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.

  2. many headers and features are missing from classic look (old look

    for eg. MOVE when I used to click on I could type the name of the folder and it will auto-generate based on the letter/chars input which is now not possible

    Also headers in old-classic yahoo mail like News Finance Mail .. etc are missing in both old and new
    If I want to open new tab of mail then I can just click on 'Mail' in old mail while I am looking at mails in one tab and another tab will open, now I dont see that header so cannot open in one click

    happy to give more feedback…

  3. fix how to view storage/usage

    I can't find my mail storage. I've tried all the Help topics on yahoo, the internet in general, reddit and youtube. I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO VIEW HOW MUCH SPACE I AM USING. It's just not there. Not in the lower left hand corner, there's no gear icon, "Settings" does not give me a "more settings" option.

  4. Maybe block certain spam mail...

    like "******** wet **..." you know, phrases like that, maybe the word "*." And similar words that are totally sex related. It wasn't that big of a problem in the past, but now it's worse than prevalent.

  7. Please make it easy to report hacked e-mail accounts and delete resultant fake messages..

    I don't about coding but
    1. when hacked I had great trouble getting back in so I could change my password.
    2. I couldn't see an obvious way to send out a warning message to all my contacts to warn them to ignore begging messages.
    Please see how 1 & 2 above can be sorted thanks.

  11. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"!

    My mail summary list is suddenly in a HUGE font with lots of EMPTY SPACE on the page. I want to see the number of emails listed as previously, with more visible at once! WHY HAS THIS CHANGED????
    I selected "Go back to BASIC" but it is still enormous and very few messages visible at a time.
    HOW DO I RESTORE THE PREVIOUS MAIL LIST FORMAT???
    S-C-R-E-A-M!

  12. Lost email when deleted in Draft Folder

    I was responding to an email that included multiple recipients. My response was meant to go to the original sender. However, it was automatically stored in the Draft folder. When I tried to change the destination email, I lost the email of the original sender so I deleted the draft to start over, BUT YAHOO MAIL DELETED THE WHOLE EMAIL FROM THE SENDER SO I LOST EVERYTHING AND CAN NOT RECOVER IT. DELETING A DRAFT SHOULD NOT DELETE THE ORIGINAL EMAIL!

  19. 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.
