Yahoo Mail Basic



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.

Tell us how we can improve your Yahoo Mail – Basic experience. The more specific your feedback, the more useful for us. While we can’t respond to every suggestion, we review regularly and take them very seriously. Our Guidelines have more on how you can give great feedback.

  6. Now I know why Yahoo is losing money. What a joke you have become.

    I am sick and tired of having to confirm on my phone that I am logging in on my computer. Why should I have to do this every single time? Every time you try to make mail better you make it MUCH worse. I have to use basic because the other is a JOKE. I am in the process of changing everything to another email account. Once completed I will just cancel this account if company can't get their act together.

  8. Don't automatically mark my emails as read until I ACTUALLY read them.

    Emails should not be marked as read until they are ACTUALLY read. Every time I open my inbox, every new email shows as read and it makes it difficult to truly see what is new and what is old.

  10. Somehow, after I had cleared my cookies etc, I got a version of Yahoo! email that asked me to verify myself EVERY time I logged in! Stink!

    The "Previous" and "Next" buttons are often dimmed (& unavailable). It just randomly seems to happen. Whichever way it comes up in a mailbox (inbox, sent, trash, . . .) it stays that way until I go to another mailbox.

  12. I am never going to have Verizon phone and I will never pay them anything. All my contacts have this email address & I will have to change

    I will never pay Verizon a dime.
    I DO NOT WANT THAT for my e-mail.
    You do that, I will have to change to another e-mail carrier that will not mess around with me.
    Why would you do such a thing?

  14. OMG no! NOT verizon. Should I bail now?

    OMG. Yahoo sold out. And to one of the worst companies ever.
    The long winded tos does not even MENTION will our email stay the same? Will there be support at all? Yahoo had some. Verizon I had for our phone and they were HORRIBLE!!!!!! I sure hope maybe they learned not to treat customers like garbage. But considering we are free users, I don't see any hope here. Gees, I hate moving everything to a new email. But I have a bad feeling that's exactly what's going to happen. This will go the way of AOL. You know, from…

  15. Stop the verification account key on "EVERY" sign in. The box is "NOT" checked......

    Remove the "Key" for every sign in. Also uncheck the box as default for "keep me signed in" The box in setup is not checked for two step varification so why require a "KEY" evertime...

  19. What is the Timeframe until Safari will be able to use a modern Yahoo Email Again?

    Safari can only use basic email at this point. What is the timeframe until it is set back to a modern email version? Is it going to be more than one or two more weeks?

  20. In "Recent Activity", eliminate "Sign Out".

    It makes no sense to allow someone to "sign out" an entry in the "Recent Activity" list. If I can sign out (and eliminate the listing of a session) then so can someone that's compromised my account.

    Also, "sign out" is a bit misleading. It sounds like the user may still be logged in somewhere (even if they've most certainly logged out). It should just be called "delete", because that's more apt to what you're doing. But again, I don't think being able to delete entries from this list aligns with the goal of a recent activity log.

    I would…
