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.

Not user-friendly
It is frustrating. I cannot highlight, underline, or bold my sentences when composing an email. I cannot drag and drop my attachments. The current feature is time-consuming.
Please, can I have the old features that I have been using for years? I have no complaints whatsoever.

Put it back the way it was! AND let us copy things onto the body of the email again!
You've made it totally cumbersome, not having all emails on "one page" instead of having to go to page 2?! Ridiculous! Also, who needs Notes and Contacts and Calendar on the same page. Twice the work!
And worst of all? We can't copy photos, documents, etc. ON THE OUTGOING EMAIL????
It's not sufficient in many cases to just have these things as Attachments! They are often seriatim with the content and context. REALLY BAD MOVE!167th ranked -

Restore Fonts, colors, emojis and freeze pane for delete and send
New Yahoo Mail's layout is visually difficult for me to follow, so I'm back to Old Yahoo Mail. However, The send-delete-spam headings at the top don't scroll along with the page. It would be so much easier to see what emails are being deleted if the delete button and emails were both showing. Maybe add a freeze pane option, like in Excel? Also, what happened to the font choices, font sizes, underlining, italics, and emoji options? I don't haven of this on my page. How about bring those backI'm beginning to think that maybe our relationship for so many years…

You have altered what is visible in the settings menu
For people that suffer from migraines, the settings menu was a godsend that allowed the opportunity to remain in dark mode as a white screen was too harsh a screen and can set off a migraine.

I am not receiveing many of my emails that I have received for years.....
I am not receiveing many of my emails that I have received for years such as JC Penney, Kroger, Harbor Freight, etc. I have not changed any of my options. Plz check my account. This all happened after Yahoo switched me from my old version of Yahoo. I still hate this New Yahoo Basic.

Not Mail, but NEW Calendar style
1) use light BG color (eeeeee, e.g.) for days backgrounds if no event, Month setting
2) use thin border around days in Month setting. The Day numbers are just floating in space
3) Event colors - nice to have selection, but the options are way too DARK! Can't read the text, only color that works is the off yellow. ALL BG event colors should be a LIGHT PASTEL
4) Defaults to day or week or something, I have to change to Month every day. Need a way to set that as Default167th ranked -
Where is my windows mail window
What happened to the ability to click on an email and have it open in a separate pane. Can find anyway (at least not intuitively) to change my windows format. Anyone else have this issue?

MAKE A WAY TO SETUP A NEW LIST LIKE THE OLD, OLD YAHOO, NOT THE NEW AND IMPROVED (HA, HA!)
YOUR "HELP" IS TOTALLY USELESS AND INCORRECT. I WANT TO SET UP A NEW LIST AND NOWHERE IS THERE ANYTHING FOR CREATING A NEW LIST. I CAN ADD A CONTACT TO AN EXISTING LIST, BUT I WANT TO SET UP A NEW LIST. WHERE AND HOW DO I DO THAT, GO TO GMAIL.COM.

While paying for storage, system needs us to choose state. But I am living in Turkey. So when paying for more storage, change the state information with country section firstly.. I can not pay by credit card.. Because I can not choose the country. Please immediately change that state section to country...

Indicate number of emails in the spam folder.
A nice feature would be to indicate if there are emails in the spam folder without having to open the spam folder. Such as the inbox indicates the number of unread emails. Xfinity had this feature and it's a nice convenience.

Return to the BSIC I had
This is not the basic Yahoo mail I am familiar with.
Where are my older than "Todays" emails?
Why can't I put emoji's on my emails?
Why can't I highlight then delete excess wording on my forwarding emails??

Yahoo mail is terrible
Why can't I remove the folders that show on the Left side if the page? That would leave more room for the message that should show without having to click on the email - like Xfinity and some other Mail servers. Also, the delete function is slow and cumbersome. How about just copying Xfinity email???

Being able to delete a series of one sender at a time without having to type in the name
I used to be able to select a button to the right of an entry from a sender, which would then list all email from that sender. THis is an awesome I'd like back, especially when I have so many email to go through. Also, I no longer can scroll through all email. It only lists a set amount. Please put it back to how it was!!!!
