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. PLEASE allow us to edit our "nickname".

    I don't even remember setting it up, and now what it's set to has become a problem and I need to change it. But there's no way to edit it. :/ PLEASE CHANGE THIS!

  2. Don't ever report a Yahoo ad no matter how offensive it is

    If you do, Yahoo will then make absolutely sure you see that ad every five seconds.

  3. Monetizing the Email Forwarding Function

    Why are you forcing me to pay a subscription just so I can forward my email to another address? This is a basic function in any email app and the new idea to monetize is should be re-considered.

  4. System Failure

    Yahoo! Will be right back. Thank you for your patience. Our engineers are working quickly to resolve the issue.

    The above problem occurs way too frequently in comparison to my gmail account. Why can't you guys get your act together and provide us with reliable service. The same this happened sometime back when I was going ot have an inteview and needed to get the link to the meeting and couldn't access it. So eventually luckily called them and geot the link sent to gmail. My IT friends keep telling me to move to gmail as they are more reliable…

  6. Why do I keep getting a 60 minutes delay to logging into my email from my laptop

    I keep getting a 60 minute delay (lockout) from my laptop. If it's a security issue identified, provide an option for 2-factor authentication. I can log in at the same time from my other laptop or phone

  7. permit the generation of passwords for desktop apps

    permit the generation of passwords for desktop apps. You disabled this without warning and I can't afford the expense of upgrading hardware and software. Working with mail and calendars on your web site is **** expensive at 1c+ per mb in rural Australia. It is also extremely painful with response times measured in MINUTES, not seconds.

  8. Your SpamGuard Does No Work as I keep getting the same SPAM DAILY.

    Your SpamGuard Does No Work as I keep getting the same SPAM DAILY. Why? Why do you have such an inefficient, ineffective system? Is Yahoo Mail secretly collaborating with the Spammers?

    Give me BACK my emails! You junked my account and contacted me at a rarely used email. I had clicked stay signed in, so I didn't sign out of the blasted account. I WANT MY EMAILS AND CONTACTS BACK! Really blanking nice to do to people. I see I'm not the only one who has had this happen to them.

  19. Fix your spam filters!

    Shipping notifications and updates from the Federal effing government aren't even going to spam. They're just not arriving AT ALL.
    And yet, I am inundated with unfiltered actual spam daily. Get your act together, you choads.
