    The dark mode in the new Yahoo Mail currently feels too dark, especially in the left sidebar with options like Mail, Send, Drafts, etc. The text there is gray, but I think it should be white for better readability. When an item is selected, it would also help to use a purple highlight, similar to the selected email style in the message list when opening a specific email.

    Another important point is readability. Comparing the old and new interfaces side by side, the old Yahoo Mail lets me see more of the email content at once. In the new version, everything feels more zoomed in, which reduces readability. That is also something I noticed in Outlook, and one of the reasons I did not enjoy using it. Yahoo Mail used to feel easier to read.

    There is also an issue with dark mode affecting the appearance of some emails. Sometimes the interface forces dark mode onto the email content itself, which can make certain messages look worse or harder to read. If possible, please add a toggle that lets the email body remain unaffected by the app theme, so the content appears as close as possible to its source formatting.

    Please take a close look at the old Yahoo Mail interface and bring back the elements that made it work so well, especially the better readability and clearer visual hierarchy.

    Also, if it isn't too much, add a slider for how dark the background is in dark mode, so we can tweak it if someone prefers the current look of Yahoo. Lastly, a hue slider would be great too, if not then similar to Discord's themes, they are very customizable.
