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.

  3. Please do not post personal information (such as email addresses, phone numbers or names) on the forum.

  2. non-use warnings

    Why is Yahoo sending out non-use (signin) warnings after just 6 weeks?

    This is crazy. For Gmail or ProtonMail it's years.

  3. you screwed up my mail and won't let me fix it so now help me out

    HI.
    Whatever stupidity you did with mail caused it to create a filter that takes every email with an a in the From field AND PUT IT IN MY TRASH. I did NOT MAKE THIS FILTER.
    Better than that, I CANNOT DELETE THE FILTER no matter how many time I try.
    Send me some advice or go into my account and delEte the filter, please. Otherwise, consider yourselves even more useless than I already do. I'm not bothering to be polite here because you have SCREWED UP MY LIFE WITH THIS AND I'M NOT WASTING TIME TELLING YOU THE TROUBLE…

  4. drag an image into a compose mail problem

    My yahoo mail is able to drag the image directly to a compose mail. But this ymail version is unable to drag the photo into a compose mail, and will open to a new screen on the computer screen. I am unable to drag a photo without using the attached files feature. The photo is a JPEG File (.jpeg) with less than 200 KB. The new yahoo mail is too complicated for my level of computer knowledge. Please switch this flyingsack@ymail.com to the same as my other yahoo mail. I am unable to find what the yahoo mail version is…

  8. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    Go back to the old Yahoo! Why can I not send an email exactly the way I type it. For example, I indent new paragraphs five spaces and I double space between sentences. The new and "improved" Yahoo does not allow it.

    I'm tempted to give up on Yahoo for my email.

  10. Why should I need another email for verification when I put the right password.

    What if, both email want that so-called-for-the-security-code at the same time? That's mean I can't even login to my mail anymore.

  12. Yahoo Calendar - need to choose Year option

    There is no way to get to my calendar several years earlier without painstakingly click the back arrow of the calendar only going back one month earlier. There should be a pull-down menu that allows one to pick a past year to view. As of now, it's almost impossible since Yahoo response time is slow so often during many times throughout the day.

  14. NEW YAHOO UPDATE IS HORRIBLE

    I don't like the new yahoo so I clicked on the old yahoo but it is not the same and really bad, you can't drag files to email anymore, can't click on the dot to keep emails un open, mail doesn't refresh on its own, i have to refresh it, I don't get mail notifications anymore, the list goes on and on! how can we return to the way it was? instead of improving everything is way worse

  16. Put back the settings for the old style of inbox

    You changed my settings and I can't get them back. I can't space out my messages and I can't select multiple messages anymore. Moving to subfolders has changed and is harder. There is no filtering anymore after whatever change you made. Do not like the new format and you ruined the old format.

  17. Let us have our original version back

    The unauthorized change in my inbox is something I am not happy about. The more I use it, the more upset I become with this setup. I can not reply the way I have been doing from day one! All fun writing options are GONE! I reply/write in different fonts, sizes and color....all gone. The starred email view is gone and I do not care for the scrolling delete/spam bar being gone. I WANT THE ORIGINAL BACK PLEASE!!!!

  20. Up & Down Arrows (on Rt side of email messages

    Dear To Whom It May Concern, 2/23/2026

    The arrows appear to be missing constantly. You reset them so I can use them, but after a while, they are missing again. Then were not there this prior weekend. Is there anything I can do on my part to help keep them from going AWOL? Maybe my email needs to be reset completely? Maybe the email programming is becoming unstable. I don't know. Maybe I can keep the same email name (bronco524@yahoo.com) and or have it moved to a NEW email program that is fresh and stable. Don't know.

    Sincerely
