How can we improve New Mail?

← New Mail

The old format was easier to read

  1. It's very slow. Moving the cursor back to correct an error is even slower.
  2. Reverse type (white on a color) is never a good idea, as each screen user gets a slightly different result.
  3. Sans-serif reverse type, using a thin font makes the whole page much harder to read.
  4. 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.

    Sans serif fonts are essential to dyslexic users. Favorite fonts: Courier New, Arial and (occasionally) Times New Roman.

    Next, light fonts on dark backgrounds are useful for users who are not in a bright room. (Nocturnal people tend to prefer dark backgrounds. I prefer monochrome-green font on black, for ease of reading.) That said, those backgrounds should be solid color, not hazy pastels: BLACK, not grey. And fonts should be equally contrasting. (That said, when email browsers originally had a white background 20 yrs ago, we all rallied to get off-white backgrounds at the very least so we didn't need sunglasses to read our email!)

    Should be pretty easy for the interface to be set BY THE USER between a white or black background... with a separate setting for the default color of the font.

    Reverse type (white on black or another dark color) is very valuable for some users, particularly the visually impaired.

    I hate to accept your "New" (???) Privacy and Terms all the time!
    Have I mentioned it already? :) Of course I have. If you ask me to accept it again, I will repeat to ask you again.

    I have problems reading my e-mails because the text is so small. How can I increase the size of the text to make it more visible? I wear glasses and it is too hard to read my text messages. The OLD format was not as hard to read.
