Is Yahoo Mail Falling Apart

North Coast Cab · North Coast Cab's Garage

Anyone have issues the last month or so? I have been using Yahoo Mail for 10+ years and the last month or so had tons of issues. Errors, screens not loading properly, big delays etc. Doesn't matter if it's my laptop, desktop or iPhone.

No issues for me. Been using yahoo email since 2008.

I forwarded a couple of dozen emails from my old Comcast program to my Yahoo email and they never got there. Tried twice with no success. When I select one or two at a time to forward it works, no other issues.

Yes.

They have had problems with the search indexing for a while. The android version died last week and was fixed. They forced me out of "classic" and the new version doesn't support "right thumb click back" to the inbox....it takes me to the login screen.

The latter is my biggest complaint....I browse my mail and get to it (or not) as I see fit.

Oh and on my work computer (where I'm not supposed to use it at all) it looks like html from 1992 or something.

Works fine for me. And it better - it's my primary e-mail for everything.

I've got Y mail, but I rarely use it. In my case it should be called Yahoo SPAM. I've had lots of problems with the webpage over the years. I think it's because I use Firefox.

Yahoo is my primary email for communicating with my wife (she had the account when we met and I opened an account to chat with her).

And yes... it has been running slow... and yes they changed the format...

But I can't tell if the new slow speed is yahoo or my sucky connection here at work.

Although this week it seem to be working OK.

John - I use Yahoo mail for my personal stuff and it's been slow over the last couple weeks.

Looks like their interface has went through substantial changes lately. Big upgrades going on in the back end as well?

I have been using Yahoo mail since 2000. It has been very buggy and slow lately. Yesterday for instance, I went to delete the messages in my spam box and it wouldn't let me do it. Also in my inbox if I clicked an email, it would open the email two lines down instead. Weird! Today it seems okay so far.

Agreed!

I've been using it since '97. Every new version is buggy for a while. I usually don't switch over until they force me out of the old one.
