AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off
Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.

  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.

  3. Mult colored themes and backgrounds

    I have read from millions of users, and nobody wants to have their UI be all white or all black. And neither do I. Keep the multi-color themes and background images. Also, you can implement the backgrounds that change during the time of day and night.

  4. togliere righe bianche e grigie

    non mi piace l'alternanza di righe grigie e righe bianche per indicare le mail di giorni diversi, non mi è di nessuna utilità distinguere le mail per giorno di ricevimento, e le righe grigie fanno sembrare quelle mail come "selezionate", crea confusione, le rivorrei tutte bianche

  5. Дайте возможность откатиться назад с этого ужасного интерфейса!!!

    отсутствует выбор тем - только черное или белое, невозможно сделать плотный список заголовков, и вообще настроить все под себя. Минималисты пусть выбирают "базовый" режим!!! В режиме просмотра "по вертикали", который меня устраивает, заголовок письма в окне просмотра занимает практически все место, содержимое увидеть невозможно, там остаются несколько строк.

    Самый отвратительный из всех интерфейсов почтовых ящиков, который я только знаю. Никогда бы не выбрал яху, если бы сейчас искал где создать ящик.

  6. Hard to distinguish between read and unread mail in dark mode after recent change.

    Now the only indication in dark mode that an item has been read is the dot to the left of a message is no longer visible. It would be great if the item was black instead of gray similar to the hover action. I believe this was the case in previous versions. The class that changes when hovered is here: #Atom .j4_n:hover
    {
    box-shadow: none;
    }

    If this would happen when read that would help with readability.

    Thanks,

  7. Account ID

    I like this format, but I have 3 email address with you (1 private, 1 for subscriptions and 1 for my startup company) it would be great if the I could immediately identify which account I'm using, to avoid send an email from wrong email. As of now the email ID is at the bottom left corner and shows initials but they all have the same color and couldn't find a way to customize them in setup (change color or upload a small picture for example). Also, it might be wiser if you'd have that on the top, closer to…

  9. Please let us change the colours!!!

    I really hate the new design colours - it's all grey and I cannot have it bright and without the grey. Sorry, but it is very annoying.

  10. give more control in settings

    The settings make the entire screen go either dark or all white. I want the email box to be white so I can read colored fonts, while darkening the rest of the screen (e.g., side panels) to reduce glare and eyestrain.
    Also, thumbnails no longer appear with links, and I can't control the size of images anymore. Bring those features back, too.

  12. DO NOT CHANGE EMAIL!!!!

    Look, everyone is going to super rounded, super-childish email platforms. It's yucky, and I tried yours, it's not good, Horrible experience. Please don't change yahoo mail. I've had my email address for 25 years. Please don't make me have to change it after all this time to something that has left their email alone from all this childish stuff.

  14. Χρώματα στην εμφάνιση

    Μου άρεσε που μπορούσα να διαλέξω το χρώμα της εμφάνισης της σελίδας του email μου. Θέλω ξανά πίσω το πράσινο φόντο με τον φάρο, που είχα επιλέξει. Με κουράζει πολύ το λευκό. Δε θέλω μαύρο στην οθόνη του υπολογιστή μου. Προτιμώ ένα χρώμα λιγότερο φωτεινό και λιγότερο κουραστικό όταν εργάζομαι νυχτερινές ώρες.

  16. Add a "compact" view to the email interface

    Paddings are way too large, text is too big:
    - Around the top nav bar
    - The rows with the emails are way too large, I'd like to see more of them on my screen
    - The buttons are way too big they have too much padding

    Other issues :
    The search bar is not centered in the middle
    Hovering over the rows (emails) has an outer box shadow which feels clunky, I prefer the subtle highlights.
    The new message button is HUGE too much padding and margins

  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.
