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.

  7. I don't have any suggestions on this but I need help and cannot find an email address or proper help in your links. I received a weird phone

    I received a weird phone call today at 5:15 pm MST, stating that my account has been linked to sending out spam, and that there were logins from Ohio and I think he said Kansas and if I had been in those areas recently. He wanted me to login to my account and do something but I was in my vehicle and told him I couldn't. He said then my account would be suspended.
    I just checked and there have not been any logins from other places recently than my current location.
    The phone number on the call was 885-225-6784.…

  9. Fix your SERVERS!

    Verizon cannot spend $10 million to upgrade your servers?? This has been an ongoing issue with Yahoo Mail for at least 2 years now.
    Bells and whistles are nice (it keeps your young programmers employed, I guess) but you need to get back to basics, or keep losing business to Google.

  10. I see you have degraded the original mail experience in order to coerce me to switch. That is an excellent customer relations idea.

  13. 50% of the time, especially with larger trailing emails, the email becomes extremely slow. Typing each character on replies is very slow.

    50% of the time, especially with larger trailing emails, the email becomes extremely slow. Typing each character on replies will have a delay of half second or 1 second each character. This is really bad. Makes the email unusable because typing each character is so slow.

  15. Fire the ******* who made the decision to FORCE customers (remember that word?!)

    Kick the decisionmaker ********** and walk him/her/they OUT THE DOOR! I'm sick of forced changes in my e-mail. Put the basic e-mail back in the old format or I'll make other decisions. A$$holes!

  16. return to old version until you can get the functionality working. PLEASE!!

    I commented below but the biggest thing I do not like is that I cannot open an attachment in the email. I have to save it to the hard drive which is time waster and resource user.

  18. Cannot receive texts from cell phones since 2/21/18, please change whatever is blocking this function. I've been doing it for many years!

    Cannot receive texts from cell phones since 2/21/18, please change whatever is blocking this function. I've been doing it for many years, but now all of a sudden it has stopped working. I can send to people like this 925**11*@mms.att.net and they are still receiving the messages, but I am not receiving their replies or original texts. I'm not a nood, I've gone over every possible setting and nothing makes any difference. Please fix whatever caused this change.

  20. add ability to tag emails, in addition to folders.

    add ability to tag emails, in addition to folders. That way users don't end up adding multiple folders to keep emails organized.
