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. Cannot control Enhanced Contacts

    Hello,

    I am using Yahoo Mail Basic (and have no desire to switch to a newer version), and I have noticed that the people I correspond with are automatically being added to my contacts without any action on my side. According to the Help pages, I should be able to disable this feature by disabling Enhanced Contacts, but there is no control setting for Enhanced Contacts on the Contacts page that I am able to access.

    When I click on Settings > Contacts, I just see a list of people that I have added manually to the list. So, I…

  3. It is horrible to have to sign in in another account to get a code to sign in in yahoo mail

    It is horrible to have to sign in in another account to get a code to sign in in yahoo mail! It is annoying and completely useless if a password is give. This is done in order to steal more information from the users to bombard later with ads. IT IS NOT A SECURITY FEATURE AND DOES NOT PROVIDE MORE SECURITY THAN A PASSWORD!

  8. EITHER different COLORS for the "Favorite Stars" or perhaps NUMBERS

    Dear To Whom It May Concern,

    I want to ORGANIZE my folders, emails, etc, from say most wanted, needed to keep to those I would like to keep but not as much as those most wanted to keep...also, this ADDING the COLOR SELECTION to the stars would and could help others organize their email by category and so on. ---Just a thought

  9. The directions for viewing Base Storage used do not work. In Settings Nor in any other check

    I happen to like your base setting desktop e-mail better than the full featured version, except that the directions for finding my storage used is wrong and I have to use my Android App to do so. This should be a basic function if this account is to remain free. What gives?

  11. Annoying safety measure

    You ask me the safety code from the mail 2 when I try to sign in for mail 1, but to access that code you ask me the safety code from the mail 1 (exactly the mail which I try to access).

  13. Auto logout

    When I close the browser I should automatically logout. There should also be an option to have auto logout if the page is not used in a matter of time. If the page sits in the background for over and hour it should auto logout or have the option to choose that.

  16. WTF You have added all the people in the world to my contacts list

    I need that cleared out and start over. I can't imagine why you would flood my contacts list with so many people I don't even know. Probably a result of an initial setting that captured every junk email or spam that hit my inbox.

  17. Put the checkboxes by each contact all the time

    I have tried everything Googled to show the checkboxes to delete several contacts at once and none of them work. I don't see the things they say I'll see! Why not just automatically include that?

    En la "vieja" version del yahoo Mail que fue actualizada en su formato, no está la posibilidad de vista previa del correo . Tampoco se puede disminuir la separacion entre los correos en el Buzon y en las restantes carpetas.

  20. Add a 2nd additional conformation "pop up" when doing bulk email deletion.

    Situation (Human Factors Issue) - You are busy multitasking and you are doing a quick check of your email.

    "The Problem/Feature" - You want to delete a single email in your inbox, and you go and click the box next to it and you "miss the box" (Unknown to you - you have just selected "ALL Emails" in your inbox). Next, you click the delete key and you get the pop-up about confirming "BULK". You quickly select "OK" just thinking you are deleting your selected email (the "1" email you though you selected.) However, you are NOW deleting your "WHOLE…
