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.

Can't edit forwarded messages
You've got to be kidding me! So now when I forward a message I have the choice of sending the entire thing or deleting the entire original message. No way to delete part of it, not even the part showing the person's name and email, which is a privacy issue. Again, do you even TEST this stuff before forcing us to use it?

get rid of right panel that opens when one searches in Yahoo Plus
dunno why anyone thought that I need to see a panel when I search for an email that tells me how long I have been corresponding with someone, how many emails I've sent and what the subject was in the first email. How is any of this information remotely useful? I used to work as an human factors engineer for Boeing and this is pretty much the same as a pilot opening a chart and a panel displaying telling him/her how many times they have flown to that airport and when the first time was. Point of all of this…

Readd the "return to folder" button
In the old basic mail a week ago, when you clicked on an email, there would be a button in the top left that said "Return to <FOLDER>" with whatever folder you had been in. Clicking that would take you back to viewing the folder in the state it had been when you left, including if any emails were checked off or not.
Now, that button is missing. So there's no easy way to get back to viewing what you were looking at before you clicked an email.
Please restore the "Return to <FOLDER>" button.

why did you get rid of the dropdown box options??
the old system allowed you to right-click on checked item and do the selection. now, we have to check the item(s), go to the top of the account to the "actions" box, then click on GO. SO MANY MORE STEPS!!! this is not efficient at all. guess it is time to get rid of Yahoo and move on to other email options.

Restore functionality to sort by Sender within a folder.
I noticed today that I can no longer sort email messages within a folder by Sender. This is an important way to find and manage emails, since the Search function isn't working very well.

Why do I have to scroll way down to reply to and then to send an email? That option would be better placed at the top or directly under.
Please move the reply and send buttons closer to the body of the email.

Put back the 'Not Read" folder that was in the old email.
You took away the "Not read" folder. Now I have just the Inbox which has new mail AND old mail mixed in. I don't need to see the mail after I already read it!!! NOT HAPPY!

Put it back the way it was before the recent change in how uploads are done.
Recently, adding photos in the oldest available version results in the message “Compose Failed The message you are trying to open is no longer available. Back to Inbox [link]”. When I click on the link, two new messages are in the inbox, one with the attachment! The other without the attachment. To add another attachment, I must open the one with the attachment and select Forward, then add the attachment. This combination of actions must be repeated for every attachment I want to add. 5 attachments, 5 forwards and duplicates. It’s a mess. Please put it back the way it…

The Header with search and other tabs takes 1.5 inches space. Tabs can be smaller width!
The tabs 'search your mailbox', 'Account info', 'Inbox, contact, notepad, calendar' and 'Delete, Spam' action tabs are so wide and take up about 1.5 inches of space on the browser.
The width of the Header can be smaller.69th ranked -

In Search results, show folder that emails found are in-
When searching at top level (all emails), in the search results, add a column to show the folder that the emails were found in.
This helps me to find emails on topic / keyword searched for, and to know where they are filed. It helps YahooMail as if I do not need to create another folder if one already exists that I can use. Finally I can keep my email more organized/less cluttered if I have a tool to locate emails by topic, then I am more likely to clean out those that are no longer needed.
Note: I think…

Auto Refresh Inbox
When a new message comes in you put a notification on the inbox page. Why not dispense with the notification and just auto refresh the page either when something comes in or on a regular schedule such as every five minutes.
