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. Kiss my ***, Yahoo, I will not ******* secure my account though you seem to like to ask for it often enough.

    Good job, Yahoo! Even though you have received scores of feedback on not trying to pry phone numbers and other personal information out of people under the guise of "securing your account"...instead of removing this annoying query during the sign-in process, you just change it's appearance and plug on your merry way!! STOP ASKING ME TO SECURE MY ACCOUNT, CHANGE MY PASSWORD, GIVE MY PHONE #, ETC.ETC.ETC.ETC.

  10. I have had Yahoo Mail for several years - it is approaching time for a DIVORCE. Yahoo mail is becoming a burden to use. I am sick of it.

    Make it "User Friendly" - you are losing clients. When most companies lose clients they make improvements. Once a customer leaves - there is a 99% chance they will never return.
    BTW, what genius is distorting your business plan now - maybe you should fire them and improve your core business objectives.

  13. Mail filters would be nice!

    Your help section says to just go to Mail Settings and there the filters will be. Well...I've just tried out Basic Mail, New, and the mobile sites. Not only is there no Settings link (it's called Options, now), but apparently there's no filter function. I'm suddenly getting loads of Spam in my inbox and having filters back would be nice! Or at least update the help section!

  14. The new yahoo has been such a processor hog. Very difficult to navigate when it is not responding or loading. Going back to basic

    KISS! Full Yahoo has been and still is a processor hog/elephant. At least I can read, file, and send mail with attachments in a reasonable amount of time while in basic mail. Gone back to basics.

  18. Hate the mail! No margins, copy too wide. past messages tacked on have to many spacings. Piece of junk.

    Hate the lokk of Yahoo! Mail, and can find no way to fix it or make it more readable. No margins, copy too wide. past messages tacked on have to many spacings. Piece of junk. Be more user friendly; your customer support is non-existent, this Feedback thing is worthless and accomplishes nothing I've ever noticed.
