I am extremely disappointed with the new Yahoo Mail desktop layout.

I used the old Basic Mail for many years because it was simple, easy to navigate and comfortable to look at.

The new Light mode is far too bright and uncomfortable on my eyes, while Dark mode is unnecessarily dark. The old Basic Mail had a much softer greyish appearance, which was considerably easier to use.

Another major frustration is the large, empty panel on the right-hand side of the inbox. It takes up valuable screen space, and I cannot find any way to remove it, even with List view selected. I would much prefer my emails to extend across the full width of the screen.

I would strongly urge Yahoo to:

Introduce a softer grey theme similar to the old Basic Mail.

Allow users to remove the right-hand panel completely.

Restore a compact, traditional email list without large coloured sender icons.

Reconsider allowing customers to switch back to the old Basic Mail layout.

I appreciate that Yahoo wants to modernise its service, but removing a familiar and accessible layout without offering customers a choice is disappointing.

Please listen to long-standing users who prefer a straightforward, traditional email experience.

Thank you.
