the new email inbox (and other folders) is awful to look at. Unread messages are in bold, and they blend right in with the gray stripes that cover the read messages. I have to look really closely to see what is read and unread. How about have no color for read messages and make unread messages gray stripes instead

I absolutely hate this version! I can't tell which emails are read and which aren't. When it says I have unread msg, I have no idea what I need to read. Please fix this!!!

New yahoo email doesn't high light the current email I am reading from a list of emails. It is difficult to find the current email from the list. How can I setup so that the current email is visually high-lighted from the email list?

Unread emails no long show up in bold. Seriously. How terrible. It's pretty horrible and there are no themes? The only good thing is the preview/.

Read e-mail color should NOT be gray. It looks like either an unread e-mail or something that is grayed out and cannot be clicked on. Having it bold (unread) and not bold (read) is much much easier. Not many things would make me switch e-mails and stop patronizing your sponsors, but this is definitely one of them.

The new version of Yahoo Mail is horrible. It's difficult to navigate. Graying out the 'read' emails makes navigating more difficult. The previous version of yahoo mail was MUCH better.

blue dot and bold was much more efficient!

GO BACK TO THE CLASSIC VERSION!!!!!!

Bring back the CONTRAST! I am a senior citizen that requires contrasting colors and gray is NOT one of them. This makes using my email of 30 years so difficult unnecessarily. This is NOT an upgrade. Please consult with Accessibility experts & those in Universal Design.
P.S.

GO BACK TO THE CLASSIC VERSION!!!!!!

YAHOO IS MAKING UNNECESSARY CHANGES TO ITS USER INTERFACE THAT DO NOT BENEFIT THE END USER.

Why did Yahoo roll out essentially a Beta version taking users BACK to the early days of email when features we know and love today didn't exist yet. SLOWLY adding features we previously had back in or not at all is ridiculous. Doesn't Yahoo have the analytics showing which features are used most by users? If not, why??? That is critical data when making any overhaul or big changes in a product. Get your act together!

Admit you made a mistake & LISTEN to your users!!!!

How hard is it to program so a 'blue dot' shows beside mail that is not read? The greyed line is not that easy to differentiate from the rest of the emails. Again, how hard can that be????????? Do you need to hire new IT staff???????

The new Yahoo should be user-friendly by doing the following a) DO NOT USE GRAY FOR EMAILS, because the gray makes the screen visually inaccessible to many older users by blurring the contrasts, b) REDUCE SPACE TAKEN BY ADS ON THE NEW SCREEN, because increased ad space makes the email summaries harder to read, again making the emails inaccessible to many users, c) YAHOO SHOULD CONSULT THE PRINCIPLES OF UNIVERSAL DESIGN, and then apply those principles to all aspects of their new email from opening emails to allowing users to customize their settings for what will work for them.
Currently, none of the three suggestions are implemented, and this lack of the application o universal design makes this email format much more difficult than it should be.

The grey background is horrible. I can't read my email. Please take that away and have bold and unbold.

Marked as planned from 10/16/24 - 5 months and no update!

It's correct to point out that the "new look" reminds you of the Yahoo basic Mail which is s stark white (at least not gray) barren page with primitive layout and basic buttons but at least it's functional. If beth horn said the unread emails now look like "ads" that are mixed in, then that's probably on purpose, and what's more, young 20 year old people with mobile phones and NO desktop computers don't know any better anyway, so Yahoo will not change it back to please YOU. If you want yourself spared in the future, go on the three dots on the left pane, it unhides "Settings", and there in the settings, look on the left, eventually you'll find "Swith to basic Mail" which will turn your mail into simplified version but it's stable and whenever a new kid that comes to Yahoo management in the future - and they WILL come - and decides yet another crazy redesign of Yahoo mail, you will be spared. It won't touch YOU. So yeah, I switched to Basic.

Just go back to the previous version. Nothing else matters. We like Yahoo, not this Gmail clone you've made.

Why does it keep messages that have been read greyed out, very annoying.

The new version is terrible and difficult to navigate. I don't want read messages highlighted. I want the ability to turn that off. You have taken away almost all of the user's ability to personalize and made the interface more difficult and less intuitive.

Impossible to see unread emails. FIX THIS ASAP

Allow the ability to go back to Classic Yahoo mail. I can deal with the changes made to allow the movement of an email from one folder to another etc. However, the background and font differences between READ and UNREAD emails are intolerable.

Either allow users to change fonts, background, and boldness or go back to the methods used in the older Classic Yahoo Mail.

Yahoo needs to stop the new shading of various emails shown in the Inbox listings. I can't imagine why anyone would have thought this was a good idea! I have an eye condition that makes reading the shaded entries extremely difficult! And, of course, it appears that the ones they've decided to shade are the important ones! Every time I try to check/read my emails now, I end up with a headache due to just trying to read what they are!
If Yahoo insists on changing their mail, they need to ALWAYS make it possible to return to the original (ie Basic) mail. They should know by now that not everyone likes the changes they make! "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

GO Back! This new format is a copy of Google. So unoriginal.
