  2. NEW EMAIL AND UNREAD IN DARK MODE HARD TO DIFFERENTIATE

    In the new version of Yahoo Mail, any read and unread messages in dark mode are so hard to differentiate. It was better in the older version.

  3. Add a "compact" view to the email interface

    Paddings are way too large, text is too big:
    - Around the top nav bar
    - The rows with the emails are way too large, I'd like to see more of them on my screen
    - The buttons are way too big they have too much padding

    Other issues :
    The search bar is not centered in the middle
    Hovering over the rows (emails) has an outer box shadow which feels clunky, I prefer the subtle highlights.
    The new message button is HUGE too much padding and margins

  4. Stick to a theme

    I like things dark. And it's great that you have a dark theme. That is, unless I click on the Calendar or Notes icon on the right. Then my eyes get BLASTED with a big white screen. That's just rude. Why can't you guys be consistent across apps? And to be honest, it would be better if the icons opened the Notes and Calendar in that same window, like the "Starred" and "Contacts" screens do. It's like you have completely different teams working on projects and not talking to each other at all! It makes for a decidedly unpleasant user…

  5. Starred Pane, when reduced, should not re-expand on refresh

    The Starred pane can be reduced. It's counterintuitive, but I figured out how. Even the guy I spent an hour with from your tech support didn't know how to close (reduce) it. HOWEVER... once I reduce it, if I refresh the screen, the dang thing re-expands! That's just rude. The left menu, when reduced to icons, doesn't re-expand on screen refresh, so why does the right "starred" pane? If you can't be smart, at least be consistent!

  11. In Dark Mode, links in a mail's text are not highlighted in color

    In Dark Mode, links in a mail's text are not highlighted in color, but in the same color as the rest of the text.

    Links which are not underlined are not recognizable as links.
