  5. Need the themes in the new version too

    I loved the new Yahoo inbox look but I still prefer being able to choose from the various themes in the old version and give my personal touch. The new inbox looks like a rented unit the old felt like my home. Please see if you can add the themes-like thing in the new setup. Thanks

    Very sorry, we have decided to keep our themes simplified because of very low usage. We had tons of themes before, but majority of our users kept the default. So with high upkeep and very low usage, we made the decision to keep things simple. 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.

  11. Background Text and Emojis

    Please bring back bold text and other personalizations. These are basic text needs and should not have disappeared also backgrounds to help remember which account I am in and to help brighten the day, other providers have these and more options. I will consider leaving if no changes are made.
    Thanks

  15. adjust color theme

    The light is too light and the dark is too dark. Neither of them are easy to read. The old one had more colors to section your view and focus attention and sight better.

    Very sorry, but we currently have no plans to add more themes or colors. We have simplified our colors. We used to have more themes, but it has very very low usage and high upkeep. A majority of our users keep the default. Thanks.

  16. bring back themes!

    it sucks that you can only have light or dark or device themes in the new email. i can't even get themes back if i go to the old email. bring that back, please.

    We currently have no plans in bringing back themes as when we had it before it had very little use. A majority of our community stayed with the default. Therefore with low usage and high upkeep we made the decision to no longer support themes.

    As for calendar, you can see your calendar in the top, right hand side of your Inbox under "More."

    Hope this helps!

  18. themes

    No option to change colours or to change anything about mail settings anymore? (ie make more compact, change background colour). why is it so basic now....

  19. Stop messing with bad designs!

    Why has my email design changed? I was trying the fancy version to see if it's usable for me, and no, i still dislike it, so i reverted back and design has changed, and for the worse. WHY?
    If we don't like your garbage design and prefer the alternative, why ***** up the alternative?
