  1. customization lacking in new (and in basic) mail client

    The settings icon was needlessly hard to find. It should be in the upper right corner. In the new mail version it is buried under the folders on the bottom left. You have to click the three dots to find it in the expanded menu. There are only two theme choices (light and dark). There needs to be more customization (fonts, spacing, background colors, etc.). I miss being able to star emails directly from the inbox list instead of having to right click to see the feature. I like that there is an option to revert to the basic mail…

  3. Deletions and a Contact list

    I have to delete my emails one by one. I do not understand it. Can you get the extra deletion off the webpage.

    Can you have them delete all the emails like AT&T.

    You don't have any place for a Contact list. Can you have one?

  4. Include setting to customize appearance

    The lack of user appearance settings leave a more harsh black or white background, the white is too bright and dark lacks nuance or context to the inbox. A soft themed choice of color that shades darker at night would make using New Yahoo Mail more friendly to ones eyeballs.
