Differentiation Between Unread and Read Emails
It is much harder to differentiate between unread and read email. The background color for read emails should be a higher contrast tot he unread ones.

Colour scheme for light does not make sense. Once a mail has been read it is highlighted in grey, they stand out more than the unread ones. Unread ones should be grey with bold text, read ones in plain white, standard text

Ditch the Grey background. IT MAKES IT DIFICULT TO READ.
To be honest I don't know why you have to change things. You get things right then make a mess. -

Please create the option to show read emails WITHOUT the grayed-out look - just un-bold it like before. A white background is cleaner and easier on my eyes. When it's not a white background, I feel disorganized. A grayed-out email is difficult to spot when I am looking for a specific email. If this isn't changed soon, I may need to go back to the old email. (I would prefer not to because with this one, I can finally underline words.)

please get rid of the horrible grey shading of read messages! I can't stand what this does to my experience. This is my second note because it bothers me so much. I have NOT gotten used to it.

when I look at my inbox, the distinction between READ and UNREAD messages is not clear enough. need more visual (like the old blue circle I think, or more highlight difference). I rely on looking at unread vs read on the same time to scan the inbox. its just too similar.

Can't tell read from unread. Graphics not obvious. I don't like your new format!

Hi
I started using the new interface. It's a bit disappointing at the beginning but there are new nice features and I globally like it.What still hurt and I do not like like it is the UI of the inbox which affect the UX and my efficiency .
> Unread message : light gray
> Read message : gray
I would do the opposite ... having all the rows in gray is not pleasant , uncommon ,....> selected message / line in the grid : remains gray ( not specific colour syntax to clearly highlight the selected row )
There is this new a little blue / violet shape color in front on the row , but that's too subtle and not pleasant / efficient when scrolling , deleting messages ,,,,I tried to get used to it , but after 2 days I feel that's less efficient than before or compared to other mail boxes ( outlook , gmail ..)
I'm pretty sure it's not only a personal feeling / perception.
A little rationalisation / improvement of the UI/UX part would make this new version fantastic.
At least being able to choose the background colour of the "read / unread / selected" messageBest Regards

With the new Plus, I can't tell which emails are read or unread. That NEEDS to be fixed. I can't find anything in settings that allows me to set this up.

Is it possible to get rid of the gray haze over the new inbox? It's the "light" option for those of us who might have trouble seeing, and yet there is a shade of gray over the top of the words. Makes no sense.

In the old version of Yahoo Mail, I would see emails for the current week, email from the prior week (this may have been each week for the current month), then prior month, and prior years. I really liked this view by age. Now, I find it more challenging to navigate.
I also dislike the color scheme. The old version had greater contrast between read and unread. I've tried using light versus dark presentation. Neither is helpful. Can you please restore the prior color scheme.

I don't like the gray background on my messages. I tried light mode and device mode and it's' still gray. It's hard for my old eyes to use it.

Please remove the grey shading of read messages. This is not a good user experience. I intensely dislike looking at the grey shading, and I also find myself not being able to quickly navigate my inbox due to disorientation. There is no need for such an overwhelming visual experience.

contrast between read and unread is barely discernable. messages are too far apart in list view. desktop version.

The light theme is really bad in terms of contrast ratio. When composing or replying to an email, it is hard to see where the division horizontal rules are. This makes it very difficult to distinguish the recipient field from the subject field from the message text.

Layout of new email is HORRIBLE. There's almost nothing to differentiate one email from another, making it nearly impossible to quickly review new emails without opening every single one. Previous (classic) version was much easier to see and use. Please, do something to improve the look of this "new" version of Yahoo email. Please.

The grey background, after you read an email, sucks. Please give an option to keep this white.

the gray highlighted background for priority emails are hard to read. Please allow an option for white background for priority emails.

Please remove the gray lines on my emails in the inbox. I would prefer all my messages to be white instead of gray, wtih the ads being white. It makes me feel like all my emails are highlighted.

I can't barely distinguish new emails coming in (unread) vs emails I already read from the list.
Could you please increase the text boldness to 650-700 font weight at least? Maybe, set the background-color to something like: #8d6bb433? to make it slightly pop-up more?Thank you!
