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.

You can't "Trash" your Drafts any more
If I create a Draft that I then want to delete becasue I changed my mind - there is not "Trash" icon while creating a Draft when there used to be in the older version. Not efficient to have to close the draft, clikc on the check box next to it and THEN hit Delete

When you click on an email and then want to "X" the tab out to get back to your list - there is no "X"
When you bring up an email, there is no "X" next to the "Inbox" tab as there used to be, so that you can close that email and go back to the list.

Show new emails as soon as them arrive
So, I noticed that when a new email comes in , on the left folder view, I can see the highlighted "1" but in my view to the right of that, the new email isn't there. I have to actually click on the 1 in order to see the new email in the right side list. Not efficient, not an improvement.

Not being able to add photos to the body of the text
Why have you got rid of adding photos into the text of the email? It is so annoying that you have to have everything as an attachment which is an extra step all round. Plus you can't choose multiple files in one go to upload to your email you have to do each separately. This new version of the old Mail is really not user friendly. you have added more steps for so many functions. Can you go back to the old version please. the new one is not good.

Links in Signature
I used to have links in my signature and now the links have become inactive and there's no way to edit them to re-do the links. Bring back ink functionality in signatures.

After hitting the "Reply" button - how about putting the cursor in the BODY of the email ready to type.
Right now, when you hit Reply, the cursor is not active anywhere. So if you hit Reply, and then start typing - nothing happens. This BREAKS the way Yahoo email used to work before the "update". Please put it back.

Sortieren der Kontakte
Warum bleibt die Sortierung nach Nachnamen nicht bestehen, sondern wechselt immer wieder auf Vornamen (z.B. wenn man eine Löschung gemacht hat). Das ist supermühsam.

missing items or can't find them
can't find where to change font, size , color etc.
tired of closing mail, thinking i am in an internet tab, wish it would be able to freeze the top of the email, where it notes it is mail,
system is now slower since you have changed, more frustrating to navigate, more steps to activate an action, before you could just click on move, pick the folder and it went, now you have to activate it as well and waitbefore I could paste into the email directly, now I have to create a file, and attach it, can't seem…

Please add back the folder list on the left margin
In the new email format the folder structure can be found in a drop down box. Having the folder list visible was much better user experience.
