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.

  2. I don't have any suggestions, but I think some hackers got my yahoo key code somehow, because I see a little red dot sometimes at top email.

    I also got a message text on my cell phone that my yahoo key code was changed, I did not change it, so don't you have to request the change?

    I resent having an ad at the top of my email list. Very annoying. I should have the option to delete it.

  6. Whyi s my email address shohwing on the screen when I enter yahoo mail? whyd o I have to add an account to use a different account?

    I recently changed the password on my email account. I never keep my self signed in, yet when I open the email tab on Yahoo it opens to this one account that I can click on or add a new account. I prefer the old screen where I have to enter the address then password. How can I go back to that screen and get rid of what I feel is a breech on my privacy?

  11. For the last one week, my Password does not work. I have to start from "Forgot my Password". Look into this issue.

    It is good idea that we should change our password frequently. But in my case for the last one week I have to start from "Forgot my password" and have to sign in new password every time. This was not happening earlier. Is there any change in our policy? Is this happening with others also or with me only? I would like to have your views and how I can resolve this issue.

  13. Please disable all security warnings. I don't need to 'secure my account'. I don't have a mobile phone and wouldn't give out the number even

    Please disable all security warnings. I don't need to 'secure my account'. I don't have a mobile phone and wouldn't give out the number even if I did (yes, there are some of us in the IT biz who don't need to be wired 24/7!) How about we just be able to get into our email without a new warning and prompt every single time we log in? How about we can use our email, well, for email, for once?

    Also, how about some support at Yahoo rather than simply being referred to FAQs (not all of us are idiots;…

  14. It is unacceptable for you to steal 1/3 of my screen for ads. Ever.

    It is unacceptable for you to steal 1/3 of my screen for ads. Ever. I am tired of perpetually being pushed to tolerate more and more. If the future of Yahoo Mail is primarily about ads and not email, I am out of here... There are numerous other options.

  16. My 2 email accounts stopped working a month ago. Can't access them. need help but cannot contact U

    neither of my email accounts work - they stopped a month ago. I can occasionally get in one or the other but when I click the mail icon, the sign up window does not appear and when it does sometimes, after I type in my account name, sometimes it will not bring up the password screen and if I am able to put in my password, it will just sit there and the little circle goes round and round and it will not let me into my mail. Need help. Please call at 817-581-6024. Thank you

  19. Believe it or not there are people like myself who do not have and do not want a mobile device so now we can't get an additional mailbox.

    Allow people to open an account or an additional mailbox with just a secondary email for contacting us like it used to be. Change is not always an improvement. If I did have a cell phone I would not give you the number in any case.

  20. Your Key sign in feature sucks

    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…
