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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Broken features in new interface
- Clicking the blue "unread" marker no longer marks message as read
- Shift+K no longer marks selected messages as read
- Message load times have skyrocketed (4x on average)
Please stop trying to be Google. If I wanted Google I'd go to Google.

Bring back the 'Images' option that allowed you to view all images sent/received
We used to be able to see all the images in one location by selecting an "images" option. I found that feature to be unique to Yahoo and that is one of the ONLY reasons I maintained my Yahoo email this long. I would like that back, cause to be honest, the usability has degraded and the fact that having a Yahoo account is seen as outdated as it is, but if the ability to view all the images is gone, I will just start using a more modern server like Gmail.

The top action line HAS to freeze when scrolling! Who would ever want to scroll up and down to do something.
The top action line HAS to freeze when scrolling! Who would ever want to scroll up and down to do something like deleting or archiving. Get it together Yahoo. There aren't many of us still using you.
