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.

  4. Extended options in User Folders

    Greetings to all !
    I am a happy and satisfied recipient of the wonderful services offered by Yahoo!
    That's why I express my gratitude with my greetings and sincere thanks to the whole team!
    please if I'm allowed, a little suggestion?
    The user of a yahoo address has the ability to keep addresses through those folders, etc.
    Here you can not expand the organization, meaning the user can have more options than usual, such as delete, rename.
    I think it would be more productive and satisfying to add Move, Merge, or move the mouse cursor to that folder in another…

  5. Let the email adress pop up when I start writing the mail! Thank you!

    Before, the email adress came popping up when I started to write the name of the person I was going to write to. Now I have to go through my whole adress list to find the person's adress, and then click.

  7. How to filter e-mail?

    In old version one was able to create filter, this helping sorting incoming mail in right folders. The funciton was accessed by right-clicking the message and choose "filter this message" from scroll down menue. Now I can't even find filer function in settings?

    Also, the tip of returning the old yahoo-mail mentioned in a thread, is not working. The menues at "the upper right on screen" does not do the trick.

    Best regards /Olof

  10. Don't force phone recovery

    I have already (reluctantly) given you an e-mail address as a form of recovery. Please stop trying to persuade me to use my phone number as well. I have used yahoo for almost 20 years and this is enough to make me migrate to another e-mail address provider entirely. Please stop, you already have an alternative e-mail address and I can give you more but I do not want to link my phone number with my e-mail address.

  16. Allow the use of KEYS!! I am forced to click everything with the mouse (e.g. delete messages)

    This is not a new idea- Just bring back what existed earlier: allow the deletion of messages by clicking on the "delete" key. At the moment, each message must be marked, and then you need to click WITH THE MOUSE on "delete" in Yahoo's tool bar. It is the year 2019.

  20. Put back the 'old' Basic Mail -- you've screwed up most everything with your silly change; "Sent" doesn't give TO WHOM it's sent.
