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. The moving ads on the sides causes the email to freeze intermittently. This makes composing emails extremely difficult!

    Get rid of the moving ads on the sides which cause the email site to freeze intermittently. Among other things, this makes composing emails extremely difficult! When I am trying to type an email, the keyboard freezes every time each ad loads. It takes forever to finally type a single word. Horrible!

  2. I have a problem. When I open a new window the bars show up with nothing in them. They used to tell me which window was what.

    I don't know which is which as I have had 3 different ones!! The first is just a long list of emails, the old version. Another one has popped up with a split screen and I hate it. The third one has a list but all divided according to day/date. I like this one. How can I keep it?

    Please Close this email account. I will no longer use it due to yahoo's excessive requirements. For your information, I am abandoning this account and will never use it again.

  6. Problem accessing email

    I can't access my email from my phone or home computer. I don't know what is going on with your system but nothing is working to let me in to delete or view my emails unless I go to the basic email on my computer. But I'm SOL on my phone.

  9. Return to previous email setup. It was fast and simple to use! It's so stupid now to have to play games to get the inbox to open, too compli

    PLEASE return to the old email, it was so easy to use and now it's like taking a test to even find out how to open it. And what's with this "Basic" ****. Just give us the same good thing we get on MSN. Good service!

  14. THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION BUT A DEMAND!!! BEFORE, I COULD LOOK AT ALL MY EMAIL ACCOUNTS AT ONCE. I DID NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH A TWO DEVICE

    I DON'T LIKE THE "TWO DEVICE" METHOD OF SIGNING INTO EMAIL. I DON'T LIKE SWITCHING SCREENS TO GET A SECURITY CODE TO SIGN IN. MY PASSWORD ISN'T RECOGNIZED ANY MORE. YOU HAVE CHANGED EVERYTHING SO MUCH I'M CONSIDERING DROPPING YAHOO ALL TOGETHER AND GO TO ANOTHER WEB ADDRESS!!!!!

  17. Disaster policy

    After Hurricane Katrina I couldn't get online for several months. Yahoo policy for non use of account for a month deleted all my saved mail and contacts heaping unnecessary loss on top of disaster loss. Now there are several disasters and millions of people facing loss they don't even know about. I hope you are considering your disaster response situation.

  20. How do notify the Yahoo Team about my SPAM/Phishing emails??? I want to help your team work on the security filters!

    I think it would be a good idea for an option to send your Email Security Team (or bots) some things to look for in the emails to block them completely. So instead of seeing repeated emails in the SPAM folder, the servers could pretty much just BLOCK those SPAM/Phishing emails.

    What do you think?
