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.

Go back to basic calendar
New calendar is very unappealing, no dark break lines between days of week, stark white with no color options,
task colors for each calendar are too dark and task text too light to be seen clearly...
Overall, the appearance is NOT an improvement.167th ranked -
it reads one email then goes back to "all" email view
How much more can you make this suck? Not only does it not let you see more than one page of new emails (not scrollable, nor can you move to a 2nd page) but whether you select the last shown or first shown, when you delete the email, instead of moving to the next newest email (ie how it used to work) it pops out of the email view to the incomplete list view. ******* lame. Fix this dumbasses

Show all emails. ie stop making the basic version suckass to promote the new mail
my email was fine until I had to log out. I then was given the option to have a neutered version of my email or the new email. The new email is annoying because of the "Primary function" and inability to differentiate unread emails from read emails in dark mode. I reverted back and when I have over 100 emails unread, there is ONE SINGLE PAGE OF EMAIL SHOWING WHERE YOU CANNOT SCROLL DOWN TO THE LAST 100th UNREAD EMAIL. ALSO you can't select dark mode. This is absolute ********. Fix this or I'm moving my account to Google.

Not user-friendly
It is frustrating. I cannot highlight, underline, or bold my sentences when composing an email. I cannot drag and drop my attachments. The current feature is time-consuming.
Please, can I have the old features that I have been using for years? I have no complaints whatsoever.

Put it back the way it was! AND let us copy things onto the body of the email again!
You've made it totally cumbersome, not having all emails on "one page" instead of having to go to page 2?! Ridiculous! Also, who needs Notes and Contacts and Calendar on the same page. Twice the work!
And worst of all? We can't copy photos, documents, etc. ON THE OUTGOING EMAIL????
It's not sufficient in many cases to just have these things as Attachments! They are often seriatim with the content and context. REALLY BAD MOVE!167th ranked -

Restore Fonts, colors, emojis and freeze pane for delete and send
New Yahoo Mail's layout is visually difficult for me to follow, so I'm back to Old Yahoo Mail. However, The send-delete-spam headings at the top don't scroll along with the page. It would be so much easier to see what emails are being deleted if the delete button and emails were both showing. Maybe add a freeze pane option, like in Excel? Also, what happened to the font choices, font sizes, underlining, italics, and emoji options? I don't haven of this on my page. How about bring those backI'm beginning to think that maybe our relationship for so many years…

You have altered what is visible in the settings menu
For people that suffer from migraines, the settings menu was a godsend that allowed the opportunity to remain in dark mode as a white screen was too harsh a screen and can set off a migraine.

I am not receiveing many of my emails that I have received for years.....
I am not receiveing many of my emails that I have received for years such as JC Penney, Kroger, Harbor Freight, etc. I have not changed any of my options. Plz check my account. This all happened after Yahoo switched me from my old version of Yahoo. I still hate this New Yahoo Basic.

Not Mail, but NEW Calendar style
1) use light BG color (eeeeee, e.g.) for days backgrounds if no event, Month setting
2) use thin border around days in Month setting. The Day numbers are just floating in space
3) Event colors - nice to have selection, but the options are way too DARK! Can't read the text, only color that works is the off yellow. ALL BG event colors should be a LIGHT PASTEL
4) Defaults to day or week or something, I have to change to Month every day. Need a way to set that as Default167th ranked -

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!

MAKE A WAY TO SETUP A NEW LIST LIKE THE OLD, OLD YAHOO, NOT THE NEW AND IMPROVED (HA, HA!)
YOUR "HELP" IS TOTALLY USELESS AND INCORRECT. I WANT TO SET UP A NEW LIST AND NOWHERE IS THERE ANYTHING FOR CREATING A NEW LIST. I CAN ADD A CONTACT TO AN EXISTING LIST, BUT I WANT TO SET UP A NEW LIST. WHERE AND HOW DO I DO THAT, GO TO GMAIL.COM.
