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.

  6. 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,

  9. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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! This site is constantly dropping the ball when it comes to email. First it was the updated email that would not work, but I resolved that issue by returning to basic on my own.…

  14. 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.

  16. Let me forward emails intact. Forwarding email sucks REALLY big ones with Yahoo Mail!!!

    Let us forward emails intact. Quit ripping them apart when trying to forward emails. Why do I even have to post this? How stupid can Yahoo get when they "upgrade" (up your grade) your system?

  18. The "Stay Signed In" checkbox is always checked by default. How to make it unchecked by default for my yahoo account ? Security issue here !

    The "Stay Signed In" checkbox is always checked by default. How to make it unchecked by default for my yahoo account ? Security issue here ! Especially when I miss on unchecking it on a public computer.
    I believe designers @ Yahoo must have thought of providing a mechanism to change this default setting for a given account !!!
