Yahoo's Email Mess

 "In Yahoo! Mail, we all FLOAT !



Email #1
If I send an email to Joe Doakes, who is on the contact list as "Doakes" with the address "jdoakes.doakes.com", then the email appears in the SENT folder as "me...Doakes".

So far, so good.

Email #2
If Doakesie replies, it shows up in the INBOX as "Doakes...me".

Email #3
If I reply back, this time the latest email - my reply back to Doakes or email #3 - appears in the SENT folder as "me...me", for all the world as if I an emailing myself.

Furthermore, the Doakes reply - email #2 - to which my email #3 is a reply is now changed in my INBOX to "me...me"  !!

Again, for all the world as if I am emailing myself.

Now try going back and finding emails from Mr. Doakes!

Why do Tech companies think they must justify their existence or their charges by continually re-inventing the wheel?
For pete's sake, it's email! Leave it alone as it was when we could understand what was going pon, before all your "improvements".

YAHOO's Email Is Awful!

YAHOO's email was updated and made shiny and brand-new a couple of months ago, and it is absolutely awful.

It does not have sorting by name of sender, if you can believe that.
Furthermore, trying to track threads of emails is horribly difficult. I cannot believe they tested this mess. I have never gotten used to it, and I do not think that has ever occurred before for me and my computers.

YAHOO... fix it, or I go to Gmail!
