Yahoo Email

Narragansett · Mar 10, 2025

Yahoo just switched their email format, and not for the better. I am not getting mail, have no spam folder to check and the new format is terrible.

Anybody else having problems? Thank God for my mobile email. It works fine. And yes I have logged out, and back in

I hate it, too. I found the spam folder and it's not easy to do. On the left side, scroll all the way down past all the file folders and you'll see three dots (...). Click on the three dots and a drop down menu appears. One of the items is the spam folder. I sent Yahoo! a curt review of that bad design.

OK, I found it, thanks. Now on another note, if you click on the 3 dots and go to settings, you can go back to classic mail

I sent you an email telling you that, but I guess you didn't get it.

I used My Yahoo! as my homepage for many many years. Never used their mail, though. Kept columns of news feeds and a full set of my personal shortcuts on it. Several months ago they announced they were dropping the My Yahoo! as they no longer would provide the service. I gave up looking for something I could customize and made a simple html start page file, stored locally, and set my browsers to use the local file as my start page.

I just want a simpler internet experience back. No AI. No intrusions.

I had that issue and found the return to the traditional e-mail view, but on another note the Yahoo Finance I have used switched to a new format and I can't find anywhere to switch to the old style. Anyone have that issue and a solution?

My last update on my I phone went to this new e mail format. It is a confusing mess. I hate it and going to try to change it back to the old one.

Yahoo has retreated as one of the legs that built the internet, starting 30~ish years ago. Yahoo, AOL, Netscape. I have Hotmail since before Microsloth bought them.

No idea how to fix the things they have changed or turned off. It's sad to lose the continuity.

When did you all get the new email update? Like recently?

I ask because I got the update around the new year. I lasted about a day until I went back to the old format.

Yahoo email still exists? Wow.

I despise the new yahoo email format. And I've written that several times whenever they ask for comment. I'm convinced they don't care if their customers hate it.

I haven't used Yahoo mail in nearly 20 years. Didn't think it was even still around. I have a gmail address for most things and one on a private domain hosted by my son for family and close friends only.

I used an excite email address for years until that went away. I also had a cableone.net email until that got shut down as well. Once upon a time there was the aol.com and the yahoo.com emails as well as a previous cable isp address, oh and prodigy.net. before the cable emails. Lots of emails in the last 30 or so years, and that's not counting work emails.

All the above complaints and then some.

Have a heart, guys! Leaving stuff the same takes jobs away from hungry coders.

Yes, but it is still not the same in appearance as the old mail.

Same here, I looked it over close and think the old/better way is gone!

For those of you using web-based email, there is a solution. Perhaps not the simplest, but I'm happy. I use Outlook as a stand-alone client on my computer. Not their web-based Outlook. Some folks call it Look Out.

I have a lot of email addresses for various purposes on a number of servers / providers. It would be a colossal pain to go to each site via the web, log in and process email. Outlook is connected to all my accounts. IMAP or POP doesn't matter. Best of all, they all appear the same in Outlook. One client for all my email needs. It is a bit of a headache to set up with Gmail and Yahoo, but if you follow the directions it's do-able.

With Outlook as a single client, I'm not subject to the whim of one provider "improving" their interface and confounding me. Yes, Microsoft can wreak havoc and confound us. At least that appears across all my accounts, in one place. Thankfully, Microsoft doesn't mess too much with Outlook and they do support it.

Seems that many of the larger companies feel the burning need to frequently modify their applications with a new look and changing the features; they call it freshening it up.

However, it seems that the new fresh apps are designed by marketing type and programmed by kids-with-crayons that have no real sense of usefulness, only how pretty (fresh) it looks and how much they can charge.
