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.

  4. Whenever I have logged out and the following day, log -into yahoo mail. I check my account log and usually I see I am still logged in

    Whenever I have logged out and the following day, log into yahoo mail. I check my account log and usually I see I am still logged in from several active entries. Is this common or do I have issues?

  11. Remedy for being locked out

    Please make the "secret questions" method for accessing a locked-out account available to ALL Yahoo accounts -- not merely some. On my current trip to Istanbul from the U.S., I was initially locked out of my four Yahoo accounts. One account eventually allowed access by answerıng two secret questions. The other three accounts continue denying access by cross-referencing to each other . . . and by NOT asking the secret questions attached to those accounts. Talk about a "Catch 22." Any help overcoming this problem will be greatly appreciated. Muchas gracias.

    Fix the ability to include attachments. You are doing a great disservice to your users, apparently a serious problem for some time.

    On March 4, 2017, 16 draft files suddenly and unexpectedly disappeared from my drafts folder. I requested restoration of lost e-mails, and several intentionally deleted e-mails reappeared in my trash folder, but the drafts did not return, and I need them. Can anyone help?

  15. How about investing in a dictionary? I have to go to other search engines to spell words because Yahoo Mail is borderline illiterate.

    Buy a dictionary. Yahoo Mail doesn't have a very large vocabulary. Why have spell check if it doesn't know how to spell the words?

  16. Mail filters would be nice!

    Your help section says to just go to Mail Settings and there the filters will be. Well...I've just tried out Basic Mail, New, and the mobile sites. Not only is there no Settings link (it's called Options, now), but apparently there's no filter function. I'm suddenly getting loads of Spam in my inbox and having filters back would be nice! Or at least update the help section!

  18. Include more options when completing the Restore Request (i.e. "Saved Draft Missing")

    Include more options in Yahoo dropdown list for us to check when completing the Email Restore Request (i.e. "Previously Saved Draft Missing"). If this is not implemented, how does Yahoo tech know the issue relates to a missing "PREVIOUSLY SAVED" DRAFT? Also, Yahoo needs to clarify what their definition of an email is (i.e. does it Include "draft"?)
