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.

Here are some guidelines for using this forum:

  1. Please search and vote before posting! If your idea (or an idea very similar to yours) has already been posted, please vote for it. Duplicated ideas may be moved.
  2. This forum is for feedback and ideas only. Unfortunately, we cannot provide support here. For support, please visit our help site.
  3. Please do not post personal information (such as email addresses, phone numbers or names) on the forum.

The Yahoo product feedback forum requires a valid Yahoo ID and password. If you do not have a Yahoo ID or the password to your Yahoo ID, please sign-up for a new account.

If you have a valid Yahoo ID and password, follow these steps if you would like to remove your posts, comments, votes, and/or profile from the Yahoo product feedback forum.

  4. Font and Text

    How do I change the font and text size in settings? I cannot read the existing font and text size without constantly having to change it.

    Or should I just go back to gmail which is more user friendly?

  14. Fix your spam filters!

    Shipping notifications and updates from the Federal effing government aren't even going to spam. They're just not arriving AT ALL.
    And yet, I am inundated with unfiltered actual spam daily. Get your act together, you choads.

  20. Why do I have to constantly get a security code to sign in to my email account???

    I did not activate the two step verification!!! Why am I having to use all these security to sign in??? I had no trouble at all until yahoo decided I had trouble...so they are requiring me to jump through a bunch of hoops to sign in to a basic email account!!!
