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. Please advise why I keep getting "Inactivity timeout" too much time has passed without sending any data for document"

    If I get an attachment and try to download it I get this message over and over. Please advise how I can download my attachments without having this problem. Otherwise, Yahoo mail is pretty useless, right? And if I don't use it, I won't see your ADS! Please email me with the solution.

  2. Please leave my mail account alone. I want the old format back. You new format takes up more than a page and is silly.

    Go back to the old version of mail. I did not request a new format and am not pleased with having it foisted on me. Leave things alone and if you allow feedback actually allow us to leave it not just write it and watch it sit there not going anywhere.

  8. gmail will earn another customer. Yahoo ads are a money grab on our convenience.

    here is an idea. instead of making money just to bnombard the screen with ads, why not give a choice to view ads, or delete the moment t
    they appear? yahoo needs more money for what? gmail here I come.
    after years of enjoying yahoo, they take our preference mail and change to another "new" mail that absolutely no one likes.
    Time to put your thinking caps on yahoo

    Fix your login. Every time I have to login to my account, it says the password is invalid. I keep resetting the password, but when I try to login with it, it won't work.

  15. "********* to the Outhouse"

    You have turned the finest Email site into GARBAGE! I have had a yahoo account for 20+ years and I'm ready to dump it for Gmail. It operates so slowly I literally have to wait 30 seconds+ for it to respond to my keystrokes while it tries to load some "******** Ad".
    I know I'm only one of your "millions of customers" and you probably don't care if I leave, but I don't have any problems with Gmail or Comcast mail, so you lose. I don't have to pay for ads on the other sites for fast service.
    I don't…

    Please disable all security warnings. I don't need to 'secure my account'. I don't have a mobile phone and wouldn't give out the number even if I did (yes, there are some of us in the IT biz who don't need to be wired 24/7!) How about we just be able to get into our email without a new warning and prompt every single time we log in? How about we can use our email, well, for email, for once?
