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. You locked my email from my phone because I don't want your app.

    I would pay for my email service from you but I will not put an unnecessary app on my phone. I have enough interested parties data mining me already to the maximum extent I can or will tolerate.

  4. Open attachments

    I would prefer to open attachments sent to me without saving them first, let me open them first then allow me to decide if I want to download and save them or not.

  5. Choosing my font and style for ever . i need to chose my font for ever that means I did not need to change for every new composing.

    I do not like Yahoo any more. It is low quality compared to Outlook etc. Why you are groping all email in a dumb way. Why can not you group emails like old style but have the facility to attach by dragging... why there are few good things in the old Yahoo and few good things in new version. Why can you put all good things in the new version.

  8. 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.

  11. User verification

    Since a few weeks I have to pass the robot test every time I log in to Yahoo. And since this morning Yahoo wants me to enter a 4-digit code, which is send to another Email-account. Are you paranoid? Couldn't you use some Data to verify, that this is the same computer that I used last time, i.e. IP- or mac-address? I'm using Yahoo now for decades.
