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. Restore Classic Mail

    I opened my mail this morning and some person completely changed Classic Mail. Are you people really this stupid as to keep changing what works and your users like or are you trying to make us abandon Yahoo and go to Gmail or another mail server? Because that is what is going to happen. The changes are so bad that your New Yahoo Mail looks more like the Classic Mail than the Classic Mail looks now.

    I don't know why but EVERY time I try to log into my yahoo account, it tells me my password is incorrect. I have reset password numerous times. I have even tried to immediately log in after changing it only to be told the EXACT same thing......it's incorrect. That is very frustrating and annoying to say the least. Fixing that problem would be a great idea

  5. Put my email back to the way it was this morning!!!!!! I did NOT ask for the new version and the "Basic" version now isn't what it was.

    not only did you switch my email to the new version without my consent, but when I switched back to Basic, it still isn't the way it was this morning.

  9. You need to show us how to delete our account, since your new "privacy" terms are terrible.

    Your claim of protecting our privacy is a fraud. We should have an easy way to delete our account, and all of our email history, without having to fly to New York for "arbitration".

Need to go back to Classic Mail as nothing works right on the new version of Mail so had to go back to basic just to get it to work!!!

  18. Yahoo mail just simply sucks. You people have no idea what you are doing. Hire some people from Google and fire the ones you have now.

    Stop doing upgrades and just simply fix the one you have. The "upgrades" always SUCK and break things. Y'all don't have a clue what you are doing. Don't upgrade this **** just because you can.

  19. I like the old basic version. Prefer my own password to sign in. also, only want email from my list of contacts

    Password and sign in is better.
    I do not like receiving emails from advertisers. I only want emails from people and companies I have put into my contact list.
    It is too time consuming to weed all the junk mail out.

  20. Give us back the old Yahoo Mail. This new version sucks! I kept bypassing the upgrade option but you forced it on me anyway.

    Stop forcing new versions on us and making things harder to find as well as things slowing down when navigating. Give me back my old email. I did not have to jump through a bunch of hoops to access all my bookmarks. The new email sucks. Change for the sake of change is a bad thing. Change that improves things is good. Stop making changes that were not needed.
