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.

    The phone no I have on account is 86-9999999999 It does not let me delete the phone no & keeps saying it would send a code to this ph no. Every body does not have a phone. Phones can be hacked too. Phones don't work when you are traveling Internationally. I would prefer to go back to Q & Answer to prove. Today I was able to log in with luck so I am writing to you. I was not able to log in for a long time

  8. It's **** to have to deal with another NEW interface. Leave it to **** alone!

    Vote with your feet. It may be a pain to switch addresses with your contacts, but it's the only way Yahoo will get the message that we're sick of their tech department playing with the interface to keep themselves from getting bored. Switch to another mail provider.

  11. I'm done. This new email is ****!!!!!!!! I can't do anything with it

    Now I really am going to find another email system. This is worthless. You can't do anything with this junk like you could with the old system. It's a real shame because I've had yahoo mail for a really long time. I'll take all of my emails somewhere else. I'm tired of fighting this. This "new" system is a BIG step backwards.

  16. Where are settings in the new mail?! Also, your chat assistant is useless.

    I want to change how the new mail (which I do not like) is viewed. I want to see the split screen with my inbox list at the top and the email open below. But I can't even find the settings option or any way to change how things are viewed. I tried the live chat option to ask for help and was immediately told they can't help (they were "responding" before I even finished typing) and tried to sell me the new pay version. It is clearly a robot and not a helpful one, at that. LEAVE THE OLD…

  18. tab metaphor was reason to use yahoo mail

    "new" basic mail is a reason to leave yahoo mail
    the tab metaphor to have multiple messages open at the same time was a key reason to use yahoo mail.
    The next message and previous message buttons are greyed out in win 7 ie11 and or missing entirely.
    I guess it is time to move to Hotmail as my primary

  19. Why have you changed the version of Yahoo?? It is difficult to read or to forward..Why do you keep making it more difficult to stay with Ya

    Are you trying to lose business or followers?? What did you do with the old version of Yahoo...This one is archaic... Give back the old version and leave it alone..If it's not broken...please don't try to fix it!!!

  20. Arrow Keys to go to the Next or Previous Email

    In the new email, which is horrible, when you do a search and pull up emails, you can't just use the arrow keys to go to the next or previous email in the search. You have to go back out to the search list and click on the next or previous email. TAKES FOREVER and I don't have that kind of time when I'm trying to get work done.
