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.

  2. A MOBILE NUMBER SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED

    A mobile number shouldn't be required to create an account. i can't even create a backup e-mail address without it.
    Why would i give my mobile number even if i had one especially when yahoo continues making claims of a security breech.

  3. Add a switch so we can see our password, if we choose to

    At my office, we have a switch we can throw if we want to make our password visible to us. It is NOT a problem, since my logging in to my computer in the morning is when I am alone in my office. No one else is going to see my password. If I have to log in to a computer which is not mine, I simply do not throw the switch to make my password visible.

    This has cut down on the number of 'password incorrect' events (according to our IT) by 72%. Believe it or not, I'm smart…

  13. I don't mind ads until they take up part of message and I can't read my it!

    I told you to cut back on the size of the ad. I know you must have them but if they block the email they are too big!
    Now I have another problem with the ads; they are coming on over the area I am suppose to have to get to the next idem.
    I don't think you will change or even answer; so I must lost yahoo in favor of another service.

  18. gmail will earn another customer. Yahoo ads are a money grab on our convenience.

    here is an idea. instead of making money just to bnombard the screen with ads, why not give a choice to view ads, or delete the moment t
    they appear? yahoo needs more money for what? gmail here I come.
    after years of enjoying yahoo, they take our preference mail and change to another "new" mail that absolutely no one likes.
    Time to put your thinking caps on yahoo
