  2. Visual indicator when using up/down arrow keys to navigate "move to folder" while in dark mode

    When moving a message to a folder while in dark mode, there's no visual indicator when using the up/down arrow to pick the folder you want it to be moved to.

  4. color

    Please add color themes. Light or Dark themes both look too harsh.

    Having a white message area, with all other areas purple or another other color makes the entire page easier to look at.

    The alternative would be making the Dark theme charcoal, not pitch black.

    I'm sorry to see replies to others who suggested similar color themes saying Yahoo! has no plans to bring it back.

    Thanks!

  6. email preview

    I see that you have made the decision not to allow themes, but can you please add one more color choice? Both black and white are so harsh. I will have to change providers if you can't give a warmer color like green or blue.

  9. Where is Basic Mail Dark mode???

    How come there is No Dark mode for Basic Mail?? the layout is simple and is easy to read. its just too bright for me especially at 12am with the lights off. I do Not like the standard dark mode there's too much going on. "If it Ain't Broke Don't Fix it"

  10. 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.

  11. 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?

  12. 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.
