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.

Why do I have to scroll way down to reply to and then to send an email? That option would be better placed at the top or directly under.
Please move the reply and send buttons closer to the body of the email.

Chatrooms
Yahoo should bring back chatrooms. They are an essential part of a social network and allows people to chat with others locally, nationally and internationally. Chatrooms would bring back web traffic to Yahoo and generate increased revenue. Yahoo should bring them back again.

I liked having "this week" and "last week" batching
It made it so much easier to find an email from a week or so ago.
If I wanted to use Gmail, I'd use Gmail. You are not Gmail. Gmail sucks. Your version is getting worse with these "enhancements." They are not enhancements or improvements! They're awful!

The tabs 'search your mailbox', 'Account info', 'Inbox, contact, notepad, calendar' and 'Delete, Spam' action tabs are so wide and take up about 1.5 inches of space on the browser.

Why do I have to scroll back up to delete emails that are checked?
Why do I have to scroll back to the top to delete emails and how do I remedy this? It is a huge time waster! Additionally, I am forced to scroll back up in order to hit delete after checking the boxes on emails. Another drag on my time! And lastly, why do I get routed back to the home page after deleting a read email? I need to go to the next email. Please fix this immediately! I have always preferred to look at my email on my desktop because it was easier than my phone but not anymore.
