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.

  3. Please do not post personal information (such as email addresses, phone numbers or names) on the forum.

  2. AI Summaries are the worst

    So frustrated with my attachments being "Summaries" automatically with AI, never wanted this, never accepted it, it makes documents into time wasted. Cannot remove it either...give people the option to use it or not.

  3. Go back to the previous format.

    I very much dislike the newer format. It did not improve anything, it made it worse. There are too many steps to do one simple function--for example, marking your emails as read or unread. Before, I could just click on the dot. Now I have to open the email, click on Mark as Unread, and then click on Apply. This is not a good change in my opinion. Before, I could just scroll down to see all my emails. Now I have to change pages, which I do not like because some of my older emails that I might want…

  8. Rubbish News

    yahoo news has to be one of the most disgraceful news sites I have ever come across. Total disrespected for the President of the USA and the news stories are nothing but hateful rubbish. I really hate having to be exposed to it whenever I sign out of my email Account. Its revolting and I'm appalled that you have people like that attempting to be journalists. Why are you so Extreme, left wing, woke? no one is interested in your garbage news reporting.

  10. Former Format

    Could you please advise if there is a way to switch back to the former style of Yahoo ? This new format is horrible, hard to read, and confusing. I loved the old format.

  14. Font size and style options

    I would lke to see these options returned to basic. At least the font size for those visually impaired, it makes a big difference.

  16. No llegan los emails

    Estoy esperando que llegue a mi buzón de correos de Yahoo un mail de no-reply-iam@coop.consum.es que sé a ciencia cierta que se ha enviado, porque lo he enviado yo y yo me llega el mail al buzón de Yahoo. Esto sé que está pasando a muchísima más personas.

    Creo que voy a tener que recomendar que no se utilice el correo de yahoo.

  17. Improve 'delete emails' functionality

    In order to efficiently delete excessive numbers of emails, when selecting the 'Sender name A-Z option' Yahoo needs to then include an alphabetical A-Z option to enable the user to jump to a letter to continue deleting emails rather than having to click through multiple pages to get back to the letter where user left off deleting AND/OR enable the user to enter the page number where the user last deleted unwanted emails. The current version is cumbersome and time-wasting when the user needs to click/advance through multiple pages of undeleted emails to, for example, get back to the letter…

  18. more control over the number of emails in the first list

    It is annoying to have to delete 25 spam at a time. We need more control over the number of emails appearing in the list, especially in the delete and spam folders. However, showing more in all folders, or letting us decide, would be great.
