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.

    I don't know why but EVERY time I try to log into my yahoo account, it tells me my password is incorrect. I have reset password numerous times. I have even tried to immediately log in after changing it only to be told the EXACT same thing......it's incorrect. That is very frustrating and annoying to say the least. Fixing that problem would be a great idea

  5. Email

    I have received 2 notifications that email account under the penname "onehotflame@yahoo.com" is to be deactivated in one hour after opening the email. I only use this to talk to people or answer other ads. If it is to be deactivated for some reason or has been hacked then maybe I need to seek legal advice because I have had this account since the mid 90's. Let me know where I stand on this isswue!

  6. You need to show us how to delete our account, since your new "privacy" terms are terrible.

    Your claim of protecting our privacy is a fraud. We should have an easy way to delete our account, and all of our email history, without having to fly to New York for "arbitration".

  10. OATH ,This is unfair behaivour!

    Whrn opened Yahoo mails, OATH terms and regulation windows appeared and you can not passed over! you have to choose one of them option "yes" or "later". While reading terms and regulations or updates of Yahoo terms, as shortly you will be allowed Verizon to take your privite informations (you know , internet issues, web sites, interest, age, ***, ads whatever) and distribute within Verizon's internal circles!
    But the most important point is; if you won't to share your privacy with Verizon, there is only one option to link goes to "delete your account".

    this mean, Verizon is really behaviour…

  11. Are u deliberately dnloading ads to force upgrading? Most ppl enjoy basic...pls fix your ads!!

    If it's NOT broke....stop trying to fix it! Elderly ppl like myself enjoy simplicity. Those who want the change will get it, but Classic IS classic and does what I need

  13. The quantity of Yahoo stock I own is inversely proportional to the amount of spam that gets through the filters.

    Bring back the previous form of spam filtering. It worked much better than the current version.

  15. I like the old basic version. Prefer my own password to sign in. also, only want email from my list of contacts

    Password and sign in is better.
    I do not like receiving emails from advertisers. I only want emails from people and companies I have put into my contact list.
    It is too time consuming to weed all the junk mail out.

  19. Stop trying to force me in to using an email format that doesn't work and I don't need. I do not need pretty pictures and streaming videos.

    I do not want ned or like flashy pretty OOOOOHHHH LOOOOKIE email. I do not have a smart phone and I would never use it to check email if I did. You are useing extortion to try to make me switch by making my email page take F O R E V E R to load and then tell me to load basic if it is too slow. Gmail is looking better and better all the time and I Hate Gmail.

  20. Some sickos started sending about 1,000 pornographic emails weekly. I want to be able to block these without opening them.

    I want to block emails without having to open them. Also, investigations need to be done when offensive spam such as *********** is bombarded into one's email account.
