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. If I block an email shouldn't it work? Well it doesn't! I still get emails from blocked email addresses already added to the system.

    If I block an email address I shouldn't continue to get them right? But I do from numerous email addresses I've blocked! Yahoo is really slipping on service. They used to be really good now they're not. I'm taking it under the last CEO that's the reason all this **** with Yahoo happened and also the reason I'll never ever pay for your service. You're no better than the other free email services. All are rated the same in my book - F!

  7. Sign into email constant verification is annoying

    Everyday I sign into my email I'm having to put in a pass code! Why?!!! Shouldn't you know it's me by now?! Why do I have to keep doing this?! It's irritating & ******* me off! YOU put us at risk now YOU want to be overly cautious?! WTF! I'm sick of Yahoo! You just get worse instead of better! Get your **** together & stop hassling us! Get rid of that CEO & maybe you'll do better! You were the best a long time ago, not anymore! You suck just as much as Google & any other free email…

  12. I want to have list of unread messages only

    Let there be a button that shows only unread messages rather than having to search for unread message in the mist of read message(s). This is really necessary because recently, a message that has been read over 3 week ago will suddenly appears as unread and now, you need to start searching for the message in an ocean.

  13. It wasn't broken

    If it ain't broke don't fix it. This has been a saying for years and yet you can't even follow this simple rule. Bring back the old email and quit trying to pigeon hole us into using a browser we don't want.
