    Hi Victoria, we currently have no plans in moving Settings. Data shows our Community rarely go to Settings. Perhaps once in awhile or when there's a new design. Since it's barely used, we currently have no plans in moving it. Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

  7. Font options

    need to be able to change default font and font size. Old yahoo was better and easier to read

  9. Background Text and Emojis

    Please bring back bold text and other personalizations. These are basic text needs and should not have disappeared also backgrounds to help remember which account I am in and to help brighten the day, other providers have these and more options. I will consider leaving if no changes are made.
    Thanks

  17. Too Many Features

    I would like to revert to the old Yahoo Mail...the new version is not user friendly. Too many messages are sent to Trash without my consent. Terrible.

  19. Slightly Greyed out Read emails

    I don't think it is enough to have unread emails with bolded text and read email normal. On desktop at least, there should be more contrast at a glance between read and unread emails. Make the whole line greyed out for emails that have been opened and read, even if it's slightly so. Just like with previous versions of yahoo, like other email services do in their UI.
