Mailbox design
You can change your mailbox's formating. Just choose a look for your interface or use one of the suggested themes.
Interface layout
Two-panel (default) interface
By default, Yandex.Mail uses a two-panel interface. The message preview is displayed on a separate page to the right from the list of folders. You can also view a message in a list of messages in this interface: it will be displayed above the list.
To return to the two-panel interface after switching to the three-panel one:
- Click Layout (in the upper right corner).
- Choose a look for your interface:
Three-panel interface
If you want to both view the list of messages and the message content, you can switch to the three-panel interface and open messages to the right or below the list of messages. To do this:
- Click Layout (in the upper right corner).
- Choose a look for your interface:
The three-panel interface makes it easier to handle emails; it uses a different email selection method.
Compact mode
If you want the list of messages to take up all the usable area of the screen and to display more messages without scrolling:
- Enable the option (top-right corner of the screen) and the messages will be shown more compactly.
- Enable the option (top-right corner of the screen) and your message list will cover the top line of the menu as well.
- Click the
icon to collapse the folder list to icons and only show the system folders.
Adjust the folder list width: place the cursor over the right border (it'll look like ←||→), left-click and move the list border to the right or left.
- Enable show folders containing unread messages only (click
in the upper-right corner, then Other) to make the view more compact.
Light interface
If your Internet connection is slow, the web browser does not support Javascript, or you use a special web browser with accessibility features that reads the page text aloud, you can switch to the light interface of Yandex.Mail. To do this, click Light version in the lower part of the page.
The light interface is designed only to perform simple actions — create and read email, view attachments, set labels, and so on. It doesn't support themes and doesn't allow you to configure personalized buttons or filters.
To switch back to the fully functional default interface of Yandex.Mail, click Full version.
Themes
To apply a theme, click 
in the upper-right corner and select the theme you want.
Mail window size
You can adjust the size of the Yandex.Mail window. Hold the cursor on the right border and it will change to this: ←||→. Then left-click and hold while dragging the mailbox border to the right or to the left.
Mail viewing options
In the two-panel interface, you can view the message text in a general list of messages or on a separate page. To read a message in the list:
- Click in the upper-right corner.
- Choose Other.
- Enable the open message in list of messages option.
- Save changes.
How can I change the Yandex.Mail language?
There are a few different ways to change your Yandex.Mail interface language:
- On the email page
-
Flip the language switch in the lower right corner of the page:
- In Yandex.Mail settings
-
Go to All settings and select a language in the left column.
Formatting problems
If you can't change the interface theme or there are problems with formatting or buttons, try refreshing the page by clicking Ctrl +F5. If the problem persists, clear the browser cache and delete all cookies. Then try the action again.
Temporarily disable all plug-ins and extensions in the browser. Often they are the cause of Yandex.Mail errors. If ad blockers or antivirus extensions are causing problems with Yandex.Mail, then you can add the Mail page to the list of exceptions for that particular extension.
Your browser might also be outdated. Install the latest version of your browserthe latest version of your browser.
