  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. Complaint Regarding Yahoo Mail Interface Changes

    Dear Yahoo Support,

    I am a long-time Yahoo Mail user and a paying customer who recently purchased additional storage space.

    After recent changes to Yahoo Mail, the interface I had used for years has disappeared. The previous layout was much more comfortable, easier to read, and more suitable for my daily use.

    The new interface is difficult for me to use, and I can no longer find the appearance options and themes that were previously available. I especially miss the ability to customize the look and feel of my mailbox.

    I would like to know:

    Is it possible to restore…

  4. Remove the right hand panel: "Starred" "Contacts" "More".

    This panel is not needed. It encroaches on the email list in a reduced screen. Since it appeared there is no way for me to switch it off.

  5. Themes - dark is too dark (cant read) and light light and washed out

    Where has the customisable theme or colours gone. The two offered and not fit for purpose. The dark is way to dark (black) and light is too bland and lacks contrast.

  7. Do NOT change settings

    I am a tech guy in cybersecurity and so this is not coming from someone who is unfamiliar with how change management of software updates work.

    Your latest update CHANGED my personal settings to CONVERSATION for email linking. I HATE that setting and yet your update to my yahoo email account (.att address) changed it without my permission.

    My "Idea" is that you leave PERSONAL SETTINGS ALONE when you make UI/design updates to the web portal.

    Your "enhancements" led me to accidentally delete an ENTIRE EMAIL threads (which is why I have ALWAYS DISABLED the 'conversation' setting) as a result…

  8. 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.
