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.

  3. ******** very much for the lovely little bit of supposed "unusual activity" with my account this morning.

    ******** very much for the lovely little side trip into using a special pass code to get into my email this morning. For imaginary unusual activity. Then you made me use the code. Twice. Truly, it was ******* astonishing.

  8. Put it back like it was 2-3 years ago!

    Put it back like it was 2-3 years ago! I tried the newest one-and hated it -now I went back to classic, but you've changed it, as well. I've had yahoo mail since 1999, but I will use someone else if you don't fix this soon. It didn't need "improving"!

  9. "UNWANTED EMAILS"

    Develop an app unsubscribing unwanted emails that have entered the
    spam or email inbox. The app should unsubscribe from anonymous emails that have no unsubscribe feature on them (website or an individual sender). An app that shuts down intruding personal emails from an unknown sender with a notification sent to a sender (source) that they will be cited for an invasion of privacy of an individual, a network, or a firm. Whether or not these sites were subscribed by Yahoo clients or not, there must be an option for Yahoo clients to shut down unwanted emails from automated mailing from…

  13. OATH ,This is unfair behaivour!

    Whrn opened Yahoo mails, OATH terms and regulation windows appeared and you can not passed over! you have to choose one of them option "yes" or "later". While reading terms and regulations or updates of Yahoo terms, as shortly you will be allowed Verizon to take your privite informations (you know , internet issues, web sites, interest, age, ***, ads whatever) and distribute within Verizon's internal circles!
    But the most important point is; if you won't to share your privacy with Verizon, there is only one option to link goes to "delete your account".

    this mean, Verizon is really behaviour…

  17. I believe it is now time for us all to start considering leaving Yahoo and filing a law suit against Yahoo for failing to secure our account

    I believe it is now time for us all to start considering leaving Yahoo and filing a law suit against Yahoo for failing to secure our accounts. I have had Yahoo allowing someone or something to go into my email and throw all my FBI files away. And there was no FBI files coming to me after that point. So, how did these people get into my account and erase the file, and then stopped the FBI from sending them to me from that day forward. Yahoo not only did to write me via email to let me know that…

    Yahoo spam is a joke. I'm constantly having to go through my spam folder to mark mail I rely on as Not Spam. It's like five year olds are developing the ****.
