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. Fire the ******* who made the decision to FORCE customers (remember that word?!)

    Kick the decisionmaker ********** and walk him/her/they OUT THE DOOR! I'm sick of forced changes in my e-mail. Put the basic e-mail back in the old format or I'll make other decisions. A$$holes!

  3. return to old version until you can get the functionality working. PLEASE!!

    I commented below but the biggest thing I do not like is that I cannot open an attachment in the email. I have to save it to the hard drive which is time waster and resource user.

  5. Cannot receive texts from cell phones since 2/21/18, please change whatever is blocking this function. I've been doing it for many years!

    Cannot receive texts from cell phones since 2/21/18, please change whatever is blocking this function. I've been doing it for many years, but now all of a sudden it has stopped working. I can send to people like this 925**11*@mms.att.net and they are still receiving the messages, but I am not receiving their replies or original texts. I'm not a nood, I've gone over every possible setting and nothing makes any difference. Please fix whatever caused this change.

  11. I do not like the new appearance, it really depressing...moreover, I do not have settings. Please, I want to go back to the classic mail .

    Go back to the original classic email with the setting where you can personalize your page and have some control. If this change continues, I will be switching to gmail,

  14. I like the old basic version. Prefer my own password to sign in. also, only want email from my list of contacts

    Password and sign in is better.
    I do not like receiving emails from advertisers. I only want emails from people and companies I have put into my contact list.
    It is too time consuming to weed all the junk mail out.

  17. Yahoo email.

    Yahoo e-mail SUCKS today. It's very, VERY slow. It shuts down. It throws me off when I'm in the middle of writing an e-mail. It's very frustrating. I wish I could contact a representative to find out why and how to fix it.

  18. When I needed to send an important email, I was VERY disappointed with Yahoo.

    I am completely disappointed with Yahoo Mail. I had to send a very important email and Yahoo completely failed me. Only AFTER the project was complete did Yahoo finally decide it wanted to work. This was the middle of the day and I have not had any other issues other than when you all had your security breach. I understand why people have left in droves!

  19. FIX YOUR SERVERS

    I lost an email I was composing for 20 minutes, because "Yahoo will be right back...". Every other site was loading in 4-5 seconds.

    You expect to be taken seriously as an email provider/platform? Gmail has never failed to send an email in 2 seconds.
