Yahoo e-mail format change...!

Uhg! Yahoo in their infinite wisdom felt the need to "upgrade" the mail format. It is absolutely horrible!! I had no choice in this... they just did it on their own.

I guess I will have to get used to it... not more mail tabs at the top which was very convenient. Just venting... beware that it is coming down the pike for any yahoo users here.
  • Just because you've chosen Yahoo mail (or Gmail for that matter) for your email provider doesn't mean you have to use their web page to access your mail. Why not access your mail using a third party email client like Thunderbird or Windows Live Mail?

    I have a Yahoo email address that I don't use 'cause I don't like it but it's free' How do they get our money?
    It's called number of eyes. That's where the ads come in.
  • The solution to which I refer in post #3 worked for me to return my e-mail back to what I am used to... so I am good (for now at least.)

  • The new Yahoo mail looks an *awful lot* like Gmail, but I guess that's no surprise since their CEO was employee #20 at Google.
  • Seems like Yahoo is determined to shoot themselves in the foot multiple times. I used to use My Yahoo as one of my home pages, but they changed it all around and it is truly horrible now.

    Now I use Google News instead. I liked My Yahoo because I could have multiple weather sites on the page, and they did away with that. And nowhere do they have a place to voice your opinion on the change, or if they do it is well hidden.

    Oh well, buh bye Yahoo.
  • Found some a solution:

    click the GEAR (top right) and select "Settings".
    Select "Viewing Emails". There, first turn OFF the "conversations" and click SAVE.
    See if that helps. For many, it does.

    If not, return there, scroll to the bottom and click BASIC and SAVE.
  • Thanks for info. I thought I was the one that screwed it up.
