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.

I DO NOT want two-step verification to check my email.
Every weekend for the past several months, I have had to get a special code to login to my email account. Each time after receiving and entering the code I am asked to sign up for two-step verification. I DO NOT WANT TWO-STEP VERIFICATION. Please tell me how I can avoid this hassle.
Thank you

Give people the option to go back to the version they used prior to this version!
The version that is currently using, because your company decided to automatically update my old version is way to complicated and old features where taken away. This is way to much like gmail and I hate gmail and was using yahoo because gmail sucks. Maybe I will just have to have no email at all if yahoo wants to copy gmail!

email compatability
I cannot access my email account while using Firefox. Only Chrome will work. Also, allow a phone call selection to receive my six digit security code for two step verification. The option was eliminated a year ago by Yahoo.

Go back to original
I hate you can no longer BOLD parts of your message; that you can now only see one page of messages at time instead of a continual scroll down; that you can no longer have an easy way to block someone; that you can no longer use the 'click shift' option to highlight multiple messages for the same action (now you have to either select ALL or do ONE at a time, which is MUCH more time consuming).

Bring back the "move" button
My idea is simple. Quit changing the format. Why is there no move button anymore? Now I have to scroll through a drop down menu to move an email to the proper folder. Which I have to do AFTER I scroll the entire page up to where the buttons are after looking at the mail. It use to be the body of the letter would scroll down and the buttons and the folders would stay in view instead of moving with the body of the mail. Who the heck thought that up?

broken Links
Dear To Whom It May Concern, 8/26/2026
I don't know how many times I have given feed back regarding broken links in my email. The broken links, the up / down arrows on the right side of one's emails almost 100% of the time do not show up unless fixed and then the next time I do through my emails, again then they are again missing!!!

I like the old email (free) system better.
The current system is not visually appealing, and navigating through it is cumbersome. Is there any way to restore the previous system? Please advise.
