All I want to do is my job which involves sending attachments. I'm not a computer engineer, tech etc...I'M A USER!!!!!!!!!! Let me use the attachment feature. Life is frustrating enough without you guys adding to all this fun. Your attachment feature is the worst! All I want to do is my job which involves sending attachments.

I hate it. I cannot express how much I want my old one back. I do not want to use Mail Classic, because it is annoying and useless. I just want the user-friendly, pleasant looking Yahoo mail I had when I signed up. The new mail looks like Gmail, to be honest, and shame on you, not only for copying them, but for thinking it looks good. I certainly appreciated the graphic intensive user interface Yahoo used to have - has it been trashed in the hope of faster site loading times? Faster loading times is a non-issue if the user interface looks crap. Take Live Hotmail as an example - it changed to a spartan, largely graphic free user interface, and what have users done? Turned away in droves. Please, please learn from their mistakes. Create a new user interface that is as pleasant as the old one. If not, please allow users the opportunity to switch back to it, as you currently do with Mail Classic.
