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.

  4. Get rid of the vulgar ads and pornographic spam

    Allow us to specify our sex in our profile ...or do something else about the distasteful advertisements. Yahoo thinks I am male and bombards me with vulgar spam and adverts for women

  5. Make it easier to delete multiple emails

    I can select all mails on the one page which is good, but often I only want a consecutive list of about 10 or 20. In Outlook Mail, ticking one email, pressing Shift and moving the cursor down ticks all the emails below the selected one as far as the user wants. Please add this feature so we don't have to select one email at a time. We also want this feature for moving Inbox emails from one sender to the folder reserved for that sender.
    I use Basic Yahoo on Windows because I have a lot of mail and…

  6. Allow posting text/pics into email LIKE WE COULD PREVIOUSLY

    Why did you stop the capability to post test and pics in an email as well as deleting an entire email when you want to forward an email while deleting the original senders addie. WTF people!

  7. Don't put ads in my inbox that attempt to fool me that they are taking over my computer and I have to call their number to stop the takeover

    Today I got an ad at the top of my email inbox that pretends to lock my computer and have he call a number to fix it. I clicked on it, thinking to flag it as spam, but since it's an ad, that didn't work. The email sender was Camilo Carter, and the subject was something about missing benefits. I can't remember exactly, and that spam ad has been replaced. I don't think yahoo should place this type of ad. Please try not to do this anymore. Otherwise, Yahoo basic mail works just fine. Thank you

  8. Can't edit forwarded msgs (delete original sender), can't cut and paste pics, etc.

    How about going back to the way Yahoo Mail was before you f###ked it all up!

  12. Don't know what's going on...

    Can't get a ******* thing to work, emails, confirmation codes, don't know where they're going but they ain't coming to me. Yahoo, Google, it don't matter, The more I try to fix, the worse it all gets. And I have no clue how to make my phone marry the desktop....

  13. Go back to classic format

    Go back to the columns used in the classic old version. It is too messy to have 4 columns of information on the screen at the same time in the browser.
    1. "Mailboxes"
    2. "Message summaries" OR an "individual selected email"

    3. (I can do without the advertising column)

    NOT FOUR COLUMNS

  15. Revert back to the way it worked 2 weeks ago?

    My Yahoo mail page changed for the worse a few weeks ago. I did the revert to original--but what I have now isn't what I had-- it is much more of a pain to use now.

    First-- The shift key longer lets me select a range of emails to move or delete.
    Second--The scroll is no longer next to the inbox listings, but only on the outside next to the ads
    Third--The Archive folder is no longer on the bar across the top of the mail-- meaning I have to go through three more clicks to move things to archive

  16. html mode in compose box

    thanks for your service; user of many years (and would support but don't need plus), i like many of the ideas presented in new email (web based), but continue with Basic although i would like to see:
    a) ability to switch between html and text format in the compose window, or even the ability to edit the raw html which would confuse people i am sure.
    b) in text mode i would like to see reply lines presented with > before each line so as to break up responses instead of responding to entire block only ? (thunderbird like behavior)…

  18. don't change mail with out asking Put the original mail back remove giant space wasting headers and empty space at the bottom

    Don't change peoples mail without asking Get rid of space wasting headers and empty space at the bottom too many steps for an easy job Did AI create this because it simply takes too much time no one has It's better to access all mail instead of hitting little arrows everywhere at the bottom of the page Exhausting! Replace our mail please Doesn't look like the public likes it either Why ***** something up that works ?I have three accounts to monitor and frankly I don't have time now Not streamlined Clunky and time consuming Bring back our mail
