  2. NEW EMAIL AND UNREAD IN DARK MODE HARD TO DIFFERENTIATE

    In the new version of Yahoo Mail, any read and unread messages in dark mode are so hard to differentiate. It was better in the older version.

  6. Appearance

    The WHITE appearance is too bright. The Dark Appearance is too dark. I have trouble seeing which e-mails have not been opened because the colors are too similar. How about a gray or medium level?

  10. LET ME GO BACK TO CLASSIC MAIL

    What gives you the idea that everyone wants this new mail.
    There are over 10,000 people in the forum asking to go back.
    Take the hint.
    Give us Classic Mail. New layouts should be OPT IN, not opt out.
    Treat your customers and users with more respect.

  11. Need the themes in the new version too

    I loved the new Yahoo inbox look but I still prefer being able to choose from the various themes in the old version and give my personal touch. The new inbox looks like a rented unit the old felt like my home. Please see if you can add the themes-like thing in the new setup. Thanks

  12. More Customization please

    Allow us to customize the color or allow themes like Yahoo mail used to. When I have several accounts using my laptop (teens for example) it's nice to tell when you accidently opened one of their email pages when they haven't logged/signed out. Just keeps it organized.

  13. Верните интерфейс, который был несколько лет назад или дайте возможность его выбирать!

    Вы сделали крайне неудобный интерфейс: лишили возможности выбирать цветовую тему, уплотнять список писем, куча места пропадает и нет возможности его уплотнить, на предпросмотр остается совсем мало, даже если расширить окно до максимума (но тогда в списке писем всего четыре строки) - все крайне неудобно, и я к такому никогда не привыкну, не надейтесь! Базовый интерфейс - вообще без предпросмотра, еще хуже. У вас был оптимум несколько лет назад, верните!!!
    Ни за что не порекомендовал бы сейчас ваш сервис. А несколько лет назад было все хорошо.

  16. How can you improve the New Yahoo Mail? Like this: let me go to the old view.

    That's unfaire and very client unfriendly to eliminate (or hide deep underground?) the possibility to switch to the old view. I hate the New Yahoo Mail, but cannot switch to the old one. This possibility is eliminated. Very bad of Yahoo.

  18. NEW VERSION OF YAHOO

    My idea is... to go back to the old version of Yahoo right away...
    It was perfect; now it's completely confusing.
    You're going to lose a ton of customers, believe me!!

  20. In Dark Mode, links in a mail's text are not highlighted in color

    In Dark Mode, links in a mail's text are not highlighted in color, but in the same color as the rest of the text.

    Links which are not underlined are not recognizable as links.
