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.

I received an email from "CVS", but the sender's email address is offer@hotmail.com. And you wrote that it is "This message is from a trusted sender". Are you serious??? If I'd click on their link, it would take me some other website, not to the CVS!!!! And you think it is a trusted sender????

Remove the countdown timer for a new 2 step code to login into your email,its not needed,just have a button saying send new code!
When you have a timer it stresses you out to add the numbers quickly,its not needed,just add a button to send new code like other sites do.

Update is ****
Just for the record, your latest update stinks. I liked my dark forest background. I hate having to scroll up in order to delete. The escape key doesn't close a box. I haven't checked on tabs, but I bet they're screwed up, too. Please, I want my old email format back!

Having to click to advance pages of email is terrible. The new interface is not user friendly and has become more like ancient mail
Get rid of only 20 e-mails "per page" and have it scroll like it did before. Mail also nolonger auto-refreshes and i'm constantly refreshing the page manually to see new e-mails. Neither of these items are improvements - they make the yahoo mail experience worse.

It should be simple to add a photo (ex: for a business logo) on your signature by copy and pasting into signature box in settings.
Copy any photo from your computer and paste into signature box for all outgoing signatures under settings. This seems like a simple idea, not sure why in the world Yahoo wouldnt offer this. To personalize your business, homeschool, etc..... Really makes me want to use Gmail instead.

Dump the Apply button.
Get rid of the Apply button. They whole idea of good UI design has always to make it require the least number of clicks possible to accomplish a task. It feels like this interface was created by people who don't understand basic UI design concepts.
The old interface was simple and it worked. You broke it, for no good reason.37th ranked -
Attachments should be attachments, not thumbnail previews that can't be opened full size.
The idea below mine is the same, but it won't let me "vote" w/o signing into something i don't want. Attachments need to have an option to open the attachments. People don't send them so we can only access a preview/thumbnail of it.
Note, I am signed in. I don't know what hte problem is with this feedback option, but it needs fixing too.38th ranked -
I liked having "this week" and "last week" batching
It made it so much easier to find an email from a week or so ago.
If I wanted to use Gmail, I'd use Gmail. You are not Gmail. Gmail sucks. Your version is getting worse with these "enhancements." They are not enhancements or improvements! They're awful!

Increase number of messages on a page to 50
I get a lot of messages in a day. The inbox would be more manageable if I could see 50 messages on a page, especially since I like to sort them by sender so I could see what I want to read first.
