“The new Yahoo. mail is last straw,”
Written on: 17/06/2013
I now have ZERO reasons to stay with Yahoo. The previous Yahoo mail was functional, easy to use, and familiar. I stayed with it until Yahoo forced me to switch to the updated mail service. WHAT a SHOCK! They actually made a new email app that is completely unusable!. It doesn't WORK! How stupid is that. Basic, common buttons (i.e "REPLY") are gone. But beyond that it just freezes up. Email is literally the most basic and the oldest app on the internet. Grade schoolers write functional... (read more)

“Sky Yahoo Mail”
Written on: 09/04/2013 by craigsmith1
Yahoo have managed to lose my account during the migration from Gmail as part of Sky's cost cutting exercise. Customers who have had their accounts migrated are receiving up to 100k historic emails that they had previously deleted, not to mention the adverts and spam. Cheers Sky. My cancellation is in the post. You and Yahoo are not to be trusted. (read more)

“SLOWER THAN THE OLD WILD WEST POST BUT LOADS OF USLESS ADS”
Written on: 21/03/2013
We are now getting a much slower service with mountains of advertisements that in no way reflect my requirement for a basic EMAIL ADDRESS I cannot believe in this most technical advances in modern history, providers make such a rubbish job of the very basics Most people want a reliable, safe Email provider. For those of this generation that require this , apps that, fastest cameras there, millions of applications. all well and good So why does it take for every email i receive i get 50... (read more)

“Latest Yahoo mail so buggy”
Written on: 25/02/2013
The latest email interface is causing me lots of problems. The most annoying is that when I click compose I get the compost panel, but you cannot enter any text anywhere. I notice that there are multiple javascript errors listed in my browser debugger. How can Yahoo release software that will not run on windows 7 and Firefox 19. Absolutely incredible. I am very disappointed with the quality of the service. Also - last year for several months the search functionality did not work also. ... (read more)

“New email system--hopeless hopeless hopeless”
Written on: 17/02/2013
I use Windows Vista and IE9. No problems with Yahoo Classic in the past. But the new system forced on Yahoo users... !!!! Try forwarding an email from your inbox. Instead of one click, it takes me about five AND TWO yes TWO entries of the intended address. (Express your dismay on "Feedback" and it'll then ask you to click to return to Yahoo Mail. You do so--and are NOT) returned to Yahoo mail. No doubt there are other faults to discover So can you escape this hopeless shambles? No way.... (read more)

“Buggy email service, worse (or worst) customer suppot”
Written on: 08/02/2013
First of all this mail service is a lot more buggier than all other email services I use. The help desk is useless. One day I was experiencing problems with yahoo mail but not with any other internet sites. I made the mistake of calling Yaoo Mail tech support. The "genius" who answered my call only asked for my name (not my email address) and my birthdate. He didn't ask me to spell my name. After saying my name wrong five times, he quickly found out "there was a visus in your laptop and some... (read more)

“Yahoo Mail”
Written on: 16/08/2012 by julianpercy70 (1 review written)
I've been using Yahoo Mail for over 10 years now and I can't say that I have ever had a problem. Ok, I only use it for personal email and therefore I only check it once a month or so, but the features always seem great and up-to-date and when I eventually got my iphone it was really easy to sync my mail account. Overall very impressed (and always have been!) (read more)

“'New' email is a disaster”
Written on: 24/09/2011
The new email which has been forced on users is dreadful. For a start it is frequently freezing up the entire browser which then has to be 'killed'. Simple functions - like inserting a line - have been removed from the previous version. Bulleted lists don't work on IE9 (or very rarely). It is extremely 'buggy' . Customer service is beyond bad, it must be automated as they just pick out some key words and send an irrelevant reply. Wish i wasn't so committed to yahoo, but may need to change... (read more)

“Worst email service I have used!!!”
Written on: 26/06/2011
Honestly The only good thing they did was add messenger to the email. But A lot of the messages will not go through. If you want to use yahoo mail to sign up for something don't. It make take hours or a day to get one email. The messenger will make your page take forever to load. The updates for your contacts is almost always down or unavailable. The only real good thing yahoo is good for is yahoo answers. Which still isn't the best because a large number of the people on their will just put... (read more)

“Just to balance the negative reviews very impressive...”
Written on: 10/01/2011
Just to balance the negative reviews very impressive service. Yes there are adverts but having all your mail in one easily searchable place, no storage limit for free is almost too good to be true. One problem I had as searching the system thew up errors earlier in the year, emailed several times to customer support and fixed after a few days. Android app is a little slow.
So much better than hotmail!!

Written on: 01/03/2010
Have used Yahoo! mail for a few years with no trouble up until the last few months when things have become very glitchy. Can't download or upload attachments at the moment. No response from enquiries to help team.
I was a big advocate & realise that sometimes things @*$# up but I'm running out of patience with their atrocious customer support. Why are communication companies so terrible at it.

I've been using Yahoo's free email service for over ten years but am now looking to use a different service. Why? Because the adverts are getting beyond a joke - not only when you log in (loads) but even when you log out, there are adverts all over the screen like the bad old days of pop-up's when you could hardly see the page for the rubbish.

Yahoo is very good except there are a lot of unwanted mails available on the click of a button.

Periodical review will help in getting various opinions of users and positive
<br/>advices can be implemented and try to include certain useful changes in other free mailers like Gmail etc. this will enable the present yahoo users to remain with yahoo.

<br/>Otherwise, i hv been using yahoo for the past more than a decade and i found it very good and i do not find even single situation of unsatisfaction any time. i will continue using yahoo in future without any doubt. I like yahoo and ofcourse millions of Indians like Yahoo mail. rather they feel it is the tradition using Yahoo. Yahoooooooooooooooooo.

I think this is the worst thing AT&T could have ever done, to connect up with Yahoo.com.
I am unable to access my originial Address Book, therefore I have no idea where all my addresses are. The site says it will transfer all messages and the address book in 5-minutes and it has yet to do that. If I don't get answers soon, I will be changing my internet service.....

Written on: 14/02/2009
Yahoo Mail was very satisfactory till recently. Lately, it has become very difficult to access mail.
Yahoo home page announces mail. When we click for mai,page goes blank with the subscript at the bottom left ,saying "Done". No further response.
Good points are easy to insert addresses during composing, option of alphbetical address arrangement is a great boon and choice of font, color, size is helpful.

My very first email is from Yahoo, and I'm still using it until today. Although it's used to be spam-free (all emails were), but I'm pretty satisfied with yahoo's spam protection. I'm not really a big fan of the beta version though because when my connection is slow, it takes a while to load. I'm using the yahoo classic mode, well recommend www.mail.yahoo.com! (read more)

The design of Yahoo Mail is great, looks cool and simple and easy to navigate around, never got lost (which is quite surprsing for me).
In my opinion, and I dont know if its just because of my computer not loading other Email address sites slowly but Yahoo Mail seems to be much quicker at loading pages, emails, options... Everything!
The Spam blocker, in my experience, is much more sufficient than any other email address site I have used in the past. When I switched from MSN Mail to Yahoo I...

Easy to use, its free, lots of storage space.
Great for general stuff - the only email that I have never had any spam issues with is gmail and hotmail. As far as dependability, hotmail beats yahoo hands down. Gmail has been down less frequently, but I have not been using gmail exclusively. www.mail.yahoo.com gets hit by someone or is offline at least once a week.

Yahoo is very acessible, user friendly in keeping all you information until you decide to delete it. I really like the free service it provides, with the ability to email, and hold as much space, without getting you to purchase more. It really makes you want to give them more business because of the way they do business two thumbs up.

I agree with you 100% I'm really fed up I can no longer access the easy to use faster Classic version. All the familar buttons are gone the system is so much slower and freezes, and I've noticed when I do a reply on a mail the cursor keeps going to the bottom of screen. Hate it hate it hate I am definately going to look for another provider
