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:
- 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.

Delete and Spam button positions
Separate the Delete and Spam buttons to avoid hitting the wrong button. Depending on the screen, inbox or folder and actual email, the layout jumps making it more difficult to have the buttons next to each other.

Go back to the old version. Each time you come out with a "new and improved" version, it's much worse and way more tedious to perform tasks.
You have made moving emails more tedious. I've gone back to the older version but even then, some things are different. Your beta testing and testers suck!!

Fix the To: line
When I try to put a new address into the To: line, your system inserts a similar but not identical address in its place. For example. I just tried to send to membership@prospectpark.org. Instead your system filled in membership@prospect.org. It bounced. Similar things have happened several times. Can you fix this?

NEED algorithm stopping spam like this
PLEASE write an algorithm to stop '****' like this from getting through the system. I should not have to deal with this daily to mark as 'spam' when it is OBVIOUS.

One click switch between accounts
I have more than one Yahoo mail account, for different purposes. I used to be able to click on the user icon and change between accounts. Now I have to go to the home Yahoo page, click the icon, choose the account, login again, explain again that I don't want biometrics or two factor authentication, and choose to view email, and close the tab with the home page on it. And often you make me verify my recovery information. It has been the same for years. It will continue to be the same. This is not useful, it is annoying…

Cannot control Enhanced Contacts
Hello,
I am using Yahoo Mail Basic (and have no desire to switch to a newer version), and I have noticed that the people I correspond with are automatically being added to my contacts without any action on my side. According to the Help pages, I should be able to disable this feature by disabling Enhanced Contacts, but there is no control setting for Enhanced Contacts on the Contacts page that I am able to access.
When I click on Settings > Contacts, I just see a list of people that I have added manually to the list. So, I…

It is horrible to have to sign in in another account to get a code to sign in in yahoo mail
It is horrible to have to sign in in another account to get a code to sign in in yahoo mail! It is annoying and completely useless if a password is give. This is done in order to steal more information from the users to bombard later with ads. IT IS NOT A SECURITY FEATURE AND DOES NOT PROVIDE MORE SECURITY THAN A PASSWORD!

EITHER different COLORS for the "Favorite Stars" or perhaps NUMBERS
Dear To Whom It May Concern,
I want to ORGANIZE my folders, emails, etc, from say most wanted, needed to keep to those I would like to keep but not as much as those most wanted to keep...also, this ADDING the COLOR SELECTION to the stars would and could help others organize their email by category and so on. ---Just a thought

The directions for viewing Base Storage used do not work. In Settings Nor in any other check
I happen to like your base setting desktop e-mail better than the full featured version, except that the directions for finding my storage used is wrong and I have to use my Android App to do so. This should be a basic function if this account is to remain free. What gives?

Annoying safety measure
You ask me the safety code from the mail 2 when I try to sign in for mail 1, but to access that code you ask me the safety code from the mail 1 (exactly the mail which I try to access).
