New Mail Basic Beta



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.

If you have a valid Yahoo ID and password, follow these steps if you would like to remove your posts, comments, votes, and/or profile from the Yahoo product feedback forum.

  1. New email sucks.

    Your new email sucks. I like the older version. Why? It's simple. Why complicate simple things for the sake of "changing things up". Make things easier to use, not more difficult. It's just email. It's not like you are trying to make a rocket to go to the moon.

  4. It didn't need fixing and I didn't ask you to switch me over. It looks like ****, what's with the fat lines they remind me of first grade

    This doesn't improve anything for me, I'm at a loss to how this improves things for you. I don't like it, and I don't like having to hover over your friggen arrows (among other things) to find out how to reply. Switch me back.......This time it's my request
    P.S. My first guess is you're doing away with Yahoo Mail and want us to move over to G-mail or Outlook. Why not just say so?

  5. The Search Box pulls up my email, not the item that I'm searching for - USELESS

    The search box pulls up my email, not what i'm searching for. It does not work. This negatively affects my business. It sucks. Get rid of it and give us back what we had a couple months ago. Waste of time and money. I don't know how many more yahoo changes I can endure. Its a miracle me and my business have survived this long with yahoo changes for the worse.

  11. Please have an option for user to switch Yahoo back to classic look. The new one has too many colors and it is very difficult to read.

  15. Change the interface back to the way it was!

    Change the Yahoo! Mail Pro interface back, it was fine the way it was! Now I don't have my tabbed interface where I could switch between e-mails, my background images are gone, and the folders have lost functionality! Epic fail Yahoo!

  20. Go back to the old yahoo.

    Every time I switch to old yahoo, as soon as I leave that screen you switch me back to the new, worthless, difficult to read and totally unwanted new yahoo. Why can't I stay with old yahoo! Are you trying to force me to go somewhere else? Like GMAIL or somebody else? I've never used any email but yahoo but your stupid insistence on switching me back to the new and much worse yahoo makes me angry. After reading pages of posts regarding your changes I have yet to see any post here that likes your new, messed-up yahoo. That…
