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.

Everyone...go to gmail
This appearance is horrible. First Microsoft Outlook goes down the toilet... Next Yahoo Mail goes down the toilet. The only user friendly email is now gmail...who would have thought?

Bring back the old Attachment method!
PLEASE go back to the old way of attaching things.
I am a photographer and send images A LOT - but your new way of attaching them is SO CLUNKY. The old way I could attach 3, 4, 5 or 6, or even more in one go. Why change something that worked so well?167th ranked -

I am not a BASIC user, I'm a paying Yahoo+ user
I tried your new version and didn't like it because it wastes so much of my precious screen space. Specifically, I don't want or need the right panel where it shows "Starred" messages. So I went back to the old version. But the old version no longer exists for Yahoo+ users. It just has the Yahoo Mail BASIC version, so I no longer have a reading pane (and probably other features). So you're FORCING me to use the new version. That does not sit well with me at all. If you say I can go back to the old version…

You can give me back my preview pane!!!
I tried your NEW mail again. It still bites. So I went back to the old. And now my preview pane is gone, and I cannot get it back. If this is your way of forcing everyone to the new version, I got to say, it really sucks. I've been a loyal customer for decades, and now I'm going to have to move to Google just because you decided to change things for the worse. I'm really really ****** about this! Can you tell?

You broke my mail!
I tried your new mail, again. And hated it. But when I went back, now I can only see the mail list. Before I had the messages list on the left, and the message on the right. But I don't see any way to get back to that. THANKS BUNCHES!

Basic things Yahoo should address
Why in the mail, working with the Inbox, and scrolling down to other emails in the Inbox, why does the left side have to move too. Such a pain in the rear end.

Sell to gmail
This is a useless email format. Too difficult to navigate. An utter disaster.

Start over
It was great before. You screwed it up. It is painfully slow. The appearance is a disaster. Both Outlook and Yahoo Mail are forcing users to move to gmail. So unfortunate. But oh well...ignore the users and this is what happens.

Contacts
Are a wasted space. Show only name, email, number. Shows way more than one time. Does not show address.

Notifications on big changes.
Basic changes everyone should have is, there could be more. In form people of your 20 GB email account limit. You should show what the owner's account level actually is. There is nothing in the old Yahoo mail. You should tell the owner's of the email that you have changed the emails to 25 per page and inform them that they will have to look at the top right corner to see if there are more pages. These items really suck when you don't know they even exist or where they are found.

I liked having "this week" and "last week" batching
It made it so much easier to find an email from a week or so ago.
If I wanted to use Gmail, I'd use Gmail. You are not Gmail. Gmail sucks. Your version is getting worse with these "enhancements." They are not enhancements or improvements! They're awful!

Another nonsense change.
Stupidity doesn't help much. If something isn't broken, why try to fix it? This new change, the mindless programmer and IT manager both thought, "This is the next best thing to happen to Yahoo. "Let the people decide, and don't try to imagine and enforce what you people think is best for the users. I strongly believe that, as always, there will be people who praise the change, but you will also find people who believe this is not the most functional change for Yahoo Mail.

Harder to switch between accounts.
Previously, you could much easier switch between accounts. You could go to the upper right corner and there would be a dropdown option. It no longer exists. You must now go to the main Yahoo site and switch. Very annoying.

OPINION SOBRE NUEVO YAHOO MAIL.
Los felicito por haber logrado que el correo yahoo sea MÀS COMPLICADO, MÀS LENTO, MAS DIFICIL Y FRANCAMENTE USERENEMY, HACIENDO QUE UNO PIERDA EL TIEMPO EN CURVA DE APRENDIZAJE Y PASOS AGREGADOS SIN SENTIDO Y ADEMÀS USO MAYÙSCULAS PORQUE HAN IMPUESTO UN TAMAÑO DE LETRA DIFÌCIL DE LEER.
