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.

Where are my previous mails?
Hi [Support/Team],
I’ve noticed that some of my emails are being deleted automatically without any action on my part. Strangely, they are not showing up in the Archive or Deleted Items folders either.
I'm particularly concerned because I can't access emails from the previous year—they seem to have disappeared entirely. Could you please help me understand why this is happening and guide me on how to recover all of my emails from last year?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,

STOP REQUIRING 2 STEP VERIFICATION
I TRAVEL EXTENSIVELY FOR WORK. IT TAKES ME OVER AN HOUR TO LOG IN FROM A DIFFERENT LOCATION. THAT IS STUPID. IF I WANT TO ASSUME THE RISKS OF NOT HAVING 2 STEP VERIFICATION THEN THAT'S ON ME. STOP IT!! IT'S STUPID!

Compact The inbox view; Allow user to config how many emails are in initial view (web version - not talking about mobile phone email)
I really do not like the new Yahoo Mail. So much so that I'm forced to stomach the reduced 'basic' version that used to be great!
Anyway, one thing that would make me switch --
Let each email, in the inbox view, be way more compact (like Gmail!!) so a single line of text is there - no white space, no icons, no images, no stupid different fonts - none of that useless garbage.
Why?
This way I can see way more mail in my inbox at initial load without having to either click a button at the top right…

Set my sort preference as my default
I would love it if I could set my sorting preference as a default instead of having to set it every single time I open my email. It is a pain especially because I have to reset it every time I file an email after reading it. So if I have 100 emails, I have to reset my sorting preference 100 times! The options could still be available, but my preference should be set as my preference to be my default...

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.

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.

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…

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.
