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.

  1. Please provide option to disable spam filter.

    The spam filter is filtering out some very important emails. I am ok if 100 spans getting delivered in inbox but not ok even if 1 important email getting filtered out as spam. Please provide an option to disable the spam filter totally.

  2. Spam perimeters are very vague, keep getting spam with same words!

    Use a new logarithm that can learn words like claim, settlement, and compensation. I have marked these junk emails as spam at least 100 times and still get them.

  8. "There was a problem, email cannot be sent."

    HOW ABOUT EXPLAINING JUST WHAT THE PROBLEM IS????????
    I CAN'T FIX WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS WRONG.

    The addresses are correct. It's just a copy of SPAM being forwarded to the correct email hosts. That's all. First several went through just fine. Then I get one with a red box saying there was a problem.
    WHAT PROBLEM???????

    Sometimes yahoo really does suck. This being one of those times.
    And where is "support?" This looks like a forum post to me. NOT ACTUAL SUPPORT which cannot be found.
    The "help site" linked on this very page IS ALL SELF HELP LINKS…

  13. 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?
