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.

  3. Please do not post personal information (such as email addresses, phone numbers or names) on the forum.

  3. Please help me. My email address domain has changed, and I can't receive any emails

    I used to use aadallahcoba-aadallah2@yahoo.co.id as my disposable email address. My primary email is aadallah@yahoo.co.id, but now the disposable email address has changed to yahoo.com (aadallahcoba-aadallah2@yahoo.com), so I can't receive any emails sent there. Please help me to change it back to yahoo.co.id like my primary email address

  4. Make it possible to avoid vulgar and inappropriate ads.

    Please help me get rid of pornographic, horrible ads all directed at men. I am not a man. And I cannot find anywhere to tell Yahoo this. The spam is revolting and scary but I still have to check it because the odd legitimate email goes there. Then I am inundated with ads picturing nubile young women or even older women looking for men.
    I have looked under "About our advertisers", and My Account and found nothing helpful. I have searched for women's products on Yahoo, but Yahoo still doesn't get it. Clicking on the little triangle of an ad…

  6. Awful new look

    Stop forcing the new email account.
    It is awful to look at and work with.
    Why reinvent the wheel to find you really only need the original shape that works without annoying everyone.

  11. Font Size

    Both in old and new yahoo mail the incoming mail (inbox) font size is extremely small. This should not be an option for upgraded mail. Another issue is no print option directly from the inbox mail.

  16. Pre-Filter for filthy and repetitive e-mails as the filters do not work consistently

    Some simple method is needed to prevent the continued receipt of filthy e-mail. I simply cannot enter several sites that send F#@$ and other such filth and using the filters does not work. These clowns have learned how to bypass them as have those who send me Destiny credit card invitations nearly every day even tho Destiny is on the reject list.

  18. stop asking for a fingerprint when i am on a PC

    stop asking for a fingerprint when i am on a PC. i know it is very easy for the program to know if i am on a phone or a PC. Dont ask over and over and over and over if i want to use fingerprint to logon. I would think asking once a month would suffice, instead of every **** time i logon to my email

  19. Bring back the Standard version of yahoo email

    I don't know who the idiot was that decided to get rid of the Standard version, but they should be fired. The old email, how do you add a signature image to the signature footer??? Oh, you can't!!! How can I click on a sender's emails and find all the messages from that sender?? Oh, you can't!!! How can I customize the Theme of the look of my email besides, light and dark? Oh, you can't!!! The "New yahoo email", How can I see all my mailboxes at a glance?? Oh, I can't because they aren't in a nice easy…
