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.

If you have a valid Yahoo ID and password, follow these steps if you would like to remove your posts, comments, votes, and/or profile from the Yahoo product feedback forum.

  1. Enable management of Yahoo storage in the basic mail settings

    If I have to manage my storage, I should be able to do it somewhere in the basic mail interface.

  2. Better security control

    I get so much junk email and spam and the only way I can manage it is by putting 100s of addresses into the blocked addresses. I suggest Yahoo come up better methods for managing junk email and spam - especially those email addresses that may be malicious. I really don't want to even use Yahoo for email anymore because of how much junk I get.

  3. When you delete an email, make it so it doesn't go back to page 1 of your emails. This is how it was until just a couple of days ago.

    Up until this last week, Basic Email which I used, let you go through your emails and delete page by page and just bring up the next email under the one you deleted. However, now, when you delete an email, it takes you all the way back to Page 1 of your email list which means you have to click over the page number you were on before to continue deleting older emails. I don't understand why this changed within the last week. It's very frustrating.

  5. undo "back to page 1" change

    Something changed this week. It use to be if I navigated to another page of my inbox (say page 4) and deleted emails from page 4 using the check boxes on the left to select items for deletion, after I clicked "Delete" the screen refreshed and I was still on page 4. Now when I do the same steps, after clicking Delete I end up back on page 1 and have to navigate back to the page I was on before deleting. Very annoying. Please switch back.
    Thanks

  8. Put it back the way it was before the recent change in how uploads are done.

    Recently, adding photos in the oldest available version results in the message “Compose Failed The message you are trying to open is no longer available. Back to Inbox [link]”. When I click on the link, two new messages are in the inbox, one with the attachment! The other without the attachment. To add another attachment, I must open the one with the attachment and select Forward, then add the attachment. This combination of actions must be repeated for every attachment I want to add. 5 attachments, 5 forwards and duplicates. It’s a mess. Please put it back the way it…

  9. Verification code

    Verification code is a disaster. I ask for it to be resent many times only for them all to eventually arrive all together sometimes after a wait of at least 10 minutes. Have checked all my setting and can find no reason for this. Please explain.

  12. I would like the old email

    I like to use the down arrow to choose the emails of "unread" "new" "all" etc. I usually choose the "unread" choice and read through them before deleting.

    Please reset the emails

    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…

  19. 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.
