How to Customize Your Yahoo Mail
Let me confess this. Yahoo does not provide many tools to make changes to its interface. You will be disheartened to see how limited the options that are present.
However, do not let that dishearten you. Using only the options present, I have made some changes to my inbox that look much better than the default view.
You can customize the Yahoo Mail interface using wallpapers which you can choose to set as the background. There are default themes present, such as light and dark modes, which you can choose from.
Yahoo also allows you to customize the inbox layout. This can help you to read emails quickly. If the built-in fonts are an eyesore, you can change them too.
And finally, these customizations are not only limited to the website but are present in the app for Android/iOS as well.
