I've been using Yahoo for emails for about 25 years, have two addresses, one for personal stuff, one for stuff just relating to the house/utilities.
Over the last week , the format/display has changed, it's neither clearer or easier to look at or read the messages and some of the other options relating to spam etc seem to have disappeared.
Any one else found this, is it time to use a different email provider (outlook or gmail) or can i revert to the old layout?

I am a copy/paste of yourself 
I've spent 26 years using two Yahoo accounts (personal & spam) and absolutely HATE the new layout some presumably <25yo hipster dude straight out of university has designed and the befuddled boomers in charge have signed off without ever using it.
Who the sodding hell wants to open their Inbox, the MOST IMPORTANT bit of anyone's email programme, and then wants half the unread emails in there to be automatically hidden because they're not considered as "primary" by Yahoo's programmers BEFORE you've even seen them and can choose for yourself, forcing me (1st world problems I know) to have to open my inbox, and then click on the "All" tab because thats not the default one and can't be altered.
Sometimes I absolutely despair with the "ens
tification" of modern life where tech "should" be making everyone's life easier but is instead making the simple things much worse with no option to reverse or request from the customer to change things in the first place.
If I didn't have so much of my life online linked to these two addresses I'd quit Yahoo in a heart beat, but 26 years of being on the web means there's literally hundreds of things I don't even remember signing up for but are still useful in the background (logins to forums etc)| and only remind me to resubscribe etc via my yahoo account ,so I'm kind of stuck sadly, as starting a whole new "internet life" with a new set of emails whilst also keeping the yahoo ones open in case an old thing suddenly pops-up already feels draining before I start!
