Welcome. How can we improve the New Yahoo Mail?

← New Yahoo Mail

Colors/Themes

I did not like the gray background of read e-mails. The unread ones should be bold black as they were previously and the read ones should be on a white or lighter background. It is currently very confusing...

    Considering switching to Gmail where you can upload or pick a background picture instead of a Yahoo's sterile black or white background. .

    The black and the white options both hurt my eyes.

  • Eric Sabin commented  ·   ·  Report

    Give us back themes or at least basic colors. Even Gmail has this

  • Karen Johnson commented  ·   ·  Report

    It used to be much easier to distinguish between read and unread.

  • Samantha Wood commented  ·   ·  Report

    Dark mode is to dark, light mode is to light. Give us back themes or at least basic colors. Even Gmail has this.

    Gray on gray with no division between days/weeks/months and new emails no longer in bold. This is impossible for me to look at for long.

  • David Montesi commented  ·   ·  Report

    No ability / option to change mail background Color / Themes ? A big step backwards. Please re-implement this function

  • p j commented  ·   ·  Report

    The previous version allowed me to select a color background for the e-mails that was easy on my eyes to read and view. This "either black or white" version is either "dimly lit" or "glaring to the point of distraction" for me. What were you thinking? This new version is like the first time into a "roundabout"...more then a bit confusing and it seems everyone sees you've an out of state license and are bound and determined to NEVER see you exit!

    Please bring back ability to pick your own colour themes, like the previous version, it was a much clearer and user friendly interface, and the reason I've remained with yahoo from the start. The coloured circles with initials in the inbox are visually very distracting. It would help greatly if you could bring back the appearance of the previous version, where we could modify the colours / themes of the interface to suit each individual user.

    GIVE US BACK COLORED THEMES! The light version is too bright and the dark version hurts my eyes because of the strong contrast! I've had yahoo mail since it's inception and the birth of public internet, GIVE US BACK THEMES, PLEASE!!!

  • Jan H Werdeo commented  ·   ·  Report

    Your current version is extremely bland and harder visually to categorize. When something isn't broke, why try to fix it!! Please bring back the last version and leave it alone.

    Can you change colors on new yahoo. All I see are the white, grey and black settings. I asked about this before and heard nothing about it.

  • Maciej Dalecki commented  ·   ·  Report

    Would be great if sbd could explain why grey backgroud is better than simple white? Im considering changing inbox provider as I'm ****** off. It looks like you changed it just to highlight adverts in white.

  • Maciej Dalecki commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can I please have my inbox with white backgroud instead of grey - as it was in previous version? Can I change it back anyhow?

  • j n commented  ·   ·  Report

    There needs to be a color distinction between "read", "unread" and "currently reading" emails on the left hand side. It's too confusing having the "read" and "currently reading" as the same color.

  • Rosalie Mccann commented  ·   ·  Report

    Have eye issues and this is driving me up the wall. I can't focus. The dot next to the emails worked just fine in letting you know if it was read or not.

  • Anna Dee commented  ·   ·  Report

    You could've left the email themes alone.

  • Bruce Miles commented  ·   ·  Report

    Wait. My previous critical comments were not quite accurate. The more I use the new format, the more I hate it. It's too big and clunky with too many distracting colors and it's hard to read and it slows the reading's progress!!!! Simple black and white is less distracting and easier for users to read and scan. How could Yahoo possibly think making an email format LESS efficient is a good thing. The user is not on this site to shop or do some casual reading - rather, they want to check emails to get work done quickly and efficiently.
