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. Make it quick!

    I clicked on Feedback button, and now I'm being asked to give suggestions for improvement! What nonsense is this? For heaven's sake open your eyes and mind. Have you ever tried to use this horrible mail service yourself? I have to wait for EONS after clicking the compose button for the email composing window to appear. Same is is the case with every other operation such as moving the mail to another folder, for instance. And all the time I have to wait my lifetime for that message 'waiting for s.yimg' and other of the same nature. ****, is the…

  5. SMTP Logins constantly fail with Thunderbird

    Dear supporters, i face issues every now and then (very frequent actually) sending emails via Thunderbird on OSX, while receiving emails in the same session never fails. Error message always indicate login issues. But logging in to web UI and sending from there then always succeeds. Is there anything i can do about it via my configuration?
    Would be terrific!

  9. Your Key sign in feature sucks

    I was asked to transfer to a key thing, which I did. Now I can't even access my mails from my desktop and other gadgets. It used to be synchronized. Everything was going fine.

    I tried following the instructions you gave. Ok, so maybe, I am too dumb and could not follow. But tell me, is it just me? I am seeing many others expressing the same discontent. I have been on this email address ever since. Sure, I can switch to another provider. It will be burdensome for me, I will need to either advise or manually change my…

  14. My email messages keep getting checked randomly even though I am not doing that. I'm afraid something will get deleted by mistake.

  19. Yahoo is no longer user friendly

    You have upgraded the email system so much that it is no longer user friendly. Back off the upgrading, remove the last upgrade and give me my email back. I have switched back to basic because this new system is too difficult to maneuver. The upgrades you are doing SUCK! and it just looks like someone is upgrading **** to keep their job.
