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.

  1. New mail also makes Freedom of Information-related communication difficult.

    In addition to the new email format being counterintuitive and too light to read easily, to and from emails with the same party require choosing that feature. When dealing with Freedom of Information requests, etc., the continuity of communication must be seen and as free from manipulation as possible.

    Also, when forwarding email - for example, the email address was wrong and you do not want to have to rewrite everything - you have to reinsert the addressee.

  3. What happened to endless scrolling of mails?

    I used to be able to go through my email by simply scrolling up/down with my mouse wheel. Now I get a single page of emails with << >> to go to next page. This is a waste of time. Since this was already the method of operating exactly what problem did it fix? In looking at a lot of the comments yahoo appears to be messing up mail big time. If you're looking for ways to improve the 'user experience' why don't you pay attention to the comments?

  7. Enlarge the print and check boxes and quit sending us back to inbox after deleting a message

    Your print is too small. Every time I delete a message that I have read I am sent to the inbox. Really frustrating. Delete button and other buttons are too hard to read and find. Take back to the way it used to be or give us the option to do so.

  10. The new design stinks.

    The third time your coders decided to show off instead of improving mail. Quit trying to fix what ain't broke.

  14. Old Version

    Don't even bother. There is absolutely nothing you or anyone else can do to improve upon the basic(old) version. Everything you have done to date is visually distracting and visually inefficient. If the designs you have encumbered your customers with were translated into traffic flow floor plans for a retail or restaurant environment you would be fired on the spot. Word... otherwise, you're doing a great job. Smile!

You just made it a hundred times tougher. Cretins. Where is the star to close the email I just read but don't want to delete? Dipshits. I hate you hate you hate you.
