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. Leave the basic version of Yahoo Mail alone. Every time I log in I have to change back to the basic version from the advanced version.

    Every time I log into Yahoo mail I have to manually switch it back to the basic version from the "new" version. It will not let me save the changes. Very annoying to say the least.

  3. I hate the "new and improved" email look, but it's also buggy.

    When I sign on to email and am greeted by the "new and improved" version, I noticed that it's also buggy. When I first log in, I can see how many emails are in my in box, but my spam box shows nothing. But when I switch back to the old version, it shows how many spams are in my spam box. This needs to be fixed before you start forcing us to use something we don't want in the first place.

  10. Privacy Issues

    I understand that you need to post your Ads in order to sell your products however YOU are invading my personal space and privacy by NOT allowing me to decide for myself.....I have repeatedly voiced my opinion on this and yet I still continue to see your Ads....when I did not ask to see your Ads in the first place nor am I interested in purchasing your products! If I do not want Ads of any kind from any company then that is MY RIGHT NOT YOURS! Listen to the rights of the people and respect our wishes!

  12. The old version was better visually. Sad I can't get back my classic view.

    I know things have to change, but the new version is hard to look at and it's not as quick. My eyes can't handle all the bright flashing ads. It looks cheesy.

    Also, it's deceiving to make ads/promoted companies look like one of my emails in the hopes I'll mistakenly click on it.

    I know you all have to generate income but come on now. Might have to use gmail for personal emails now, too.

  15. It doesn't need to be improved. Most commenters agree.

    So how about leaving it alone and letting us enjoy the platform? What's in it for Yahoo to upset its users?

  20. UNAUTHORIZED EMAIL SWITCH

    HOW MANY TIMES DO "WE" THE ACTUAL USERS HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR SWITCHING THE EMAIL TO YOUR ****** "NEW AND IMPROVED" NOT!!!! IS A ******** THING TO DO??? THE NEW VERSION SUCKS DOES NOT WORK AND IT IS INCREDIBLY BALLSY OF YOU TO THINK YOU CAN DO IT WITH OUT REPERCUSSIONS. IF YOU THINK PEOPLE HATE FACEBOOK YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE YOU ARE RIGHT UP THERE AS NUMBER 2 ON THE IF I COULD SWITCH MY BUSINESS EMAIL TO SOMETHING ELSE I WOULD IN A HEARTBEAT LIST.
