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. Stop try to force me into using Mail Pro. It sucks

    I pay for this account and as such I resent having you switch me to a format which I hate. Leave me with the basic account.

  2. My suggestion is to stop your biased news.

    Yahoo would be a much better mail provider if you would cut out the trash. I don't know when it became acceptable to blast mail recipients with all this news fodder. If you spent your time researching real news stories and stopped spreading your biased opinion about Trump's agenda it would be different. Obviously his manner is to create controversy to his advantage. I don't need to see it here with your interpretation. That goes for any and all Hollywood "stars" and their opinions to. They put their pants on just like I do and their lifestyle is much more…

  3. Yahoo, I hate, hate, hate, hate your newsfeed!!!!!!

    Newsfeed is ATROCIOUS!!!!!! When I'm trying to browse down through the newsfeed, the new stories and pages feed soooooo slow that I'm constantly skipping past stories and have to decrease the font so small, I can barely read what's on the page. What MORON(S) designed this page? PLEASE DO A TOTAL REBOOT!!!!!!!

  15. what happened to our mail? It automatically send to all contacts and ask for money?

    Hello,

    I'm sorry to bother you with this but it is a bad time for me . I had to make a sudden trip to Philippines due to some urgent matters to help my sick sister, she was diagnosed with (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) a type of Blood Cancer and had been undergoing treatment lately. The news of her illness arrived to me as an emergency.

  16. I used to be able to see 50 emails on home screen now you changed it to 25, why?

    I used to be able to pick if I wanted to see 200, 100, 50 or 25 emails on my home screen. Now you changed it to 25. It's now takes me all day to delete emails since I now can only delete 25 at a time. Bring back the option to let me pick how many emails I want to see at a time.

  18. Add Chromium as supported browser

    Chromium is a faster web browser than Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Explorer, Tor, etc. Yahoo! mail is distinguished by its lack of versatility when it comes to supporting other web browsers, it makes the platform rigid against other email providers, and ultimately it may also cost Yahoo! mail lose clients.
