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.

  1. stop trying to force us to change our passwords, my account was over 14 years old, and now the new password i may not be able to remember!

    pull your heads out of your a55es, stop forcing people to change their passwords to meet your WANTS, as your WANTS do NOT meet with what we NEED! i was raised to take care of what is NEEDED first and what is WANTED can always come later.

  5. l would like to change my current password, my colleagues can open my PC and read my emails

    my idea is that the yahoo.com site should be private to each user, no one must be able to open other PC's to view other people's mail.
    This is very, very disturbing - when l open to read my mail, does not aske for password, l just click on my name and mail, the entire emails
    are shown, which is very wrong, - Please rectify this.

  8. Update your browser list

    "Yahoo recommends you upgrade your browser to enjoy all the features in the new Yahoo Mail."

    Do you realize that there are more than 3 browsers? Vivaldi (Chrome-based), Pale Moon (Mozilla-based)… In any case, add "not interested" checkbox to that warning or just stop showing it every time mailbox is loaded.

  19. When using Ctrl P to print an email the add is included on the right side and over the right side of the email. WHY?

    Either place the ads at the top of the page and when using Ctrl P do not include the add at the right side of the page.
