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.

  2. Increase number of messages on a page to 50

    I get a lot of messages in a day. The inbox would be more manageable if I could see 50 messages on a page, especially since I like to sort them by sender so I could see what I want to read first.

  5. Go Back

    This new basic is awful...you switched me to the new email WITHOUT ME MAKING THE CHANGE! It is really bad - horrible use of screen space. So...I went back to "basic" which is a far cry from the old "basic" I now have no link insert, no emojis, no formatting and no settings icon. Just the worst...if it doesn't revert soon I'll go to gmail despite the hassle to change

  8. File attachment not working

    For the past two days, I've been trying to send a photo (yes, it is within the file size limits) and despite waiting up to two hours for the file to attach to the e-mail, it will not attach. Turns out, even trying to attach a document to an e-mail is not working either. FIX THIS!!!!!!

  12. Go back to the old version

    It takes me twice as long to get thru my mail, moving it to another folder;; blocking addresses is very cumbersome. I want to see all my mail on the same page.
