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. Enlarge the print and check boxes and quit sending us back to inbox after deleting a message

    Your print is too small. Every time I delete a message that I have read I am sent to the inbox. Really frustrating. Delete button and other buttons are too hard to read and find. Take back to the way it used to be or give us the option to do so.

  6. If you would just go back to the old colors and letter styles, maybe the new version would be okay!

    If you would just go back to the old colors and letter style then the new version might be acceptable to us! The new colors are hard to pick up and tend to look like neon colors which takes longer to use. It all blends together.

  9. Restore the original service immediately and fire the ******* who ****** this up.

    Restore the original service immediately! I have an email account for a website on Yahoo! finance that I can no longer get to because you people ****** this service up! If I am loosing business because of this *****, you will be facing a class action lawsuit shortly. Find the **** who ****** this up and fire them immediately before they put you out of business.

  16. Old Version

    Don't even bother. There is absolutely nothing you or anyone else can do to improve upon the basic(old) version. Everything you have done to date is visually distracting and visually inefficient. If the designs you have encumbered your customers with were translated into traffic flow floor plans for a retail or restaurant environment you would be fired on the spot. Word... otherwise, you're doing a great job. Smile!

  18. Stop switching me to the new version without my permission

    Do not automatically change my old version to the new version. And do not change it after I have switched it back to the old version over 40 times. Also, your details on how to keep my old version from switching to the new version are not effective. I do not have the drop down menu items that you say that I need to have in order to make the old version permanent.
