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.

  1. DONT BE AN IDIOT!

    When i need to sign in to my email through a new OS, you ask for verification. But you make the email option inactive for click selection. What's your ********* point there?? I can't get a code through my alt emails? More Options get me nothing useful either. How idiotic can you make your system to be? And i need to sign in every page of yours while signed in till you can block my email???

  4. Add a Sort condition, and make Moving to a folder easier

    Add Sort by Subject. Some newsletter come frequently but only occasionally on a featured subject. It's not a vital feature but might have a few uses.
    I use Mail Basic for newsletter because it uses less memory & this is an old computer.
    One feature with Outlook I'd like to see here is with Move to a Folder . If the last time I moved an email to, say, the MaloneFolder, the next time a select Move to a folder, the "MaloneFolder" will appear at the top of the list, so I don't have to scroll down. In Outlook, I…

  5. Give the basic account at the very least the abilty to set colour to black

    The new yahoo mail is a nightmare to use, I could not sign into any of my accounts depsite the passwords being correct and the recovery details being correct, it kept on asking me to either call a toll free number to make a new account in which I would loose access to all my old account posts.

  11. Stop Junk Mail

    I have a gmail account and get NO junk mail. For every time I check my Yahoo account, it is jam packed with junk mail. For every email that is considered junk mail by you, it should be automatically deleted. You have competition and should be taking measures to ensure you're just as good or better than them.

  14. many headers and features are missing from classic look (old look

    for eg. MOVE when I used to click on I could type the name of the folder and it will auto-generate based on the letter/chars input which is now not possible

    Also headers in old-classic yahoo mail like News Finance Mail .. etc are missing in both old and new
    If I want to open new tab of mail then I can just click on 'Mail' in old mail while I am looking at mails in one tab and another tab will open, now I dont see that header so cannot open in one click

    happy to give more feedback…

  15. fix how to view storage/usage

    I can't find my mail storage. I've tried all the Help topics on yahoo, the internet in general, reddit and youtube. I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO VIEW HOW MUCH SPACE I AM USING. It's just not there. Not in the lower left hand corner, there's no gear icon, "Settings" does not give me a "more settings" option.

  16. Maybe block certain spam mail...

    like "******** wet **..." you know, phrases like that, maybe the word "*." And similar words that are totally sex related. It wasn't that big of a problem in the past, but now it's worse than prevalent.

  19. Please make it easy to report hacked e-mail accounts and delete resultant fake messages..

    I don't about coding but
    1. when hacked I had great trouble getting back in so I could change my password.
    2. I couldn't see an obvious way to send out a warning message to all my contacts to warn them to ignore begging messages.
    Please see how 1 & 2 above can be sorted thanks.
