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.

  3. Searching Contacts

    The "Search" function in Contacts should search the "Nickname" field as well. Currently this field does not appear to be included in the Search function.

  6. SCAMer

    Yet another freak posing as Yahoo Admin sending bogus emails to scam various people. Their email came from "Yahoo Mail mollymd1@yahoo.com
    To: no-reply@cc.yahoo-inc.com no-reply@cc.yahoo-inc.com"

    ADMIN, please BAN that account!

  7. A Fundamental Flaw with Accessing Emails in Folders other Than the Inbox

    I have dozens of folders, very common. When I click on any given folder to search specific older emails the system automatically to the Inbox as indicated by the Inbox tab above the email messages. Meaning, I can not use the right arrows to go beyond page one of any folder without the system automatically pulling me back to the Inbox. So any other folder with more than one page worth of messages can never be accessed. This is detrimental to my ability to access historical messages needed. PLEASE FIX ASAP! A folder accessed should remain in that folder!

  8. You removed "select all unread" I hate most of the new "features" but this is the worst. Also, not refreshing automatically.

    You removed "select all unread" I hate most of the new "features" but this is the worst. Much harder to remove the mass of junk that comes in. Also, not refreshing automatically is terrib;e

  11. Fix mail item start action to NOT refresh page, just update the star icon

    As you know the technology and the resulting mail client you created "New Yahoo Mail Basic" is a disaster. No proper AB testing on the client clearly.
    1 KEY BUG >>> you implemented the mail item star function incorrectly. WHEN i star a single mail item in the list the WHOLE PAGE SHOULD NOT REFRESH. If you knew UX design you woiuld know why.
    Please fix

  12. show then delete all emails from a sender

    It used to be possible to check ALL the emails from a sender, then delete them. there was a little symbol... (magnifying glass) now, nothing. Maybe it's possible, but it's hidden. Why fix what works?

  13. Chatrooms

    Yahoo should bring back chatrooms. They are an essential part of a social network and allows people to chat with others locally, nationally and internationally. Chatrooms would bring back web traffic to Yahoo and generate increased revenue. Yahoo should bring them back again.
