    Thank you for your feedback! Yes, we used to have a bunch of themes, but they were never used from our Community. More than 90% of our users kept the default theme, therefore with high upkeep and very low usage, we made the decision to not support it and keep our themes simplified.

  7. Make Classic available again.

    Accidentally updated to New Email. Can't think of one thing I prefer with New over Classic. Now I can't get back to Classic. (Old is still available but also no good.)

  9. Custom colors and themes

    I have literally been using Yahoo Mail for maybe 25 years, or perhaps even longer. And with just one move, you have stripped all the soul out of my inbox. I hate this soulless, plain white or black page. Why did you do this? You have all the resources to keep both versions available. I'm truly on the verge of losing all hope in Yahoo. Honestly. I don't complain any of the notification clutter of your website but... You shouldnt force your long-term, loyal users into this.

    Thank you for your feedback! We know our reply won't make you happy, but unfortunately there is no reverting back. Very sorry. We are EOLing the old version and only making the new one better. We decided to simplify our themes because more than 90% of our users kept the default, therefore with very low usage we decided not to support more themes and backgrounds. Thanks!

  11. Awful design of the new email for desktop. Fire the designer !!!

    Awful experience with the new layout. The right hand pane is absolutely useless and I can't remove it at all. I want to have the option to go back to the Basic Email layout, I don't like the new one.

  13. Desing for dummies: 'No email selected' info that covers half of the inbox

    Such a bad bad bad design... And the worst of all is 'No email selected' info that covers half of the inbox!!! All together the layout is not user friendly, the font is to big, the proporsions of the importat features (mails, mails, mails, mails) and the who cares features (left toolbar, adds,bolded font...) are the same!!!! They should strip the designer of their degree. Not to forget - and to fire the decision maker who thought there was a need to change anything, finally selecting this layout!!!

  15. Give us loyal subscribers the choice on the email layouts espcially since I did not request to change my preferred layout

    By forcing us to choose between the New layout that cost $ & the Basic which is very slow ans unattractive to use you force me to consider l;eaving for Gmail which is more user friendly. I did not request to change my email layout

  17. Why I can´t switch to my old Yahoo mail????

    Why this torture, why so much time lost in trying to get the simplest and the oldest version of the email??? Why again??? You already changed the design once and received just negative feedback from the users. Why again I have to deal with it??????
