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.

  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.

  3. signing into mail

    Can you please STOP! these deplorable sign-in's! I am sick and tired of these text codes, etc... Why can't you just leave things be. Every time I must sign-in, I must use a dumb code! This is very annoying! I am thinking of changing my email services to another provider, where this garbage is NOT used. proton mail services seem to be worth while site to have. NO stupid "text-codes" just a regular sign-in. Also, what happens if my phone is not fuctioning? How can we sign-in? Therefore please STOP! these unwarranted codes! Plus, I get a pop-up page that…

  11. Possible spam named "Yahoo support team" from email info@repressionist.net

    It would be a good idea if Yahoo provide us with Yahoo contact email address where we could send a checking email to find out what message really comes from Yahoo.

  18. You could... make my contacts list available.

    I'm apparently using a "nonstandard" version of Yahoo Mail, Web based (using my browser), because I'm prompted at the upper right to "Switch to the Standard Version of Yahoo Mail".

    When I click on the "Contacts" tab, so as to access my moderate-length list of contacts, I'm simply taken to a page saying only "Your mail is temporarily unavailable. Please wait a moment and reload the page. Learn more".

    EDIT: In addition, when I start to type anything into the "To..." line, Yahoo suggests all manner of random trash email addresses I've never seen before instead of using the contact…

  19. Stop excessive SPAM

    SPAM was kept to a minimum and the last month or so my SPAM folder needs to be emptied several times per day for fear that I may miss and overlook an important message. What new settings did Yahoo make to my email account that is allowing this to happens?

  20. Roll back some of the excessive multi-factor ****

    I have a two part issue.
    First, I did not authorize the new multi-factor authentication protocol that has recently shown up. I keep my accounts separate for a reason, so forcing me to access another one to get into this one constitutes a security violation and potentially opens the door to privacy issues.
    Second, in looking at the "settings" option for a way to fix this problem, I find that there are virtually no settings available to review. You should be as ashamed of yourselves as I am of you.
