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.

    Muchas veces es necesario poner énfasis en alguna palabra o frase, por lo que se hace necesario un mecanismo para ello, sea resaltar en color o poner la o las palabras en negrita.

  4. Fix my email count, forever 15 emails when I have 2, or three, or one.

    My home page shows mail in upper right corner. The number shown is 15. I can have five emails or 5000, it constantly reads 15. Also, I cannot sign into gmail, as it keeps telling my my password has changed. I KNOW IT IS THE CORRECT PASSWORD. Do I have a virus in my machine? it won't regognize my Moto G, but sees an old Alcatel, and a Dogee phone, both are out of circulation. I even rebooted my 10 disc, everything works but my Moto just dosen't show up on my desktop. I'm questioning my sanity....

  6. Taking to court, FTC, FCC

    I have been using Yahoo email for close to 25 years after policy has been changed that jury must decide, FTC and FCC. Policy could have been changed earlier but after 25 years to save data it’s very difficult. After close to 25 years, I am missing lot of information and causing me huge problems.

  8. Able to open different email accounts in different tabs at the same time

    Up until this morning, I had my yahoo.com account open in one tab, and my rocketmail.com account open in a different tab at the same time. I use both accounts. One is personal, the other is business. For some reason, starting this morning, if I open the yahoo.com account in one tab, then open the rocketmail.com account in a new tab, the original tab flips to the rocketmail account. I don't want that. I want BOTH accounts open AT THE SAME TIME. Which used to be possible. So to me it is obvious that there is some kind of bug…

  11. You can't "Trash" your Drafts any more

    If I create a Draft that I then want to delete becasue I changed my mind - there is not "Trash" icon while creating a Draft when there used to be in the older version. Not efficient to have to close the draft, clikc on the check box next to it and THEN hit Delete

  12. When you click on an email and then want to "X" the tab out to get back to your list - there is no "X"

    When you bring up an email, there is no "X" next to the "Inbox" tab as there used to be, so that you can close that email and go back to the list.

  13. Show new emails as soon as them arrive

    So, I noticed that when a new email comes in , on the left folder view, I can see the highlighted "1" but in my view to the right of that, the new email isn't there. I have to actually click on the 1 in order to see the new email in the right side list. Not efficient, not an improvement.

  15. Make the task bar float with the message section !!! I do not enjoy selecting messages to delete only to have to scroll back up task bar

    PLEASE!! I want my old "Basic" emasil back .

    This new version is wonky and time consuming trying to find everything and requiring many more keystrokes to accomplish tasks!

  16. Not being able to add photos to the body of the text

    Why have you got rid of adding photos into the text of the email? It is so annoying that you have to have everything as an attachment which is an extra step all round. Plus you can't choose multiple files in one go to upload to your email you have to do each separately. This new version of the old Mail is really not user friendly. you have added more steps for so many functions. Can you go back to the old version please. the new one is not good.

  18. After hitting the "Reply" button - how about putting the cursor in the BODY of the email ready to type.

    Right now, when you hit Reply, the cursor is not active anywhere. So if you hit Reply, and then start typing - nothing happens. This BREAKS the way Yahoo email used to work before the "update". Please put it back.

  19. Sortieren der Kontakte

    Warum bleibt die Sortierung nach Nachnamen nicht bestehen, sondern wechselt immer wieder auf Vornamen (z.B. wenn man eine Löschung gemacht hat). Das ist supermühsam.
