    About 5 pages down in these comments, there is one from Yahoo Mail Team, posted

    which I recommend everyone to read. It's HILARIOUS.
    Apparently, having colors was too much "upkeep".
    Really rich to hear something like that in year 2025. Like 20 years ago (of which the "new" look reminds me), who would have guessed this is how things will turn out?:-D

    Why can we no longer personalize the colors of our inboxes? Why on Earth would you take options to personalize away instead of adding them? Isn't that the point of "upgrades?" You created a version of your email that looks like a cheap copy of what you had before. Please bring back the color themes.

    Just go back to the previous version. Nothing else matters. We like Yahoo, not this Gmail clone you've made.

    PLEASE PUT BACK THE OLD MAIL!! these changes suck...hurt eyes to look at and is completely STUPID...making things difficult! PUT IT BACK.

    The grey background of read is so unpleasing to me. Please allow us to change this.

  • FJST commented  ·   ·  Report

    Cannot change the background color. That plain white background is boring to look at. Changing the background to different colors made the emails looks fun brighten up the page. I hate that that can't be done anymore. The "SETTINGS / Appearance" button does not work and does not have any choices to choose from to change the color.
    It's really boring! Change it back!!!! At least we had more choices to chose from!!!!

    The new version is cumbersome and doesn't look as good. I have to hunt for the UNREAD option now to bring up all my unread emails, which is very frustrating. I also would love to see some THEMES, preferably with the ability to upload our own background - the way I can do with my Gmail.

  • Rebecca Ewer commented  ·   ·  Report

    AGREE!!!!!! Please make unread emails bold and read emails unbold. Remove the grey background. It's WAY TOO DARK! So hard to read.

  • Heather kennedy commented  ·   ·  Report

    We should be able to change the color of read emails. Having them grey is beyond confusing. Please give options or change back to classic mail.

  • Lauren Girardin commented  ·   ·  Report

    These icons are distracting and offer no value. Give us a way to turn them off.

  • doris G commented  ·   ·  Report

    very few options to change appearance, new version extremely difficult to read, too grayed out, need black fonts for crisp easy to read emails and anything in the application. need better contrast, too blurred together

  • Lisa Leinweber commented  ·   ·  Report

    Allow more themes with different colors. The new version options are too hard to read especially for some of older people

  • Debra Mathias commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why can't we select/change the appearance of emails so that it's personalized? This new version is HORRIBLE! Give us back the option to return to the Classic version!!!

  • John Derrico commented  ·   ·  Report

    Color contrast, fonts, text and line spacing for all forms of the new yahoo mail UI, are poor.
    It's visually difficult to read, sort, You've made it worse and difficult to use.
    Please return ALL functions and visual items back to classic view.
    NO new distracting colors, themes, fonts, or text/line spacing. JUST the Classic.

  • Telenia Brooks commented  ·   ·  Report

    So hard and aggressive on the eyes to only have black and white.
    Staring at a computer all days makes eyes weary --- need themes back to tone done the aggressive nature of just black and white type!
    TAKING AWAY FUNCTIONALITY is NOT and upgrade -- and certainly not better!

  • Eric Sabin commented  ·   ·  Report

    Very uncomfortable on the eyes. Can you just put it back. EVERYTHING worked quite well and in a blink of an eye, with no notice it all changed and not for the better at all!

  • Tchey BP commented  ·   ·  Report

    So agree with all here. I don't think yall care. Very uncomfortable on the eye please change it back. Both black and white options hurt my eyes.

    Old view was much easier to read. PLEASE BRING BACK FULL PREVIEW OF SUBJECT LINE!

  • Garrett Killian commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why does my inbox look all gray? It makes it look like I've highlighted messages but haven't. It's unappealing.
