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.

  3. I need the Classic mail back! The new one & the basic one stink! I can't read the font. It is so small I'm getting a headache !

    The basic has no color control and the screen is hurting my eyes. Between that and the extremely small font, I have a headache just trying to read my emails! You really need to fix this.

  16. Restore the original service immediately and fire the ******* who ****** this up.

    Restore the original service immediately! I have an email account for a website on Yahoo! finance that I can no longer get to because you people ****** this service up! If I am loosing business because of this *****, you will be facing a class action lawsuit shortly. Find the **** who ****** this up and fire them immediately before they put you out of business.

  19. Font is way TOO SMALL!! Fix immediately or we will go to GMAIL!!

    Stop switching our email format! There is NO "settings" icon in the upper right hand corner so I CANNOT switch back! This email account is used for business and we CANNOT READ OUR EMAILS because the font is microscopic!!!!
