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.

  4. Oath's "privacy policy" amounts to "you have no privacy." You want to mine my email however you like, and sell the data to whomever you like

    Oath's "privacy policy" amounts to "you have no privacy." You want to mine my email however you like, and sell the data to whomever you like. In other words, your "privacy policy" is "you have no privacy." I have established a new email account with protonmail.com, which encrypts all files so that even they cannot read them, and are in Switzerland, so neither can the NSA. I will retain my account with you for a few months, because it takes a while to transition people, but you have just lost my business. I live under a fascist regime, you know,…

  5. drop that **** privacy agreement screen

    I have scrolled down and agreed with your new privacy situation. I will stop using Yahoo mail as my primary email if you do not stop posting it in my screen. I have other things to do than to click through that ****.And no, I will not change my computer settings for you so that I might stop seeing that screen.

  8. scare message from yahoo

    So I sign into my email and the first thing I see is a scare message: "Unexpected sign-in attempt"

    That was totally un-needed.

    Also, why is this in the wrong place? This is for any version of Yahoo Mail, including mine, the latest.

  9. April 19, 2018 I CLICKED ON A NEWS ITEM AND GOT A SEVERE VIRUS.

    i clicked on a news item and got a horrible virus and spent a half a day trying to get rid of it. It was the type that freezes up my screen and they want you to call their 800 number. I suggest you monitor your news sites so they will be safe to read.

  11. OATH ,This is unfair behaivour!

    Whrn opened Yahoo mails, OATH terms and regulation windows appeared and you can not passed over! you have to choose one of them option "yes" or "later". While reading terms and regulations or updates of Yahoo terms, as shortly you will be allowed Verizon to take your privite informations (you know , internet issues, web sites, interest, age, ***, ads whatever) and distribute within Verizon's internal circles!
    But the most important point is; if you won't to share your privacy with Verizon, there is only one option to link goes to "delete your account".

    this mean, Verizon is really behaviour…

  13. THERE ARE so many ways you could improve mail

    make it simple and make actual message larger, larger, largest. I basically hate yahoo mail but stick with because too busy right now to learn new. Put send down at bottom, eg. look at other mail sites and copy their many, many helpful features. most ridiculous & inexplicable is leaving BLANK SPACE on the right of message; WHY??? Enlarge trhedamn message!!! That's what we look at mail for, not BLANK SPACE on the right or wasted space anywhere. ARE YOU INSANE???? BLANK SPACE WHEN YOU COULD ENLARGE THE ACTUAL MESSAGE??? BLANK SPACE, YAHOO!!!??? CRAZY. You won't monetize selling BLANK SPACE!!!…
