← Yahoo Feedback


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. SMTP Logins constantly fail with Thunderbird

    Dear supporters, i face issues every now and then (very frequent actually) sending emails via Thunderbird on OSX, while receiving emails in the same session never fails. Error message always indicate login issues. But logging in to web UI and sending from there then always succeeds. Is there anything i can do about it via my configuration?
    Would be terrific!

  7. "Yahoo Help" is no help at all, it seems to take a person in cirles, with no info.

    There is no way I can change my font or size when I compose, nor can I discover a way to fix that.

  8. My email messages keep getting checked randomly even though I am not doing that. I'm afraid something will get deleted by mistake.

    Stop emails from being checked automatically without my doing that!

  12. There is NO help offered despite repeated requests - I get an automated response to my question, but no follow up. Horrible customer service

    Try HELPING when the HELP link is clicked - so far, nothing has been resolved on the issues I have had.

    If the Key is so much better, why has my spam in my inbox grown, and now my family and friends are getting tons from ME???? Thinking it's time to find a new email account SMDH

  17. Warn users of phony email account message from "Email Routine" using address editor@nmsa.org.za

    Have gotten two emails that appeared to be from Yahoo concerning my email account but were actually from address: editor@nmsa.org.za (South African museum). Opened first one before I realized who it was from and it warned my email account would be terminated if I didn't provide security information. Because I'm constantly being asked to verify my telephone number by Yahoo, thought it might be legit until I noticed sender email address by placing cursor over name that showed in my inbox. Got another one today from same address titled "Final Update (Validate Your Account)" Might want to warn users since…
