I'm in genuine pain. MY EYES HURT! Please being Dark Mode to 'Basic' mail!
I hate the format change, and when reverting to the 'basic' version, the ability to customize the background was taken away...so I'm forced to use the BRIGHT BLINDING WHITE BACKGROUND.
IT HURTS!
I'm NOT kidding. The bright white background physically hurts my eyes. Prolonged exposure to bright light gives me headaches and causes visual issues.
I'm POSITIVE I'm not the only person in the world with this problem. leaving the white background as the only option is an accessibility issue for people for people who are visually impaired, people like myself who are sensitive to bright light, photophobia...dark mode is…

Physical Accessibility issues were totally disregarded with the redesign
The amount of new mouse use, hidden menus, multiple clicks, hunting around to find hidden features and functions is ridiculous. If yahoo wanted to make a system that caused excessive pain to the users, that has been achieved. The redesign is a disaster--and to dump it on users with no real notice of the problems coming is inexcusable. The redesign has a lot of bugs and missing functions, so it looks more like beta testing in production and all of the users are the guinea pigs. This is a rotten thing to do to your users--many who have been with…

restore to format that the "old" one, with list of accounts on the left side.
Please restore my email account to the "old" format, with the list of accounts on the left side.Abrupt changes are de-stabilizing and cause simple processes to be almost impossible.

Improved clarity for the visually disabled
There should be a on-tough/click option to delete items permanently from the home page. For instance, I could not care less about Yahoo News, I should be able to remove it from the home page to make it easier to access functions that I do want. "Trending" **** just adds to the frustration of trying to find what I want on a display that only shows me 1/1 to 1/8 of any page I view due to the magnification I need to read the text.

ALL should have been the default in the original design
Clicking back to ALL because yahoo defaults to PRIORITY constantly is a joke. It happens over 50 times an hour--every hour--when working with email. Excessive mouse use. This design blunder should never have made it to production.

Excessive mouse use, hidden menus make this redesign PAINFUL TO USE. Accessibility issues were totally ignored in the redesign
Those of us with dexterity issues find the redesign painful to use. Too much excessive mouse use, too much scrolling, too many hidden menus. replaced with useless **** that sits fixed on the screen. Priority as default--instead of all--is a blunder, as is the block of starred and contacts that take 1/3rd of the entire screen. Too many mouse over and it appears--again excessive mouse use. Prior version of mail had better accessibility. new version does not.

Please Enable Adblock programs
Adblocker is a huge disability tool for those with disabilities, especially people with ADHD and autism. It also helps many other people who are disabled or have certain issues due to certain challenges. If you need a better explanation, you can find one here:
"Advertisements are not compatible with my disability.
I'm autistic, which means I have an invisible disability. I'm pretty good at masking, so it's even more invisible, but that means I have to spend a lot more time regenerating when I'm alone, trying to regain all the energy I spend masking in public. And this is a…

dark mode
Please restore the dark mode option. I get migraines with the bright mode. This is an ADA violation which I will report (I am an attorney) if nothing is done about it by May first.

allow disabled people to post their opinion!
allow disabled people to post their opinion! i'm permanently disabled and after some anti-frump political comments, i can no longer see or post ANY comments on any article. i believe Yahoo has blocked my IP address from seeing or posting comments. isn't EVERY post on your comments just an opinion from someone? PLEASE remove the block on my commenting immediately unless censorship is OK with you.

Would like Yahoo to play a sound when I get new mail in my inbox due to being visually impaired.
By hearing a sound, it would let those who are visually impaired like myself know when they have new email coming in or when they have mail in their inbox. Especially, if they use a screen reader program on their computer to have things read to them like I do.
