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. Sending and attaching PDF documents

    My mail is LOCKED. It just saying "100% attaching" and it's been locked there for 3 hours... Even if I sign out of switch accounts.

    Yahoo! Mail is beginning to be more problematic than it is worth. I can't attach files larger than 25 megs. Well, the newer mail tells you this (which is buggy and slow). I run Classic because it is more seemless and less glitchy. Unfortunately, I attached a pdf over 25 megs and now it is still stuck in uploading limbo. I can't send other messages. And it is locked on both interfaces (classic and current…

  5. No Archive folder please.

    Get rid of archive folder. I don't know how it filters stuff into it. But when i go to inbox that is where i expect to find my mail. Not in archive. I don't want to forward to another email account automatically. Why do you create an account I don't have? I don't want an outlook.com account. you leave me no options. If I can't depend on you to accomplish this, I will find another provider. I got hacked and lost all my contacts. I suspect it was because of all these recent changes.

  10. Issue connecting to email address link in your Inbox/Quick reply

    Anyone else have issues connecting to a email address link in your inbox? I would say 95-99% of the time when I click on a email address in my inbox to do a quick reply it almost never works. I am never connected to the email address I want to reply. It doesn't matter what device I am on. When it does work, it should automatically open a New Tab or Window depending on how your device is setup. When a tab/window is open, the address of the link should automatically fill in the "To:" search bar. Yes, I do…

  14. I don't know why but EVERY time i try to log into my yahoo account, it tells me my password is incorrect. I have changed my password and ims

    I don't know why but EVERY time I try to log into my yahoo account, it tells me my password is incorrect. I have reset password numerous times. I have even tried to immediately log in after changing it only to be told the EXACT same thing......it's incorrect. That is very frustrating and annoying to say the least. Fixing that problem would be a great idea
