← Yahoo Feedback


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. HORRIBLE, ONLY SITE AMONG THE 15 I VISIT DAILY IN MY WORK THAT FREEZES UP. YOU'RE NO GOOD TO ME IF I CAN'T ACCESS MY MAIL. CLEAN IT UP

    HORRIBLE SITE NOW. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT FREEZES UP EVERY TIME I TRY TO ACCESS MY MAIL. NO, NOT MY COMPUTER OR BROWSER (I USE 3) OR MY PROVIDER. AND YES, I USE THE BASIC FORM WITHOUT ADS. I HAVE NO TROUBLE WITH THE OTHER 15 SITES I REGULARLY VISIT. YAHOO IS THE ONLY ONE THAT FREEZES NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT SO IT'S NOT THE LOAD. YOU JUST HAVE A ****** SITE, AND WHEN I HAVE A SPAN OF 8 OR 10 HOURS FREE I'M GOING TO TRANSFER THE REST OF MY EMAIL TO…

  3. A MOBILE NUMBER SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED

    A mobile number shouldn't be required to create an account. i can't even create a backup e-mail address without it.
    Why would i give my mobile number even if i had one especially when yahoo continues making claims of a security breech.

  4. Add a switch so we can see our password, if we choose to

    At my office, we have a switch we can throw if we want to make our password visible to us. It is NOT a problem, since my logging in to my computer in the morning is when I am alone in my office. No one else is going to see my password. If I have to log in to a computer which is not mine, I simply do not throw the switch to make my password visible.

    This has cut down on the number of 'password incorrect' events (according to our IT) by 72%. Believe it or not, I'm smart…

  9. I'm not using it because I need a new email account. I'm using it because you morons dropped the passwords off my REAL accounts.

    Put the default passwords that I had assigned to royslady51a and alterationalteraccount and MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. I don't need your insistence that I constantly change my passwords and I DEFINITELY don't need you ******** locking my accounts because I don't use them as often as you think I should. There is absolutely no excuses for this kind of ****.

    I DO NOT have a mobile device of ANY kind. My other email I haven't accessed in years. If I change internet provider I lose THAT account.
    If my Yahoo account is ever hacked in the future...Wouldn't all this info you're collecting compromise those too?
    PLEASE just give me an 'opt out' choice in any changes to my account!
    AND if ALL this is about "SECURITY"?...Why have a " Stay Logged In" feature? At least have THAT option unchecked instead of checked automatically!
    My Yahoo 'experience' is getting to be like a NIGHTMARE written by a deranged Dr. Suess.

  15. I don't mind ads until they take up part of message and I can't read my it!

    I told you to cut back on the size of the ad. I know you must have them but if they block the email they are too big!
    Now I have another problem with the ads; they are coming on over the area I am suppose to have to get to the next idem.
    I don't think you will change or even answer; so I must lost yahoo in favor of another service.
