Dear Yahoo Mail Team,
I imagine you have already received plenty of negative feedback regarding the new Yahoo Mail version, but I feel compelled to add my voice to the conversation. Unfortunately, the new design is not only less functional but also feels like a step backward.
The previous version (not the current basic version) was excellent—it was intuitive, well-organized, and efficient. Key functional icons were clearly visible and placed in logical locations. For example:
The Settings gear was conveniently positioned in the top right corner alongside other frequently used icons.
Essential functions like Move, Delete, and other action buttons were prominently displayed above the email list.
Navigation arrows for Back and Forward were clearly visible on the top left.
Stars were positioned before each email preview, making them easy to spot.
The folder list was neatly arranged on the left side for easy access.This layout made Yahoo Mail superior to both Gmail and Outlook in terms of usability. However, the new version has either removed or hidden these essential features, making basic email tasks cumbersome. If users want to browse news or shop online, they will visit Yahoo.com—Yahoo Mail should focus solely on email functionality.
Additionally, the new color scheme is harsh on the eyes. While Outlook uses color effectively, it remains subtle and unobtrusive.
I can’t help but wonder if the designers behind the previous, well-structured version are still involved. The current redesign suggests a disconnect between the development team and actual user needs. Unfortunately, this version of Yahoo Mail is a major step in the wrong direction. Maintaining the previous version would be a far better choice, and I believe users would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
