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.

  1. Roll back some of the excessive multi-factor ****

    I have a two part issue.
    First, I did not authorize the new multi-factor authentication protocol that has recently shown up. I keep my accounts separate for a reason, so forcing me to access another one to get into this one constitutes a security violation and potentially opens the door to privacy issues.
    Second, in looking at the "settings" option for a way to fix this problem, I find that there are virtually no settings available to review. You should be as ashamed of yourselves as I am of you.

  4. Stop the massive amounts of spam into spam folder and on yahoo

    Stop allowing the massive amounts of spam mail daily. It does go into the spam folder BUT have to go through multiple pages several times a day to see if something I was expecting went there before I delete all. This is ridiculous. I prefer Yahoo mail over Gmail but may go back to using Gmail as they do NOT allow this massive amounts of spam multiple times daily!!

  8. FIX THE NEW UPDATE FOR MACS

    I can't get the new update for yahoo mail to work on my Mac computer. I have tried on both they are both updated to their latest software that's available to them which is Catalina 10.15.7

    I feel like there needs to be an option to fix this otherwise I will be forced to move to a different email platform.

    I tried downloading google chrome and that won't work either on this version of the Mac.

  9. Need an option to choose how many emails per page

    Unfortunately, I had to switch back to the basic version, which has about 25 emails per page, and when I click the check box to "select all", it affects only the 25 emails on the page, and no more. It's much easier to process and clean up 25 emails at a time. On the new Yahoo Mail, when I click the check box to "select all", it selects hundreds of emails. I hope it has an option to allow users to choose how many emails they want to see on each page.

  11. I don't like the changes.

    It seems that I can no longer insert images directly into the text of an e-mail. And the text editor breaks words in the middle at the end of lines.

  12. A Fundamental Flaw with Accessing Emails in Folders other Than the Inbox II

    Request #2: I have dozens of folders and most when accessed to search for specific older emails the system automatically defaults to the Inbox as indicated by the Inbox tab above the email messages. Meaning, I can not use the right arrows to go beyond page one of most folders without the system automatically pulling me back to the Inbox. So most folders with more than one page worth of messages can never be accessed. This is detrimental to my ability to access historical messages needed, some for my financial livelihood. PLEASE FIX ASAP!

  19. Please give the option to hide the bcc and cc options in draft emails.

    Basic Yahoo! Mail does not give you the option to hide the CC and/or BCC email address lines. Having them appear should be an option for users, at least in the Settings for Basic mail.

  20. make it so emails in the inbox are not deleted when you delete "all" in drafts" box

    Today I was sorting numerous unsent emails deciding which to keep and which to delete. I clicked all and then unclicked all I wanted to keep. Believing I was only deleting the drafts I clicked delete. I discovered it delete all of mail in the mail too. I had over 20 pages of emails I had specifically kept in my mail. They are now all gone. There are so many bugs in this new program it should never have been put out for use. If you are going through your mail and star one, any that you have checked for…
