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.

  2. Where are the functions I used to have?

    I can no longer increase the font size, boldface or italicize text in my emails. Why?? The size is way too small. Will this be addressed, or will I need to convert to Gmail after using yahoo for nearly 2 decades?

  10. My inbox is only showing 25 items. Where is the rest of my email?

    Every folder I open only shows 25 items. Where is the rest of my stuff? I've been on the board of our association for 18 years. When I hover over the folder before opening it it shows that there are over 2400 emails that I need access to. Only 25 show when I open it. How the **** do I get to all my information? It's critical!!!!

  13. Attachments are gone if you reply and add others to email.

    Original attachments are not there when you reply to sender and want to add others to the email. No option to add it like it used to be. Now I have to forward the attachment in a separate email to anyone added to the email. Terrible!

  14. other email folder disappeared from new design

    The alliance email folder completely disappeared from the newly design platform. The basic platform is still working. And the SIMPE way design is still much much without jumping colors here there, which is a distraction from reading emails or trying to find the email I want to read

  15. Way to ruin yahoo mail, guess ill stop using this email anymore since you removed basic functions like blocking a sender.

    Way to ruin yahoo mail, guess ill stop using this email since you removed basic functions like blocking a sender. Not even counting how everything else was a downgrade. Your new devs are trash.

  18. I used to be able to see all of my emails in my inbox (or whichever box I chose) at once. Now I can only see 25 at a time. Stupid.

    I used to be able to see all of my emails in any given box at once. Now I can only see 25 at a time and have to page through them. It is much more efficient and less time consuming to be able to scroll to what I want to find. Please give me the option to select "All" instead of 25 at time.

  19. The new yahoo doesn't work with windows 7 on my computer. I didn't ask for change, now I can't open my emails. Great job Yahoo.

    Move to another email system like Outlook. What a ****** thing to do to your customers.
