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. What is the Timeframe until Safari will be able to use a modern Yahoo Email Again?

    Safari can only use basic email at this point. What is the timeframe until it is set back to a modern email version? Is it going to be more than one or two more weeks?

  3. In "Recent Activity", eliminate "Sign Out".

    It makes no sense to allow someone to "sign out" an entry in the "Recent Activity" list. If I can sign out (and eliminate the listing of a session) then so can someone that's compromised my account.

    Also, "sign out" is a bit misleading. It sounds like the user may still be logged in somewhere (even if they've most certainly logged out). It should just be called "delete", because that's more apt to what you're doing. But again, I don't think being able to delete entries from this list aligns with the goal of a recent activity log.

    I would…

  6. Blocking email addresses

    It would be great if I could block email addresses from spammers without having to put in the entire address for instance, requiring only
    @(domain).(com)(net)(org) etc. to be entered.

  8. Please don't get any ideas about Yahoo Mail

    Recently Yahoo Finance changed its site design. In the process they destroyed a functioning site, generated many bugs, and upset most of their users. A note to Yahoo Mail: Please don't get any ideas redesigning the the Mail pages. Many people like the classic Mail pages, which work just fine.

    If you find the need to create some work for your technical staff, please approach the task with forethought and a plan. Act as adult professionals and preview any changes with your users before you blunder into it (like the misguided hacks at Yahoo Finance). Thank you.

  20. Would you kindly

    Would you kindly take this "upgrade your browser" notice and shove it where sun doesn't shine? Not very polite of me… Well, not very polite of you to keep showing it every single day and not even giving "Accept and forget" option. Not to mention that you sistematically fail to recognize the fact that the world of browsers is not limited to just three. Yahoo won't have "special" features in my browser? Well, fine by me, just stop spamming already!
