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. "UNWANTED EMAILS"

    Develop an app unsubscribing unwanted emails that have entered the
    spam or email inbox. The app should unsubscribe from anonymous emails that have no unsubscribe feature on them (website or an individual sender). An app that shuts down intruding personal emails from an unknown sender with a notification sent to a sender (source) that they will be cited for an invasion of privacy of an individual, a network, or a firm. Whether or not these sites were subscribed by Yahoo clients or not, there must be an option for Yahoo clients to shut down unwanted emails from automated mailing from…

  5. You need to show us how to delete our account, since your new "privacy" terms are terrible.

    Your claim of protecting our privacy is a fraud. We should have an easy way to delete our account, and all of our email history, without having to fly to New York for "arbitration".

  7. Ads

    You charge company's to put Ads on, then you bombard us with those Ads and then you charge us for taking the Ads off but not entirely because we still see some Ads.....you act like your doing us a favor but what you forget is that we didn't ask for the Ads to begin with! Really....NOT in my world! I'll stick with Classic and that way I don't have to deal with STUPID which is most Advertising now a days!

  8. Put my email back to the way it was this morning!!!!!! I did NOT ask for the new version and the "Basic" version now isn't what it was.

    not only did you switch my email to the new version without my consent, but when I switched back to Basic, it still isn't the way it was this morning.

  12. I believe it is now time for us all to start considering leaving Yahoo and filing a law suit against Yahoo for failing to secure our account

    I believe it is now time for us all to start considering leaving Yahoo and filing a law suit against Yahoo for failing to secure our accounts. I have had Yahoo allowing someone or something to go into my email and throw all my FBI files away. And there was no FBI files coming to me after that point. So, how did these people get into my account and erase the file, and then stopped the FBI from sending them to me from that day forward. Yahoo not only did to write me via email to let me know that…

  13. Yahoo has lost it's mind on what gets dumped into the spam folder.

    Yahoo spam is a joke. I'm constantly having to go through my spam folder to mark mail I rely on as Not Spam. It's like five year olds are developing the ****.

  19. Leaving Yahoo

    First of all, these feedback forums are ways that big companies can use to ignore users' issues and complaints and are already a sign of how little a company values its consumers.

    Second of all, Yahoo has been a sinking ship for a while now. Ever since the hacking incidents, I evacuated my important accounts (banks, medical, purchases, etc.) to a non-Yahoo email address. Now, with the nightmare merger of AOL and Verizon and the new "privacy" policy, I am evacuating the rest of my things and closing my Yahoo account. I encourage anyone else dissatisfied with the new, worse…

  20. It's not a suggestion, it's a feedback, a complain! GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!

    It's not an idea or suggestion, morons! I SELECTED FEEDBACK FROM THE DROPDOWN BOX! I have an unread email in my Inbox, so the left hand pane shows Inbox(1). I then delete the unread email by clickin the trashcan on the right. The email is removed from the pane but the folders on the left hand side still show Inbox(1). I then have to either refresh the page or click on Inbox on the left. Please make Yahoo! great again, will ya.
