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.

Searching Contacts
The "Search" function in Contacts should search the "Nickname" field as well. Currently this field does not appear to be included in the Search function.

Restore functionality to sort by Sender within a folder.
I noticed today that I can no longer sort email messages within a folder by Sender. This is an important way to find and manage emails, since the Search function isn't working very well.

Having to click to advance pages of email is terrible. The new interface is not user friendly and has become more like ancient mail
Get rid of only 20 e-mails "per page" and have it scroll like it did before. Mail also nolonger auto-refreshes and i'm constantly refreshing the page manually to see new e-mails. Neither of these items are improvements - they make the yahoo mail experience worse.

Please remove the tabs across the top of my inbox
You added tabs across the top of the inbox. This is unnecessary since they are not commonly used. They can be summed in in an options drop down.

Have inbox utilize all available space in window
Have inbox use all available space, not just a third (center "column") of the window, leaving the right side completely blank and useless. This makes reading the inbox and email content easier.

Harder to switch between accounts.
Previously, you could much easier switch between accounts. You could go to the upper right corner and there would be a dropdown option. It no longer exists. You must now go to the main Yahoo site and switch. Very annoying.

Please add email lables like Gmail, i.e. you can lable an email and still keep it in the Inbox folder.

Can't edit forwarded messages
You've got to be kidding me! So now when I forward a message I have the choice of sending the entire thing or deleting the entire original message. No way to delete part of it, not even the part showing the person's name and email, which is a privacy issue. Again, do you even TEST this stuff before forcing us to use it?

Readd the "return to folder" button
In the old basic mail a week ago, when you clicked on an email, there would be a button in the top left that said "Return to <FOLDER>" with whatever folder you had been in. Clicking that would take you back to viewing the folder in the state it had been when you left, including if any emails were checked off or not.
Now, that button is missing. So there's no easy way to get back to viewing what you were looking at before you clicked an email.
Please restore the "Return to <FOLDER>" button.

Why do I have to scroll way down to reply to and then to send an email? That option would be better placed at the top or directly under.
Please move the reply and send buttons closer to the body of the email.

Broken features in new interface
- Clicking the blue "unread" marker no longer marks message as read
- Shift+K no longer marks selected messages as read
- Message load times have skyrocketed (4x on average)
Please stop trying to be Google. If I wanted Google I'd go to Google.
