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.

  1. Update your browser list

    "Yahoo recommends you upgrade your browser to enjoy all the features in the new Yahoo Mail."

    Do you realize that there are more than 3 browsers? Vivaldi (Chrome-based), Pale Moon (Mozilla-based)… In any case, add "not interested" checkbox to that warning or just stop showing it every time mailbox is loaded.

  2. I agree with #!. I HATE this stupid version of Yahoo mail. I can't change the font and forwarding anything with pics is useless. It sucks

    This whole new Yahoo SUCKS. Can't change fonts on email. Can't forward anything with a picture because it doesn't show up. Why do you guys keep screwing up something that works? At least we could go back to the old version before, but now we're stuck. I'm getting ready to move to a different email provider because I get ****** off every time I do anything on here now.

  5. I used to be able to see 50 emails on home screen now you changed it to 25, why?

    I used to be able to pick if I wanted to see 200, 100, 50 or 25 emails on my home screen. Now you changed it to 25. It's now takes me all day to delete emails since I now can only delete 25 at a time. Bring back the option to let me pick how many emails I want to see at a time.

  7. I have never in my life received as much spam as I have over the last 2 months? What's going on. I do not search does companies.

    Spam, over 100 spams in a day. Yet, important emails also go to spam. So I have to waste my time looking through spam so I don't delete or put them on unroll me list which by the way doesn't work. Every day important emails go to my spam. What's up Yahoo? This is so annoying to say the least.

  9. I switched back to basic because the new version of mail isn't working correctly, won't let you delete messages, go to compose, move message

    I switched back to basic because the new version of mail isn't working correctly, won't let you delete messages, go to compose, move message nothing is working right and have to close page and reopen just to read messages. Need to go back to Classic Mail as nothing works right on the new version of Mail so had to go back to basic just to get it to work!!!

  11. Once you have a "BLOCKED ADDRESS", then it should be just that, BLOCKED. I have blocked 20 addresses and I am still getting mail from them.

    If you have a "BLOCKED ADDRESS" then it should be blocked. I have added 20 email addresses into the BLOCKED ADDRESSES and I am still getting email from the same blocked addresses. WTF Yahoo.

  12. Fix the ******* mail instead of breaking everything you own!

    I had to switch to "classic" style because all the **** ads and trash you pile into the mail page bloats the ****** till it can't fit through a hanger. And then the mail randomly switches itself back to "new" style for a couple days before going back to what I actually set it to. The same with everything else owned by yahoo, it gets bloated, useless **** crammed in that no one ever uses and causes everything to fall apart, but instead of fixing the initial problem and getting rid of the bloat, you add more to it while…

  14. I want my contacts back. Your changes are negatives. I hate your new version. Why do you think this is what we want? Get real.

    Why do you make changes without thinking? If it ain't broken don't fix it. I lost my entire contact list and there is no option to fix on the basic site because your changes are messing it up. Stop trying to make something people DONT want!

  15. Switch it back to the Yahoo Classic mail. The new version is the worst one available on the web...

    The functionality is non-existent. You have to click through every thing. Nothing is intuitive or where you expect it to be. There are Ads below the buttons, which makes no sense at all. Things take forever to load, upload, and attach. You have a dumb pop-up confirmation window that you have to click through after sending the message (USELESS! Give me a pop-up if it is NOT successful.) It looks like *, functions like *, and makes no sense at all how the page, button, and things are organized. All that being said, the Basic version is leaps…

  17. Font is way TOO SMALL!! Fix immediately or we will go to GMAIL!!

    Stop switching our email format! There is NO "settings" icon in the upper right hand corner so I CANNOT switch back! This email account is used for business and we CANNOT READ OUR EMAILS because the font is microscopic!!!!
