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.

  3. Old Format

    Need option to revert back to the old format (prior to current basic mail format). I have used the setting to revert back, but only option is this new, difficult to use format.
    Unable to determine how to collapse folders (settings option much too ambiguous). Simplify and offer clear options for utilizing offered features.
    Request for help is only offered to paid subscription users. Make it available for everyone.

  9. DONT BE AN IDIOT!

    When i need to sign in to my email through a new OS, you ask for verification. But you make the email option inactive for click selection. What's your ********* point there?? I can't get a code through my alt emails? More Options get me nothing useful either. How idiotic can you make your system to be? And i need to sign in every page of yours while signed in till you can block my email???

  12. Add a Sort condition, and make Moving to a folder easier

    Add Sort by Subject. Some newsletter come frequently but only occasionally on a featured subject. It's not a vital feature but might have a few uses.
    I use Mail Basic for newsletter because it uses less memory & this is an old computer.
    One feature with Outlook I'd like to see here is with Move to a Folder . If the last time I moved an email to, say, the MaloneFolder, the next time a select Move to a folder, the "MaloneFolder" will appear at the top of the list, so I don't have to scroll down. In Outlook, I…

    The new yahoo mail is a nightmare to use, I could not sign into any of my accounts depsite the passwords being correct and the recovery details being correct, it kept on asking me to either call a toll free number to make a new account in which I would loose access to all my old account posts.

  19. Stop Junk Mail

    I have a gmail account and get NO junk mail. For every time I check my Yahoo account, it is jam packed with junk mail. For every email that is considered junk mail by you, it should be automatically deleted. You have competition and should be taking measures to ensure you're just as good or better than them.
