This new layout was made with one thing in mind: more space for ads to save Yahoo. This drastic change however, will backfire, forcing people to go over to Gmail.
The old layout was tailored for ... serving email. It was compact, detailed, and dependable. Space was used with efficiency in mind, and you could even customize its aesthetics for a business look or a friendlier vibe.
This new layout is not for a heavy user, my immediate reaction was how much unused space there was, contrasted by how small the message preview window was. You'd think it's a no brainer to just expand the preview window to the right, and minimize secondary page elements, but then that wouldn't align with the ads first, user last thing they've got going on. Here I am scrolling in 11 dimensions just to read the whole message that is too wide and too tall for the preview window, while HALF the page is empty!
This is only one bad aspect, but there are unlimited quirks to this new layout. For example:
- Can't see new message icon on connected inboxes.
- Dark mode affects the email content for some reason, which ruins how the sender intended the email to look and makes some text unreadable (that's a corporate nightmare in and of itself).
- No longer able to exit an email by pressing "esc", creating privacy concerns.
- The incredibly problematic AI summaries that no one asked for, causing even more privacy concerns.
- Can't empty trash from the outside.
- Multiple clicks necessary to switch inboxes, access trash, spam and other folders.
- Claustrophobic.
- Oh and, it doesn't update the inbox as frequently. Try sending a test email to yourself, it'll take about a minute to see it in your inbox, unless you refresh (welcome to new basic mail).
I've relied on Yahoo for almost two decades, but I consider this too much, so I think it's time to switch.
