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.

  1. MAKE A WAY TO SETUP A NEW LIST LIKE THE OLD, OLD YAHOO, NOT THE NEW AND IMPROVED (HA, HA!)

    YOUR "HELP" IS TOTALLY USELESS AND INCORRECT. I WANT TO SET UP A NEW LIST AND NOWHERE IS THERE ANYTHING FOR CREATING A NEW LIST. I CAN ADD A CONTACT TO AN EXISTING LIST, BUT I WANT TO SET UP A NEW LIST. WHERE AND HOW DO I DO THAT, GO TO GMAIL.COM.

  6. Reveal Keyboard Options

  7. Indicate number of emails in the spam folder.

    A nice feature would be to indicate if there are emails in the spam folder without having to open the spam folder. Such as the inbox indicates the number of unread emails. Xfinity had this feature and it's a nice convenience.

  8. Return to the BSIC I had

    This is not the basic Yahoo mail I am familiar with.
    Where are my older than "Todays" emails?
    Why can't I put emoji's on my emails?
    Why can't I highlight then delete excess wording on my forwarding emails??
    I really REALLY dislike this new version of BASIC

  10. Yahoo mail is terrible

    Why can't I remove the folders that show on the Left side if the page? That would leave more room for the message that should show without having to click on the email - like Xfinity and some other Mail servers. Also, the delete function is slow and cumbersome. How about just copying Xfinity email???

  11. Being able to delete a series of one sender at a time without having to type in the name

    I used to be able to select a button to the right of an entry from a sender, which would then list all email from that sender. THis is an awesome I'd like back, especially when I have so many email to go through. Also, I no longer can scroll through all email. It only lists a set amount. Please put it back to how it was!!!!

  12. allow delete of old email address

    I am in a catch22 situation. Microsoft uses the wrong email address as its key so I can't use Outlook or any 365 features. This is an old problem I can't fix as getting to Microsoft to explain it is futile.

  13. Make two part authentication OPTIONAL!!!!!!!

    Once again, I am stuck using two part authentication. My isp did an upgrade and my devices may now have new IP addresses. I don't know but this two part authentication started right after their upgrade. For those that want or need the extra security it should be an option. For those of us who do not need or want the bother it should be turned off.

    If I am going to log into my backup email every time that I want to use yahoo, I might as well just log in there and forget yahoo entirely. Oh, by the…

  14. Where are all of my contacts? I had hundreds and now down to only dozens.

    Many are businesses that I need to contact regularly. Also, the new Yahoo mail I am forced to use is slower and not as user friendly. How can I get back to Xfinity email?

  18. Please see the comments below

    I am grateful that I could return to Yahoo Basic email, as your latest email format was absolutely unworkable - it was horrible. However, I see that you revised the basic email as well, and as usual, the upgrades are a step backwards. They are not an improvement.
    1. There is no tab to print my email through my email. If I do it through my computer, I get all the side bar info and the email prints so tiny I can't read it.
    2.Also, I do not like that only one page is accessible for viewing at a time.…
