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.

  1. Incrediby thoughtless changes...

    I would like to thank you for making a change recently which makes your mail application more difficult, time-consuming, and annoying than previously.

    Previous to this thoughtless change, whenever I opened an email, and scrolled down the page, if I decided I didn't want or need to take any further action, I could simply move my cursor to the top of the page I was on, where I could find the "Delete" button, and delete the email.

    Now, if I open an email which has a large amount of data, requiring that I scroll quite far down the page, if…

  3. Fix an error and return to the old tried and true

    1. There is a coding error where if the delete button is clicked, and no boxes are checked, it assumes deletion of ALL messages in the inbox!?!

    2. Please return to the easier use of drag and drop; where a message could be dragged to the folder of choice. Instead of selecting, clicking action, selecting an action, and finally clicking apply. 4 steps now to replace 1 from the old mail page.

    Thanks,

  8. Blocking Spam Email Addresses

    You've removed my ability to block emails that are spam. Now I have to open the suspect email, copy the email address, go to Settings, Blocking, and copy the address in.
    Also, why remove emojis from email? Am I out of date wanting to sometimes use them?!

    Bring back the original Yahoo Mail. When it is not broken, do not try to fix it. A word from the wise.

  12. DENUNCIA

    Estimados:

    A quien corresponde: es mi deseo hacer una denuncia acerca de una actividad irregular, de la que tengo indicios de que es de ustedes.

    Desde hace ya bastante tiempo recibo en mi CELULAR una notificación de, supuestamente ustedes, y que en reiteradas e insoportables insistencias dicen:
    "Se necesitan las credenciales. Ingresa las credenciales para... (mi dirección de correo electrónico de Yahoo").

    Me llega como notificación a mi gmail. Al abrir mi correo de gmail NO hay ningún correo de esas características en mi buzón de entradas.

    Al querer acceder desde la notificación de la que me refiero, me linkea…

  13. Star colors, number and arrows to move down from one message to the next as apposed to going back to inbox after each message is read.

    Dear To Whom It May Concern,

    1) Perhaps different color of stars (Red, Blue, Green , Yellow, Black, Brown, etc) this to organize each message by priority-importance to the reader, also the use of numbering system (1,2,3, etc.) can do the same thing.
    2) After each message is read and designated by color of star or numbering system, the messages can be deleted WITHOUT the designated messages being deleted
    3) The arrows on the right side of the messages are MISSING so I can't go down to the next message W/O going to the inbox to click on the next…

  14. STOP MAKING CHANGES!!!

    Let's face it, the few changes I see you have made to my basic mail page merely require that I pull down more menus, click more buttons, and then make it more and more necessary for me to "upgrade" (read: 'spend money') to your "Super Special New Yahoo Mail (Which costs more). I assure you, I will NOT EVER upgrade to a version for which I must pay my hard-earned, fixed-income dollars! I have gratefully been using your basic mail for at least the past THIRTY YEARS, and have been extremely reluctant to change systems. But if you make it…

  18. Go back to basic calendar

    New calendar is very unappealing, no dark break lines between days of week, stark white with no color options,
    task colors for each calendar are too dark and task text too light to be seen clearly...
    Overall, the appearance is NOT an improvement.

  19. it reads one email then goes back to "all" email view

    How much more can you make this suck? Not only does it not let you see more than one page of new emails (not scrollable, nor can you move to a 2nd page) but whether you select the last shown or first shown, when you delete the email, instead of moving to the next newest email (ie how it used to work) it pops out of the email view to the incomplete list view. ******* lame. Fix this dumbasses

  20. Show all emails. ie stop making the basic version suckass to promote the new mail

    my email was fine until I had to log out. I then was given the option to have a neutered version of my email or the new email. The new email is annoying because of the "Primary function" and inability to differentiate unread emails from read emails in dark mode. I reverted back and when I have over 100 emails unread, there is ONE SINGLE PAGE OF EMAIL SHOWING WHERE YOU CANNOT SCROLL DOWN TO THE LAST 100th UNREAD EMAIL. ALSO you can't select dark mode. This is absolute ********. Fix this or I'm moving my account to Google.
