New Mail Basic
Welcome to our Yahoo Basic Mail feedback forum! This is a place for you to help shape the new Yahoo Basic Mail experience. We review the most popular, feasible ideas from this forum to make positive changes to your Yahoo Mail.
Basic Mail provides base functionality like reading and writing messages, but does not include many of the advanced options. To use these features, we recommend upgrading to full-featured version of Yahoo Mail.

Group email not working
New mail cannot be sent to a new group
New mail cannot be sent to an old group
Existing contacts cannot be added to a new group
Existing contacts do not display group affiliations
I guess groups are not groups at Yahoo any longer. Maybe they are just there for decorations.6th ranked -

There are no icons for scrolling through messages. WTF?

This new design is broken and does not show me all of my mail.
For the past week, every time I clicked to use the old version, new mails would show up. Now that button is gone, and every time I open Yahoo it says there are new mails, but there is no new mail in my boxes. Thank you so much for breaking things so that I can not access my mail. It's wonderful, considering most of my tax documents are electronic and associated with this email.

Emptying Trash
Hey! Yahoo has managed to create another great annoyance!! Now, when you click the icon to empty your trash, you are greeted with a piece-of-**** "Updating all messages" dialog box with a progress bar!! Who thought of that? Not needed, just empty the trash and tell me it's empty!! No "updating all messages" crockery necessary!!!!

Very slow and bad interface
Please send back me to the older version of the yahoo, this version is very poor, it is very slow, every process has more steps and how one can make a simple process difficult. Yahoo have complicated the things in the mail

It's ugly and the select all does not work.
I click select all, it flashes complete on the left side but nothing is selected. It looks like a FisherPrice child version of email. Maybe it is a kid's toy and that why it is not functional.

Stop changing! You have achieved nothing but upsetting customers. Awful design
Stop changing! You have achieved nothing but upsetting customers. Awful design and you constant auto playing of news clips has given me to leave. GMX offers free email service with no adverts, switching out my account.

Leave things alone
the old mail was fine but you screwed it up. the font is too small, everytime i open an attachment I get a new tab open that is empty, attachments don't attach, and the list goes on. Quit screwing with the basic functionality and give us the option of going back to the old interface. You've broken what worked
