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. Stop blocking email sign in from different ip location all the time

    On vacations or job travels and dynamic IP's from our ISP, we use different IP's all the time to access our email.

    So, if the unusual activity doesn't compromise our recovery options or password change or spamming my contacts, just after logging in, it should not interfere with our access to the email account. Being the only reason acceptable where it would be needed the recovery email to perform the actions above, when accessing it from a different IP location.

    Since 1995, I haven't trusted Microsoft's Outlook or similar apps, for the reason that they are all-time-logged and for security…

  4. Have unlimited use to block spam messages

    The current ability to only block 1000 spam messages is not enough. I receive multiple spam messages daily. I receive some really disgusting spam every day. I have maxed out the 1000 limit. I am extremely frustrated with the type and amount of X-rated messages. The only way that somewhat limits them is to block these messages, which I can no longer do with the limited usage. Please help!

  6. Pressing Enter while the cursor is in the "Subject" field should not automatically send a message

    Pressing Enter while the cursor is in the "Subject" field ends a message without prompting. Why in the world would anyone want this!? It is far too easy to accidentally send a message this way. Is this a bug?

    Pressing Enter while the cursor is in the "To" field does nothing. The Enter key should behave similarly in the "Subject" field.

  7. Delete spam without opening

    Yahoo Mail Basic needs to be more supportive of its customers, whether they are paying or not.

    I’m receiving an unbelievable amount of spam, and I can’t block these harassing emails because the only option Yahoo gives me is to create filters—which requires opening the emails first.

    Please make this easier for users. I actually had to delete the account from my iPhone because the daily flood of spam became overwhelming.

    thank you

  11. Let users know, through back up email, When their accounts are deactivated.

    I recently found out that my email pillar81@yahoo.com has been deactivated. I am currently only able to access my email on one computer. I am able to delete emails, but not able to receive them. There have been no new emails since March 4th 2026. I have tried to sign in through the yahoo mail app and other PCs and I receive a message that says that my email is not recognized. a notification would be nice, so I wouldn't lose access to and be able migrate all the emails that had accumulated in the 2 decades that I had…

  15. Bring back the old Attachment method!

    PLEASE go back to the old way of attaching things.
    I am a photographer and send images A LOT - but your new way of attaching them is SO CLUNKY. The old way I could attach 3, 4, 5 or 6, or even more in one go. Why change something that worked so well?

  17. I am not a BASIC user, I'm a paying Yahoo+ user

    I tried your new version and didn't like it because it wastes so much of my precious screen space. Specifically, I don't want or need the right panel where it shows "Starred" messages. So I went back to the old version. But the old version no longer exists for Yahoo+ users. It just has the Yahoo Mail BASIC version, so I no longer have a reading pane (and probably other features). So you're FORCING me to use the new version. That does not sit well with me at all. If you say I can go back to the old version…

  19. You can give me back my preview pane!!!

    I tried your NEW mail again. It still bites. So I went back to the old. And now my preview pane is gone, and I cannot get it back. If this is your way of forcing everyone to the new version, I got to say, it really sucks. I've been a loyal customer for decades, and now I'm going to have to move to Google just because you decided to change things for the worse. I'm really really ****** about this! Can you tell?

  20. You broke my mail!

    I tried your new mail, again. And hated it. But when I went back, now I can only see the mail list. Before I had the messages list on the left, and the message on the right. But I don't see any way to get back to that. THANKS BUNCHES!
