  1. Appearance

    This new MaIl is UGLY, BULKY and horrible. And that's being nice about it. I want the classic version back. Stop FORCING this on US! No customization, no background images, It's either Black or White...neither is appealing. It wastes Screen space and is hard to sort through, separate the mails you want to find. AT least let us have background images back and use more of the screen space to expand the mailbox.

    We're glad you're here

  2. Did not see my idea posted anywhere within this post.

    Some do not care for the new format. I, for one hate it. At least give us the option of going back to the old format. May I please have my old yahoo mail back?

  3. Color thems for inbox?

    Why do we no longer have the ability to change inbox colors as with classic mail? The entire idea behind it was for users who have multiple accounts so that they could quickly differentiate between them. also why is the settings icon buried in folders rather than at the top of the page. Further, why is there no customer support for non paid email accts. Yahoo, you are close to being replaced once and for all.
