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. 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!!!

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

  13. What have you people done? I was duped into believing the Key thing was an improvement. Now I can't access my mails. Please help recover.

    I was asked to transfer to a key thing, which I did. Now I can't even access my mails from my desktop and other gadgets. It used to be synchronized. Everything was going fine.

    I tried following the instructions you gave. Ok, so maybe, I am too dumb and could not follow. But tell me, is it just me? I am seeing many others expressing the same discontent. I have been on this email address ever since. Sure, I can switch to another provider. It will be burdensome for me, I will need to either advise or manually change my…

So i hovered over the names, then get this message: "your account data may be out of sync. Refresh the page to see your account.

    People - DON'T. Change your password immediately. Not sure if this affects your security questions too! It may not…
