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. Get rid of all the spam it is deleated unread in my account.

    Simply block spam. It is unopened and deleted giving the spammer no benefit and wasting valuable bandwith.

  4. l didn't agree to be a beta tester. Just give me the old mail!

    Apparently I am being routed to the new "improved" email. Initially I get a screen with no email at all. Then after about 20 seconds, it asks if the process is too slow and offers the option to use basic mail. I select that and, AT LAST, I can proceed.

  9. After marking incoming email as SPAM, why doesn't Yahoo send a DAEMON message back to the sender to drop you from their distribution???

    After marking incoming email as SPAM, why doesn't Yahoo send a DAEMON message back to the sender to drop you from their distribution???

    Is it because there is some money in it for Yahoo? Are they encouraging Spammers to sell our email addresses to other spammers?

    After getting an unwanted email from a spammer and you go to the site to ask to be removed from their distribution, then you receive dozens more of the same emails from different senders.

    Is Yahoo trying to be the supreme spammer???

  13. if I click spam and deleted them,why do the same spam mail reappear days later.

    if I deleted spam,it should mean,never see come thru my email "permantely"..I'm tired of receiving "exoctic/****** adv "spams". I guess I must contact CNN/MSBC/.Yahoo needs some fine tunning in regards to "PREFERENCES".

  15. accept the fact new mail is terrible and be brave enough to accept direct communication instead of "B.S. Forum"

    Take direct communication instead of B.S. Forum on new mail. It's terrible. Stop making me reload basic mail every day. Don't improve basic. It's fine as it is.

  19. Stop trying to force me in to using an email format that doesn't work and I don't need. I do not need pretty pictures and streaming videos.

    I do not want ned or like flashy pretty OOOOOHHHH LOOOOKIE email. I do not have a smart phone and I would never use it to check email if I did. You are useing extortion to try to make me switch by making my email page take F O R E V E R to load and then tell me to load basic if it is too slow. Gmail is looking better and better all the time and I Hate Gmail.
