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.

  4. Believe it or not there are people like myself who do not have and do not want a mobile device so now we can't get an additional mailbox.

    Allow people to open an account or an additional mailbox with just a secondary email for contacting us like it used to be. Change is not always an improvement. If I did have a cell phone I would not give you the number in any case.

  6. Allow similar passwords when changing them.

    You annoy us with e-mail because YOU, Yahoo!, compromised our data. (Or was that AT&T or whatever company ownes you this week?) So, when I voluntarily go in to make a change THAT I CAN REMEMBER to my e-mail password, you reject it because it's too similar, even if it's different, to the one I had previously...you know, the one that was secure for almost TWENTY YEARS until you messed me up. You're sending me messages you're stopping login attempts. Good. If someone is trying to log in, and it's not me, and it's from a device I wouldn't use,…

    Whenever I have logged out and the following day, log into yahoo mail. I check my account log and usually I see I am still logged in from several active entries. Is this common or do I have issues?

  9. Blocking email addresses

    It would be great if I could block email addresses from spammers without having to put in the entire address for instance, requiring only
    @(domain).(com)(net)(org) etc. to be entered.

  16. Remedy for being locked out

    Please make the "secret questions" method for accessing a locked-out account available to ALL Yahoo accounts -- not merely some. On my current trip to Istanbul from the U.S., I was initially locked out of my four Yahoo accounts. One account eventually allowed access by answerıng two secret questions. The other three accounts continue denying access by cross-referencing to each other . . . and by NOT asking the secret questions attached to those accounts. Talk about a "Catch 22." Any help overcoming this problem will be greatly appreciated. Muchas gracias.

    Fix the ability to include attachments. You are doing a great disservice to your users, apparently a serious problem for some time.
