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 have other things to do than to click through that ****.And no, I will not change my computer settings for you so that I might stop seeing that screen.

  9. if I click spam and deleted them,why do the same spam mail reappear days later.

    if I deleted spam,it should mean,never see come thru my email "permantely"..I'm tired of receiving "exoctic/****** adv "spams". I guess I must contact CNN/MSBC/.Yahoo needs some fine tunning in regards to "PREFERENCES".

  10. Yahoo mail just simply sucks. You people have no idea what you are doing. Hire some people from Google and fire the ones you have now.

    Stop doing upgrades and just simply fix the one you have. The "upgrades" always SUCK and break things. Y'all don't have a clue what you are doing. Don't upgrade this **** just because you can.

  11. The basic version is better

    I use the basic version of Yahoo Mail (and not the "newest" version) for two reasons. 1. The list of my folders (and I have many) is more readable in the basic version. Less text cut off. And 2. When I have briefly used the "newest" version I had loads of pop-ups telling me about things I did want to know. So Basic is better.

  12. I do not like the new appearance

    I don't know what happened, but yesterday my e-mail page suddenly looked different. I do not like the new appearance. It is disorienting.
    There used to be lots of different options for how to personalize your page (different colors, etc) and now there are none. Please change it back to how it was two days ago. 12/6/17

  14. Hello again,dear Yahoo! Do you so kind to disable Yahoo Account Key?

    This new type of Account Key is not helping me.I wish to use my old type of account with password. I tried to disable the Yahoo Account Key but you don`t let me this option. I see a lot of Yahoo costumers complaining about this Account Key and you continue with this.How do you help us? Annoying you? In my case,I expect the return to the old formula. Thank you!

  17. Forcing password changes

    Please STOP with the forcing of password changes!! It is actually not as safe for me to have to remember 900 different passwords!! This is absolutely ridiculous, and I will consider changing to a different avenue for my email needs, if I am continually forced to make changes. I cannot count how many times and troubles I have had, while simply trying to access my email accout. STOP IT!!!

  18. Fix browser recognition

    Yahoo Mail is not recognizing Vivaldi, a browser built on the Blink rendering engine, which is also used in Google Chrome. I strongly suspect Vivaldi can render Yahoo Mail just fine, and I'm not going to "upgrade" to one of the big three browsers just for Yahoo Mail.

  20. stop trying to force us to change our passwords, my account was over 14 years old, and now the new password i may not be able to remember!

    pull your heads out of your a55es, stop forcing people to change their passwords to meet your WANTS, as your WANTS do NOT meet with what we NEED! i was raised to take care of what is NEEDED first and what is WANTED can always come later.
