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. THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION BUT A DEMAND!!! BEFORE, I COULD LOOK AT ALL MY EMAIL ACCOUNTS AT ONCE. I DID NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH A TWO DEVICE

    I DON'T LIKE THE "TWO DEVICE" METHOD OF SIGNING INTO EMAIL. I DON'T LIKE SWITCHING SCREENS TO GET A SECURITY CODE TO SIGN IN. MY PASSWORD ISN'T RECOGNIZED ANY MORE. YOU HAVE CHANGED EVERYTHING SO MUCH I'M CONSIDERING DROPPING YAHOO ALL TOGETHER AND GO TO ANOTHER WEB ADDRESS!!!!!

  4. I do not like the new appearance

    I don't know what happened, but yesterday my e-mail page suddenly looked different. I do not like the new appearance. It is disorienting.
    There used to be lots of different options for how to personalize your page (different colors, etc) and now there are none. Please change it back to how it was two days ago. 12/6/17

  6. I have a problem. When I open a new window the bars show up with nothing in them. They used to tell me which window was what.

    I don't know which is which as I have had 3 different ones!! The first is just a long list of emails, the old version. Another one has popped up with a split screen and I hate it. The third one has a list but all divided according to day/date. I like this one. How can I keep it?

  9. How do notify the Yahoo Team about my SPAM/Phishing emails??? I want to help your team work on the security filters!

    I think it would be a good idea for an option to send your Email Security Team (or bots) some things to look for in the emails to block them completely. So instead of seeing repeated emails in the SPAM folder, the servers could pretty much just BLOCK those SPAM/Phishing emails.

    What do you think?

  10. Give us back the old Yahoo Mail. This new version sucks! I kept bypassing the upgrade option but you forced it on me anyway.

    Stop forcing new versions on us and making things harder to find as well as things slowing down when navigating. Give me back my old email. I did not have to jump through a bunch of hoops to access all my bookmarks. The new email sucks. Change for the sake of change is a bad thing. Change that improves things is good. Stop making changes that were not needed.

  14. Disaster policy

    After Hurricane Katrina I couldn't get online for several months. Yahoo policy for non use of account for a month deleted all my saved mail and contacts heaping unnecessary loss on top of disaster loss. Now there are several disasters and millions of people facing loss they don't even know about. I hope you are considering your disaster response situation.

    Stop messing with my email. Every few months I get locked out either because yahoo claims there was "suspicious activity" or pretends not to recognize my computer, the same computer I ALWAYS sign in with. Sometimes it takes an hour or two, sometimes it takes a few days to get back in. I'm starting to think I need a non yahoo address for a backup, but if that's the case why bother with a yahoo address at all?
