You can delete it! I don't like it, don't want it and I never said that I wanted to upgrade. Do I have to change to another email provider?
Go back to the previous format. The new one sucks!!!

I prefer a light background with BLACK ink.
My 62 year old eyes don't want to deal with white font. Please have at least 1 choice with a black font.

You should allow people to customize their own background, by uploading pictures. Thank you for allowing me to share my opinion.

The old format was easier to read
- It's very slow. Moving the cursor back to correct an error is even slower.
- Reverse type (white on a color) is never a good idea, as each screen user gets a slightly different result.
- Sans-serif reverse type, using a thin font makes the whole page much harder to read.
- There seems to have been little user-testing. I know, I know, if it's free, the users become the beta test. This isn't working for me.

Make the search ribbon at the top of the window smaller (vertically) - why is there so much wasted space around that???

I don't care for the new format. It is very faded and hard to see. Too white and light gray.

Left side list of folders is now too narrow, hard to see my titles and find the folder I want as easily as before
Same description as above. Widen the left side frame/column or make it draggable to adjust that frame/column to a wider width.

Changes suck
This new mail theme sucks! The features behind the scenes should remain the same, no matter what version you are running. I had to upgrade to get "Filters" feature available. You give themes for color, but not enough options. So it looks sloppy. If I use IE, I get constantly popping-up script error.

We need different colours for different accounts back!!!
Seriously, why on earth would Yahoo staff decide to remove this option?? Don't they use Yahoo email themselves?? Not impressed

Too easy to open emails accidentally while ticking to select them for deletion
If you aren't 100% accurate ticking the box, it's far too easy to accidentally end up opening an email, rather than selecting it. The box needs a much bigger "catch zone" for mouse clicks
