    How can you improve things? You could make Yahoo Mail functional like it's been since I first signed up for this address in 1999.

    How many unread messages do I have? Don't know, b/c the only place that shows up is in the actual window tab. When you're like me and have 50 tabs open at once (PhD student here, I need to shuffle back and forth between a lot of books and journal articles) it sure would be nice to glance at the sidebar and find the information I need.

    You say try it first, we hope you like it. I've tried it and I recognize a ploy to get me to sign up for your paid product.

    If this is "improved" you're not going to be selling many upgrades. No one in their right mind wants to pay $5/mo for something Juno got right in 1996. This UI/UX is cumbersome, ugly, hard to read, lacks information, is NOT helped by the AI you're using to save overhead, and it's ugly, ugly, ugly.

    I've been just about legally blind since I was four years old, and the only way I can sort of see what's going on in this downgrade is to bump up the magnification on my browser to 120%, and that pushes even more out of my line of sight.

    Even in dark mode, this dreary space sets off my vertigo like looking at one of those black and white striped optical illusions. Avoiding that is one of the reasons I've stuck it out here for so long. Gmail/Outlook, along with being a nightmare to navigate, make me dizzy.

    Obviously, ABLE-BODIED PEOPLE WITH EXCELLENT VISION ARE NOW YOUR SINGLE DEMOGRAPHIC. These are the people least likely to use this service and Yahoo in general.

    You'd think I'd be used to this kind of disregard by now, but it's incredibly frustrating, especially when my job and university are contracting their email out to Google, that I don't have a usable fallback anymore.
