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.

  3. Give your customers the chance to go back to the old basic mail. So much better!

    Go back to the old basic mail. You turned a great email service into a piece of *. You dont even give a chance to go back to the old basic mail, which is stupid. Yahoo really ****** this time with the email.

  5. Knock off the ID verification mania

    Sick to death of identification challenges. Don't mind the occasional ID verification, but EVERY SINGLE TIME I go from any one of my accounts to the other, I have to go through ID verification AGAIN. The Auto Idiot had lengthy and useless suggestions. When I meet all of them, there is still no solution. Is there any resolution without dropping the accounts?

  10. Allow the user to delete the folders and emails within it.

    A screen shot is available upon request.
    I receive the following error when attempting:
    "There was a problem! Sorry, but we had a little problem removing this folder. Please try again".
    I did try again, several times. This seems to be more than a "little" problem. Please allow me to delete the folders, or you should be responsible for any costs with necessary increased storage if you cannot allow the user to delete unnecessary emails and folders.

  11. Stop blocking email sign in from different ip location all the time

    On vacations or job travels and dynamic IP's from our ISP, we use different IP's all the time to access our email.

    So, if the unusual activity doesn't compromise our recovery options or password change or spamming my contacts, just after logging in, it should not interfere with our access to the email account. Being the only reason acceptable where it would be needed the recovery email to perform the actions above, when accessing it from a different IP location.

    Since 1995, I haven't trusted Microsoft's Outlook or similar apps, for the reason that they are all-time-logged and for security…

  14. Have unlimited use to block spam messages

    The current ability to only block 1000 spam messages is not enough. I receive multiple spam messages daily. I receive some really disgusting spam every day. I have maxed out the 1000 limit. I am extremely frustrated with the type and amount of X-rated messages. The only way that somewhat limits them is to block these messages, which I can no longer do with the limited usage. Please help!

  16. Pressing Enter while the cursor is in the "Subject" field should not automatically send a message

    Pressing Enter while the cursor is in the "Subject" field ends a message without prompting. Why in the world would anyone want this!? It is far too easy to accidentally send a message this way. Is this a bug?

    Pressing Enter while the cursor is in the "To" field does nothing. The Enter key should behave similarly in the "Subject" field.

  17. Delete spam without opening

    Yahoo Mail Basic needs to be more supportive of its customers, whether they are paying or not.

    I’m receiving an unbelievable amount of spam, and I can’t block these harassing emails because the only option Yahoo gives me is to create filters—which requires opening the emails first.

    Please make this easier for users. I actually had to delete the account from my iPhone because the daily flood of spam became overwhelming.

    thank you
