  1. Stop changing the theme to default every time I log in

    Stop changing the ******** theme back to a bright white background every time I log back in after changing it to a dark theme. I am sight impaired so this is annoying as **** and makes it hard to see properly. If this doesn't change then I'll have to change to somewhere else that is usable.

  2. Bring back Basic-Classic Email

    Bring back "Basic Email" Stop changing the layout. Plus you have made going back to the Basic,classic layout so hard to go back. What is your issue? Stop this push for the change. It's not broken.

  3. Old mail not working the same

    Yahoo no longer remembers my settings. I have to reset the look-n-feel settings every single time I log in. Also, the 3rd party app that I use to check for new emails no longer can access yahoo email. Please put these 2 features back.

  5. don't keep stating that there's only 1 unread message in my inbox when there are many more!

    Please allow us to choose from our photos for themes and background. The little round pictures are childish, and I prefer my OWN colors, not having to select one of yours. I only check my yahoo mail maybe once a week because of all the ads.

  6. I greatly dislike the starred and contact panel on the righthand side. It takes up too much of the page. Please make it optional

  7. Base theme settings (Light and Dark Modes for the Inbox)

    When you switched to the new version of mail, I almost changed back to the old version because it was in light mode. When updating settings, to smooth transition, keep the light setting the same in the future by user if possible. It ensures that users are comfortable with the light setting they are used to and prevents knee jerk reactions to go back to previous setting based on an arbitrary feature.

  8. Why does Mail keep resetting my background?!!

    Stop making changes! When I click on "mail" I just want to go to my email, not open as a new tab. When I get into my email I shouldn't have to keep resetting my background. Every. Single. Time. I don't know what's going on, but the changes that keep being made are annoying.

  9. Retain settings

    I liked my blue background and the way I had it set up. Now it keeps going back to white every time I open it. What a pain. I want to be able to save my settings.
