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.

Here are some guidelines for using this forum:

  1. Please search and vote before posting! If your idea (or an idea very similar to yours) has already been posted, please vote for it. Duplicated ideas may be moved.
  2. This forum is for feedback and ideas only. Unfortunately, we cannot provide support here. For support, please visit our help site.
  3. Please do not post personal information (such as email addresses, phone numbers or names) on the forum.

The Yahoo product feedback forum requires a valid Yahoo ID and password. If you do not have a Yahoo ID or the password to your Yahoo ID, please sign-up for a new account.

If you have a valid Yahoo ID and password, follow these steps if you would like to remove your posts, comments, votes, and/or profile from the Yahoo product feedback forum.

  1. Choosing my font and style for ever . i need to chose my font for ever that means I did not need to change for every new composing.

    I do not like Yahoo any more. It is low quality compared to Outlook etc. Why you are groping all email in a dumb way. Why can not you group emails like old style but have the facility to attach by dragging... why there are few good things in the old Yahoo and few good things in new version. Why can you put all good things in the new version.

  2. I can't seem to be logged out when i do and you're asking me to pay for support?

    What's with your system?? It's going rots beginning today for me. When i logout, i'm still logged in. I had to clear my cookies manually to shut you off. When i try to login into another account, it says we can't log you in for now temporarily. Have to wait until later. When i find for support, you say we have to pay for it. I didn't pay for the support i had before and i certainly didn't agree with any new terms and conditions on seeking support or sending feedbacks. You've become idiots! Stop being Googlish. They're massive idiots…

  4. so not happy. Please stop updates without first explaining what these updates involve, I now can no longer see alot of emails that I need.

    What the heck? Stop deleting features and adding features. Need to allow users to pick from list of features that we want and the ones we don't want. this basic version still won't let me view all of my emails and they aren't in the spam folder. I know I did not authorize Yahoo to just delete the emails that you somehow picked. I want my **** emails to show up in my inbox again

  5. so not happy. Please stop updates without first explaining what these updates involve, I now can no longer see alot of emails that I need.

    I can no longer view a lot of emails. Whatever was done there are a lot of emails that I can no longer view at all and have tried going back to basic mail, but still can't see those emails. Getting to the point where I would rather use my goggle email instead. Every time yahoo pushes out an update there are things that I do not like. Need to allow us to pick which features in updates that we want and which ones we don't want

  6. Not able to move a message to sent folder from trash

    Not able to move a message to sent folder from trash. Lets say you accidentally delete a sent message and want to undo that, only able to move it to inbox, which isn't quite the same. The message list then no longer shows the recipient, it shows "me".

  7. permit the generation of passwords for desktop apps

    permit the generation of passwords for desktop apps. You disabled this without warning and I can't afford the expense of upgrading hardware and software. Working with mail and calendars on your web site is **** expensive at 1c+ per mb in rural Australia. It is also extremely painful with response times measured in MINUTES, not seconds.

  17. where to create or modify alias

    I have had an alias on YAHOO mail for many years now I am very disappointed that it is no longer possible to insert or modify a new ALIAS. Other very limiting options are added. A real shame because I'm forced to create another new email but no longer on Yahoo.
