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.

If you have a valid Yahoo ID and password, follow these steps if you would like to remove your posts, comments, votes, and/or profile from the Yahoo product feedback forum.

  1. Broken features in new interface

    • Clicking the blue "unread" marker no longer marks message as read
    • Shift+K no longer marks selected messages as read

  3. Can't edit emails saved in the drafts folder without it creating new lines for new words added

    Can't edit emails saved in the drafts folder without it creating new lines for new words added. I have to completely retype the email from the point where i want to edit it. How is this to be fixed? I cannot find the DIAGNOSTICS tab as Gary explains in https://forum.emclient.com/t/cant-edit-a-draft-email-for-yahoo/83563/2

  4. Give me a setting which keeps embedded email addresses from being sent along when I forward

    When I forward an email I have received, I do not want to expose the email of anyone that sent it to me. If I choose 'edit', I can edit out the senders email, but when I do, all formatting, pictures etc are deleted in the process. This is not giving me the option I need.

  6. 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)

  9. I was wondering if there was a way to add read verification.

    I was wondering if there was a way to add read verification. Therefore, you would know if some indeed received your email and open it to read to possibly read it. And some kind of indicator on your sent email indicates that it was open to be read, like green check mark in subject bar.

  10. The top action line HAS to freeze when scrolling! Who would ever want to scroll up and down to do something.

    The top action line HAS to freeze when scrolling! Who would ever want to scroll up and down to do something like deleting or archiving. Get it together Yahoo. There aren't many of us still using you.

  12. Please remove the tabs across the top of my inbox

    You added tabs across the top of the inbox. This is unnecessary since they are not commonly used. They can be summed in in an options drop down.

  13. Have inbox utilize all available space in window

    Have inbox use all available space, not just a third (center "column") of the window, leaving the right side completely blank and useless. This makes reading the inbox and email content easier.

  15. deve simplificar com novos critérios segurança, pois criam dificuldades para o dono do e-mail 23 minutos para verificar e trocar uma senha?

    1- Deve ser criado facilidades para o dono da senha alterar a senha 23 minutos é muito
    2- Quanto mais dados e informações o dono do e-mail fornece mais problemas com o vazamento de dados e mais tempo.
    3- Todo o critério de segurança definido, contudo deve pensar que a população envelhece no Brasil somos 30% e ficar com critérios ou mesmo tendo que confiar em sistemas que guardem a senha pelo tamanho que exigem e um futuro sombrio para esses métodos.
    4-Veja que se a pessoa não tiver saldo no celular, não consegue acessar se exigir que verifique e…

  18. Emails from Yahoo periodically show up then disappear (no filters or forwards in place) . It happens sporadically.

    Email alert happens, message appears in mailbox on iPhone then disappears. Does not appear on yahoo mail either. It is sporadic and has been happening for quite some time. Have removed yahoo from iPhone and reinstalled, but the problem persists. frustrating. If I can catch the emails nd open it, it will remain in inbox, otherwise gone forever....

  19. Verification code

    Verification code is a disaster. I ask for it to be resent many times only for them all to eventually arrive all together sometimes after a wait of at least 10 minutes. Have checked all my setting and can find no reason for this. Please explain.

  20. Bring back the 'Images' option that allowed you to view all images sent/received

    We used to be able to see all the images in one location by selecting an "images" option. I found that feature to be unique to Yahoo and that is one of the ONLY reasons I maintained my Yahoo email this long. I would like that back, cause to be honest, the usability has degraded and the fact that having a Yahoo account is seen as outdated as it is, but if the ability to view all the images is gone, I will just start using a more modern server like Gmail.
