  7. Please restore the “Switch to Basic Mail” option in Yahoo Mail.

    The “Switch to Basic Mail” option is no longer visible in my Yahoo Mail settings.

    The current interface is heavy and difficult to use on my system. Earlier, Basic Mail was simple, fast, and very useful for daily business communication.

    Please consider bringing back the Basic Mail option or providing a lightweight navigation view for users who prefer a simpler email experience.

  12. old version of mail

    Hello. Many of the emails I receive have duplicate attachments, and if I try to forward them, I get an error.
    I really liked the old version of email, I got used to it, how can I go back to the old version of email?

  14. Choice of Font

    All of a sudden, the Yahoo mail headers (to and subject) have switched to a very small-sized Times Roman font. There isn't any way for the user to change it to a larger size or, even better, to a easier-to-read font.

    Could you please correct this? Thank you.

  15. ALLOW ME TO DISABLE AUTO SUGGESTION OF EMAIL ADDRESSES NOT IN MY YAHOO CONTACT LIST

    I manage a yahoo mail account I set up for an organization. I do not want you to show email addresses from my other email services when I type in names to search my email lists or start typing in an address to send an email. This is very confusing and inappropriate for this particular use of your system. I need to be able to turn this service off.

  16. STOP ADDING MY CONTACTS TO YAHOO CONTACTS

    I set up Yahoo mail for an organization i support. A year ago Yahoo mail loaded my contacts without my permission into this email account. I had to delete all my personal contacts from the organization email. I thought I had all the settings that would enable your access to my personal contacts turned off. Today I discovered that you had pilfered hundreds of my personal contacts again and now I will spend hours deleting them from Yahoo mail without assurance that I can prevent this in the future. This really sucks. You need to fix it and provide a…

  20. keyboard shortcut addition

    There should be a keyboard shortcut for marking an email as spam. For example, once a message is selected, J (or another unused letter) should send the message directly to the Spam folder.
