And the new Junk is AUTOMATIC!…two year olds are complaining too: not just us, the sixtysix year olds
Well, Outlook does function…yahoo does NOT!
I am afraid some Yahoo staff got the Boot, and went to Google for work. Google is getting exactly like Yahoo when it started sucking…at least Blogger is!!! Must be anepidemic…lets get the Guillotine back at work!!!
Jesus! We are BETA guinea pigs, now! Great change…for the worst!!!
I also hate the loads of ads my browser has to load before I can even take a sneak peek at my email.
I get more spaam than before-somewhere t is not filtering out
I want to send an e-mail from Microsoft word but I need to put info about my server.(don’t know where) anyway..yahoo says I need to buy the mail service in order to do that
Run a cleaner – temp files and registry and it will get rid of the yahoo pop up. the address bar has an “m” in it. It’s a hack
I feel the same way as 90% of the commets. I like the old yahoo. Especially for those of us who just use computer to keep in touch or search. I also am looking for a site to change to. It’s been more then a few months
I agree totally with this one
I agree, I am sooooooooo tired of yahoo. It used too be so great. Now I’m beging kicked off, and having to resign in contsantly, I’m losing stuff. They switch my page around. I’ve been fished. I hate change, but am looking for another web site, I can keep up with and understand.
I hate the new yahoo give me back the old one and my contact list where I can see my contacts and there address at the same time.
PLEASE GIVE ME BACK MY OLD YAHOO
hello people at Yahoo Mail and have a good new year
I reported via your feedback system a serious technical problem regarding the creation of new @rocketmail and perhaps @ymail addresses.
Please do not ignore it.
What ever you have done with this new email program “GET RID OF IT”.. GO BACK TO THE WAY IT USED TO BE,, I HATE IT !! every time I open up my mail I get this invite thing that will not STOP.. PLEASE GET IT OFF THERE !!!!!!!!
Yahoo became my default Email several years ago when I was traveling around the world on business. It was simple and worked anywhere I could get a connection. The new bells and whistles are sometimes confusing and not really necessary for someone who wants an Email program with working attachments and a contact list. Since the new changes have started to come I have set up a Gmail and will start switching as I add new contacts. GOOD BYE Yahoo
Well Marshall, Bottom line is yahoo is a mess and as “Loyal” as I am by nature after many years with yahoo I like many others simply at this point can’t take it anymore. They started this whole mess over a month ago and there are people who still can’t use important functions of their mailbox for various reasons and like myself have been forced to move on and put loyalty aside.
Gmail is more then alright and it’s easy to use and more importantly reliable ! Yahoo obviously underestimated the value of an easy to use system. To make matters worse the so called “New Yahoo” crap just don’t work and the problems and dissatisfied users are getting bigger and worse by the day. They are destroying their own company and so far refuse to admit the whole thing has been a disaster that still can;t be fixed. They need to put their ego’s and pride in their pocket for now and chalk this whole disaster up to experience and at the very least allow the choice if someone want’s certain features or not.
And then and only then can they begin to get any of us back on their site. If my yahoo was working at more then a snails pace I’d have all my mail and files moved to gmail by now. So it will take a little longer then I would like but eventually I’ll be completely gone from yahoo.
Yahoo has made a giant blunder and they need to stop and turn it around before they loose their entire client base.
I used to think that the Microsoft deal was a bad idea. Now I just feel that Yahoo! is so aimless that it probably should have happened. Change for the sake of change or for trying to keep up with the Jones just brings headaches. It seems Yahoo! is losing core fans and converting no one with all their vapor-words-ware and ad-obtruse-ware. Things that used to work no longer do in exchange for promised better sometime in the future. Now though, it seems as if Yahoo is in one giant site-wide alpha phase. Thankfully there’s Google. I’ve ended everything that I can, but you got me, somethings are just too ingrained into my social networks. Loyal because I have to. Great work guys.
It just amazes me that most of what I have read here I have sent to Yahoo in emails!!
Why is it that when it’s NOT broke, somebody has to try & fix it??
Why can’t they have it so if ya don’t wanna change, ya don’t have to??
I agree, I have had nothing but problems with this new program & I HATE it!!!! I just want to go to my email, write my email & send it.
As far as the spam filter, it ain’t working for me & I have it set to where I should not be getting 5-8 spam emails A DAY!!
I’ve been with Yahoo, like one of them I read, so long, I can’t remember how long & most of the time, I really loved it, but after this last one, I don’t know. I’ve got gmail already, might change there completely.
Okay, there’s my 2 cents or more like 10. :-)
its there….when you go to the top, by your name it says offline,invisible,avaliable,busy pick one if u pick avaliable or invisible, ur IM will show up on the side saying whos on then, click there name and a tab will appear in ur email thats where u IM
This is the same problem as with changing the profiles. The vast majority of your clientele do not want this change. We want the bots gone, something akin to user rooms, alies profiles and the rest the way it was. If you want to add in some bells and whistles fine but ‘open and social’ should not mean ‘violation of privacy and rights’. Please stop messing with the only good IM and chat client out there. People don’t want it, give us what we had.
I agree totally with Todd & Dorothy. How do I get rid of all this rubbish? I haven’t got time to remove all this every time I go into my mail. Yahoo.please remove this new “improved” mail business or I will switch to Gmail completely.
I think YMail is past the point of luck…. and I agree with you completely Stu. You are spot on.
I’m not surprised by anything that YMail does or does not do anymore.
YMail is becoming the Myspace of email… and that’s a real shame.
I opened a gmail address to communicate professionally. I think the first comment says it all by saying, “I am 11 and I love it”. “Oh my gosh”, you guys; there is a professional world out here that you could market as well! Good luck.
I have a problem with junk mail also, I don’t want to look at my mail and find other things in here that I DO NOT WANT. Please do something about it. It is very stupid to go and see other emials in there and have to delete, come on get it right or i am going some where else.If you want to keep me make it right and fast. PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS FIX IT PLEASE.
why can’t i be an beta tester?i have gave my adress but its’ dont work
Why is it?
When you have a simple mail program that works as a ‘mail program’ some idiot have to add more crap on it?
I suppose they hire these people to “improve” on the product.
Ya know what’s needed and they WILL NOT do it?
A “white list”!
What’s a white-list?
It’s a few lines of codes added to the program that WILL NOT ALLOW anything come to your mailbox unless YOU permit it by putting that address on your LIST… that’s why it’s called a ‘white-list’.
Ya know, in a single day you can WIPE OUT ALL SPAMS!
However, yahoo makes money on useless filters they want you to buy.
None works.
WHITE LIST work!
I setup a webmail like Yahoo in the past, and NOT ONE “unwanted’ mail ever came to anyones box in 9 months !
If I can do it without any real programming knowledge and under $300 USD for the whole thing, why can’t this Billion dollar company do it?
Money.
That’s why.
All their ‘filter sales’ would dry up in a single day.
Write and complain and mention the WHITE-LIST function.
Do a search on the net for white-list and see other webmails have it.
There is NO spam in those.
I really doubt if they will ever take user’s response seriously, but you can try as I do here. Maybe someone will read it.
Why do you say that?
That will be great.If you can add facebook and twitter to inbox it will be great.Those are my social networks next to wordpress,flickr and xoopit.Keep up the good work.
I love the new applications beta. While at the moment none of the applications really apply to me, the step is in the right direction. I would like to see applications for Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn, and Xanga. Additionally, I think this move is one closer to returning my RSS feeds to my inbox. I think this new feature has a lot of potential.
It is nice because if users don’t want apps, they don’t have to install any. Whereas, those users who like the added functionality, can add future apps to their hearts content.
However, I will say I think the whole idea of connections is a little worthless. I regularly stay on top of spam, so the only e-mail that gets delivered to my inbox is the mail I want.
Great job yahoo! keep up the good work!
I was just added to the beta, I have the connections in my inbox, but none of the apps are there. Pretty much worthless right now…
You guys beat all, you know that? The link at the above actually SAYS ‘oops’ in it. What?? It’s been that way for two days. It STILL says that, and takes you to 404-city. Anyone still there? I give up.
Leave my email alone, you are always trying to give us junk. I only write to friends and I don’t need to have them connected. I also have bought Norton Security, don’t get junk mail. If it is going to be changed let me know, I want to get off of Yahoo, and go somewhere that I can rely on. No one wants your lame ideas!!!!
How did you get rid of the ad?
I agree with what Richard said. Just keep what works working. I also have had problems with Yahoo.
Simpler is better. Lets keep it easy to use. Grandkids and ole people like it that way. Just sit down and email. If you want flashy stuff go to the other junk companies. Keep Yahoo good and easy to use.
Well! Is one to believe that only the complainers bother to post anything here, and those with good results keep quiet? Or is it really a bad thing and we should all be switching to gmail? I myself have had minor problems with all of them, proxy mail servers included, so am not complaining specifically about this one.
Please don’t junk up my e-mail with ‘free apps’. I use e-mail for . . . . .E-MAIL. I don’t chat, I don’t porn, I don’t pwn, I don’t swap, I don’t download. Every computer I ever bought had tons of ‘free apps’, they were the first to be deleted. If Yahoo junks up my e-mail anymore, I will switch to another e-mail
Yahoo mail search functionality in my primum account stoped working a month ago. I can not find most recent 08 emails in any of the folders. Support said “Our Engineering Team has determined that there is not an immediate fix for this issue, and they are continuing to work on the resolution.” It has been over a month. Does Yahoo Mail Team understand that core features like search can not be left unresolved with no ETA?
Does anybody else have problems with attachments being corrupted?
I have over 200 users with POP accounts with Yahoo and we have noticed over the last month that excel, word and pdf attachments are corrupt when trying to open.
I just un-installed Internet Explorer because of the new problems from Tuesday. I downloaded Firefox 3.0. Now I have headaches I never had before and I don’t think they have anything to do with Firefox. I have had a Yahoo! e-mail acct. since I can remember, but I’m finding out that my G-Mail acct. is much easier to use. And I just became informed that I’m not the only one having Yahoo! problems after I just read all these comments. Very disappointing. Thank God Microsoft didn’t complete the Yahoo! deal. Can you imagine what a mess that would have been? I can’t imagine, the scope is way to large!!!
So, I am reading nothing but problems with yahoo, whether its with apps or emails. I am debating on if I should transfer to gmail completely or give yahoo another chance after the chance I gave it before and before that and before that.
Stop trying to be cool and make yahoo like outlook with look and function.
whoever got the smart idea to change the mail browser should be fired!!
when it opens up, i don’t want to see some ad!! i haven’t seen a single thing about the new mail that is better, infact its worse!!! and not being able to use the old one sucks! what a trick! the bait and switch idea!
where is the chat on the new mail? i don’t see the word chat at all !
i got rid of the ad, first thing! how about some more space for attachments, the limit is 10 mb now, how about video e-mailing? now that would make it better. or if the program would ring like a telephone, and i could call your computer directly. it better be good, real good ! before i would pull another stupid one like this one!!
Cannot sign up with a yahoo.co.uk email address. :( Says ‘Please enter a valid email address’. No beta testing for UK users? :(
I’m entering my Yahoo email address and getting a window asking me to enter a valid address. Is this not available to people with a yahoo.co.uk email?
No, it’s not April 1st.. Look over to the right. You can sign up as a beta tester.
Check the box next to “I agree with all this, and I still want to be a Beta tester!” Enter your Yahoo! Email address and click on “Submit.”
Huh? that URL is an oops page (look at the link).
It’s not April 1st, is it?
Yahoo mail down somewhere around 3-4 AM CST. I can’t remember exactly since I switch immediately to Gmail to send important email. What happen guys??
So let me get this straight, your “open” applications are available via a closed beta. I really think you guys need to find out what open means.
Why are we having frequent problems lately that Yahoo website is not accessible? I now have to apologise to a cousin in another part of the world that his birthday wishes are late – because Yahoo was down. Please take into account that not only Americans use this facility, but also people in Australia, South Africa, New Zealand. Different time-zones e-mailing each other. If this continues, you will lose us.
Oh my gosh! I am 11 years old but still from what I know about this yahoo mail thing it is GREAT! You should all try it.
