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. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Bring Back Mail BLOCKING

    I am hit every day with SPAM. I mark it as SPAM and that does no good. The "Unsubscribe" links don't work, either. So, how can I stop receiving SPAM from this annoying website? BLOCKING would be helpful since nothing else works.

  5. Let me forward emails intact. Forwarding email sucks REALLY big ones with Yahoo Mail!!!

    Let us forward emails intact. Quit ripping them apart when trying to forward emails. Why do I even have to post this? How stupid can Yahoo get when they "upgrade" (up your grade) your system?

  11. How do notify the Yahoo Team about my SPAM/Phishing emails??? I want to help your team work on the security filters!

    I think it would be a good idea for an option to send your Email Security Team (or bots) some things to look for in the emails to block them completely. So instead of seeing repeated emails in the SPAM folder, the servers could pretty much just BLOCK those SPAM/Phishing emails.

    What do you think?

  12. Your IT people who are user unfriendly n out of touch with consumer needs need to go.

    Leave consumers the option without forcing and manipulating them into using your very user unfriendly new version,its missing features that would help Consumers. I want the OLD VERSION BACK. Your IT people who left out the BLOCK MAIL Option should be looking for another job.
    You most likely will be facing some HEAT from the FEDS becz consumers are fed up with your unfair business practices.

  13. I want to block incoming mails by simple pattern on subject and body like "bla bla sexting", "personal loan", "viagra".

    I want to block incoming mails by simple pattern on subject and body like "bla bla sexting", "personal loan", "viagra". Because the **** spammers are changing their domain continuously, and the "BIG YAHOO" DO NOTHING! I hate gmail too, but they have much less annoying "feature" like "new mail", "accounc veryfication", unblockable spams, and so on.

  16. mail filters?

    First of all, I take umbrage at Yahoo's suggestion that the browser I choose to use is not the most current available for my operating system.

    Because I choose Open Source software over corporately owned software, you are making a conscious decision to deny me the benefits of your 'new and improved' Yahoo email web UI. On what basis to you take it upon yourselves to tell ANYBODY what software they shall or shall not use? That is the height of hubris by any reasonable person's standards.

    On the slim chance that an honest-to-God human being reads this, I challenge…
