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.

  5. 2nd verification step working for phone (Android version ) but not for main website

    When I change my password and sign back in to Yahoo....my phone version (Android) asks for 2nd verification ( which I signed up for ) and a verfication code is texted to my phone. This is supposed to happen when I sign back in ON THE MAIN WEBSITE BUT IT DOES NOT... i GET NO MESSAGE ASKING FOR 2ND VERIFICATION CODED TO BE SENT TO MY PHONE....PLEASE FIX....THIS IS MAJOR.... I HAVE "BASIC " SETTINGS ON MY MAIN WEBSITE VERSION, BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER TO YAHOO SINCE YAHOO DOESN'T "HONOR" OR HOLD THE BASIC SETTINGS ANYWAY....WHICH IS ANOTHER…

    On March 4, 2017, 16 draft files suddenly and unexpectedly disappeared from my drafts folder. I requested restoration of lost e-mails, and several intentionally deleted e-mails reappeared in my trash folder, but the drafts did not return, and I need them. Can anyone help?

  8. Seems like latley Mail crashes and won't open a lot. Maybe I should switch to g-mail

    Get off your dead *** and fix the problems with mail not opening and not responding. Maybe I should switch everything to gmail as people I know that have it say they don't have this problem

  13. Let me log into my account with my password! I can go via mail.yahoo.com, but a straight login with correct password actually fails!

    Let me log into my account with my password! I can go via mail.yahoo.com, but a straight login with correct password actually fails! Intermingling these things...account and e-mail...and do it so badly, is a FAIL! Please, Yahoo!, stop monkeying with things. Go back on all counts to what worked. Respect my privacy instead of demanding access to all sorts of things so you get to be the privileged gatekeeper...especially after publishing and compromising so much of our personal data already. Trust us. Especially on an account like mine that's about 20 years old. The problems with passwords have never been…

  16. Yahoo still has security problems. yahoo.coperation1006@xtra.co.nz is sending me phishing email and you can't detect it? Shame on you. Fix!

    Fix your email security problem. I got a phishing email today from yahoo.coperation1006@xtra.co.nz saying my account will be terminated unless I click on a link in the email. Yeah, right. How is it that after all your security problems you still can't detect an obviously fake email like this? You need to invest more in keeping your customers secure or they will leave.

  20. Yahoo! should be embarrassed. I had to change to the basic email settings because the no part of the new settings are not functioning right?

    Yahoo! you should be embarrassed. I had to change to the basic email settings because the no part of the new settings are not functioning right? In addition, how about adding a option to turn off the videos that appear all sections of the users email accounts. They annoying.
