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. allow delete of old email address

    I am in a catch22 situation. Microsoft uses the wrong email address as its key so I can't use Outlook or any 365 features. This is an old problem I can't fix as getting to Microsoft to explain it is futile.

  2. Make two part authentication OPTIONAL!!!!!!!

    Once again, I am stuck using two part authentication. My isp did an upgrade and my devices may now have new IP addresses. I don't know but this two part authentication started right after their upgrade. For those that want or need the extra security it should be an option. For those of us who do not need or want the bother it should be turned off.

  3. Where are all of my contacts? I had hundreds and now down to only dozens.

    Many are businesses that I need to contact regularly. Also, the new Yahoo mail I am forced to use is slower and not as user friendly. How can I get back to Xfinity email?

  7. Please see the comments below

    I am grateful that I could return to Yahoo Basic email, as your latest email format was absolutely unworkable - it was horrible. However, I see that you revised the basic email as well, and as usual, the upgrades are a step backwards. They are not an improvement.
    1. There is no tab to print my email through my email. If I do it through my computer, I get all the side bar info and the email prints so tiny I can't read it.
    2.Also, I do not like that only one page is accessible for viewing at a time.…

  14. Rubbish News

    yahoo news has to be one of the most disgraceful news sites I have ever come across. Total disrespected for the President of the USA and the news stories are nothing but hateful rubbish. I really hate having to be exposed to it whenever I sign out of my email Account. Its revolting and I'm appalled that you have people like that attempting to be journalists. Why are you so Extreme, left wing, woke? no one is interested in your garbage news reporting.

  20. No llegan los emails

    Estoy esperando que llegue a mi buzón de correos de Yahoo un mail de no-reply-iam@coop.consum.es que sé a ciencia cierta que se ha enviado, porque lo he enviado yo y yo me llega el mail al buzón de Yahoo. Esto sé que está pasando a muchísima más personas.

    Creo que voy a tener que recomendar que no se utilice el correo de yahoo.
