  2. Get rid of the message summaries

    They are redundant and messy. If you don't want to get rid of them, at least let people opt in or out depending on their preferences.

  3. Add a "compact" view to the email interface

    Paddings are way too large, text is too big:
    - Around the top nav bar
    - The rows with the emails are way too large, I'd like to see more of them on my screen
    - The buttons are way too big they have too much padding

    Other issues :
    The search bar is not centered in the middle
    Hovering over the rows (emails) has an outer box shadow which feels clunky, I prefer the subtle highlights.
    The new message button is HUGE too much padding and margins

  4. Get rid of the summary bot at the top of the email

    Get rid of the summary, it is not useful , blocks most of the email on the page, increases requirements for scrolling, is obtrusive, obstructive, and obnoxious. Tell which ever BSD thought this was a good idea to put it back in his pants and actuALLY THINK OF SOMETHING USEFUL

  5. Contact Yahoo support directly for account-related help?

    Yahoo Customer Support Number +1 833-808-4500

    Yahoo New Mail has a clean design and useful features, but there are several areas where it could be improved to provide a better user experience.

    First, performance and reliability could be improved. The mail interface can sometimes feel slow, especially when loading folders, searching emails, or switching between messages. Faster loading times and smoother performance would make daily use much more efficient.

    Second, spam filtering and email organization could be smarter. While spam detection exists, important emails still occasionally end up in the spam or bulk folders. Improving AI-based filtering and giving users…

  7. Halloween

    Give us a way to stop Yahoo from the idiotic Halloween 'challenge' popups. We want to simply read our email, not be bothered by flashy advertisements and distracting gamification.

  8. themes

    In 2025 it's above disgusting that yahoo is the only email service that doesnt allow to add your own wallpaper. Your themes have been the same for years. This probably has been asked a million times over and over. Do you ever listen to what users want or is this just a sounding box.

    La casella di posta in arrivo e i relativi messaggi, non colorateli di grigio. Lasciate i messaggi letti con fondo bianco, altrimenti sembrano tutti non letti.

  12. I don't like the Primary header

    Why does the new yahoo mail default to the Primary header? I want to see all my emails, not just the ones deemed "primary".
    I like that the emails are all the same sized now, I can flick through emails, using the arrows, without finding the arrows have moved position.
    But get rid of the primary.

    We encourage you to read at the top of the Uservoice header (forum). There we provide What’s New, Coming Soon and some Tips. There we mention how to disable Inbox Categories: All, Priority, etc. Definitely read those as we update them with useful information. Thanks.

  13. 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.

  15. 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!

  17. 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.
