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.

  2. basic mail sucks

    I can't do anything with basic mail but compose a message, which you can't even attach an image to. in order to get the most out of your mail, you have to buy yahoo plus which is ********. I can't even see the whole part of my message unless I click on it. I prefer the old basic mail!!!

  6. Chrome upgrade 8/2022 made Yahoo Basic & latest email load VERY slowly. On Chrome this page wouldn't let me login. Firefox does.

    Maybe contact Chrome? Problem started with Chrome August upgrade. On Firefox, everything works fine. Yahoo made Basic much worse than before to drive us to the upgrade. Is Chrome doing the same to drive us to Gmail?

  12. Life is hard enough! Stop locking homeless and poor people out of their email!

    Yahoo mail's required security measures very often lock people with very limited resources out of their email accounts - accounts they may desperately need to communicate with government agencies and other safety net organizations. Allow individuals to opt out of these measures, like requiring a cell phone or another email address. Stumbling blocks like these can very well stand in the way of people and their children getting food and shelter.

  13. Enhance interface

    Yahoo needs to step up and improve like gmail. We cannot control spam emails that automatically going into SPAM folder.
    Come up with settings where user can control SPAM. Yahoo are keep recognizing legit emails as SPAM which is ridiculous.
    Come up with simple theme like yahoo, easy and more control for users.

  14. Scam spam received email addresses are being added auto suggestions for compose email

    When I am on the 'compose email' page, when I click in the 'send to' box the first ten auto suggestions for recipients for the email are obvious scam spam addresses.
    Either have no drop down auto suggestions for sending emails to, or clear the scum out of the list.
    Just cos some thief sent me an email, they are now top of my contacts 'send to' list. The emails did go to spam, so why add to contacts?
    Like 'suggesting' get mugged.
