make the inbox/reading pane area BIGGER and add a normal contrast option
this is ridiculous - the AD banner on the right takes up almost two thirds of the entire screen, leaving only a narrow column for the inbox/reading pane - so it won't display more than 4 or 5 words at a time, and now you've added and EXTRA add banner across the top half of the inbox so it now only shows a few lines at a time - this is beyond unusable. The light grey text on the off-white background makes it almost IMPOSSIBLE to read - why can't you provide a NORMAL CONTRAST mode like black text on a white background so it is easier to read? Its like Yahoo is intentionally making everything about using mail absolutely terrible!
