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.

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

  3. Pre-Filter for filthy and repetitive e-mails as the filters do not work consistently

    Some simple method is needed to prevent the continued receipt of filthy e-mail. I simply cannot enter several sites that send F#@$ and other such filth and using the filters does not work. These clowns have learned how to bypass them as have those who send me Destiny credit card invitations nearly every day even tho Destiny is on the reject list.

  5. stop asking for a fingerprint when i am on a PC

    stop asking for a fingerprint when i am on a PC. i know it is very easy for the program to know if i am on a phone or a PC. Dont ask over and over and over and over if i want to use fingerprint to logon. I would think asking once a month would suffice, instead of every **** time i logon to my email

  8. 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.

  9. CALENDAR

    I don't like this new calendar layout. Only showing 2 or 3 events per day is a problem. I have to click every day to find the events in a type. Plus the Type logo requires an extra click. I need it to show me a week or a month at first glance, like the previous edition. Now I have to open each day to recap.

  11. Bring back the old yahoo!

    Can you please PLEASE bring back the previous version of yahoo mail. This new email is so frustrating. When I try to sort emails for mass delete I am having to check each individual email. I can only see a limited number of emails and I am so concerned that I am missing important information. PLEASE bring back the older version of yahoo mail even if it's only to my account (gci73) :-)) THANK YOU!

  13. Stop interrupting me with the "turn on notifications for news..." popup

    It is frustrating if I am checking things or doing something and the popup keeps happening. I will catch up on news in the course of the day. Thanks though...I really do find it to be annoying.

  16. 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.

  18. 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!

  20. 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…
