Less Functionality Than Old Version. Can't Drag A

Less functionality than old version. Can't drag and drop attachments. Can't save emails to folders. It's like going back to an older version. What are they thinking?!

Unreliable-you Will Lose Critical Data

The games Yahoo plays denying access to your accounts, as they try to accomplish more and more privacy invasion as google copycats. They would be novel to leave the original platform alone protecting privacy. I have lost critical records in my mortgage communications with their careless upgrades dumping data. Stay far away from Yahoo..you cannot trust them. They are sloppy.

New Version Of Yahoo Email Is Terrible

Update my yahoo email and now it is terrible. Have to wait for the mail to come in even after notification says you have mail when I open my mail it has to reboot or something before my mail appears and then they got all the adds flashing distracting you from reading important emails and now some bs about changes to policy’s ain’t doing it . Any thing from yahoo send it to the spam folder. This is getting stupid

Hey yahoo why you trying to reinvent the wheel like a dumby old mail worked fine the new is the worst ever and with the stuff y’all say is coming next it’s going be even worse. Email is for communication between parties that want to communicate not for adds

Unpredictable Performance, Arrogant Yet Poor Support.

We've been a paid business email client for years. Yahoo has had it moments but never before have we experienced such a consistent period of unpredictability.

Without changing settings on our clients we can receive anywhere from dozens of repeated inbound emails to nothing. Our MS Outlook and mobile email applications periodically receive extensive hours of invalid credential responses while trying to send or receive mail or seemingly log in to show no waiting messages even though logging in via their website shows waiting unread emails.

When contacting support about these issues they produce the typical customer service script of check your settings, read these help pages or other mindless hoops obviously not appropriate for the encountered problem. Many of their 'help' pages are no longer valid - some produce 404's...

In all cases they don't acknowledge they've changed something on their email server side that requires users to make adjustments - let alone inform customers ahead of time about mandatory changes.

Lastly, in trying to work with other customers on their forums they have 'managers' that arrogantly copy and paste 'answers' - read: generic support scripts - and simultaneously mark the thread answered and their response as 'best'.

And, for those who are trying to judge what is happening you'll get a false image: Once a thread gets to a certain length, they DELETE IT so others researching the forums about problems will never see how extensive the issues are.

Regular Data Requests Despite Their Data Breaches!

The cheek of this company, the hacking issues with Yahoo are well advertised on the internet and on my login page. Annoyingly they ask for my telephone numbers, mobile and landline, on a regular basis claiming, with what can only be described as fear mongering, it is to avoid being locked out of your account! Well what about the security questions is that not their job? The request for data is unnecessary, an invasion of privacy and really with all the hacking problems at Yahoo, can they be trusted with telephone numbers? More over, why do they want the numbers? Sick and tired of Yahoo and started to move my accounts over to GMX.

Password Paranoia

Yahoo continuously bothers users to change passwords and now is forcing people to change them or loose account access. They have no right to dictate what my pw is nor if or when I change it. so I will leave yahoo and find another email provider so I can keep track of my pw.

Yahoo Is Hacker Heaven

My yahoo account has been hacked too many times. I had trouble just today it got hacked 6 times every time i changed the password someone took it over the last time today i did get to delete all my contacts and my personal info. I will never ever use that sorry site again. Easy for hackers to take your account and use for nasty pictures, Hard for you to get it back you have to prove who you are so how is someone else able to change your password so quick but not take off your contact info. GET BETTER PEOPLE WORKING FOR YOU.

Average Free Email Service

(This review is for Yahoo Mail in the US) I've been using my free Yahoo email account for over 20 years now for online shopping and casual contacts. I don't use Yahoo Mail for family & serious contacts because the spammers love to spam Yahoo Mail to death as it's easier to hack into the Yahoo accounts and to obtain Yahoo email addresses than other email service providers. I normally received well over 100 spam emails in the Spam folder of my Yahoo Mail account daily. Thanks to Yahoo's great spam filter, I rarely saw any spam email in the Inbox folder. I saw only one or two spam emails in a couple of month in the Inbox folder and I always reported them to Yahoo. The web interface was often very slow and/or unresponsive so I used MS Outlook email client and my cell phone to send/receive Y emails and that even helped stop the spam emails 100%. There are many other free email service providers that are better than Yahoo such as GMail, Outlook/Hotmail so I would use those for my personal & serious contacts. The Yahoo Mail, in my opinion, is good only for online shopping and unimportant contacts where I expected to be spammed by the trash-bags.

For a long time I have been unable to use my email. How can I release my email?

Who in the yahoo organisation thought to make such change and then run silent to all inquiry? I would like to send them the message that this is something they must immediately change. Does anyone else have the same thoughts?
