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.

  3. Provide a mechanism to report system failures.

    POP service has been unavailable for a week with an error message: The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded: Server error - Please try again later. I've deleted everything, so the stat is zero. Fails on multiple email clients. If it was really a server error, someone at Yahoo should have seen it. Is Yahoo dropping POP service on free accounts without announcing it?

  9. Remove the stupid "prove I'm not a robot" bit during login process!!

    How about you take off the ******* annoying "prove I'm not a robot" bit during the login process. This is really annoying as being pulled across carpet tacks naked and doesn't accomplish anything. I expect, as with most things, that Yahoo will demonstrate that it is tonedeaf and will not change this, however.

  11. Default font letterspacing is too tight

    Are you using Foundation Sans Condensed? If so, you should add some more letterspacing (tracking) to it -- say 10/1000 of an em -- and that would help your users' legibility issues tremendously. Going condensed allows more wordage, however, legibility is suffering. And to ask that users increase their browsers' font size by hitting "command+" is not a solution. Poor typography design is not the users' problem; it's a UI designer's job.

  16. I need the Classic mail back! The new one & the basic one stink! I can't read the font. It is so small I'm getting a headache !

    The basic has no color control and the screen is hurting my eyes. Between that and the extremely small font, I have a headache just trying to read my emails! You really need to fix this.
