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.

Can't edit forwarded messages
You've got to be kidding me! So now when I forward a message I have the choice of sending the entire thing or deleting the entire original message. No way to delete part of it, not even the part showing the person's name and email, which is a privacy issue. Again, do you even TEST this stuff before forcing us to use it?

get rid of right panel that opens when one searches in Yahoo Plus
dunno why anyone thought that I need to see a panel when I search for an email that tells me how long I have been corresponding with someone, how many emails I've sent and what the subject was in the first email. How is any of this information remotely useful? I used to work as an human factors engineer for Boeing and this is pretty much the same as a pilot opening a chart and a panel displaying telling him/her how many times they have flown to that airport and when the first time was. Point of all of this…

Readd the "return to folder" button
In the old basic mail a week ago, when you clicked on an email, there would be a button in the top left that said "Return to <FOLDER>" with whatever folder you had been in. Clicking that would take you back to viewing the folder in the state it had been when you left, including if any emails were checked off or not.
Now, that button is missing. So there's no easy way to get back to viewing what you were looking at before you clicked an email.
Please restore the "Return to <FOLDER>" button.

why did you get rid of the dropdown box options??
the old system allowed you to right-click on checked item and do the selection. now, we have to check the item(s), go to the top of the account to the "actions" box, then click on GO. SO MANY MORE STEPS!!! this is not efficient at all. guess it is time to get rid of Yahoo and move on to other email options.

Restore functionality to sort by Sender within a folder.
I noticed today that I can no longer sort email messages within a folder by Sender. This is an important way to find and manage emails, since the Search function isn't working very well.

BRING BACK ABILITY TO BLOCK EMAIL IN INBOX PAIGE!
SPAM OR PHISING EMAILS SHOULD NOT BE OPENED. BUT NOWTO GET THE SENDERS EMAI YOU HAVE TO BECAUSE NOW YOU HAVE TO GO TO SETTINGS AND ADD IT TO THE BLOCKED EMAIL ADDRESS SECTION. WITH 20+ SPAMS A DAY, YOU CANT COPY & PASTE ALL OF THEM ONE AT A TIME!!! HUGE OVERSIGHT-NOT BEING ABLE TO BLOCK THEM AT ONE TIME IN THE INBOX PAIGE IS WRONG.

In Box Changes
On my laptop I now get a lot of blank space after every so many messages. Instead of breaking them into pages, can't you just let me scroll through them?
And when I open each message I get a lot of blank space so I have to scroll down a lot to get to the place where I can choose to delete or move or whatever. Very inefficient for me.
And I liked it when you separated the messages by date so it was easier to see how old things were. Having all messages spaced the same doesn't work for…

Why do I have to scroll way down to reply to and then to send an email? That option would be better placed at the top or directly under.
Please move the reply and send buttons closer to the body of the email.

Delete the Page Option
There's no need for an option to go from page to page. Just let the emails come in the order received and let the emails continue down the page. It's so much easier to see all your emails at the same, not on separate pages. With the Page Option, it takes twice as long to check email when you have to wait to go to another page. This new Yahoo Page is extremely slow when deleting emails and moving from page to page.

Bring back to toolbar
Bring back the toolbar that allows you to control font size, style, italics, bold, color, etc. When I switched back to basic all of those options disappear. I suppose to punish users like me who don't want to switch to the ugly, confusing new Yahoo mail?
