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:

Can't edit forwarded messages
You've got to be kidding me! So now when I forward a message I have the choice of sending the entire thing or deleting the entire original message. No way to delete part of it, not even the part showing the person's name and email, which is a privacy issue. Again, do you even TEST this stuff before forcing us to use it?

get rid of right panel that opens when one searches in Yahoo Plus
dunno why anyone thought that I need to see a panel when I search for an email that tells me how long I have been corresponding with someone, how many emails I've sent and what the subject was in the first email. How is any of this information remotely useful? I used to work as an human factors engineer for Boeing and this is pretty much the same as a pilot opening a chart and a panel displaying telling him/her how many times they have flown to that airport and when the first time was. Point of all of this…

Readd the "return to folder" button
In the old basic mail a week ago, when you clicked on an email, there would be a button in the top left that said "Return to <FOLDER>" with whatever folder you had been in. Clicking that would take you back to viewing the folder in the state it had been when you left, including if any emails were checked off or not.
Now, that button is missing. So there's no easy way to get back to viewing what you were looking at before you clicked an email.
Please restore the "Return to <FOLDER>" button.

NEED algorithm stopping spam like this
PLEASE write an algorithm to stop '****' like this from getting through the system. I should not have to deal with this daily to mark as 'spam' when it is OBVIOUS.

One click switch between accounts
I have more than one Yahoo mail account, for different purposes. I used to be able to click on the user icon and change between accounts. Now I have to go to the home Yahoo page, click the icon, choose the account, login again, explain again that I don't want biometrics or two factor authentication, and choose to view email, and close the tab with the home page on it. And often you make me verify my recovery information. It has been the same for years. It will continue to be the same. This is not useful, it is annoying…

why did you get rid of the dropdown box options??
the old system allowed you to right-click on checked item and do the selection. now, we have to check the item(s), go to the top of the account to the "actions" box, then click on GO. SO MANY MORE STEPS!!! this is not efficient at all. guess it is time to get rid of Yahoo and move on to other email options.

Cannot control Enhanced Contacts
Hello,
I am using Yahoo Mail Basic (and have no desire to switch to a newer version), and I have noticed that the people I correspond with are automatically being added to my contacts without any action on my side. According to the Help pages, I should be able to disable this feature by disabling Enhanced Contacts, but there is no control setting for Enhanced Contacts on the Contacts page that I am able to access.
When I click on Settings > Contacts, I just see a list of people that I have added manually to the list. So, I…

Restore functionality to sort by Sender within a folder.
I noticed today that I can no longer sort email messages within a folder by Sender. This is an important way to find and manage emails, since the Search function isn't working very well.

It is horrible to have to sign in in another account to get a code to sign in in yahoo mail
It is horrible to have to sign in in another account to get a code to sign in in yahoo mail! It is annoying and completely useless if a password is give. This is done in order to steal more information from the users to bombard later with ads. IT IS NOT A SECURITY FEATURE AND DOES NOT PROVIDE MORE SECURITY THAN A PASSWORD!

EITHER different COLORS for the "Favorite Stars" or perhaps NUMBERS
Dear To Whom It May Concern,
I want to ORGANIZE my folders, emails, etc, from say most wanted, needed to keep to those I would like to keep but not as much as those most wanted to keep...also, this ADDING the COLOR SELECTION to the stars would and could help others organize their email by category and so on. ---Just a thought

The directions for viewing Base Storage used do not work. In Settings Nor in any other check
I happen to like your base setting desktop e-mail better than the full featured version, except that the directions for finding my storage used is wrong and I have to use my Android App to do so. This should be a basic function if this account is to remain free. What gives?

Annoying safety measure
You ask me the safety code from the mail 2 when I try to sign in for mail 1, but to access that code you ask me the safety code from the mail 1 (exactly the mail which I try to access).
