    Can we get more themes and colours for the mailbox. Currently only one light and dark option is available in the new mailbox.

    The new Yahool provides a default right hand column for starred items. I know I can eliminate that by clicking the double carat, but why can't I have a default home screen WITHOUT the starred column (maybe in settings). The starred column reduces what I can see of long subject lines in priority messages . It also reduces my ability to see some of the message (a real time saver) if the subject line is long. Please make the starred column disappear from the default home page. Otherwise I like the new Yahoo (though I miss my colorful screen.)

    Hello. I really liked the new look. But you have to fix the left pane. In Turkish, Spam folder's tag is "İstenmeyen Posta". Since the left pane is too narrow for that two words it is written as "İstenmeyen Po...". My biggest concern is that I can't see the "empty" link next to the spam folder. We can't resize the left pane so it's impossible to empty the spam folder with one click. I know you'll handle this issue asap. Yahoo is my first email address ( I guess around 25 years or so) and I still use it daily. So I had to write this feedback. Thank you for your great work.

    Ad: "3 New Messages A missed connection was logged earlier today..."

    Above Ad was on the top of my emails list. Why are we getting scam / phishing Ads????

    I use Yahoo webmail (new format) in dark mode. Something has changed in the way "read" emails is displayed. Until a week or two ago "read" emails would be shaded darker than "unread" emails. Now they are so close to the same you really can't tell what is read and what isn't. The bold, not bold does not offer an easily to identify difference. Please fix that if only to go back to the way it was before that "change".

    I rely on the blocks of color to keep track of my calendar events - now they are just little dots of color and useless to me. Bring back the color highlight of the whole text please! I hate the new format.

    Please bring back option for old yahoo email look. The new look is very confusing, before the change you would see the emails sorted by and separated by month, now it's just a long list of emails with the title of the email and the content combined in the same line and the date of the email at the end. Everything looks like a bad wall of text.

    I can't see how I can create new filters directly from the inbox the way I used to in old mail. I used to have the option to "filter messages like this" (or something like that). Now, I think I have to go into settings and remember the email address or some other attribute I want to use to create a new filter from scratch.

    Please add this back!

    I would like to share some feedback regarding the recent changes in the inbox layout. Previously, emails were clearly separated by day, which made it easy to identify messages from different dates. In the new view, this separation has been removed, and all emails appear in a single list. This makes it harder to quickly distinguish emails from different days.

    I kindly request that you consider restoring the daily separators or providing an option to enable them, as it greatly improves usability.

    Currently, there appears to be only two appearance/theme options: light and dark. Will more be added later? Because the older version has seven other colour options as well as four other background options, so having only the choice of basically black or white is quite limiting.

  • Farid Ghoreyshi commented  ·   ·  Report

    The "Delete All" button next to Spam and Trash button was very useful add it to this new version too.

    I like the new Yahoo but where the Mailboxes (inboxes of other emails, linked to my Yahoo) are now is very unpractical for several reasons;
    - I can't see anymore with just a quick look if there are any new emails in those inboxes (big downside).
    - When I want to go to those inboxes, I have to do 2-3 steps instead of one click: I have to go all the way down with the mouse to hover over and then click on the right inbox which is often unpractical because when I move the mouse to choose the inbox, it all disappears and I have to hover again... so I have to be much more precise (and slow) than before to actually get into the inbox of another Mailbox. It seems a detail but when you do it several times on a daily basis it adds up.

    Since I generaly like the new Yahoo, it would be nice to at least have an option to put that function back to where it was without switching to the old Yahoo Mail.

    It seem unlike other version of yahoo and other mail providers you lost the advantage of having no mail selected. This is normally my default view after checking and catching up so as I have no information on my screen for drive by information gathering .. It might seem odd and unnecessary and although there is a list there may be occasions where you don't want somebody to see an opened email when you go to show them another email or something ... When we first open yahoo mail the area is blank "no mail selected" and it can be recreated by refreshing the page but why not just have a close button for the only last email. It would cost you less resources in the long run that people who like this as a privacy feature from constantly refreshing that page. I have not found any way without refreshing to leave my screen with no mail selected after selecting an email.

    using yahoo webmail you are Unable to select/copy the content of email in the "Bottom" and "Right" layout settings using the left mouse button. You can copy content just fine in the "List" layout. I tested this using Chrome browser.

    I have had a Yahoo email account for decades - hate the new layout - so much that I am looking to quit this email address and change to another provider..

  • Bonnie Pardi commented  ·   ·  Report

    I can't be the only one who's going nuts over this. The new look has read and unread emails looking wayyyy too similar. As someone who strives to leave no email unturned, this drives me crazy. At first I even selected all and marked as "read" a few times because I thought it was a bug. I hope there will be a fix soon.

    The new look is great! However, the inbox seems not readable whenever there are no starred messages. I have created screenshot, but I am not able to upload here

    I'm trying to add a list of names and emails into my contact list from a excel CSV file. Upon using your HELP feature it says to Steps to Import CSV Contacts to Yahoo Mail:
    Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
    Click the Contacts icon in the right sidebar.
    Click the More options icon (three dots).
    Select Import from CSV file.
    Click to browse and select the CSV file from your computer.
    Wait for the process to complete to see your new contacts.
    but there is no option to IMPORT on Export CSV File

    Your new UI should respect the theme options users have selected. Why would I want to go from a dark blue, easy on the eyes theme to a blinding white theme?
