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. Please fire whoever keep changing the way we log into our email account.

    If it is not broken, DON'T FIX IT!!!! Change the way we sign-on to view the email account without having to see the same front page news all over again. If I want to view any updated news, I would stay on the page to read it. But when I want to view my emails, then direct me into my emails without showing the current news over again. It's pointless.

  7. I clcik to sign into my email and now you send me to Yahoo news? No, that's not what I am attempting to do.

    When I sign into my email account like the past 10 years now I go to a different Yahoo page.
    That's not what I am trying to do or care about yet now I am forced to click on the email icon.
    Just one more step and I don't even bother looking at a single piece of text.

    Why not give people the OPTION instead of forcing us to do things.

    Also, NO I don't want to change to the new look with advertisements.
    And NO, stop bugging me for alternate emails and telephone numbers with the threat of lock…

  8. I continue to get messages from Yahoo about another device that i use for my Yahoo mail. I don't use any other devices besides my laptop!

    Stop making it so difficult to access our emails. Stop changing that procedure. After designating new passwords, it shouldn't be such a chore to get into our emails. Yahoo is becoming a chore to use. I like its various features and don't want to cancel my account.

  16. Keep your word and send recovery code to my gmail like you said you would

    I have no printer, so tried to sign in on my daughter's printer in next room to print& it won't let me--says it will send recovery code to my gmail but it NEVER does. Why does it never send it? All I get is message from gmail that someone is trying to get into my yahoo account. Does me no good--why don't you keep your word and send recovery code. Don't tell me to add a mobile phone # as I have no mobile phone.

  17. Hallo!

    I've tried to write my feedback to you, but somehow it did not work out - so I am writing here in the hope that technical staff can see this.

    I usually check and send my e-mails from my home computer. It must have a permanent or dynamic IP or whatever you use to see my location.
    Today I needed to send an e-mail and I used my smartphone for this. The system did not let me! The message was something like - "it's not your usual location - try from another device".
    So, my question is: Why the ****…

  18. 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.
