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.

  6. 2nd verification step working for phone (Android version ) but not for main website

    When I change my password and sign back in to Yahoo....my phone version (Android) asks for 2nd verification ( which I signed up for ) and a verfication code is texted to my phone. This is supposed to happen when I sign back in ON THE MAIN WEBSITE BUT IT DOES NOT... i GET NO MESSAGE ASKING FOR 2ND VERIFICATION CODED TO BE SENT TO MY PHONE....PLEASE FIX....THIS IS MAJOR.... I HAVE "BASIC " SETTINGS ON MY MAIN WEBSITE VERSION, BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER TO YAHOO SINCE YAHOO DOESN'T "HONOR" OR HOLD THE BASIC SETTINGS ANYWAY....WHICH IS ANOTHER…

  10. Seems like latley Mail crashes and won't open a lot. Maybe I should switch to g-mail

    Get off your dead *** and fix the problems with mail not opening and not responding. Maybe I should switch everything to gmail as people I know that have it say they don't have this problem

  15. Everytime I log in, it asks for recovery email address even though I already set one

    Everytime I log into my email account, it asks me for a recovery email address even though I already set one and asks me for a mobile phone number. I put in a phone number, and of course, it still asks me for a recovery email address and phone number. It used to do it occasionally, but now it's every time. If it keeps this up, it will be the last straw, and I'll give up yahoo!

  18. Let me log into my account with my password! I can go via mail.yahoo.com, but a straight login with correct password actually fails!

    Let me log into my account with my password! I can go via mail.yahoo.com, but a straight login with correct password actually fails! Intermingling these things...account and e-mail...and do it so badly, is a FAIL! Please, Yahoo!, stop monkeying with things. Go back on all counts to what worked. Respect my privacy instead of demanding access to all sorts of things so you get to be the privileged gatekeeper...especially after publishing and compromising so much of our personal data already. Trust us. Especially on an account like mine that's about 20 years old. The problems with passwords have never been…

  19. How can I verify my account when I have to enter the code BEFORE I can enter my email, where you send it?

    Is there anything more stupid than expecting me to provide a code sent to my email when, to get into my email, I have to enter the code, but I am not in my email because to be in my email I have to have the code.

    Any wonder why the email isn't "verified?" Any wonder why you were the biggest hack in history?
