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.

  3. Emails flip back to top of the list

    When I'm looking at my emails any action, reading then closing, deleting etc,, causes the list to flip back to the top of page one. Why is that? Why can't I just stay where I was when I read/deleted the mail? And why do there have to be pages? Does anyone at Yahoo read these comments? Where can I read the responses? Where can I read the reasons for the changes in format?

  6. Cannot whitelist an email address. Always send an important email to spam.

    Cannot whitelist an email address. Always send an important email to spam. Suggest to have Inbox folder option available when selecting filter function. Currently you can only archive to put it in trash folder. There's no Inbox folder option. That means you can only archive or delete incoming email but not whitelist it.

  7. About a week ago, I cut a line from an article, and pasted it on some comments on Yahoo News. Since then, all of my comments are rejected.

  8. 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....

  10. I do not want automatic language settings but my account in English this is impossible when one travels and does NOT KNOW THE LANGUAGE

    The language settings of the account should be left as is. NOT only did the account change automatically to language of the country where the login is BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE AN OPTION FOR PUTTING IT BACK TO ENGLISH - this is actually something that makes this account UNUSABLE - allow people to chose there language for the account!

  13. 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.

  16. By allowing us to choose our passwords and not be dictated to by you on what we want to use.

    Yahoo are not very bright, by refusing us to use our own countries financial sign means hacking is much easier as we have to use the Dollar sign. Give us the end user the right to choose our own currency symbol and stop saying its not safe to use when in fact its much safer than using a dollar sign as its a common sign, so is more unsafe than say the British pound. Wake up and fix it as we can find ways of escalating this to higher powers in Yahoo and seriously contemplating doing it.

  19. STOP ENABLING SCAMMERS.

    I've been on the Internet for over 27 years and it's disgusting that a big company like Yahoo refuses to support the HONEST people who use it, like the people at Eudora did, several years ago. between all the **** you plague us with ad-wise I would think that you already make enough money without compromising the reason for the entire website - communicating seamlessly, AND scammer-free with others on the Internet?

    Why Eudora closed it's doors is beyond me, because it was 10 times the company AND email platform that Yahoo, or that piece of **** Google will ever…
