  2. Terrible colour scheme! Please improve

    Hello, you have changed the look of Yahoo mail and now it is so hard to read on my PC that I hate it.

    Very pale grey font on a white background, makes the writing extremely hard to see, illegible, almost invisible.

    I used to have a purple background I think. Or some of the screen was purple. But either way, the font was clearly different from the background. And legible.

    Can you at least give us the option to change the colour scheme in the settings. Dark mode is not better, White letters flashing about on a black background!…

  3. Please change back to previous version - this is so unclear

    This new version is so unclear and very 'same as'. The original version of mail was so simple and was very easy for me to see exactly what was happening in my mail box. The colours are unclear, difficult to distiguish between messages, the replied arrow is unclear. There is nothing useful about this at all. I use this account for a self employed business but will probably have to change to Gmail. My other Yahoo account is personal, so not quite so important to me.

  5. use the classic yahoo mail dark grey color scheme in the new mail client

    Allow the choice of the different color and style choices from the old or classic mail client. The style choices are too harsh

  6. All white or all black!!! 😨

    All that white is killing me! So is the dark black. Please give us a choice to insert an image in the background. Or give us some themes. That will also help making Yahoo mail more personalized. Thanx.

  8. COLOR - GIVE US BACK OUR COLOR

    The White is too blinding and the Black is too dark and depressing. What made you think that dropping all color or theme options was a good idea? Do you want your brand to disappear because we will all abandon you for Google? I don't want to do that - I WANT COLORSSS.

  10. PLEASE let us kill the utility sidebar

    It literally wastes space and i have to scroll from left to right in the email reading pane just to see an actual email. and it's the actual email that i'm there for. I get enraged every time I check, which is less and less. I'm in the process of transferring all my mail to gmail because of this ridiculous decision your ux people made.

  13. Acknowledge of receipt

    I did not find the tool allowing to know that the message sent was read (i.e. acknowledge of receipt). Does it exist? Thanks

  14. Making sending an email easier

    There are 2 things that drives me nuts! One, when sending a message thru email, why can't that 'send' button be on the top??? Instead of strolling thru all the previous emails on that thread to get to the send button.

    The other, is once on the bottom, you have to open "..." to get the 'link' symbol, text, color, all of that why can't this stuff be on the top of the email????

    It is so annoying! Thanks Jan

  16. Background customizations

    I like the new yahoo mail, but wish I could customize the background/theme of my mail. Also how my mail is organized and viewed.

  17. Bring back themes!

    Bring back themes - the light mode is way too bright and dark is too hard to read. My old mode had dark around the menus etc. So half the screen is dark and only the messages are bright. It was also easier to tell read from unread. You want the unread to look more eyecatching than the read.

  20. Change folder access

    Please move your folders back to a drop down menu. It is easier to move emails to folders the old way.
