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.

  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.

  11. Dump the Apply button.

    Get rid of the Apply button. They whole idea of good UI design has always to make it require the least number of clicks possible to accomplish a task. It feels like this interface was created by people who don't understand basic UI design concepts.
    The old interface was simple and it worked. You broke it, for no good reason.

  18. Allow the user to delete the folders and emails within it.

    A screen shot is available upon request.
    I receive the following error when attempting:
    "There was a problem! Sorry, but we had a little problem removing this folder. Please try again".
    I did try again, several times. This seems to be more than a "little" problem. Please allow me to delete the folders, or you should be responsible for any costs with necessary increased storage if you cannot allow the user to delete unnecessary emails and folders.

  19. Stop blocking email sign in from different ip location all the time

    On vacations or job travels and dynamic IP's from our ISP, we use different IP's all the time to access our email.

    So, if the unusual activity doesn't compromise our recovery options or password change or spamming my contacts, just after logging in, it should not interfere with our access to the email account. Being the only reason acceptable where it would be needed the recovery email to perform the actions above, when accessing it from a different IP location.

    Since 1995, I haven't trusted Microsoft's Outlook or similar apps, for the reason that they are all-time-logged and for security…
