The current color coding (Grey = unread, Black = read) is *exactly backwards*. My eye is drawn to the black and not to the grey.

Please reverse this or give me the option to do so.

Much thanks.

What's up with that awful greyed-out look of 'read' messages? Quite frankly, it's depressing. Please go back to making unread messages bold-face. That's all that's needed!

We know Ads are important to you, but that big old island on the right for Ads is a waste of space. Give us more room for messages and more lines for message preview. Sometimes we want to see the content of those emails without opening them, especially when they are spam.

Why is Yahoo! so lazy when it comes to editing and customizing messages? We want more options for font styles and colours, alignments, indents, spacing, and scripts.

And, how about multiple emails/pages being opened simultaneously for multi-tasking purposes?

We want to be able to toggle and customise the size of the navigation pane. And, the same with the message window, and the big old island for Ads.

Some third-party app add-ins would be useful for productivity. Yahoo! can become a sort of one-stop shop, much like Outlook.

It seems wrong at the moment that read messages have grey background and unread messages white background. To me it seems more logical as the other way around. The dark theme has it right with grey as unread and black as read.

As above - I find it really difficult to read the list of messages with the grey background ... and there is no way to remove it. The old version was much clearer

While there is a lot that I like about the new Yahoo email, there are two things that I find very visually distracting and it's make me crazy. 1. Is there a way to NOT gray out messages that have been read and do it the same way it was in the old Yahoo email? 2. Is it possible to opt out of the colored circles with the 2 letters next to the email header?
Thank you!

Please change back to the old style where unread emails were in bold and were marked. The new theme makes it hard to visually tell which emails are unread.

For example if you are using top-view and all emails are either read or unread in the current position, there is no indicator as to whether they are all read, or all unread.

Arguably the read style (black, when using dark mode) looks more like it should be unread, than the unread style (gray when using dark mode)

There is no difference in font boldness, and no mark next to the emails to indicate whether they are read.

It is simply awful to use. Thanks.

The read messages in grey are difficult to read. The style before with the bold letters was easy to see which message was read and which was not. I can't even see the starred ones which makes it difficult to find the important messages. Is it possible to change that?

I do not like how my messages are all in grey now. I have no idea whats read or not. Maybe you should ask if we want our experience ruined.

I've tried the 3 different modes. There is not enough contrast to see if a message is unread or not. The old yahoo mail had other colors, like purple. Made it much easier to read.

Greying out read items is still dizzying and of little value. Boldface v. normal text was easier to read and decipler

It’s hard to distinguish between read and unread emails in both themes. Could you make them easier to tell apart?

There's only two appearance modes: light or dark. Dark is too dark, light is too bright. Also grey background colour to distinguish read from unread is unnecessary when you bold unread messages in a darker black. We don't need two contrasts it just competes with each other.

The new display method for the inbox is extremely confusing and difficult to read. At a glance, it is not clear what is "read" vs "unread".
Shading is not the appropriate method to identity unread/read. Go back to bold text for unread.

The new design that highlights read (opened) emails with a grey background makes the inbox harder to scan.

The previous layout, with all emails on a white background and using Bold text for Unread emails and Regular text for Opened emails, was much easier to navigate.

Please go back to that cleaner and more readable format. It made managing emails much more efficient. This is a big one for me and would be a deal breaker.

Thank you.

Row shading of SELECTED email matches shading of ANY READ message. Confusing to know what email I am reading in the preview pane when going back-and-forth between preview and the Inbox navigation.

The unread and read icon indicators seem to be reviewed. A closed envelope means that a message is unread, and an open envelope means that the message has been read.

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.
