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.

  2. "Starred" folder is now missing

    There was always a "starred" option in the menu that auto-populates, but it's now missing. I switched bask to Basic due to frustration with missing functions in the other option. Please help. Thank you!

  5. Bring back the Classic classic email!!!

    I just got into my email this morning and classic email has now changed! I can only see about 20 emails at a time. What the **** is that? I tried to have customer service help but they said they couldn't. I will not use the new email as it sucks. Well, now this new version of classic sucks, too! We have been Yahoo customers for over 25 years. If you do not switch back to the way classic was last week, we will be moving on. I will not use it like this. I am paying for a service…

  7. instantly filter to see all messages from a sender

    We used to be able to instantly filter the inbox to show all emails from a sender. Please bring that back. I used it all the time. It's so much more convenient than having to use the search box.

  8. Allow me to have 2 accounts signed into during the same session

    Not sure what changed, but I used to be able to have two Yahoo mail accounts (which I use for different type of activities) active at the same time. This is no longer the case on my desktop or laptop (nothing changed on my phone) and it is highly annoying. Please fix it.

  12. Can't change or delete filter

    When I change or delete a mail filter, then hit 'save', the screen changes, as if it is updating, but, there is no change in the result. Clearing the browser cache and restarting the browser doesn't help. HELP!!!

  13. Stop driving me crazy with robot checks and invalid password warnings!

    I've never had this kind of trouble with yahoo, and today it's been a HUGE frustration. I KNOW my password, and you say it's incorrect. Do you like passwords? Do you enjoy being driven to distraction with robot proof pictures?? Neither do i. PLEASE!! STOP!

  18. Frustrated and upset

    You screwed my email up. My signature card looks nothing like it supposed to and I try and put it back as it was for 20 years with different fonts and colors and I can't. WHY am I wasting time doing this when I have been using Yahoo for at least 20 years without all the headache it use to have. Purple/Green/Black and Blue and cool fonts. now it looks like ****
