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.

  2. Block senders

    The older version allowed you to hover over an email sender, see the address, right click it and add it to block senders list.No longer able to do this.The old version was fine and easier to use.Some actions take more than one click to do what was a one click operation.Progress?

  3. Attachments should be attachments, not thumbnail previews that can't be opened full size.

    The idea below mine is the same, but it won't let me "vote" w/o signing into something i don't want. Attachments need to have an option to open the attachments. People don't send them so we can only access a preview/thumbnail of it.
    Note, I am signed in. I don't know what hte problem is with this feedback option, but it needs fixing too.

  4. Increase number of messages on a page to 50

    I get a lot of messages in a day. The inbox would be more manageable if I could see 50 messages on a page, especially since I like to sort them by sender so I could see what I want to read first.

  5. Bulk Delete

    Bulk delete of mail is an option that NEEDS to be REMOVED.
    Caught once by this when message came up asking to about bulk when just one item was ticked. Message appears too frequently. Too dangerous and a needless option. Yahoo actually mass deleted my emails three times. It is very annoying. FIX THIS

  7. 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

  9. Que no decidan actualizar la bandeja de entrada borrándome todos mis mensajes

    Por favor no decidan ustedes cuando actualizar la bandeja de entrada de mi correo borrando todos mis mensajes. No es la primera vez que me lo hacen y cada vez me sienta peor
    Please don't decide when to update my email inbox by deleting all my messages. It's not the first time they've done it to me and I feel worse each time.

  10. Open attachments

    I would prefer to open attachments sent to me without saving them first, let me open them first then allow me to decide if I want to download and save them or not.

  11. 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.

  12. It should be simple to add a photo (ex: for a business logo) on your signature by copy and pasting into signature box in settings.

    Copy any photo from your computer and paste into signature box for all outgoing signatures under settings. This seems like a simple idea, not sure why in the world Yahoo wouldnt offer this. To personalize your business, homeschool, etc..... Really makes me want to use Gmail instead.

  16. Please for the love of all things, go back to the font/format you used before!

    Yesterday as I went to check my email I was hoping it was just a bad dream and that today when I checked it, it would be back to normal I would be able to actually READ who the email was from, the subject AND the actual email but I was very disappointed to see that it's still the same ****! When you have a c looking like an o and a i looking like a l, that is about the dumbest font you can pick! Let US pick what font/size and all that for our inbox. I get that…

  17. 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.
