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.

  1. Ask us first before you change something on our e-mail. We might not want it changed.

    Why is my birthday stated on my account information. I don't want
    my birthday made public anywhere on the internet or in my e-mail.
    It's no one else's business including yours. You did not ask me first.

  2. Leave it alone, and put it back to original format.

    Improvement was never needed. I agree with everyone that says they don't like it either. Why did you change it? Things that don't need improvement should be LEFT ALONE.

  3. 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.

  6. Please change Classic Layout back to the way it was!

    If the New email layout for Basic/Classic mail has actually been that way for the last 2-3 months, then 1.) I've been living under a rock and 2.) How come you haven't changed it back to the Layout it used to be???

    Honestly, it should NOT take that long to change it back to the Old layout after tons and tons of feedback from other Yahoo users on here who ALL want the same thing which is: The Real Basic view for Classic Mail...NOT this new format.

  7. Please keep Classic Mail the way it was!!! There is absolutely NOTHING to change.

    Classic Mail has already worked for Many Many years and there was absolutely NO Need to change the layout for classic mail. Based off how many other Yahoo users have commented/posted, you should have Never changed the layout of Basic/Classic Mail.

    We all as Yahoo users should have the option to choose if we want the new layout or the Old layout. No one should ever be forced to become accustomed to a layout that they not only hate, but aren't comfortable with either. Please revert back to the Old layout and please try not to be like hotmail/outlook because…

  9. 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.

  12. Give me back my old Yahoo Mail. Why did you change everything without bothering to ask me first? Very rude!

    Your "new" mail is trash. I'm thinking about leaving Yahoo forever, and that would be YOUR fault! Sad...

  16. Why can't you just leave well enough alone. Why do your IT people need to constantly change that which is working for us. I DON'T LIKE!

    LEAVE IT ALONE! I want to go back to the traditional format but can't seem to get it done. What your IT people consider good is NOT what I consider good. Plus, your leftist comments on the home page are not appreciated.

  17. You don't need to improve Yahoo Mail. Leave it the way it is NOW.

    You don't have to improve Yahoo Mail. As you read from the feedback of everyone, we are happy with the way it was before. If anyone wants to improve, thay have the choice to switch to Advance Yahoo mail. Please don't force us to use the improve Yahoo Mail we hate.

    Pay attention to your users. This new look is awful, inconvenient, and a pain in the neck. You have to search at the bottom for the little button to go to the next page. There is no button to go directly to 2, 3, or 4, etc. Not to mention ugly, with the various shades of blue and purple it is difficult to read. Don't you know that blue is difficult for readers with color blindness? Your people don't seem to know what they are doing, every new version gets worse.
