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. My mobile app is asking for a fingerprint, PIN or pattern. I have not set up any of those.

    My mobile app wants a PIN pattern or fingerprint. I have not set those up. It will not allow me to proceed. I NEED MY EMAIL ON MY PHONE. I tried deleting it and re downloading. Same ****.

  3. Hate the mail! No margins, copy too wide. past messages tacked on have to many spacings. Piece of junk.

    Hate the lokk of Yahoo! Mail, and can find no way to fix it or make it more readable. No margins, copy too wide. past messages tacked on have to many spacings. Piece of junk. Be more user friendly; your customer support is non-existent, this Feedback thing is worthless and accomplishes nothing I've ever noticed.

  4. I'm not using it because I need a new email account. I'm using it because you morons dropped the passwords off my REAL accounts.

    Put the default passwords that I had assigned to royslady51a and alterationalteraccount and MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. I don't need your insistence that I constantly change my passwords and I DEFINITELY don't need you ******** locking my accounts because I don't use them as often as you think I should. There is absolutely no excuses for this kind of ****.

  8. Implement two factor authentication that does not depends on SMS.

    Use generic 2FA like github or google authenticator. It works on any mobile device that has WiFi and is not dependent on unreliable, expensive cellular service. FreeOTP authenticator is available on iTunes and Google Play. I use it for a dozen of different services. I do not want to add complexity and install an special app for Yahoo, nor do I want the expense of owning a cell phone when a WiFi-only device is sufficient for my need

  9. Two good things: one click spam and one click signify. The worst thing about the newest version: the addresses are too long - can't put abbr

    Go back to the previous version. Newest is good with one-click spam and one-click sign off. BUT, can't fit more than 2 addresses. No more nicknames.

    Maybe I'll go back to gMail. :(

  10. I DO NOT have a mobile device of ANY kind. My other email I haven't accessed in years. If I change internet provider I lose THAT account.

    I DO NOT have a mobile device of ANY kind. My other email I haven't accessed in years. If I change internet provider I lose THAT account.
    If my Yahoo account is ever hacked in the future...Wouldn't all this info you're collecting compromise those too?
    PLEASE just give me an 'opt out' choice in any changes to my account!
    AND if ALL this is about "SECURITY"?...Why have a " Stay Logged In" feature? At least have THAT option unchecked instead of checked automatically!
    My Yahoo 'experience' is getting to be like a NIGHTMARE written by a deranged Dr. Suess.

  11. Allow me to scroll through the ads on the right side of the screen.

    A number of times I have clicked an email to read it when the ad on the right side of the screen changed to something I might want to read. Allow me some means to scroll through the ads manually.

  15. IF you want us to change our password on our accounts, it would help alot IF you would accept the new password that we enter!

    IF you want us to change our password on our accounts, it would help alot IF you would accept the new password that we enter! People with head injuries & memory issues have a hard time learning new things & have a limited number of things that we are able to be sure to remember to use as passwords!
    Incidentally...since you are pulling this nonsense on both of my Yahoo accounts, you can forget about replying to my yahoo e-mail since it looks like you will not allow me access to either one of them! Much better that you respond…

  17. Please advise why I keep getting "Inactivity timeout" too much time has passed without sending any data for document"

    If I get an attachment and try to download it I get this message over and over. Please advise how I can download my attachments without having this problem. Otherwise, Yahoo mail is pretty useless, right? And if I don't use it, I won't see your ADS! Please email me with the solution.

  19. How do I contact Yahoo via email to ask a question about the use of a graphic from one of their pages that says it is in the public domain?

    I want to email a person, not just have to go through all this whatever just to get help with my question. Does Yahoo have an email address that I can contact them through?
