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.

  2. I don't like the changes.

    It seems that I can no longer insert images directly into the text of an e-mail. And the text editor breaks words in the middle at the end of lines.

  3. A Fundamental Flaw with Accessing Emails in Folders other Than the Inbox II

    Request #2: I have dozens of folders and most when accessed to search for specific older emails the system automatically defaults to the Inbox as indicated by the Inbox tab above the email messages. Meaning, I can not use the right arrows to go beyond page one of most folders without the system automatically pulling me back to the Inbox. So most folders with more than one page worth of messages can never be accessed. This is detrimental to my ability to access historical messages needed, some for my financial livelihood. PLEASE FIX ASAP!

  7. A Fundamental Flaw with Accessing Emails in Folders other Than the Inbox

    I have dozens of folders, very common. When I click on any given folder to search specific older emails the system automatically to the Inbox as indicated by the Inbox tab above the email messages. Meaning, I can not use the right arrows to go beyond page one of any folder without the system automatically pulling me back to the Inbox. So any other folder with more than one page worth of messages can never be accessed. This is detrimental to my ability to access historical messages needed. PLEASE FIX ASAP! A folder accessed should remain in that folder!

  10. new version causes font to be way too small when email is printed!

    When I select the "print" option of an email, the email gets printed with a font that is way to small. Did NOT have this problem with the old email!

  13. Please give the option to hide the bcc and cc options in draft emails.

    Basic Yahoo! Mail does not give you the option to hide the CC and/or BCC email address lines. Having them appear should be an option for users, at least in the Settings for Basic mail.

  14. make it so emails in the inbox are not deleted when you delete "all" in drafts" box

    Today I was sorting numerous unsent emails deciding which to keep and which to delete. I clicked all and then unclicked all I wanted to keep. Believing I was only deleting the drafts I clicked delete. I discovered it delete all of mail in the mail too. I had over 20 pages of emails I had specifically kept in my mail. They are now all gone. There are so many bugs in this new program it should never have been put out for use. If you are going through your mail and star one, any that you have checked for…

    Put something in between, even a space. I keep sending things to spam accidentally and then have to retrieve them.

  20. Bring back the 'Images' option that allowed you to view all images sent/received

    We used to be able to see all the images in one location by selecting an "images" option. I found that feature to be unique to Yahoo and that is one of the ONLY reasons I maintained my Yahoo email this long. I would like that back, cause to be honest, the usability has degraded and the fact that having a Yahoo account is seen as outdated as it is, but if the ability to view all the images is gone, I will just start using a more modern server like Gmail.
