Why does every company think that users like and want this washed out look? Why can't we have an option to have crisp sharp contrasts? Honestly, that is the first thing that I thought about when I saw this new look and why when I had the option last time Yahoo switched me to the new look, I immediately switched back. Maybe, if I could choose to have more contrast or sharpness, I wouldn't hate the new look as I do now. Switching to Dark mode is NOT the answer.

Dark Mode revisions are needed, bold text and unbold text appear to look the same. for example in normal mode a read message is no longer bold, while in dark mode it is impossible to distinguish between the two. Also the dark mode color does not play well with my partial color blindness and the normal mode the entire format is white causing eye strain... previous versions had a colored menu and only the message area was white... BRING THIS BACK. The former format was perfect, the text was great and now it is difficult for me to use the mail on my PC because of these small changes. Also, the message header or control panel in the message preview is too wide/Tall as it takes up too much space for no reason at all. Due to the format, I must zoom in to read the text, but zooming in forces me to open the message completely to minimize the amount of scrolling required when I did not have to previously. I've been using Yahoo mail for more than 20 years... I'm slowly being pushed away for your platform... these are not major issues, but they are easily corrected. Please for those of us who loved the old format, fix these issues and give us was to customize the look and feel so that bright white or dull gray background can be changed.

Additionally, Previews of the message "topic" should able to be modified as with previous versions, meaning I should be able to choose between a single line or two line topic previews. I know you guys listen to your subscribers so please make these changes... Customization is huge, particular background color and text formatting. If night mode must be grey, choose a darker color. I'd prefer to have choices in dark mode... light gray, dark gray or black. I'm not big on message themes, but some customization is very beneficial to the user experience such as text or font size in general not necessary just when sending a message. With more than 20 years of using the platform and with experience using countless others including Gmail, Proton, etc., Yahoo has always had the best format. Now suddenly you've become just as generic as the rest. You still have a a large marketshare, I'm afraid this latest move will threaten that. We're forced to have Gmail if we own an Android phone, but I hate it... Your new format has now become very similar to it. Please fix these issues and implement more customization.

Before we could actually select the color of the Mail and Inbox...would so love for that to come back. I prefer my Inbox to have a color different from the page

The dark mode color is not good for some of us who are partially color blind... while the inbox is similar to the original format and is an improvement over the previous iteration, it is still a challenge to look at without having to Zoom in. There's an old adage that says, "if it ain't broke don't fix it." I'm certain there were necessary changes that needed to be made, but you could've keep the same look after so many of us long time users who have been with you for multiple decades complained about. We're only still here because we dislike Google and Gmail... but now many of us will be reconsidering it due to the changes... the loss of the notepad, etc... Fix the formatting and keep some of your longstanding users... Thanks.

background is too light or too dark. we should be able to fix background to a nice shade

This is ugly and *bare*. It feels stripped down, somehow.
Could we please have something other than stark white / pale grey as the background? Its ******* the eyes.
Iirc, previously, there were coloured 'surrounds', if thats the right word. Perhaps we could get those back? It would definitely help. The old layout felt more 'friendly' as well. Psychological but...
Also, is there a way to change the size of the font? Not just on outgoing emails but incoming ones as well? Maybe its the starkness of the current layout but the lettering is definitely more difficult to read with this one.
Thankyou for your time,
SE

Toutes ces couleurs, variations de caractères donnent le tournis. Très dur pour les dys... comment enlever tous ces logos/couleurs et revenir à une forme plus épurée ? les tutos ne correspondent pas du tout à ce que j'ai comme possibilité

Like others I can't tell what I read or what I haven't. Just being bold does not help.

suggestion for more theme colors

Messages on dark mode looks highlighted the color of messages should be as the color of the background

Yes, we like Dark Theme but not for the Email/Message Body.
Please make Email/Message Body Background WHITE.

Allow color combinations that do not fall into the standard Light, Dark, or High Contrast modes. I have vision contrast issues that make ALL of the standard combinations difficult to use. Typing this message in standard Light mode is actively painful. My normal default is a light grey foreground with a medium green or blue (not teal) background.

Provide a color palate option instead of just white and dark (like the old Yahoo Mail). The white is too bright, and teh dark is too hard to read.

When I'm writing an email, and I want to change font color, if I change it to 'white' while in dark mode, it becomes invisible when I switch to light mode. Perhaps there could be an 'automatic' color that is always white in dark mode and always black in light mode?

Bring back themes & colours, the white or black only options are awful. Thanks.

bring back themes~~~

For Dark mode can you make the email messages section a light gray for better contrast on the eyes and better reading?

I wasn't big on themes, but at least let us choose something other than black or white. It's getting just like cars (black, white, silver, beige). Good grief, give us at least a little bit of joy.

in old theme of yahoo mail was added an option to choose a background image (years ago) and i had choosen the one with a van with very light brown-ish theme. please return it back. or atleast give me the image of it. for years i used to see it and now its GONE
please
