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.

Include actions at bottom of page as well as top.
At the top of the page are actions we can take to move emails to diffferent folders) (e.g. delete/trash, spam, labeled folders) but the same actions aren't at the bottom of the page. Please add them to the bottom so we don't have to scroll back and forth to move emails.

I used to have links in my signature and now the links have become inactive and there's no way to edit them to re-do the links. Bring back ink functionality in signatures.

What happened to being able to mass select emails via CTRL+ right click?
I used to be able to select an email, then CTRL+right click one several emails down and select them all at once without having to use the select all button and unselecting the ones I don't want included.
And are you going to answer any of these? Or return our beloved classic to us and quit screwing with as close to perfection as we're going to get?

I received an email from "CVS", but the sender's email address is offer@hotmail.com. And you wrote that it is "This message is from a trusted sender". Are you serious??? If I'd click on their link, it would take me some other website, not to the CVS!!!! And you think it is a trusted sender????

get rid of right panel that opens when one searches in Yahoo Plus
dunno why anyone thought that I need to see a panel when I search for an email that tells me how long I have been corresponding with someone, how many emails I've sent and what the subject was in the first email. How is any of this information remotely useful? I used to work as an human factors engineer for Boeing and this is pretty much the same as a pilot opening a chart and a panel displaying telling him/her how many times they have flown to that airport and when the first time was. Point of all of this…

Latency has increased. After clicking to open an email and clicking to delete an email, the latency is noticeably slower.

Get rid of the Actions button. It is more difficult to move e-mails to folders.
I can only see a few characters of each folder name. All the changes that Yahoo has made to mail have made it WORSE

Simplify moving an email to a different folder
I used to be able to just drag an email from my inbox to a different folder. It was simple. Now, it seems that I have 1) click the email, 2) click on Actions, 3) Click on the folder, 4) click apply. 4 clicks for every email I want to move - it's a pretty stupid method.

You made searching emails WORSE! and it was already sketchy. You can't search on a keyword in the email.
Put BACK searching for a keyword in the email. It sucked but it sometimes worked at least. Now it's gone completely.
