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.

  1. reconnect yahoo mail notifications with Yahoo news responses

    Sometimes, the notifications of responses to a Yahoo News account to Yahoo mail become disconnected. It would be very helpful to have a tab to reconnect the responses from yahoo news to the yahoo mail.

  2. In Search results, show folder that emails found are in-

    When searching at top level (all emails), in the search results, add a column to show the folder that the emails were found in.

    This helps me to find emails on topic / keyword searched for, and to know where they are filed. It helps YahooMail as if I do not need to create another folder if one already exists that I can use. Finally I can keep my email more organized/less cluttered if I have a tool to locate emails by topic, then I am more likely to clean out those that are no longer needed.

    Note: I think…

  12. Auto Refresh Inbox

    When a new message comes in you put a notification on the inbox page. Why not dispense with the notification and just auto refresh the page either when something comes in or on a regular schedule such as every five minutes.

  13. So I was on basic and that you now force the non-mail tabs instead of multi-email tabs to try to get me off basic is evil

    So I was on basic and that you now force the non-mail tabs instead of multi-email tabs to try to get me off basic is evil. I've been on basic and turning off new mail several times and yet, somehow now when I fix my suddenly changed settings (to show images always after I had it as ask always) and click back to basic, it's now forcing only one email at a time. Any provider that has to nerf the existing functionality to make someone switch is quite obviously doing it wrong.

  14. Broken features in new interface

    • Clicking the blue "unread" marker no longer marks message as read
    • Shift+K no longer marks selected messages as read
    • Message load times have skyrocketed (4x on average)

    Please stop trying to be Google. If I wanted Google I'd go to Google.

  15. REMOVE THE TAB THAT IS SLOWING EVERYTHING DOWN

    THE NEW YAHOO WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO NAVIGATE.
    I WENT BACK TO THE OLD YAHOO AND EVERYTIME I TRY TO ACCESS MAIL, MY PC SLOWS DOWN TO A CRAWL. MY SYSTEM TELLS ME THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO FIX A TAB THAT IS SLOWING EVERYTHING DOWN.
    IN ONE WEEK, I WILL ABANDON MY YAHOO ACCOUNT ALTOGETHER. FIX THE TAB. IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

  16. FONCTIONNALITES MANQUANTES

    J'ai mon compte depuis de nombreuses années sur Yahoo. Par contre, avec vos modifications, sur votre appli, il est devenu impossible de "faire du ménage" et supprimer toute une liste de mails qui polluent nos boites C'EST SUPER EMBETANT
    De plus, on ne voit plus tous les onglets ouverts lorsque l'on veut traiter plusieurs choses en même temps ! Dommage aussi

  17. Yahoo needs to be more aware of what AI is doing wrong

    For more than 3 days I have to leave Yahoo and go find my phone. I seldom use a cell phone. I this idea of security is a joke. I believe I am better at keeping my computer secure than Yahoo ever has. Two days ago I could not read what I need to read because Yahoo was continually interrupting with suggestions or me to view. This tells me that either AI is in control of Yahoo or Yahoo is having trouble getting users like myself to use sites that Yahoo is trying to force the users to open.

  18. Yahoo security

    Everything I read says Yahoo has had problems with security. If I want to want to automatically log out when I close Yahoo, that should be a option. It is not secure to walk away from my computer if anyone could open my email. I am sick of trying to read something online and Yahoo keeps interrupting with suggestions for me to view. I do not use a cell phone often and for 3 days now I have had to go looking for my cell phone before Yahoo will allow me to login

  20. "Starred" folder is now missing

    There was always a "starred" option in the menu that auto-populates, but it's now missing. I switched bask to Basic due to frustration with missing functions in the other option. Please help. Thank you!
