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.

  2. Return to previous email setup. It was fast and simple to use! It's so stupid now to have to play games to get the inbox to open, too compli

    PLEASE return to the old email, it was so easy to use and now it's like taking a test to even find out how to open it. And what's with this "Basic" ****. Just give us the same good thing we get on MSN. Good service!

  5. Disaster policy

    After Hurricane Katrina I couldn't get online for several months. Yahoo policy for non use of account for a month deleted all my saved mail and contacts heaping unnecessary loss on top of disaster loss. Now there are several disasters and millions of people facing loss they don't even know about. I hope you are considering your disaster response situation.

  6. As a senior who gets hundreds of emails, I am upset that your "Next" and "Previous" features no longer to work as they did when deleting

    Fix your NEXT and DELETE features,. While trying to delete hundreds of unwanted emails the page goes blank and you have to start over. It takes HOURS. It sucks!!!!!

  7. yahoo blocked email from one site. I want emails from this site, site is not in spam.

    Yahoo blocked email from one site I want to receive email from. It is not in spam. It is an investment site called Seeking Alfa. I received emails from there daily with tips on investing. I want to get emails from this site. It is not in my spam folder. Yahoo has blocked this site giving me no way to correct it. It is a necessary education site that Yahoo just decided to block. What can I do so I can receive emails from this site other than changing my email to google?

  19. what happened to our mail? It automatically send to all contacts and ask for money?

    Hello,

    I'm sorry to bother you with this but it is a bad time for me . I had to make a sudden trip to Philippines due to some urgent matters to help my sick sister, she was diagnosed with (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) a type of Blood Cancer and had been undergoing treatment lately. The news of her illness arrived to me as an emergency.

  20. I used to be able to see 50 emails on home screen now you changed it to 25, why?

    I used to be able to pick if I wanted to see 200, 100, 50 or 25 emails on my home screen. Now you changed it to 25. It's now takes me all day to delete emails since I now can only delete 25 at a time. Bring back the option to let me pick how many emails I want to see at a time.
