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. 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!

  5. Go Back

    This new basic is awful...you switched me to the new email WITHOUT ME MAKING THE CHANGE! It is really bad - horrible use of screen space. So...I went back to "basic" which is a far cry from the old "basic" I now have no link insert, no emojis, no formatting and no settings icon. Just the worst...if it doesn't revert soon I'll go to gmail despite the hassle to change

  7. so not happy. Please stop updates without first explaining what these updates involve, I now can no longer see alot of emails that I need.

    What the heck? Stop deleting features and adding features. Need to allow users to pick from list of features that we want and the ones we don't want. this basic version still won't let me view all of my emails and they aren't in the spam folder. I know I did not authorize Yahoo to just delete the emails that you somehow picked. I want my **** emails to show up in my inbox again

  9. It doesn't update the emails when they come in, I have to keep refreshing the page.

    It doesn't update the emails as they come in, I have to keep refreshing the page to see them. It doesn't tell me the exact number of emails in my account. If I click on the box in front of the email to delete it, then open up another email before I click on delete for the previous email, the box I checked is no longer checked and I have to start all over again. That didn't happen before.

  11. Search Mail by Date

    Search Mail by date/ month/ year will be a great help as some people may have important / private mails where there are no subjects or have forgotten the sender name/ mail

  13. Spam increase

    Why is it that all of a sudden over the past week I have been getting A LOT more spam. Did yahoo do something to it's filters to mess this up. Yes, I would get one spam email here and there but for the past week I have been getting 30-40 per day. Please look into what YOU did with YOUR filters and find out what you messed up.

  17. so not happy. Please stop updates without first explaining what these updates involve, I now can no longer see alot of emails that I need.

    I can no longer view a lot of emails. Whatever was done there are a lot of emails that I can no longer view at all and have tried going back to basic mail, but still can't see those emails. Getting to the point where I would rather use my goggle email instead. Every time yahoo pushes out an update there are things that I do not like. Need to allow us to pick which features in updates that we want and which ones we don't want

  19. Yahoo will not let me sign in.

    Yahoo will not let me sign in. I keep getting this message on all my E-mail accounts.
    "We've noticed some unusual account activity.
    For your safety, choose a method below to verify that it's really you signing in to this account."
    This is just wrong !
    Please let people sign into their accounts !!!
    My one account says to get my code at another account, and the other account says to get my code at the first account.
    I can not do either as I'm locked out of both !

  20. Security code problem

    My 2 Yahoo accounts. reference each other. At a new location. when they send the Code, it goes to Acct. #2, which then asks for its own code. Endless do-loop. Can't log into either. They need another method like showing a partial Tel. # and filling in the complete number. (I don't have a cell phone)
