  3. Custom colors and themes

    I have literally been using Yahoo Mail for maybe 25 years, or perhaps even longer. And with just one move, you have stripped all the soul out of my inbox. I hate this soulless, plain white or black page. Why did you do this? You have all the resources to keep both versions available. I'm truly on the verge of losing all hope in Yahoo. Honestly. I don't complain any of the notification clutter of your website but... You shouldnt force your long-term, loyal users into this.

    Thank you for your feedback! We know our reply won't make you happy, but unfortunately there is no reverting back. Very sorry. We are EOLing the old version and only making the new one better. We decided to simplify our themes because more than 90% of our users kept the default, therefore with very low usage we decided not to support more themes and backgrounds. Thanks!

    Yes, we’ve introduced a new design to better support our community as needs, routines, and habits. We understand that adjustments like this can be challenging at first, and we appreciate your patience as well as your feedback. We hope you’ll spend some time with the new layout.

  5. Give us the classic email we like.

    I want the old look to my email back because this is way too light in color so is hard to see.

  6. Am I deludedly optimistic?

    By some magical intervention, I seem to have been transported back to Yahoo mail. Not the basic one I wish to return to. Not the elegant, sophisticated, design classic. No, no. The one between that and the new cesspit of design both unfunctional and ugly. At least I've got one step back! I followed all the videos (and I've looked at hundreds) to return me from this state to the basic and none show me the way. Is there one? Am I deludedly optimistic?

    We currently have no plans in adding more themes or backgrounds to the desktop. We had a lot of themes before and a majority of our community kept the default. Due to low usage and high upkeep we decided to keep Yahoo simplified. Thanks for understanding!

  10. Currently there's no Themes or Customization in the NEW Yahoo! Mail.

    Exactly what the title idea states. This is something that is sorely needed in the NEW Yahoo! Mail. Being able to use Custom Backgrounds or Themes (ones that are MUCH better than the basic ones that the older Yahoo! Mail was using.
    I want to be able to make my Inbox look like how I want it to look. A basic "Light", "Dark" and "Device" aesthetic is not good enough and is very boring and uninspiring, to say the least. This is what will keep me using the older Yahoo! Mail, as it at least has some kind of Theme…

    Hi Damian, very sorry, but we currently have no plans in adding more themes or backgrounds. We had many before and it had very very low usage. Most of our community stayed with the default. So due to this and high upkeep we made the decision to not support more and simplify it. Thanks!

  12. I would like to switch back to the new, prefer old format

    Yesterday my yahoo experience changed and I would like an option to switch it back to the old design. It's what I am used to and prefer, as I have used that one the past nearing 25 years.

  13. Complaint Regarding Yahoo Mail Interface Changes

    Dear Yahoo Support,

    I am a long-time Yahoo Mail user and a paying customer who recently purchased additional storage space.

    After recent changes to Yahoo Mail, the interface I had used for years has disappeared. The previous layout was much more comfortable, easier to read, and more suitable for my daily use.

    The new interface is difficult for me to use, and I can no longer find the appearance options and themes that were previously available. I especially miss the ability to customize the look and feel of my mailbox.

    I would like to know:

    Is it possible to restore…

  15. Backgrounds in Appearance?

    How about different backgrounds or themes in Mail? Allow us to personalize our accounts, not have to stick with something unimaginative or boring?

    We had tons of themes and backgrounds and unfortunately they were barely used. So with very very low usage and high upkeep, we made the decision to not support all those and instead keep it simplified. Sorry about that, but thank you for loving that!

  16. Email themes

    So, I switched to the new email. I want my theme back! Or, where did the themes go? I can't find them.
    Disappointed.

  17. Old Version

    I cannot deal with the new version email at all. My brain is going nuts & I'm stressed because I can't even look at my emails without my brain swirling. Way too busy with icons, dots, bold modern print. Why oh why would you even think this new version is better!

    I miss having the color choices that were in the last version. White is too bright and dark is just too dull.

    Hi Owen, yes we did have many themes before and unfortunately a majority of our users always kept the default theme. Therefore with low usage and high up keep, we decided not to support more themes and kept it simplified. Hope you can understand!

  20. Appearance

    The WHITE appearance is too bright. The Dark Appearance is too dark. I have trouble seeing which e-mails have not been opened because the colors are too similar. How about a gray or medium level?
