 pm

Please stop trying to shove the new version down my throat I resent the strong arm tactics !
I don’t want it I don’t need it ! cpriewe@yahoo.com

November 2nd, 2007 at 3:17 pm

I have the new mail I like it better that the classic because it haves the news on it and the drag feacher

November 2nd, 2007 at 3:31 pm

You know, I had yahoo mail that had so much saving room on it. All of the sudden, when trying to access emails I had been saving, they are all gone. I want to know what happen to all the space that was available, why I wasn’t told to copy the messages before they were deleted and why I have not been told there is another huge change.

I have had yahoo since www first began. I have the same address since the 4th year of starting. Now it is getting to the point where I will have to find another mail, gmail possibly, to suit my needs.

Service was the main point of sticking with you over the years. Lack of communication is what is going to change my loyalty. The ball is in your court and your response will make the decision, or lack of response.

November 2nd, 2007 at 3:36 pm

I like the options available in the new mail, but they typically don’t work. I’m often irritated with error messages, emails that don’t load, etc. I’m very close to switching back to the “Classic without any cool features” version simply because it was more reliable. Hopefully the issues will be fixed soon. :(

November 2nd, 2007 at 3:44 pm

I really hate your new Yahoo, new Yahoo mail. It’s full of advertising and forces me to wade through things I don’t want to look at.

November 2nd, 2007 at 4:08 pm

i want what i’ve had for the past several years. when you suggest all these great changes i do’t have the mentality to figure out your intent and thinking. just don’t muddy up my waters

November 2nd, 2007 at 4:12 pm

nd cannot tell what I have read and not.

November 2nd, 2007 at 4:17 pm

Sorry tried multiple times to upload the “new” version and kept getting error messages. After reading all the above I’ll stick with classic thank you. If ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

November 2nd, 2007 at 4:36 pm

I can’t stand the New Improved version. I much prefer the Classic. Coke tried it once and quickly realized it was a Big Fat Mistake !!!

November 2nd, 2007 at 4:38 pm

I have posted here a few times now and each and every time there are a few common points of fact I have found. Of the 55 post only a few care for the “new mail” and I am in agreement with the majority I prefer the “classic”. I have tired to contact Yahoo about some of the following issues, I have even ask while on the phone with customer service for my merchant account and they refuse to talk about anything to do with “new mail”.
Here are the common complaints and by the way I connect at 10 MEGS.
loads to slow
errors
advertisement
to “busy”
small reading pain
I have tried several times to use “new mail” and experience all the same problems, I just need mail when I go to mail; fast, easy, reliable mail. I use My Yahoo as a home page and now that our browsers allow for tabbing my email account loads with my home page. PLEASE before anyone thinks that I am down on Yahoo know this I pay for my music, merchant account and web hosting through Yahoo and would hope that it does not come down to paying for my mail. I would like for Yahoo to respond to all the complaints about “new email” and know that we would not take the time to post our comments if we did not care!

November 2nd, 2007 at 4:44 pm

To: Ms. Betty.
Look into Mozilla Firefox. Better, more secure browser than IE. Has add-ons to control animation/flash etc, etc.

November 2nd, 2007 at 4:46 pm

im old ile stick to old you cant teach a old dog new tricks seamanab

November 2nd, 2007 at 4:52 pm

I use Yahoo! New Mail (or TMFKAB – The Mail Formerly Known As Beta). I switched to Beta a long, long time ago and never switched back. It’s my favorite email application. Maybe you need an “option” that says “email app & version”. Ha! Ha! Thanks for all the good work.

November 2nd, 2007 at 5:07 pm

Tried the beta, thought it was awful so went back to original classic and see no reason to change.

November 2nd, 2007 at 5:59 pm

i like the old yahoo mail better than the new would like to switch too the old mail account

November 2nd, 2007 at 6:28 pm

i like the old mail better than the new one. less complication and user friendly.

November 2nd, 2007 at 6:34 pm

I hated the Beta…and switched back to the good old classic yahoo mail.

The new version sucked.

Thanks…but I’ll keep the old one.

November 2nd, 2007 at 6:51 pm

I hate the new mail only because it never loads, and when the option to use classic mail appears, if i don’t click it right away, i cannot get it to work later. but the classic mail loads right away, is there a possibility that u could use some of the old software, and just change it for the new stuff, instead of writing all new software and having all the problems… suggestion, have 2 teams write software for the new email system (one rewriting the old and one writing all new)??

November 2nd, 2007 at 6:58 pm

I love the new mail format and don’t have any problem with the speed – get cable people!

My one complaint is about the search feature. In the old version you could search just the inbox or just the sent folder, which I really liked and it saved a lot of time. Any chance that feature could be incorporated into the new version?

Thanks!

November 2nd, 2007 at 7:04 pm

one more thing… I seem to be getting MUCH more spam – much of it from Africa, you know, THOSE emails – bleeding through to my inbox in the new version… that is a bummer!

November 2nd, 2007 at 7:46 pm

Curious – How many years can you call a software program a beta before its…well…you know. WORKING!

November 2nd, 2007 at 8:01 pm

I’m sticking to the classic. I tried the new mail and it’s just too slow to load on dial up.
I use my mail for mail,anything else I need to use i can get from other locations.

November 2nd, 2007 at 8:18 pm

I have had beta and now yahoo plus I’ve never had a problem, maybe that’s because I have DSL.

November 2nd, 2007 at 9:43 pm

May be I am just Set In My Ways. BUT IF IT IS NOT BROKE, WHY TRY TO FIX IT.. Yes, I know it Created Someone a Job..
The Old Version of YAHOO MAIL Worked, Please Leave It Alone. TOO Many of Yahoos Improvements Look Like a AOL Solution to a Non-existing Problem.

November 2nd, 2007 at 10:22 pm

For nearly ten years I have used Yahoo! Mail as my exclusive e-mail program. Until 1 1/2 years ago I used Classic, then I used Beta, and now I’m trying to use All-New Mail. When Yahoo! first announced Beta, I assumed that one day Classic would be discontinued. I switched to Beta as soon as it was available to me, thinking I would get the pain of switching to a new interface over with sooner than later. I really don’t want to switch back.

However, I’m encountering multiple problems and delays with All-New Mail when I use both a desktop connected to a cable modem, and a laptop with high-speed wireless – in a major metropolitan area where ISP service is quite reliable. It would not be fair or accurate to simply attribute the problems that many users are experiencing to the type of Internet connection they are using. I only had occasional delays with the loading of pages when I used Beta. Nothing has changed with my Internet service since my account was upgraded from Beta to All-New Mail a few weeks ago. I doubt very much that users’ Internet service is the cause of many of the problems.

Some service problems must be due to programming errors in the All-New Mail program, and network issues at Yahoo! Obviously, there’s nothing end-users can do to fix those concerns. Yahoo! will have to rely on the patience of its loyal users to wait for these to be resolved.

Compatibility problems with certain browsers, browser settings, and add-ons also seem to be impeding the proper functioning of All-New Mail features. After my account was upgraded from Beta, the integrated chat in my account would not allow me to put it in on-line status. After ten hours of researching a solution, I learned my integrated chat wasn’t working because I hadn’t given permission for third-parties to store Flash content on my computer. While these types of issues aren’t problems per se with All-New Mail, they will nevertheless be perceived as such by many people.

Yahoo! engineers certainly must be aware of many potential conflicts All-New Mail will have with users’ computer software and settings. Yahoo! would do well by its users if it compiled and posted well-organized information in its on-line Help section on troubleshooting solutions that users can apply to their systems. The current section on problems and errors in on-line Help is not comprehensive, and needs to be updated to address many of the concerns with All-New Mail. Perhaps Customer Care could be apprised of more of these concerns and their respective solutions, so communication with users is more productive.

If Yahoo! doesn’t acknowledge its users’ frustration and disappointment with the All-New Mail service in a meaningful way – and continues to address these concerns only with occasional responses to individual blog comments and lackluster support – legions of users will forgo All-New Mail for Classic Mail, or abandon Yahoo! altogether for competitor programs.

November 2nd, 2007 at 10:43 pm

I am using Yahoo! Mail since 1998. I used it from several parts of the world in America and Europe, with dialup connections in hotels. I have never had any problems With Classic Yahoo! Mail.

Now I have DSL at home and tried to use the new Yahoo! Mail, but as I have a 15″ monitor and use it in 800×600, I cannot use the New Mail comfortably, that is the first reason not to change now.

The second reason is that I work in Information Technology and I am surrounded with computers the whole day and I simply dont like the new Yahoo! Mail because when I am at home using my personal Email it remembers me the Office and my work because of its “Professional Email Client” look, as other user pointed out before.

With Classic I really feel “At Home” and doing “personal stuff” unrelated to work issues.

I wish to thank Yahoo! for its continual improvement efforts, including unlimited storage and leaving us the choice of using any of the two Mail Interfaces. Keep up the good work!

November 3rd, 2007 at 12:03 am

I have the old classic – tried the New yahoo and didn’t like it one bit – couldn’t find my emails easily and they were in a very small space. I would like to have the updated classic but don’t know how to get it

November 3rd, 2007 at 1:19 am

I like Yahoo Classic a lot, just the way it is. Please don’t force us to change it.

I looked at the new format, and I was not impressed. I don’t want my home email format to look like my office email. That would make me feel like my work day is just continuing.

If there are specific improvements you want to offer to Yahoo Classic, please offer the individual items à la carte.

November 3rd, 2007 at 2:42 am

I have tried the new beta mail and have returned to good old classic. I had problems getting my beta homepage the way I wanted it. I couldn’t locate certain links and after trying about 2-3 days, I switched back to classic. I am not afraid to try new things as they seem to be the way of the future, but this was too challenging. Just like Vista, it sucks.

November 3rd, 2007 at 3:50 am

NewMail does not let me sign in easily! It shows 2 error screens then opens the mail page, which is not the flagged updated version. I’m using the classic, also not updated, which is faster, neater and usually preferable. HOWEVER, the Spam Blocker is asleep on the job. I constantly have Spam in with my mail – and they’re obvious!!
Help, please.

November 3rd, 2007 at 4:20 am

Please get me back to Classic–I don’t like the new version. Thanks

November 3rd, 2007 at 5:52 am

i’m with the majority here– i’m sticking to the old classic. i’m kinda surprised; didn’t realize that there were so many others that had problems with beta… i hated it! oh well, you know what they say: if ain’t broke,don’t fix it!! ;)

November 3rd, 2007 at 5:54 am

I have used the original Classic for many years and it meets my needs. I sampled Beta when it first came out and I did not like the look and feel, so I switched back. I recently took a quick peek at New Mail, which looks better than the original Beta. However, the only added feature that New Mail offers that I am aware of and care about is drag-n-drop, and that is not enough for me to switch from Classic and learn a new layout and encounter the issues others are describing.

By the way, with “New” Mail and “Classic” Mail naming, I wonder if Yahoo! hired someone who worked in Coca-Cola’s marketing department during the 1980s.

November 3rd, 2007 at 5:55 am

Please get me back to Classic-I don’ty like the new version. Thanks

November 3rd, 2007 at 6:07 am

I like it but. The messages are still bold after I read them, and I changed from 2min. to 5 to immed. And I miss “view all messages” where you can view read, unread,ect.

November 3rd, 2007 at 6:38 am

I haven’t looked at all the features in the new yahoo mail, but it works out great for my life, I’m deployed so usually I cann’t chat, because I would have to download messenger, but I can chat now without downloading with the new Yahoo mail.

November 3rd, 2007 at 6:41 am

I tried the new version but keep having problems as describe by others. I got pop ups even though my pop up blocker was on. Also, I kept experiencing error messages that I didn’t have before. After switching back to classic, the same problems followed me. For example, this morning I log on the internet and got a huge advertisement page that I couldn’t get rid of. The only thing I could think to do was ctrl+alt+delete to end that task. I’m very frustrated because I’m not a computer person. All I wanted a simple way to check my emails and search the web.

November 3rd, 2007 at 6:44 am

I would like to let everyone know that the new free version of Yahoo Mail is very good and i enjoy it alot. I say that it is worth a shot because if you don’t like the new mail version switching back to the original version only takes one second… at the top of the page my YAHOO symbol it says “switch to original version”

November 3rd, 2007 at 6:47 am

Thank you Yahoo! The new mail is great! Anybody that doesn’t recognize that is too set in their old ways and afraid to change. Don’t let their rants prevent you from continuing to help define a better internet and email experience for all!

Question: I also have a “small business” Yahoo! account and am wondering how soon instant messaging and sms will integrated into that email account.

Keep up the good work.

November 3rd, 2007 at 7:44 am

I have tried the upgrade twice,last time unintenionally,and went back to classic both times.
The upgrade is so slow,and it takes too long to move through it.

Keep classic and don’t impose anything on users who don’t want it.

If I am forced to make the change,I plan to just make a change to Google,and forget it. I hope I don’t have to do it,I like Yahoo Classic.

If your computer has enough firepower, adapting to the new email is easy enough. Otherwise, stay with Classic. But this email”upgrade” is another of example of Yahoo not thinking deeply enough about things. Yahoo upgraded the forums on the financials a while back and just butchered the upgrade with the terrible changes. At least half the people I know stopped using them (including me). Yahoo has to learn to be at least as clever as Google to survive.

November 3rd, 2007 at 9:24 am

I have three Yahoo! accounts for various enterprises and on all three I use the old Classic verion.
I did try the newest offering, the java style beta but switched back after a couple of days. As most posters have mentioned, it’s too ‘bloated’. Less is more IMO

November 3rd, 2007 at 9:28 am

I’ve used my yahoo mail account for about 8 years or so. I’ve always been pleased with it. I tried the beta, but was not pleased due the constant clicking. I did read that problem was fixed, but I think I’ll stay with classic for now. But hey, for free, I’m not complaining!

November 3rd, 2007 at 9:35 am

I do like the New Mail layout, but I don’t have 10 minutes to wait for it to load. I’ve tried twice to get Yahoo to tell me if there will come a time when I won’t be able to use Classic but they won’t answer the question. Back to Classic for now and I hope forever. If I am forced to go to the New Mail it will be goodbye Yahoo!

November 3rd, 2007 at 9:50 am

I PREFFER THE OLD VERSION BUT IT ONLY SHOWS THE HEADING AND NOTHING ELSE.I WOULD LIKE THAT FIXED

November 3rd, 2007 at 10:11 am

I have updated Classic and I wouldn’t want to change it.

November 3rd, 2007 at 10:18 am

Classic or forget it.

November 3rd, 2007 at 10:40 am

Why do most of the people posting comments keep on griping about all of the problems/bugs that Beta has? Everything should be explained just by the name: B-E-T-A-!-!-!

I was under the impression that BETA meant that it passed the Alpha phase and is undergoing the trial-and-error procedure.

The bottom line of what I have to say is that most of you don’t understand the concept of Beta.

P.S.: As for me, I’ll stick with the beta!

November 3rd, 2007 at 12:42 pm

I have been with Yahoo for 8-10 years. I got switch over on my e-mail. I have every tech rep. in to get my old e-mail back. I have a commercial lending business and my old e-mail address was commercialfunging@yahoo.com. when you change they drop the I out of funding. I have done every thing I can do to get my old e-mail back. I sent you drive license ID. and can’t get back to my old e-mail address. I work all over the world and this address with my cards is everywhere. Please if you can help me anyway, please let me know. Gene Sells President Commercialfunding Group. Inc. Phone -800-478-9970. I keep the second e=mail address commercialfundng@yahoo.com. I need the orginal e-mail back. Fax # 352 503-5206. Thanks

November 3rd, 2007 at 1:27 pm

like the old yahoo

November 3rd, 2007 at 1:40 pm

i do not like the preview pane.
since i could not get rid of the preview pane, i got rid of new mail.
i do not want to look at some of the disgusting spam that gets into my inbox, and i still believe that the preview pane can help trigger virus/malware.

November 3rd, 2007 at 1:42 pm

New Mail (Beta) It took a little to get used to but I like it better now.

November 3rd, 2007 at 1:52 pm

I love the ALL NEW MAIL! or YAHoo!mail BETA!
I like the chat (because now I can communicate with my yahoo.com friends as well as with hotmail.com friends!!!!)
I just wanted to ask you, if there’s a way for you to add some other stuff, like chatting with icq users through e-mail! Is it possible? because I have no clue,,,
THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING SUCH AN EXCELLEN E-MAIL SERVISE! YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB!

November 3rd, 2007 at 1:58 pm

I seem to have a HUGE issue. Two weeks ago (or possibly a little longer) it asked me if i wanted to change my format. To be honest I can’t recall what i told it to do, but i have not been able to access my email at all.

Is anyone else having this problem? It’s been two weeks! I called Yahoo a week ago and told me I should have access by Tuesday, that was 4 days ago!

I find this really aggravating. Just wanted to know if i was the only one.

November 3rd, 2007 at 3:21 pm

I use yahoo all the time, and I am going to get a website thru yahoo as soon as we can get some high speed internet in our area. also lately been having trouble with the new version and have had to go back to classic to get my mail., am also un able to send out photos thru yahoo mail anymore whats up?speaky99@yahoo.com

November 3rd, 2007 at 3:28 pm

The single most important thing you could do to improve Yahoo Mail (New) is let me take control of the trash. Or alternatively, let messages stay in there for a month before you trash them.

There are a LOT of messages I may need for a week or two, but would not want them permanently in my inbox, as it just clutters it for searches. Deleting is easy, just one button.

But the trash empties at random times and clears everything out, not just old stuff.

BTW, I really like the new way you can refine the search.

November 3rd, 2007 at 3:59 pm

How do I change the signature on the yahoo mail?

November 3rd, 2007 at 4:00 pm

I can not load my messages. It has been happening in these two days. I am so mad and can not even switch to old Yahoo mail. There is no official note saying what is wrong. What is actually WRONG?

November 3rd, 2007 at 4:14 pm

I have had a yahoo email for YEARS…I always liked it better than the others I tried. I tried the beta, and did not like it, so I went back to the original (Still have the avatar). Half the time when I try to forward a message with a picture in it (as inline text) it won’t show the picture. I also cannot view many pictures sent to me. I never used to have this problem. I am considering using another email if I can’t find a way to fix this. My options are set to view pictures.

November 3rd, 2007 at 4:25 pm

Not a fan of new Yahoo mail. Tried to convince myself twice to use (beta, then new) it but I’ll stick to classic- used it since 1998.

New Yahoo email – too slow, sometimes loses messages when browsing or moving message to another folder, HATE the integration with IM – I was trying too work yet kept getting interrupted by IM’ers, I have a Yahoo home page- why the heck would I want another news section in my mail – I am in my mail to use mail not browse! Did I mention too bloated & slow.

November 3rd, 2007 at 5:28 pm

Can you tell me how to switch back to the classic? I hate the new one.

November 3rd, 2007 at 5:43 pm

I prefer my classic old email page as well as my
own design at my.yahoo.com. I personal dislike to get evertime transferred to the new beta page automatically and have to stir myself back through several pages to my own page which I set up the way I like it. That is the same with my email; the one above and eljorg95917@yahoo.com
So please let me have the versions I have or I will look for other choice which is fine with me too.

November 3rd, 2007 at 6:22 pm

the problem i have with the new mail is i can’t see my other mail accounts. I have a small biz yahoo account and in the old mail version i can switch between the two

November 3rd, 2007 at 6:24 pm

I got an answer from your crack service team, and tried the new yahoo mail to see if indeed they did fix it. Sorry, same old error code 5 when trying to access other yahoo mail accounts. It still is BROKE.
Keep trying. Maybe someday someone will figure it out.
Chris Shannon

November 3rd, 2007 at 6:51 pm

Its mail, “KISS”- keep it simple stupid, why fix it if its not broke, maybe its because im 36, i dont know, but i hope “Classic” never leaves

November 3rd, 2007 at 7:32 pm

I like the beta version “BUT” why can’t we load pictures into our email like we use too with the classic mail? Are you going to incorporate that anytime soon? I have notice lately that beta version has been loading slowly… I hope can all be fixed soon!

November 3rd, 2007 at 7:46 pm

It is not ok that I get the error code 5 every time I log on to my yahoo account. Fix it already!!! This is just stupid at this point!

November 3rd, 2007 at 8:20 pm

I use the new Ajax style and love it! I’m also a Yahoo Power Mailer….Yahooooo!

November 3rd, 2007 at 9:33 pm

I don’t like the new mail (formerly known as Beta), mainly because of the built in messenger. When I get online to check my e-mail, I want to just check my e-mail, not chat with someone. It’d be nice if that were a customizable option, but it doesn’t seem to be.

November 3rd, 2007 at 9:55 pm

i do not like the new version of your email………….how do you go back to the old version? the classic version.

November 3rd, 2007 at 11:23 pm

I tried the “All New” email, twice, and changed it back to classic both times. I use a satellite connection, and it is very fast… but the new email is too slow for the limited time I have. I use Yahoo for both personal and business email, and time waiting for uploads is unproductive time.

One thing that does not seem to have been taken into consideration is the age of many users. Computer users are getting older, and more older people are using the internet now than used to. Changing to a smaller font is a disservice for those with aging eyes, and not-so-good to start with vision.

It seems that the desire is to look like Outlook Express… a package I decided many years ago that I did not like, and would not use. If we end up having no choice but to switch to this, I will switch to another service.

As many others have said… if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Give us options we can add to what we already have if we want them, but don’t try to force us into something we don’t want.

My two cents worth…

November 4th, 2007 at 12:52 am

I dont like new arrangements on my yahoo mail. for example there is sudden change that you did not ask me before- FLAG or UNFLAGGED messages. what does that mean? It gives only trouble to me. I have to unflag before I reply to such messages. It is no use.

November 4th, 2007 at 3:10 am

I think the new Yahoo mail is great. Those who tried earlier “beta” versions should give the new one a try. It’s almost like Outlook, but is available on any computer you are using.

November 4th, 2007 at 4:01 am

You can update your classic mail by clicking “all new mail”, located on the upper right corner of your window.

going back to mail classic ; click “mail classic ” button located in the upper left corner of the window.

hope this helps

November 4th, 2007 at 4:52 am

@ Chris-

Yahoo shouldn’t be forcing people into being beta testers! That’s why they’re griping. Test it, fix it, THEN roll it out!

November 4th, 2007 at 4:57 am

I really like the new version, and have used it off and on for a long time. Unfortunately, it isn’t stable–on modern computers with modern browsers.

I have been forced to switch back to the clasic version one too many times, and now I have completely given up on the new version.

I’m sticking with the classic verion.

November 4th, 2007 at 6:14 am

I am and have been using Yahoo Classic for about 10+ years now. I tried the Yahoo Beta a couple of times but found it too slow for my liking. The message window is too small.

I also use Gmail and love it ! A mail thread is kept together. There is less clutter in the Inbox. It is very easy to find your messages. Automatic filters can be set up for the mail to go into different folders. And all this for free.

I do feel sad as I slowly migrate from Yahoo to Gmail.

November 4th, 2007 at 6:30 am

I find the entire lot confusing and unnecessary.
Why wont yahoo stick to something and get us to advance as one piece.Why the choice?For me as a
surgeon I need to keep abreast with mails and to assess them quite fast.See what you have caused me!Delay upon delay.Is this supposed to impress the users or your rivals e.g Google?

November 4th, 2007 at 6:36 am

I got the Updated Classic for a day, now it’s back to the Classic for some reason. I didn’t change it back.

November 4th, 2007 at 6:43 am

How can I get the UPDATED CLASSIC version of Yahoo E-Mail?

November 4th, 2007 at 7:16 am

Less bloat for me too.

thanks

November 4th, 2007 at 7:59 am

TOTEL NUMBER OF MESSAGES PLACED AT THE TOP OF MESSAGE LIST WILL BE HELFUL IN PERIODICALLY DELETING THE MESSAGES,

November 4th, 2007 at 9:49 am

Yahoo Classic Mail is THE best. You know, Gmail’s UI looks awfully a lot like the classic mail. LOL It’s easy to use and FAST!

Just update the classic mail. Beta is awfully SLOW and not easy to use. Do you expect me to scroll down to thousands of emails to get to my first email? Emails need to have “pages”, just like Gmail and Yahoo classic mail do.

I hope classic mail lasts FOREVER!

Yahoo -> LESS IS MORE!

November 4th, 2007 at 9:57 am

I have ALL NEW MAIL on my WindowsXP and like it best.

BUT I am struggling along with OLD Classic on my MacBook Pro and wish you could offer NEW MAIL to MAC USERS.

Thanks for asking.

November 4th, 2007 at 11:28 am

Hi Ryan-

Thanks for your post. Can you just make a product that is just easy to understand and that doesn’t need so much explanation?

Thanks,

-Eric

November 4th, 2007 at 11:42 am

To the people saying that the people running into problems with the new email are running on “slower or older machines” – nonsense.

3.0 GHz Intel CPU, Win XP on RAID 0 10k RPM SATA hard drives, 2 GB RAM, Nvidia 8800 GTX video card, etc etc etc – no esoteric OS or hardware.

Don’t confuse POORLY coded (optimized?) software with poorly performing hardware. The new email client is bloated and performs awfully. I really like the functionality of it, but flat out can’t stand the way it bogs down my machine.

Also, the fact that it (at least used to when I was using it) opens and reads emails when you’d go to move them to new folders – basically would download whatever awful spam was in them, and let whomever sent it know that you were out there and “reading” their spam. Yahoo’s spam filters are HORRID compared to Google’s GMail.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE yahoo email, and have been using it for nearly 10 years now. I’ll continue to use it, but there are some substantial improvements that Yahoo needs to focus on (in my opinion) other than making their email client “look purty”.

November 4th, 2007 at 11:55 am

Please get me back to Classic–I don’t like the new version. Thanks

November 4th, 2007 at 12:41 pm

Help how do i get the old yahoo back, i down loaded the new and don’t like it .help.

November 4th, 2007 at 12:58 pm

I use New Mail and love it!

November 4th, 2007 at 3:35 pm

I have the new Beta mail and Home page. I just love them both! I have shared them with other friends and family and they also love them! I am retired and not all that “up” with the latest things and still found it so easy. Yahoo walked me through it all.
Thank You

November 4th, 2007 at 4:13 pm

I’ll stick with what I have which is the original classic.

Thanks

November 4th, 2007 at 4:23 pm

The new mail is awful, has added 2 tool bar lines to my screen, no one seems to know how to get rid of that. I am so frustrated that I am moving all of my acconts from yahoo,

November 5th, 2007 at 3:27 am

I tried the beta when it came out. Nice looking interface and a whole lot of stuff other than mail. My problem is like a bunch of other comments, it takes too long to just look at mail, as I am stuck on a dial-up account. I have no use for the beta and hope classic is still offered in the future. Otherwise, I will have to abandon Yahoo Mail.

I have been and am completely happy and satisfied with classic. Please continue to offer it.

November 5th, 2007 at 12:45 pm

I have Yahoo! Mail Classic, but would prefer to be on the beta version. The problem with that, is when I change over, the “new mail” tries to automatically install a feature for Yahoo! Chat, which I am not allowed to use at work, and so my connection to the internet is instantly severed by the internet security office here at my work. Any way to get around this annoying install so that I can use the new (and in my opinion, better) version without being locked out by my employer? Any help would be much appreciated.

November 5th, 2007 at 8:07 pm

I’m “using” the Beta version because I USUALLY prefer that format and versatility. However, that assumes I have ACCESS to it, and it’s not down AGAIN because of yet another bug! LIKE TODAY! I rely on my email professionally as well as personally, and if Yahoo can’t provide reliable email service, they are forcing me to consider other options. Either devote the resources to solving the bugs because that’s how you keep customers, or don’t spend the money on fixing the bugs and lose your customers. What a dilemma.

November 5th, 2007 at 11:41 pm

Cgreen,
-
The login status for Messenger in Mail should be persistent from session to session. So if you login to Mail from a machine away from work, allow it to complete the connection to Chat, and then sign out of chat from the chat dropdown, your account should remember that the next time you login. Even if you login from a different machine.

November 6th, 2007 at 3:52 am

Hi!!

I think the new Beta rocks, great stuff!!

In general I love it, but I am not able to chat with Live Messenger users… I get their messages, I have them on my contacts list, but when I reply I get a message saying “To chat with a Windows Live user, you must first add them to your online list”, then I hit add but I keep getting the same message when trying to chat w. them.

To me this is a bug cause I have already chat to them but then it stopped.

cheers :)

November 6th, 2007 at 5:40 am

i love my new webpage i just changed it.

November 6th, 2007 at 6:39 am

I hate the new one – can’t even get back to Classic version – every click and it still won’t work.

November 6th, 2007 at 6:44 am

I have been stuck with the “updated” Classic and I HATE it because you took away “Forward As Attachment”.

I want that back! It is the SOLE reason that I won’t use “new” (formerly Beta) Yahoo Mail.

To make it perfectly clear: I WANT “FORWARD AS ATTACHMENT”!!!!

November 6th, 2007 at 6:46 am

How can I switch from “updated Classic” to the original version?

I don’t like “updated Classic”.

November 6th, 2007 at 8:32 am

Please give me back my old e-mail, I don’t understand the new format. The old one was simpler to comprehend.

November 6th, 2007 at 10:17 am

Please give me back the my old e-mail. The older version (with “Bulk” folder and no flagging option) – Thanks!

November 6th, 2007 at 12:11 pm

Yahoo Mail is not responding…

November 6th, 2007 at 12:13 pm

i like the my new page but i just need help on the txtin!!!

November 6th, 2007 at 3:46 pm

Please give me back my old e-mail. Too much work with the new email to get the same content I had with the old version.

November 6th, 2007 at 8:06 pm

I like the classic version and will stick with it for now….Thank You

November 7th, 2007 at 6:41 am

I have the new beta version and I love it! I even love the fact that I can chat, ie IM, someone while they and I are online in Yahoo, which is so cool because if I am on a computer that doesn’t have Yahoo Messenger, I can still chat with my friends. Very cool by the way to have two programs/two parts of Yahoo in one. One thing though that bothers me sometimes, is that Yahoo takes a bit of time to completely upload. Other than that, in other times it comes up very quickly. Oh and by the way Yahoo, you guys are too funny, when my friends are typing on the other end, you make the funniest remarks, you have me laughin all the time.

November 7th, 2007 at 7:22 am

I tries the Beta version and it reminded me too much of Outlook Express…which I totally disliked. I tried Hotmail and didn’t care for that either. But the classic Yahoo mail suits me just fine!!!

November 7th, 2007 at 8:58 pm

I want to update our email on yahoo, Pls show me how to update

Best regards

Tony

November 8th, 2007 at 7:50 am

Is something wrong? I haven’t been able to access the mail site in 3 days. Going to mail.yahoo.com doesn’t work either. Please advise.

November 8th, 2007 at 12:14 pm

I’m with kelete.
I can’t add one particular Windows Live user to my contacts. It is just with my account. If I change to another Yahoo account, it works. This also holds true for the standalone versions of both Messenger programs (Yahoo and Windows Live). What could it be? Some kind of blackball on Windows/Hotmail?

November 9th, 2007 at 5:37 am

I can not see any of my e-mails since you guys made this change with Yahoo. I would really like to read a couple of my e-mails that have been sent to me recently. If you can not help me How can I go about getting them somewhere else (maybe to a different address so I can read them.

November 9th, 2007 at 10:51 am

leave good alone like old , don’t like changing all the time

tell us old users how to keep old not have to back and forth
lock some way for us old users pretty plz

November 10th, 2007 at 6:08 am

I like using the “new” mail on my work computer, but when I get home and turn on my Apple it’s not compatible so I have to switch it back. after doing this twice I now just leave it in classic mode.

November 10th, 2007 at 11:17 am

November 10th, 2007 at 11:40 am

I updated the new version for mail but would like to go back to mail classic…I am new with computer and understand it better….

November 10th, 2007 at 11:41 am

How can I change back to Classic Mail only?

November 11th, 2007 at 7:59 pm

How do I go back to the original Classic? I have experienced several problems with the “new” classic. Have spent several hours trying to get this problem resolved…NO LUCK. Have done a live chat with two of your agents who did not have a clue how to solve my problem. They escalated it and the responses I received did not address my issue. Perhaps rather than having old classic, new classic, beta etc you should pick one and stick with it until your support personnel receive proper training. Again, my question is HOW DO I GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL CLASSIC?

November 12th, 2007 at 4:17 pm

I don’t know about any of you yahoo users but once I clicked on the beta version, I found that I not only cannot access my mail but I cannot, at all, in every attempt made, get back to mail classic which worked. I sent yahoo complaints using their complaint editor and their feedback is unreadable because I can’t open any mail in beta. I sent the same thing and gave two alternate e-mail addresses that work. Yahoo has tried several beta versions of the e-mail over the years and have failed miserably. And you can’t even find the 800 # to try to talk to them about this.

Do yourselves a favor and stay with the classic and don’t even THINK about clicking to beta. You may never be able to use your account again.

November 12th, 2007 at 4:19 pm

I don’t think you’ll ever be able to go home and return to yahoo original. You’ve been tricked and are now locked in beta version, which may not work at all.

November 14th, 2007 at 8:14 am

I have the new updated classic but before I had the Yahoo Beta & I really liked it and somehow got switched to yahoo classic :/ when I used my friend’s computer, I would like to get the Yahoo Beta back so, how can I do this?

November 14th, 2007 at 12:26 pm

I’ve been wondering why, when I ask for my mail I get a different version from my yahoo shortcuts! Logically, I thought that when I chose “beta”, I would GET “Beta” each time I logged in to my mail….The fact that you CAN go back & forth is ok, but, why the inconsistencies? Can’t you stabilize all icons to one choice and let US change styles? (if desired) Seems to me a pretty logical fix…..???

November 14th, 2007 at 1:20 pm

Well, I like the “New” version and even though mine has a link to switch back to classic, I have never tried it to see if it works. However, I have always been able to get my mail. Also, however, I can no longer get to the part that allows me to change the internal question and answer that would be asked if I had to change the password, an thoughts on that one. Clearly things have been lost in the transition, and not sure anyone cares!

November 14th, 2007 at 1:24 pm

Why can’t I click on a link and get access from my e-mail?

November 15th, 2007 at 11:08 am

I regret a recent change to my Original Classic. I can’t get any of the toolbar options to work on the Updated version. Improvement is not always better for the simple minded. I want to change back to the original version. How can I make it happen?

November 15th, 2007 at 2:02 pm

I prefer the old site, how can I go back to it.

November 15th, 2007 at 4:30 pm

I’m using the older version of classic. I switched to beta when it first came out, but I found it hard to use and understand so I switched back. One of the problems I remember was I couldn’t just click the “insert contacts” button to add the people to send my email to, and I couldn’t figure out how to do it on beta without manually typing in the email addresses. It also took FOREVER to get it to load so I could check my mail in the first place. I’m happy with mine the way it is, although it could use a few easy-to-use updates.

November 16th, 2007 at 11:48 am

Ryan,

I have a few Yahoo! email accounts. What can I say? I love a good thing. I have been a Y! proponent from its start. But the Y! Mail Beta is troubling. Here are my issues:
- I was a beta tester and my primary email is stuck in perptual beta format.
- My other Y! mail is in beta but has features my original does not. Example: one has the “show images” button, the other does not. It seems as if my original/primary email was not upgraded.
- SLOW! OMG, loading the AJAX components is slow. So bad I have actually thought of switching products. That is not good.
- Y! Messenger in my mail? Nor for me. In fact, confusning when my Offline Mgs pops up as I long into Y! IM. Just not a fan of this feature.

Would love to chat to a support person to clear up my issues.

Except for the much too small reading pane, I love the New/Beta version. I have cable, so no problems with slow loading. It’s hanging a bit right now, but only a few seconds. Even I’m not so busy that a few seconds of waiting is going to kill me. I did have an issue with all the advertising, but when I renewed my “Plus” subscription, they all stopped, and my email opened with my email and not a news page. What’s up with all you people who are complaining that they shouldn’t have to PAY for their mail. And, you also complain an awful lot about something that is a free service. Maybe you should try some gratitute, huh? If you want perfection, you should be prepared to pay for it. Thanks, Yahoo!, for the services you give us (even if you do force feed us advertising for things that few of us are interested in).

Just signed on to the new Beta. I love that it’s so fast. Also like that all my emails are listed. Changed my page style to show all the ads on the right hand side of the page as that’s what am used to. Like that better. But this stuff is FAST! Only thing don’t like is the 360 thing. The whole thing is just better to me. Thanks so much!

i want yahoo classic back or i will switch to google

November 20th, 2007 at 11:37 am

I started using the Beta email as soon as I noticed the option to switch. I really love the ease of selecting email that is scattered through my inbox and then dragging and dropping into the folder that I want to put it in. I like the fact that I can move an opened email to whatever folder I want to put it in. I enjoy having my messenger open while I am in my email withhout having to have another window open, however, on that note; I miss having the option of appearing available to some of the contacts on my list, while appearing invisible to the rest. As far as I am concerned, I approve of the New Yahoo! email.

Why can’t Yahoo be accessed on non-phone PDA’s unless we actually type yahoo.com? I type m.yahoo.com and it wants to download my Document file onto my pda! I just want mobile email back… let’s not go into the unfairness of 2.0 Yahoo Go only being for smartphones or newer PDA’s with WM5 or 6. There are tons of wm2003 pda’s still out here working just fine. We need a solution, either a mobile page that works no matter what you use like Gmail or a Go that works on ALL platforms and doesn’t hog 4mb of memory!

I received email from Yahoo! Small Business advising me that my service was being changed, with instructions for setting up POP on my “business email” account. But as far as I know, I don’t *have* a business email account, and when I followed the instructions the POP server agreed with me. So do I have to do anything related to this change, or am I OK?

Hi yahoo team,
Myself shailesh naik, i am using the yahoomail service since 10 years till now i was not having any problem using yahoomail services and till now i was satisfied with the service you provided. But since last few days i am having problem with my yahoo account if i send mail to any of my contacts , the recipients are getting my mails on next day instead of getting quickly and in my account Bulk folder is not appearing instead it showing spam folder. Help me to revert back my yahoomail account to old classic yahoomail from updated classic yahoomail.
I would be grateful to you if you could help me for such matter. hope to receive your reply as soon as possible. and i am assured that you will not disappoint me.

I tried the Beta when it was first made available and still have it to this day and I’m waiting for the full conversion. One of my favorite features is the intergrated IM in mail. If you work at a place where IM software is not allowed to be downloaded (or can’t be) on company computers; this is great. I can still IM my wife at lunch and not break company rules! Keep up the good work guys. I guess some people don’t do change very well. Have it on home computer as well as work. Never had a problem yet with it.

Yahoo mail has always been slow, and if it gets
any slower I’m going back to my ISP’s POP3 mail.

Not everybody carries a ton of etoys along with
them that require web-based mail, y’know.

Plus, my ISP doesn’t clobber me with inane ads.

Hey! I just convinced myself. :)

Goodbye, Yahoo, and thanks for all the fish.

December 7th, 2007 at 10:42 am

New email was much harder to read so I switched back to classic a month ago. Maybe you can put in a feature to increase the font size of the mail.

December 18th, 2007 at 5:28 pm

want the original mail

December 26th, 2007 at 11:43 pm

Hey,

I have been using the Beta version, it is a highly advanced one & I really like it.But I happened to format my computer so I lost the source & do not know how to get it again. Please help me to get Y mail beta again.

Thanks alot.

The new yahoo mail undoubtedly a great mail app.In fact best of the free webmail servoce offered.But sometimes IE6/IE7 javascipt is unstable.And then nthing works even if i want to switch to classic mail it wont let me.I think u should provide one feature at Yahooo mail login page for choosing New mail or Classic Mail version.This help help a lot.Thanks.

I want to keep a copy of my Draft message in draft folder even after sending the same. Please help.

April 4th, 2008 at 9:37 am

Akshay,
-
Once you send a message the draft automatically moves from your Drafts folder to your Sent folder. You can override this action by holding the Shift key when sending your message.

I like the Original Classic better.
I preferred the “add signature” check-box, I don’t add my sig to ALL my msgs, now I have to delete it from the ones I don’t want.
Also, I used my Draft folder to hold some form letters I would send, NOW, when I send them, they get DELETED!

May 8th, 2008 at 8:10 am

Please give us a way to take the News Module box out of the Yahoo Mail inbox. I don’t want it there and would rather switch to another provider than have to keep looking at it every time. It’s a distraction when I am trying to be productive.

i’ve just moved to fl, and signed upped for at&t, so i don’t know why i have to use yahoo for email or messenger. i use to have yahoo in pa and did not like it then nor am i liking it now!!

April 4th, 2009 at 6:09 pm

i’ve seen that the program for the “new” instant messenger has encountered a lot of problems. When was the 9.0 version released and why wheren’t the problems worked out before hand? We do like to have a doctor tell us that a medication is going to work, only to find out that it has never been studied!

April 4th, 2009 at 6:17 pm

i don’t want yahoo “blog” on my computer ! if i want to put a “smiley” face or a dinosaur, that should be me choice what service i use.
