I REALLY need a compact view!
I don't like this new look very much at all, but I might be able to get used to it if I can have a compact view. Some themes or colors would be nice too.
Hi there, thank you for submitting feedback! We pushed the new layout a while ago and have been slowly migrating users. The migration is almost complete.
We see a lot of 'Compact View' feedback so we wanted to gather more feedback!
When looking at your Inbox, we have in the top, right hand side, the sorting icon. From there you can change the Inbox Spacing to: Small, Medium, Large. (Screenshot provided). Same under More > Settings > Appearance (Screenshot provided)
So our question to you:
- Are you not seeing these Settings/Choices?
- You DO see them, but you want it even more Compact? How compact is our question?
Thanks for your help!!

Unhappy with 'new' features as it seems most positive, helpful tools have disappeared, such as mentioned in title of my comment. Why? Seriously contemplating a switch to a different email service which mean this 20+ year Yahoo user will also disappear.

Please make compact view available ASAP. The new spacing is UNUSABLE!

The rows in the grid are to high. Between the unneeded circular icon with logo of sender and extra white space between rows, only 12 or 13 messages can be seen at a time causing excessive scrolling.
The right hand window pane containing stared messages always opens by default - I am constantly closing it everytime I log in.
Not enough room on left folder pane to see complete folder names. Many of my folders begin with the same prefix or word and I now need to hover my mouse over each folder to see the complete name until I find the one I want - when many folders start with the same prefix, this is extremely time consuming.
I have multiple yahoo accounts and the account names use to show nicely on the top left in the older interface, I could see at a glance if there were messages to review in those accounts. Now those accounts have moved to the bottom left and I cant see if there are message alerts without physically moving my mouse down and putting it on the name of the account. -

The new Yahoo email does not accommodate single spacing. SINGLE SPACING. How basic and essential this is!! My emails look WRONG AND UNPROFESSIONAL with the 1.5 spacing. FIX THIS PLEASE ASAP or I will have to say goodbye to Yahoo Mail.

Instead of the old condensed listing format now there's only ~20 emails listed with the new distracting basic email UI on a 4K PC screen. Seriously ? How about even bigger contact circles with colors and listing only 10 emails ?
Now need to endlessly scroll even more to see the last 30 to 40 emails, waste of time and of productivity. -

Let people manage the spacing between messages in the Inbox and folder views AS WAS AVAILABLE before.
Yahoo Mail has an older user base. Forcing change that makes the system arguably MORE difficult to use is a great way to lose them. I also have a hard time believing that whoever decided what to add and remove in this mail update actually USES it as their primary email.

There is far to much space between all the lines, as a result, on my laptop screen, I can barely see anything useful without constant scrolling. This was not necessary with the prior version I was using. The current update has zero benefits and makes it significantly harder to actually read through the mails - text is not only smaller, there is simultaneously less of it on the screen.

Why have you made it IMPOSSIBLE for me to SHRINK the font on my Viewing Emails tab, so that there is NO WAY that I can see a large number of emails in my inbox at a time anymore?? The only way now is to shrink the entire browser field, but when you then want to WRITE an email, you have to unshrink it. HOW ARE YOU ACTUALLY IMPROVING ANYTHING when you make involuntary changes to people's email delivery that are definitely downgrading previous functions?

I process emails fifo, if they sit in my inbox over 10 days then I delete them, sometimes sooner. I subscribe to many newsletters and prefer to handle if and when I review them. The new list is too spaced out to be of any value.

Please devote a larger percentage of the screen space to the actual incoming emails. Now I can only see eight at a time, and the sender and subject fields don't include much.

The "new Yahoo email does not have an "Inbox spacing option under Appearances even though your documentation and help chatbot says it should. Please fix so that it is there and that option is available.

Hi Yahoo Customer Care
I wish to reduce line spacing of my Inbox to be (small) just as it was prior to the New Yahoo Mail update.
Although the documentation refers to 'Inbox Spacing' setting there is no such ('Inbox Spacing') despite the following in documentation:
Click the Settings Icon Image of the Settings icon..
Under "Message Layout", select one of the following options:
List (no preview pane)
Right (show message in a preview pane on the right)
Bottom (show message in a preview pane on the bottom)
Under "Inbox Spacing", select one of the following options:
Small
Medium
LargePlease help.

please allow the capability of adjusting the layout by removing the spacing between emails and folders. I want to see the list of emails without all the scrolling required. the current layout is a huge waste of screen space

I see that a compact view is coming soon. I can't wait. I don't like this theme. It's not very customizable, either. In the end, not very user friendly. Also, I lost my News link, and web search link. I want them back.
