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.

  2. Please stop asking me to authenticate my identity via my phone. That's what my password is for. I waste so much time.

    Please, please, I do not have time to waste when I log in, to wait for a code to be sent to my phone or alternative address. My password is pretty safe. Please, it is so annoying and burdensome. This is my main private account, but if it continues to be such a burden to log in, I will have to get one in google.

  5. Yahoo is no longer user friendly

    You have upgraded the email system so much that it is no longer user friendly. Back off the upgrading, remove the last upgrade and give me my email back. I have switched back to basic because this new system is too difficult to maneuver. The upgrades you are doing SUCK! and it just looks like someone is upgrading **** to keep their job.

  7. 2017 Stop asking me for my phone number!!!

    Every week, Yahoo decides that it would like to annoy the fire out of me by asking me for my phone number. From the amount of comments on this topic I see here, it appears it annoys the fire out of a lot of other folks, too. The really amazing thing is how tonedeaf Yahoo is with the same manufactured response every time:

    If you don’t have or don’t wish to provide your mobile number, click Remind Me Later rather than closing your browser window. This will ensure that you won’t be asked to provide your mobile phone number or…

  12. I DO NOT LIKE the new basic version of my email address. Please change it to the old version.

    I DO NOT LIKE the new basic version of my email address. Please change it to the old version.
    Also include my other emails: mariajoesoto@yahoo.com, thisnthat2218@yahoo.com and joesblessings@yahoo.com. I liked the them that I had on all my emails. I loved the other features it had. Why can't you leave well enough alone. Don't fix or change something that is not Broken or beautiful.

  17. Tabs in basic version is missing

    I can't work with this new version. everything takes sooo long.
    the window changes it size all the time and I can't reply an email like that.
    I switched back to the basic version but I miss the tabs.. can't open few email on the same time and switch between them.
    Also, "Enable conversations" is a good option to add to the basic version, but only as an optional.
    I wish you had a phone number because it is difficult for me to express myself and explain everything in English and in writing...

  20. Do NOT AUTOMATICALLY EMPTY TRASH FOLDER!!! I absolutely cannot STAND this flippin feature! Please..

    Whenever I end up needing an email I deleted, I cant go back and retrieve it..why? Because my Trash folder is automatically emptied. I am hoping you can retrieve my recent DRAFT email that I SAVED and cannot find. Im ****** because I needed that. If its not retrieved and the possibility of the auto Emptying of the Trash folder not being resolved. Im so gone. We need room for error and automatically deleting stuff takes away the second chance most of us need.
