Why a limited number of emails per page? Can't seem to fix this in settings
Why is there only 25 emails per page? I have tried to fix this in settings but can't navigate how to fix this issue. I have looked online to try and see how others have fixed this but none of their solutions have worked. I have more than 25 emails of differently related subjects I would like to be on one page so I don't have to go back and forth trying to find the correct one.

Please make the messages displayed in the inbox in compact/tight view. Thank you.

I prefer to view the messages list with tighter line spacing. Please enable this setting like gmail does. Thanks.

The ability to compact or expand all messages in a conversation with multiple emails has been lost from the old mail version.

I did not see a way that I could compress or expand the spacing between the messages. Also, it would be nice to have options on fonts for displaying messages.

Make an option to eliminate the white spacing between the lines. If you get many emails a day, it's too hard to view.

The old email had a setting for style: relaxed, comfortable ( or similar style names) for how emails are displayed in the inbox list.
The emails are now too close together and font/text it too small -

The frame for viewing emails is too small and blocks out a portion of the email making that portion unreadable

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

Please minimize the height of the emails in the inbox. Look at gmail for an example.

I get about 30-50 emails a day, so I lose visibility to any emails from the previous day and I need to remember where I got emails from and I can only access them by searching.

We should be able to set our own font sizes so people with different eyes, displays, and circumstances can adjust appropriately.
It is a foolish thing to force people on this. It can affect long-term vision, fatigue, and a whole host of physiological issues. -

We should be able to change the format so that we can see at least twice the number of emails in one screen, they need to be spaced closer together and have the option for smaller print. This is aggravating to only see 13 emails per page.

Add an option in "Viewing email" to change the Font Size and the Vertical Spacing.
Most people complain that the texts are too small, but on my 32 inch monitor, they are too big and the vertical spacing is too wide. Here, the "one size fits all" doesn't work. Please let us change the Font Size and the Vertical Spacing between lines. -

The inbox list of messages has far too much space between messages, meaning very few display on a page. I need to see more of them at once by removing the extra line spacing. It is ridiculous that we have to suggest ideas to get back what we had a month ago before you completely ruined the user experience. Why would you force longtime users into something we hate? I have the paid version and it is not because I want you to completely redo everything, it is because I want to just keep using the thing I have had for decades without any major changes.

In keeping with the new version, I'd at least like an option to change the size of the display. Everything is Huge!?

Note: Some administrator incorrectly merged this into a COMPLETELY UNRELATED topic about "Why a limited number of emails per page? Why is there only 25 emails per page?" There used to be a preference setting to control the vertical spacing of items displayed in the inbox. This setting was REMOVED.
The new inbox only fits 8 lines of mail on screen (at 100% zoom on a large monitor). It used to fit a LOT more. Not only does this disruptively require me to immediately start scrolling to see any mail more then three hours old, it makes it painfully difficult to scan through older mails.
It appears that webdesign schools have been teaching that "more whitespace is always better", and they are wrong. All the excessive whitespace your web design team keeps adding leaves almost no space for actual useful content on screen. At a minimum, RESTORE THE "INBOX SPACING" CONTROL SETTING.

**DELETED** A confused administrator incorrectly merged a COMPLETELY UNRELATED issue into here.
For anyone who is objecting to the PAINFULLY LOW NUMBER OF MAILS VISIBLE ON SCREEN WITHOUT PAGING OR SCROLLING, who wants a fix for the REMOVED PREFERENCE FOR INBOX SPACING, see https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/962180-new-yahoo-mail/suggestions/49583084-return-the-prefference-control-for-inbox-spacing
On the subject of this issue, the newly deployed interface is using lazy loaded infinite scrolling for the inbox, while the "classic" interface changed to paged loading for the inbox. It appears most of the replies here are either objecting to the inbox spacing issue (which was incorrectly merged here), or are they are objecting to removal of lazy-loading infinite-scroll from the "classic" interface. Although do I see at least one person who wants paged view in the new interface.

5 March 2025. I could not reproduce this bug. I can scroll all conversation threads in my browser.

To view a previous, intermediate email in a thread, you have to click twice. I would rather they were always listed in a tighter format, so only one click is needed to open one. It gives a more streamlined view of the whole conversation.
