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.
  2. This forum is for feedback and ideas only. Unfortunately, we cannot provide support here. For support, please visit our help site.
  3. Please do not post personal information (such as email addresses, phone numbers or names) on the forum.

The Yahoo product feedback forum requires a valid Yahoo ID and password. If you do not have a Yahoo ID or the password to your Yahoo ID, please sign-up for a new account.

  4. Bring back the Classic classic email!!!

    I just got into my email this morning and classic email has now changed! I can only see about 20 emails at a time. What the **** is that? I tried to have customer service help but they said they couldn't. I will not use the new email as it sucks. Well, now this new version of classic sucks, too! We have been Yahoo customers for over 25 years. If you do not switch back to the way classic was last week, we will be moving on. I will not use it like this. I am paying for a service…

  6. instantly filter to see all messages from a sender

    We used to be able to instantly filter the inbox to show all emails from a sender. Please bring that back. I used it all the time. It's so much more convenient than having to use the search box.

  7. Allow me to have 2 accounts signed into during the same session

    Not sure what changed, but I used to be able to have two Yahoo mail accounts (which I use for different type of activities) active at the same time. This is no longer the case on my desktop or laptop (nothing changed on my phone) and it is highly annoying. Please fix it.

  10. You removed "select all unread" I hate most of the new "features" but this is the worst. Also, not refreshing automatically.

    You removed "select all unread" I hate most of the new "features" but this is the worst. Much harder to remove the mass of junk that comes in. Also, not refreshing automatically is terrib;e

  11. Bring back the 'Images' option that allowed you to view all images sent/received

    We used to be able to see all the images in one location by selecting an "images" option. I found that feature to be unique to Yahoo and that is one of the ONLY reasons I maintained my Yahoo email this long. I would like that back, cause to be honest, the usability has degraded and the fact that having a Yahoo account is seen as outdated as it is, but if the ability to view all the images is gone, I will just start using a more modern server like Gmail.

  12. The top action line HAS to freeze when scrolling! Who would ever want to scroll up and down to do something.

    The top action line HAS to freeze when scrolling! Who would ever want to scroll up and down to do something like deleting or archiving. Get it together Yahoo. There aren't many of us still using you.

  16. Can't change or delete filter

    When I change or delete a mail filter, then hit 'save', the screen changes, as if it is updating, but, there is no change in the result. Clearing the browser cache and restarting the browser doesn't help. HELP!!!

  17. Stop driving me crazy with robot checks and invalid password warnings!

    I've never had this kind of trouble with yahoo, and today it's been a HUGE frustration. I KNOW my password, and you say it's incorrect. Do you like passwords? Do you enjoy being driven to distraction with robot proof pictures?? Neither do i. PLEASE!! STOP!

  18. Please remove the tabs across the top of my inbox

    You added tabs across the top of the inbox. This is unnecessary since they are not commonly used. They can be summed in in an options drop down.

  19. Have inbox utilize all available space in window

    Have inbox use all available space, not just a third (center "column") of the window, leaving the right side completely blank and useless. This makes reading the inbox and email content easier.
