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.

  2. Verification code

    Verification code is a disaster. I ask for it to be resent many times only for them all to eventually arrive all together sometimes after a wait of at least 10 minutes. Have checked all my setting and can find no reason for this. Please explain.

  3. seriously,, 20 GB for long time customers? Surley you Jest,,

    terrible Yahoo customer service ,, you should have not forces existing customers to comply with 20GB storage,, anyone that signed up when the 1TB offer was valid should have been allowed to keep it. Also, you need to have an option for annual or semi annual or whatever length of time the customer wants to pay for in advance if they choose larger storage program. Not everyone is willing to do monthly payments,, you have poor planning and no idea how to run your business.

  4. Having to click to advance pages of email is terrible. The new interface is not user friendly and has become more like ancient mail

    Get rid of only 20 e-mails "per page" and have it scroll like it did before. Mail also nolonger auto-refreshes and i'm constantly refreshing the page manually to see new e-mails. Neither of these items are improvements - they make the yahoo mail experience worse.

  6. Go Back to Old Yahoo

    Go back to the old Yahoo mail. The new one and the Classic one are both terrible. Probably will start using Gmail if you don't go back.

  7. Fix email sync to outlook

    You really should have a way for the email to sync with outlook. I’m unable to generate an app password. Tech said it’s not available with the current version. This may leave me with no option but going with a different provider.

  9. Respect our MFA choice!

    I have MFA disabled for my account. Yet EVERY single time I login, you make me go through the rigmarole of sending a verification code to my non-Yahoo e-mail account, that I then have to login to, retrieve your stupid code, to complete my login. I'm sick and tired of it. Please respect my choice not to use MFA! MFA is for stupid people who don't use decent passwords.

    And then you have the gall to ask me if I want to sign-in without a password? Again, every single time!

  11. Go back to old Yahoo mail

    This Yahoo email change to caused too many issues. We as a company have lost almost 1 year of very valuable emails which include job plans for contractors we service as well as many emails from them concerning updates or changes to those plans. You cannot seach multiple months with having to click from page to page. There should be some settings to allow for changes to keep things the way they were. I have tried calling for assistance is trying to retrieve the thousands of emails lost and held for over 20 minutes and then was just cutoff from…

  12. You can make it better by going back to the original email format with all its options.

    Your new version of Yahoo Mail is really terrible. I have been with Yahoo for over 20 years and it has never been this bad. When you have a good thing, you always seem to ruin it by thinking it's better.

  15. Übersicht leidet

    Es ist fast unmöglich, die Speicherplatzbelegung in Yahoo mail zu finden. Nachdem Sie den Speicherplatz so deutlich gesenkt haben, ist das eine sehr lästige Erfahrung.

  16. Make permanent deletes easier

    I have a lot of mail. If I want to delete an emial permanently, I need to Delete, and then painstakingly find it in Deletes, and then Delete it again. Search didn't seem to work in Trash folder. It takes forever.
