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.

  3. Please do not post personal information (such as email addresses, phone numbers or names) on the forum.

  3. make it functional

    too many glitches. I like the old yahoo version that I have been using for may years. The new one is very glitchy and difficult to run my business. I go back to the old one and the old one doesn't work properly. Is this what we can expect from yahoo mail. If so, although I've use yahoo for over 20 + years to run my business, my frustration level is leading me to change to google

  6. LOVE the New Calendar format!

    Beautiful. Defaults to Monthly, highlights the current day with the Blue dot, and has pastel colors behind the text instead of the dark colors. Beautiful set-up! Thanks

  7. Unsecure feature

    In web version Yahoo Mail, I randomly clicked on "Delete" (I thought I've selected one email but nothing was selected) and it showed a message "Are you sure you want to permanently delete 1072 emails?" and the "yes" was preselected as default!
    If I didn't notice, I was going to delete all my years email history!

    More Detail:
    there was no email selected at all
    I clicked on delete by mistake
    a small window popped showing: "Are you sure you want to delete 1072 emails?" (I'm not sure about the exact words or the number, but that's not the point)…

    Hi, I'm getting more than fed up with verification codes and alternate emails. Either you stop this or I'm canceling my Yahoo account. Regards.

  16. 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…

  17. 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…

  19. 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!
